The documentary is finished!

Wow... I really got up late this morning.

Erm... this afternoon, more likely.

Normally, when I don't have to go to school, I wake up rather early. Let's say, about 8.30 - 9.00. But today? Wow... It was 12.54 when I woke up. I'm shocked! Luckily my mom wasn't home. She left me a note on the table saying she went out to do some shopping and visiting a friend for her birthday.
I had just shoved a bowl of cereals in, when she got back. I said hi, we talked a bit and then she asked when I got up. Hahaha... I was too ashamed to admit it had been just 15 minutes, so I mumbled something.

Then I went upstairs to work a bit on my documentary. It's finished now, but I have some mixed feelings about it. Perhaps the music is a bit too sentimental, I really don't like my face (ugh!) and in the end, it isn't really a documentary in the strict sense of the word.
But, then again, I like how my family and friends are portrayed ;-)

What do you guys think? I'll post it at the end of this entry...

And with working on the docu, I hadn't much time for Nano. Oopsie. But I'll make it up by writing this evening. Wheeee :D
So now I'm still stuck on 3.134 words... I know it's not much... and I really have no clue how I'll ever reach the 50.000. *sigh*
I'll just have to keep on writing, I guess.

P.S: uploading this video was a real pain in the ass... Gah. I had to use Photobucket, but that means the quality is bad... I hope you don't mind ;-)

A piece of Nano...

Hi everyone!

I was just working on my Nano project this morning, when I remembered that Frigga asked if I would post something of it here. So I looked if there was something that might interest you guys. I don't know if it's any good, though. I had to translate everything from Dutch to English. And yes, I know I write in English here on Pervy, but it's a whole lot different to write fiction in English too. (And yes, I know I still make a lot of mistakes I'm not aware of :P )

So cut me some slack ;-) and enjoy my horrible scribblings, hahaha.


Shaw's mouth curled up in a mocking smile. He saw how uncomfortably she felt on her feet, sunk in the soft moquette. He saw how her hands moved nervously. She didn’t know what to do with them.
But suddenly she looked right at him and Shaw seemed to freeze on the spot.
She smiled the same smile that had become his trade mark, and raised her chin. Shaw’s eyes changed to warning slits and his mouth became a tight line.
She noticed nothing of it, and even if she did, she didn’t give a damn. She continued to look at him and stepped slowly towards him. Shaw tried to halt her with his gaze, but that did not seem to bother her at all. She still approached.
She stopped right in front of him. A couple of seconds, neither spoke. Both remained silent.
Shaw refused to give in. He resembled a statue, leaning against his table and unwilling to move even a centimeter. Miss Parker stood right in front of him, and she too, refused to give in and withdraw.
They continued to stare at each other. Tension filled the air with a warm glow.
Then, her smile changed, evolved to something more. It broke through completely. Her eyes seemed to sparkle and Shaw could do nothing else but swallow and stare back at her. She seemed to know that this victory belonged to her.
Yet Shaw remained perfectly still. And as said, he resembled a statue, with his cold, tight, and by a lot of people probably described as deadly, expression. But Miss Parker smiled as if she knew something about him. A secret, a certain knowledge. She seemed to want to play with him, very much like how a cat plays with a mouse. Shaw could easily picture her with pointy ears and a tail. He almost laughed, but in place of that, he lifted his eyebrow and looked at her askingly. She seemed to want something from him, but what?
Suddenly, she shoved her hand right under his nose.
“You have a deal, My Lord. From now on, I will be your new house keeper.”


Ow god, now I'm ashamed... Blaaaah ha ha ha...

What classic movie are you?

I was visiting Frigga's blog, and when I saw her newest post, I decided I had to take that quiz too!
I mean, wheeeee, I wanted to know what movie I am. Turns out I'm an 'eeeeasy riderrr'. Yay.
See what it says? I just want to be calm, cool and comfortable. Yeah baby, you got that?

In the meanwhile, I went to shoot my documentary assignment for school today. Don't know how that's going to turn out. I'll have to see, I guess.
So now, for the rest of my day, I'm going to divide my time between editing the documentary and writing on my Nano project. I have 2.415 words, btw.
Only 47.585 words to go.... *whee*

Woohoo!

I have a title for my NaNoWriMo project!

And the winner is.......:

I thought it would fit perfectly with my story, since it's all about perception.
About how my (Anti) Hero sees the world. And about how others see the Hero. Ok, I admit, this is not very romantic looking. And yes, it's still going to be a romance story, although I would rather call it a Dark Romance (Muahahahaaaa!!!)

I thought of a pretty name for him too, he he he. He's now named Illias Shaw.

(<--- This is him, here. See?! He has that 'evil' look, oh yeah!)

The Heroine has the lovely name Rebecca (or Becca for short) Parker. Don't have a picture of her yet, but that'll come. Don't worry ;-)

Tomorrow it's the 1st. Exciting! :-D

Wish me luck ;-)

P.S: Ooops, I forgot to mention a Happy Halloween to you all!

*Happy Halloween!!*

NaNoWriMo

Hi guys!

I'm thinking of participating with NaNoWriMo this year. I discovered it last year, mid November. I didn't participate then, not enough time, but I guess I'll take my chance this year. It seems like a lot of fun, trying to write a book. And since I always wanted to do that, I guess this is my moment, eh? ;-)

Of course, deciding to do Nano this year means I had to make a few choices. I won't be writing in English. If I ever want to reach that 50K in a month's time, I think I'll have to stick with my Dutch.
Also, over the last few years, I worked and plotted out about 4 stories. All historical romances. For this Nano, I want to write a historical too, but not one of my 4 pet projects. I'm afraid to touch them, and/or perhaps to ruin them, hahaha... So I had to think out a whole new idea. I did that last week. I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I have my plot outlined already, but I don't know if I even like my characters.
The story itself is OK, I guess. But those characters! I seriously doubt it if my 'hero' could be considered as hero material.
Okay, I confess. My other 4 projects are rather unusual too. I always had and will have a liking for unusual romances. But this time?...
Wow, things are strange, really.

I have a hero with a Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He's a killer and has a total lac of morals. My heroine is a golddigger.

*sigh*

But I do have my plot line. Hehehe :D

Perhaps I should just go with the flow, and simply write this Nano project.

Anywho, what do you guys think?

Love
