Writing Adventures

I had a dream just now... It was kind of scary in a way depending on how you view it. Hope you enjoy =). Also as a note, I did not abandon my mini-series writing project about Ken and Lily. It's just thinking of ideas and where to go and how to keep it interesting... Sorry about that... It's not so frequent as I had hope, but quality over quantity is what I think is important. And also thinking on other stuff too. ~~~ I'm tired. Sigh. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my face with my hands after trying to pull out my hair. All over my desk had random pieces of paper everywhere with scribbles, food, empty pop cans, and opened books to pages I hope to read. I glanced at my clock on the bedside cabinet. 3:00 AM. Another late night. A hot bath may clear my mind and rejuvenate my body to keep on going just a little longer. When the bath was filled with warm water, I threw my clothes in a hurry to the washroom floor and slid in with my eyes closed. At first touch it ...

Update : October 30, 2014. I'm sharing this post on Julie Valerie's Book Blog as part of the Hump Day Blog Hop. Join in on the fun and click on the link or the one at the end of this post. HUMP DAY BLOG HOP “On Hump Day About Books” RUNS FOR ONE WEEK WEDNESDAY (Oct 29, 2014) to WEDNESDAY (Nov 5, 2014) ~~~ I just thought of this idea randomly just now. I swear that this was influenced by something long ago, but I can't remember where the inspiration came from. Nevertheless, hope you enjoy =) ~~~ "Jess, what should we put here?" My eight year old sister, Agnes had asked and pointed at the laptop screen. I was controlling the mouse on the screen, and we were setting up a profile on a dating site. I clicked in the box labelled "Hobbies", and was ready to type on the keyboard. "I don't know. We can't possibly put our dad's normal hobbies. They're too boring." "I agree!" Agnes chimed in loudly. "C...

Sorry for the delay, I realized that writing it on the spot is become harder and the key thing with writing it in multiple parts with no central document to hold all of the chapters is consistency. I've gathered all of the chapters that I have written so far in a Word document so that I can read past chapters and have nothing come out of hand and to foreshadow more. To help keep me sane. Even though this is practice, I still want to tell a good interesting story (or at least I hope it is interesting). I'm also sorry that it isn't as daily as it is, maybe when I get better with practice, I can churn out the ideas more often. Hope you enjoy the latest part... and hope you await for future chapters to come for more of the story to unfold between Ken and Lily. ~~~ From the corner of my eyes, I saw Lily stopped washing the dishes, and heard her whisper, “Me too.” “What do you mean?” I looked over at her, eyebrows raised. “Isn't it obvious?” As both my heart and mind w...

The night continued on with the full moon out, as the sun peeked up from the horizon, it had signaled the beginning of the new morning. I saw Lily had walked downstairs into the kitchen in her pajamas, still sleepy, then her eyes opened up right away as soon as she saw me, like a deer facing headlights. She sat the furthest away from me at the table, avoiding eye contact and focusing on the food. Breakfast began with everyone, including their parents. This reminded me of when Jason and I were younger when I would sleep over at his house many years ago. Those were good times. With a stroke of coincidence, Lily and I were delegated to the task of dish washing. After minutes of silence, I said, grinning, "Last night really happened?" She nodded, her cheeks reddening due to embarrassment. "I wanted to see you happy even if it is only a bit." "Thanks for being supportive, but it is a bit weird. You're like a sister to me." ...

I shifted myself subtly on the couch, but enough for Lily to notice. She backed away quickly,  her cheeks flushed, especially after seeing me awake. "I'm really sorry," she said, panicked and embarrassed. "I should head to bed now." "What was all of that just now?" I asked after sitting up. "I really regret it right now,  but I was so close to you, watching, that it...  just happened." "It's okay, although a little odd since you're like a sister to me," I replied, "but if your brother hears about this, he's going to kill me." She was initially crestfallen, but soon after giggled, putting her hand up to her mouth. "That's true. It's our little secret. Good night, Ken. I hope you feel better soon." When I was alone, after it had been all done and said, when I found out that it was only Lily, I was disappointed it was only her. My he...

The next time I regained consciousness, I was lost for a moment in both time and space, until I realized I was still on the couch given the fact that a soft cushion was under me. Did I just fall asleep on the couch unnoticed? It was a stressful week from work aside from the drama with Emily, maybe Jason left me alone to get some rest. In the midst of my thoughts, I realized just now that my lips was connected to another. My first thought was Emily. Then I sniffed the surrounding area, the sweet floral scent of peach apricot floating in the air. Was this a dream? I could hear my heart beat pulsing quickly all over my body, each of my muscles were tightening from their relaxed state, then I finally opened my eyes to witness an unlikely scenario. Although I was so close that I could only see her closed eyes, her nose, and a few strands of black hair falling forwards over her face, I knew who it was. Lily.

Lily. I never actually noticed how much she had grown. She turned out to be really cute in her navy blue dot print blazer, dark blue jeans, white blouse, and the fact that she was still single too. But I'm not surprised, given that Jason is overprotective of her. "Ken, what are you thinking?" Jason raised his left eyebrow, puzzled. "You've been staring off into the distance." I sighed. "It's nothing. Tired. Do you mind if I stay the night here? Some of Emily's stuff is still at my place, and it's so suffocating being alone there." "Sure thing, anything for a friend." "I'm grateful of your support through these times." I slapped my hand against his back, appreciative of his response. Then I couldn't remember anything else afterward, but darkness had enveloped me.
