Yes. I have finally decided to make more progress on my WIP, Angel. (not the actual title, but a temporary title until I finish the book.) It’s way different (okay, maybe not THAT different) than Chiaroscuro (V. Fia)…but it WILL be the first new project I’m working on since I started the whole V. Fia project (starting with Lightweaver) in 7th grade. And that’s a VERY LONG TIME. (considering the fact that I had countless ideas come and go in my head)
“Angel” is a little more dark and gothic than V. Fia. It’s actually based on this one nightmare I had (Yes,my nightmares are as gothic as the first video of the Kuroshitsuji ones below…which is probably why I liked the anime so much…very vivid with lots of red, black, and blue, and white, too) in the summer of 8th grade, I think.
It’s about this girl, Evangeline “Eva” Snow, who finds herself tracked down by Azrael, the angel of Death. Azrael is convinced Eva is a threat to the whole balance of life and death because she has the ability to bring inanimate/dead objects to life. (that’s as far as I’m gonna go, because I don’t want to spoil anymore)
My nightmare was actually a very interesting one where I was having a nightmare very much alike with the one in the beginning of the book that Eva has.
The nightmare, if I remember correctly, was something like this:
I wake up (or think I wake up) b/c I think I heard someone approach my bedroom. (we have wooden floors so you can hear even a needle dropping) It’s dark in my room, and I sit up, trying to see in the darkness (my lightswitch is in the far side of the room)…and then I almost get killed by a beautiful yet demonic angel like the ones you see in medieval paintings. I fortunately escape, get somehow involved in a car chase (which I’m NOT going to put in the book, because the car had actual people from school in it), and in an attempt to get away from the angel, we swerve off the road, dive off a bridge (accidental suicide) and fall into a deep, blue lake. Car sinks. I’m the only survivor. Angel picks me up and carries me to…somewhere. Probably somewhere where he can finish me off. I DK. The dream ends. (all this stuff after the car crash is probably not going to be in the book.)
And I, like any normal person who had a freaky nightmare (NOT), woke up and went: WHOAA I AM SO TOTALLY GONNA WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN ONE OF MY NOVELS! TRALALALALA~ -skips to the shower-
So yeah. And as for V. Fia, I honestly am a little sick of it now. I am one of those people who have a short attention span and like new, shiny things. I’m gonna come back to it, of course, but after I write the first draft of “Angel”. I want to get it all written down before I forget it like the countless ideas I lost in the time I was focusing on V. Fia.
