I said I wasn’t going to stalk New Moon like I did Twilight. When the movie came out, I knew most of the scenes and the lines because I stalked www.edwardandbella.net, which, IMHO, is the ultimate Twilight fan site. While I was still engrossed, I probably would have enjoyed it more if there was a surprise factor. I mean, I already know the story. Maybe if I didn’t know how the scenes would look like…
Anyway, I received a Tweet from one of the people I’m following and I couldn’t resist taking a peek and gah!
Here, I think I might just follow the trail of breadcrumbs again. Because of this New Moon poster. It’s a fan manip and Photoshopped but who cares?!
No. Must.not.check.New.Moon.site.
That awesome pic is from this page. Head on over there and say thank you. Oh, happy day!

I, once more, am nocturnal. When I was working in the call center industry, I was on the night shift (9 or 10 p.m. to around 6 a.m.) from March 2004 to November 2007. So, three years akong puyat. I don’t mind the night shift, although I did when my non-night shift friends wanted to go out in the afternoons and I either couldn’t go with them, or I couldn’t keep awake to enjoy the gimmik.
Right now, my body clock is going haywire. I can sleep at 6 p.m. and wake up in the wee hours of the morning, or keep awake until 4 a.m., just writing. I love writing at night. I’m the only one who’s awake so no noise, no one reading over my shoulder, no chores to do. It’s just me, my laptop, and my characters.
I’ve read somewhere that creative people like the night… or people are more creative during the night… I can’t really remember. And being “creative” at night doesn’t sound as innocent as I meant it to sound *snicker*
*Googles stuff* Oh! Here you go. Night owls are more creative. Ah.
Anyway, at the moment I can’t really concentrate on Doc Ollie (parang “brocolli”) who is the character I’m working on because I have to catch up on work. I promised one of my bosses two articles an hour, and I’m running behind, but I still want to write fiction because it’s so peaceful (if you don’t count the occasional tricycle passing outside and the airplanes going over head).
Which is the best time for you to write?
P.S. I really <3 the owl pic

Site is still under construction. Please bear with me. It’s easier than I thought it would be, but it just takes time to move some of the content from the old blog to the new site. But it doesn’t matter because I’m having tremendous fun doing it. I still think it’s a bit messy though, so I’ll be tweaking and doing some more stuff until my OCD self is happy with it. I also found a lot of cool themes, but this one caught my eye because it looks and feels so much like my fave WP theme, ChaoticSoul hehe
My heart’s breaking a bit because I have to leave the other WordPress blog, and all the comments and wonderful messages from people. But as they always say, change is inevitable. I just have to harden my heart and I’ve already imported all of the entries and comments from the old blog. I do hope you enjoy your stay here as much as you enjoyed the other site. Also all posts after this are cross posts from my Eliseanfields @ WordPress blog.
Welcome to the Elisean Plains, everyone!

I don’t believe in writer’s block. I don’t believe I’ve ever had one. I may be shy in real life, but when I write, I’m quite the chatterbox… like Donkey in Shrek. So when I don’t write it’s because I’m lazy :p not because I don’t know what to write.
I was stuck on chapter four for three months when I was writing Crescent Heart. It was because Noah (yes, I blame the characters) thought chapter four of my original manuscript was all wrong and all of them were too OOC (out-of-character) for the story to continue. So I re-wrote the pivotal chapter four and finished the rest of the MS in eleven hours.
With that book, it was a matter of logistics. With this book that I’m working on right now (Working Title: Enchanted by You), I’m stuck… well, not really stuck, but I haven’t added a word to it in three days. I started it on Tuesday and it’s still at 50% (based on a 23K word count). I know what would happen next. I know what would happen to the lead characters three other brothers, for crying out loud. I’m just too dang lazy! I remember that my first book had to become my second book because it took me a year to finish it *sigh*
So I’m kinda curious. Do you get writer’s block? What do you do about it? How long does it take you to write an MS?
Anyway, someone said that the only way to become a writer is to write… so, yeah. I’m writing… let me just post a few Tweets first
