Writing Update

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 15, 2009, 2:16 PM
Hello! I can't believe I haven't updated this thing since way back in August. :P Some of you might be wondering what I've been up to. School mostly, but I have finished up a Star Trek fanfic on FF.net, and it turned out all right. I was quite proud of myself for writing such a long piece. It's longer than my Norribeth fics! Speaking of Norribeth, don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise to write something else. I have an interesting story in mind that I haven't started on, but I'm planning to get on it as soon as NaNoWriMo is over. Unfortunately, NaNo is in full swing right now, and considering I'm about 3,000 words behind where I should be, I don't think I'll be able to get much more writing out.

I also wanted to share with all of you another writing related project I'm working on. I'm in a creative writing class at uni, and for our exam we're creating a portfolio. I'm going to submit a few short stories and some poetry, some of which I've written, and some of which are still in my head. Once that's done and turned in, I'd really like to share the poetry with all of you. I've never been much of a poet, but I feel really happy and proud of how my poetry has turned out so far. The theme of the portfolio is the "hidden things" in life; the events that go on in other people's lives that we never get to see. It's really a collection of poignant, interesting moments. So, you have that to look forward to if that sort of thing interests you.

Thanks for all the faves and comments in the past few months! It's always nice to have people comment on your work several months after you put it up. It let's me know that people are still interested. :)

Greetings, friend!
I had this idea for a multi-chapter Norribeth fanfiction pop into my head a few moments ago and I wanted to see what you think. I like how you, and so many other Norribeth writers, explore what the relationship between James and Elizabeth would've been like if they'd gotten married after CotBP.

So here's my idea:
After the events of CotBP, Will saves Jack but instead of staying and telling Elizabeth he loves her, he falls off the parapet with Jack.

Elizabeth is left behind to fulfill her promise to marry Norrington, but before she can, Beckett shows up with his warrants for Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and the Commodore.

It would be very much like the movies, except for the fact that Elizabeth is caught between her thirst for adventure and an unexplored love, and her promise to James.


Is this a good idea? Is it lame? I would really like you feedback. The idea is eating my soul...so I think I'm going to start writing. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

I think you should go for it! It's certainly a different tale than the one I'm telling. I have yet to see any Norribeth fic that explores such an idea. I can't wait to see where you go with it! :D
