Hello, lovelies! It's been a while since I did my share of Beautiful People, hosted by Sky at Further Up and Further In and Georgianna at Before My Penn Has Gleaned. So I decided that now is better than never ^_^
I'm doing these questions for Anna, one of my main characters from Avaria, because I've recently dusted off her book and started plotting again [finally]. So here we go.
1. If your character could be played by any actor, who would it be?
Eh. I'm not exactly sure. I don't watch enough movies to know any actresses around her age who would make the cut. Maybe... No. I just don't know xD
2. Does your character have a specific theme song?
I almost feel like it should be Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen or something melancholy like that. But maybe that's just the guilt for all the horrible things I've put her through getting to me ;_;
3. What’s their worst childhood memory?
Her dad leaving when she was about ten years old. She's sixteen, and she hasn't seen him since. It scarred her badly--I don't even know how badly, and I've been writing her story for about five years o_o
4. If your character had a superpower, what would it be?
She'd probably be able to fly or something cool like that. Though she's fast, so maybe she'll be Flash 2. Or Flash Jr.
5. If your character crashed on an island with a bunch of other people, how would your character help the group survive?
Not by having a mental breakdown, that's for sure. She'd probably do a good job of masking her fear, organizing the survivors, and being all rough and tumble; then she'd have her breakdown after rescue.
6. Are they married? If not, do they someday wish to be?
She's not married; she'd like to be, but she's terrified of having her marriage end the same way her parents' did. I think she could do it, though, if the right guy walked along. Which he did. In book three. But she doesn't know that. So SHHH.
7. What is a cause they would die for?
A good cause? Saving a friend, because she hasn't had many. A bad one? Getting revenge. She's an unstoppable monster where revenge is involved. It could be her undoing.
8. Would they rather die fighting valiantly, or quietly at home?
She'd prefer to die quietly. But she's not afraid of fighting. She's been fighting herself all her life.
9. If someone walked up to them and told them they were the child of the prophecy, would they believe them?
You know what, that's funny, because that actually happened. As I remember it, she fainted. Or laughed. Or both. But she ended up being a pretty good child of the prophecy, if I do say so myself.
10. Do they prefer the country or the city?
The city. She grew up in New York, and she despises the small Virginia town her mom's job took them to. *sigh* I guess she can't be perfect.
Okay, that was fun! Every time I finish one of these, I realize that I need to do them more often =D Try one for yourself--you won't regret it!

Wow, are you guys lucky....
....or not. Well. Instead of working on something to put up on my blog, I spent the last two days taking tests, buying books and devouring "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara (which, by the way, is the inspiration for one of my favorite films on the Civil War). So tonight you get the first chapter of my NaNo 2010 unedited and unfinished novel, Reapers. Oh, joy. This isn't the absolute beginning of the book--there's a prologue, too, but it's slightly new and I was hesitant about posting it. I pretty much loathe this first chapter, but I love Reapers' characters, and hopefully you will, too =)

Reapers: Chapter One
The water buckets were not heavy, but Twink crept along the empty dirt road as if he was walking on graves. He glanced constantly over his shoulder at the well, licking his lips in anticipation. I’ll bet my entire beetle collection that Bross and his thugs are hiding in those bushes. Well, let ‘em come; I’m ready!

First Chapter
'Kay, so I seem to be falling into a very disturbing trend of being sick and forgetting to post on my blog. I'm really sorry ._. It's not like I don't have anything to post--I have a whole PILE of stuff that I'm waiting to have evaluated by other people. Get your act together, me.
Today's (tonight's) post is the first chapter of my pet book (the one that I'm co-authoring with Fozzy/Danielle, and the one that kicked off my writing career six years ago). It has a very complicated plot that I STILL haven't figured out. It also has a prologue, but I feel that I show people the prologue too often, and forget about the first chapter. So you get the first chapter =) I pity you.
I covet your comments. My yearly Writer's Conference (GPCWC) is coming up in August and I'd really like to make some headway this year. Don't be afraid to be blunt--believe me, once you read the chapter, you'll know how much I need bluntness XD
Well, enjoy! I'll try to post again tomorrow--another exercise, perhaps?

Chapter One: Anna
The clock’s running backwards.
Anna Foster watched the minute hand drag along the clock face. She listened with only one ear to Miss Morgan’s lecture and tapped her pencil against her blank notebook. Just two more minutes; two more minutes and you’re out of here. She twisted a strand of hair around one finger before turning her attention back to her teacher.

Pages!
Short post--
Just so you know, I added a "Pages" section on the right-hand side of teh blog (Random Writings). That's probably where I'll be keeping any longer writings that I post. I uploaded one--a theme--and it seems to be working okay. Feel free to comment!! OH! And beware--the contents of the pages are not edited, so your eyes might bleed. I think the latest one is "Hold My Hand."
Signing out!

PS: The dialogue for "Hold My Hand" is in italics; it's suppose to be more of a thought process--hard to explain. I got the idea of italicizing the dialogue from Pippin's short story, "Do You Heard the Violins?" (if you haven't read it, DO. It will heal your brain of any damage done from my story). Soo, for those of you who follow her blog, yes, I am copying =P
