Happy Halloween 2012!!!
Lady Sakura and Lord Syaoran by ~wishluv on deviantART
Octobers tend to be very hectic, and I've been so busy this month. So when I tuned back in and found out all the lovely fanarts/fanfics/etc. projects that readers have posted up at the New Trials Facebook group for my birthday/Halloween I was beyond delighted, inspired, touched and moved... And thanks Amethyst Beloved for coordinating everything. Tears.... Honorable mention goes to Bubulona's Legacy of the Five Forces fanfic. As I mentioned before, I would love to have more time to work on the Legacy arc but New Trials is a priority, and it was such a pleasant surprise to read about the Great Five (since they are OCs after all). But I have not seen so much CCS+New Trials fanart in one Halloween in a long time and check them out~ Or go to the New Trials Fan Projects page: http://thedarkforceguide.weebly.com/
I was feeling rather glum at the prospect of aging another year. Earlier this month, I had the strangest dream. In my dream, I looked down at my left leg, and there was what looked like a tattoo of a huge clock appear. But it wasn't a tattoo but sort of glowing in my skin. I remember it vividly-it was shades of gold with blue accents. I woke up thinking how can a dream be any more blatant. Ah, fleeting time.
I'm working on Chapter 69 and 70 simultaneously at the moment. Each chapter gets harder for me to write as the end draws nearer. It's sad that having a writing job makes it harder for me to spend any time doing creative writing. I think these chapters might be the most challenging to write so far, but I am glad New Trials took so long because I feel ready to tackle the finale.
Overall, it's been a really tough several months for me because of real life factors but today, I am all but filled with gratefulness, awe and wonder at everyone's talents. I thought turning another year older was a gloomy prospect in a sense (stigma of women and their roles in society) but then again, today, I am again filled with the wide-eyed sense of inspiration, aspiration and appreciation for the lovely community that my favorite hobby, writing, has brought me to.
Happy Halloween 2012!!!
Thinking what was a good Halloween song, and decided on Loreena McKennitt's Mummer's Dance, an old-time favorite since Ever After. It was on my randomly playlist when drawing the Victorian Sakura and Syaoran fanart.

Excellent! I was *hoping* for a blog post on Halloween with NT updates. It’s always so amazing to hear from you. Sorry to hear that you had the birthday blues, but you can count on Team New Trials to lift up your spirits! It was my pleasure to be the ringleader of organizing this event. Love that song~ it takes me back! By the way, you posted the old URL to my site: it has evolved into something a lot more and unfortunately I don’t know how to redirect from the old to the new. Can you please change the link to: http://newtrialsfanprojects.weebly.com/updates.html? Thank you!

ReplyDeleteHey there. Wow, another great drawing. I wonder what is happening in the picture. Sakura looks so sad and Syaoran is looking malious. LOL.
These two have been through so much already and they have to go through even more. Hopefully they can make it past all these hardships. They came so far already.
