Bored, lonely and off work sick!

It doesn't happen often but when you're off sick and you get a day off you always want to be able to do something practical. I wanted to write something amazing but after feeling so sick for most of the day I opted to veggie out in front of the television. I watched random films, even more random tv shows but more importantly I concluded my One Tree Hill DVD Season 2 and it was as great as I hoped it was but maybe not feeling up to writing was a blessing because it enabled me to watch other characters interacting like Nathan decided to return home to his parents and the moment he does his attitude almost returns to the old Nathan the one pre Haley and its sad because I've always loved Nathan as a character even more so than Lucas because there was so much more too him.

My Brennan character has a tough outer shell that he just can't let go of because he's scared of getting hurt so alot of him anger is aimed towards his love for Kate. Parker on the other hand is 'supposed' to be the perfect boyfriend but it appears very early on that he has weaknesses and it seems that out of losing her two best friends comes her love for Brennan. You know the person you least expect, the guy that comes running at 3am because you've had an arguement with your best friend and he was the first person you thought of. He's that guy!

I want Kate to push Taylor and Parker away. Something along the lines of 'I gave you my blessing it doesn't mean we can be friends!' I think that shows how strong Kate can be and Brennan is the person she confides in along with new girl in town Holly, theres alot of depth to her character. She has a very similar life to Kate, her parents work away alot and she's spent most of her life at boarding school. They instantly bond and Taylor finds this hard but Brennan quickly reminds her that she slept with her boyfriend. Suddenly Holly's little brother Nick comes in and instantly Brennan feels threatened. He comes a younger, smarter kid with a lot of money, who wouldn't be jealous but Kate isn't looking for a relationship just friendship.

The christmas episode is my fave so far. Its kind of a scrooch kind of deal. She's visited by three ghosts. Parker, Brennan and her mother. Its hard for her to hear some of their revelations but it hits home that she can't hide her heart forever. Her future with Parker is amazing, money, career, two kids and dog and two holidays a year but Parker has had countless affairs and when Kate realises that being with Parker came at a price she lost Brennan, she hunts him down to find that he's not the man she knew. He's cruel, heartless and gives Kate some home truths with regard to her relationship with Parker. Her future with Brennan is pretty similar to Parker's but Parker is still in their lives but as things unfold we learn that Kate is having an affair with Parker, Brennan finds out and she looses everything. Her mother appears and shows her the future if she doesn't chose either one and its perfect but Kate's lonely and it becomes apparent when she watches families with children gathering around the christmas tree. Her mother tells her that its Kate's decision and that her future is what she makes of it she wakes up to spend her first christmas with a proper family and later that day Kate and Brennan go for a walk and watch a family riding their bikes. Kate sighs but then thanks Brennan for making her christmas so magical. They share a kiss as it begins to snow (romantic stuff) and bang there starts a new relationship. I'm hoping it will be amazing to write.

I'm Back!

Never let it be said that I give up easily. I've fought off my evil writer's block and I am writing what should be an amazing finale to a great fan fiction story. It's my way of working on my writing ability.

I've been reading more and have two extremely good recommendations

1. Goodnight, Beautiful - Amazing book that will keep you guessing to the very end!
2. The love of her life - Totally capivating story that I just didn't want to put down!

I've started a new story that I am currently taking a breather from for fear of writing dribble. I want to be careful with this one as the story is a passionate love story.

I'm taking a creative writing diploma with the Open University in the new year and I am so excited about it for obvious reasons. I miss learning at a proper university and I'm hoping when my children are a little older to use the diploma as a way into university for my Event's degree. I really want to do it but I want my children to be over the age of 2 years old at least. Not so dependable etc.

I actually enjoy writing in all sense of the word. I like short stories, scripts, fan fiction and novels. I'm not too bothered about being published but one day it would be nice to actually have an article in a magazine or something!
