I recently discovered this initiative and since I thought it is a splendid idea,
from now I'll try to publish Six sentences from either a Work in Progress (WiP),
a published work or one that hasn't been published at all.
Today's six sentence belong to the story I just started working on last Tuesday. Enjoy!
Here was a man of power.
A man beyond any she had ever met; a man that eluded her comprehension.
He was a man that appealed to her senses in a primeval way.
She knew she should feel fear but her mind simply did not process it.
Instead her heart quickened until its pulse beat in her ears like a tribal drum.
Conrad lowered his head an inch, then another, and another until their lips were so close their breaths mingled in the cold spring morning.
In my attempt to make this a more active blog today I'm starting something which I've titled "Thursday Melodies". The name almost speaks for itself. Every Thursday I'll post a song that I consider is good for "setting the mood". The moods will vary.
Today, I'll start with something sweet. It's a song by the Finnish band HIM, titled "You are the one". I think if I ever were to get married this song would play in my wedding. Enjoy!
As you might notice I've made a few changes. For starters you can now find the links to all my published short stories at the top of the page on a little slot that reads "short stories". Next to it, there is another tab in which you will find the links to other published works.
I've also changed the color and the font of the text along with a few minor changes on the side bar.
I'm not entirely satisfied, but it's still a work in progress. Nonetheless, I hope you keep enjoying it and never forget to keep dreaming :)
I just read this article on Time Magazine and I think they're forgetting the main point about romance novels: They're fiction. They help countless of women (and men) forget their sorrows and loneliness. What would be the point of reading a romance novel that depicted the reality of a real relationship? To know pain, frustration, doubts, fear... we can look at the world around us.
Romantic fiction, just like any other fiction, is just that: Fiction. Imaginative magic.
It's been quite a while! But I'm finally back! After all my exams, projects, and stress I've returned with a new sizzling short story for your pleasure:
I'm still fighting off those exams, but I just had to get a little writing done and stop by to say hello to you all. This morning I was cleaning the house accompanied with some music and I got to thinking about voices. People's appearances are important but so are voices. I remember this one time on the subway a really cute boy got on the same train I was riding on. He was quite a sight! But then, all the illusion wore off as soon as he opened his mouth to speak. What a disappointment. His voice was horrible! High pitched and squeaky it totally ruined the effect of his good looks.
Just like some voices are a turn off some voices are a total turn on. They're the sort of voice that reverberate through your body. The sort of voice that whispered in your ear makes your hair stand on end and causes a shiver to run down your spine. The kind of voice that reaches into your core and makes desire unfurl. Of course, each person has his own preference...I think I go more for the deep, sultry, husky, velvety...
Anyhow, as I swept away the dust I thought about a few singers which have that voice...the sort of voice that makes you shudder with anticipation.This is my selection. How about yours? What sort of voice turns you on?
1. Ville Valo from HIM. What a voice, that deep timbre.., it makes goosebumps rise on my skin. All HIM song's are great, but this one is a keeper, it is a song to make love to all night long.
2. Jape VonCrow from To Die For. I don't know what it is about this man's voice that it just turns me on. I think it might be the accent behind it...I'm not sure, it just happens.
3. Peter Steele from Type O Negative. Unfortunately, Peter passed away last year. He was a great musician and will be sorely missed, but his music is still there and his voice is just primeval.
4. Ville Laihiala from Poisonblack (ex Sentenced). I wanted you guys to hear a beautiful song he sings with Negative singer, Jonne Aaron, but I can't find it on YouTube. Nonetheless, what I love from this Ville is that husky quality his voice has.
5. Originally as number 5 I was going to post JP from Charon and this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNkQvxPsBlo but embedding is once again disabled, so I'm posting this one from Beseech, sung by Erik Molarin. Not only is his voice a turn on, but listen carefully to the song...and the way he rolls those 'r's in Erotica...yummy!
First change the drawing to a female. Then add long wavy hair, clean clothes and normal looking nails. Next, switch the portofolio for a laptop with several different projects and page after page of class notes. Finally, switch the eyes to half closed because the coffee is no longer having an effect. Result? Me. And I've still got about 2 and a half months left of this torture. Ouchy.
