Author Craft / Demon Name reference guide
« on: April 24, 2008, 07:36:07 PM »
In the middle of writing my book.  I am writing about a person being half angel and half demon.  Yes he does hate himself.  I was having a hard time with names of fallen, and everything.  Luckily I found a site that contains a lot of this.  The more I have dug deeper into both sides however, the scarier it gets.  Archangels are just as freaking scary as the demons themselves.

That was a lot of reading!!  I was intrigued to see that the first line was a hook for some, and others it didn't even phase them.  I guess it depends on the type of book your picking up to read.  Like someone had said, I give it to the first 100 pages, and then go from there.  As always, my opener remains locked up.  ;D

Put a freaking warning in the front of the books.  ;D Something to that would point out all or most of the following:

You will be up reading into the wee hours of the morning.  Work, school, and life as you know it are going to change while you read a new book.

A small un-edited rough edition of the hit on Don Bravatta. 


     My gym bag was packed to the hilt.  Mostly with sandwiches, and snacks.  Hey I didn't know how long I was going to be here.  I moved the cup cakes out of the way, and tossed the slim jims to the same side of the bag.  You ever had one of those moments when you get caught.  Like when your walking around your place naked and someone unexpected walks in and catches you.  Another example.  The roof door opens wide spilling light onto my position, me and all my snack garbage.  From the look I got, even the informant was surprised at how much junk I ate.  After the light hit it, so was I. My cold fingers felt the little nine mm  Uzi in the gym bag.  I just froze feigning the deer in the head lights look.  He really had me dead to rights.  His gun looked like a field cannon aimed at my head, even though it was only a three fifty seven.  The barrel looked like a tunnel along a dark road, abruptly ending at a dead end.  Except if he did shoot me, most likely I would be back with in an hour or two, and just kill him even slower then I had planned.

I have been laughing so hard at that whole situation.  You would think eventually, someone would say, "I don't think she is planning anything boss."  Then leave.  Thumbs up guys, you can follow me to school, parents, and then home to sleep. 

I will post a small part of the story tomorrow.

LOL..well that is the dilemma he faces.  The first few chapters he lights up a few Cardinals, but then grows a conscience.  The god and the bad of being half and half.  I will not give away endings, but lets just say, he chooses a side, and life gets interesting.

If the NSA does show up, I will make them a kick butt honey tea, and give them some muffins!!

HI...I feel like I am at a support group.  My name is________ and I have writers cramp.  Group then says "HI ______" 

I have been writing many many little stories.  Most were one pagers, and some were a few chapters long.  I am now in the process of finishing up chapter 15 in my book.  I know, go figure.  It seems that I enjoy writing about something that is half angel and half demon.  Poor thing wakes up arguing with it's self, and has problems keeping the good guys and the bad guys straight.  Being half and half, he ends up resorting to guns and being a hitman for who ever.  In this one I have him going after the pope.  should strike a chord with a few... ;D

I will not call Ebenezer uncle Jed anymore.

I will not shoot Mister with the paint ball gun filled with holy water. 

I will stop having the apprentice use the disillusionment charm on the pizza guys pizza when it is time to pay.

however, playing kickball with a ghouls head, is still not out of the question.   ;D
