Writing: The Beginning of All That

I’ve been working very hard on The Copper Promise lately (no, really, stop laughing), typing away until my fingers are nothing more than shiny little nubbins, so consequently I haven’t come up with any interesting blog ideas lately. So in lieu of something good, I thought I would do one of those self indulgent posts about how I started writing.

I’ve always loved stories, of course. When I was very wee, I asked for a desk for Christmas, and the year after that I wanted a typewriter (gods, I have always loved having a desk). I wrote lots as a child and then tons at school, and then it tapered off somewhat and I got distracted by art college, with its poshery and paint and dodgy vodka in the union bar. I started writing seriously, I suppose you could say, on one random day in my early twenties.

I came home from work in a bad mood. This was back when I worked for a certain bookshop, and I know some people will say: “You worked in a bookshop! How could you possibly have had a bad day? You whinging numpty.” – believe me, it is possible to have a bad day, particularly when you’ve heard a lot of “Have you got that book? It was on that table last month and I can’t remember what it was called or who it was by. Don’t you know any of the books?” This happens more than you would believe… But, anyway, I was cheesed off, and I decided, in a desperate act of therapy, that I would sit down and write a scene that had been stuck in my head for some months. It involved a girl becoming a witch via a really rather nasty and brutal ritual, and once I’d written that I found that, a) I felt better, and b) I wanted to know how the girl came to be in that situation in the first place. Those were the seeds that became the book Bad Apple Bone (still the best title I’ve ever come up with, I think) and over the course of a couple of years, writing in fits and starts, I eventually finished it.

This was a big deal for me. I’d thought about writing books before, but I’d always considered it beyond my abilities – I wrote short stories, picture books, and essays, but not books. But I’d started one and finished it, which proved that actually, I did have the attention span for these things. After that I got involved in NaNoWriMo, where I wrote a short children’s book called Bird and Tower, and the next year I started writing a much longer book called Ink for Thieves… Somewhere along the way I realised two things; that writing books made me happy, and that I couldn’t stop. In fact, writing seemed to satisfy two very basic needs of my personality; the need to make things, and the need to control everything (Yes, writing is a control freak’s dream: “You will all do as I say! Dance my puppets, dance!).

And that’s how I came to be writing a sword and sorcery serial that’s getting longer and more complicated by the minute… I look back at the years when I wasn’t writing books and I worry that I lost time there, that I should have been working on it ever since I got my first typewriter and that little desk with all the stickers on it. But the important thing is, I got there in the end. And art college does get you access to some really cool libraries.

Post-its and Planning

So I completely forgot to update last week. I can’t even remember why now, but let’s just pretend it was due to a flurry of productivity on my part, and not just huge laziness, which is more likely but less heroic.

The Steel Walk is edging towards 100,000 words now and alarmingly enough, shows no particular signs of being near the end. At least I am well into the third act and having fun with the story; Eri is angrily traipsing through the swamps of the Green Jenny Council while evil things are afoot in all corners of Ferrum, and Saul has some difficult choices to make. I may even have some clue as to how the whole thing ends.

Writing The Steel Walk has been an education in the process of how to put a book together, although I’m not sure I’m any closer to figuring out the best way of doing it. So far each book has been approached differently, and I have learnt different lessons.

Bad Apple Bone- Started writing it before I even knew it was a book, and consequently I only had a vague idea of the plot by around the 30,000 words mark. An exciting if agonising way to put a novel together, it did however all fall together with surprising neatness. I’m sure this was a fluke, and unlikely to ever be repeated.

Bird and Tower- When I started this one for NaNoWriMo, I was very clear on the beginning and the end, and had a vague structure for the middle (“Quint searches for other siblings, hijinks ensue”) but what with the fabulous by-the-seat-of-your-leg-hats* approach of NaNo, if I did any more planning than that I don’t remember it. A joy to write, quite honestly, even if I kept forgetting one of the characters existed.

A Boy of Blood and Clay- A lesson in how it is wise to have, you know, even the slightest clue of how the plot will develop and who your characters are. Not sure what I was thinking with this one (I still believe that when it’s finished, it might be the best thing I’ve written)

Ink for Thieves- This book was a return to a vague plot outline and detailed character notes, and thanks again to the backside-wallop of NaNo, largely quite fun to write. It had it’s moments of “I have shamed myself and my ancestors with this book” but the characters came to life for me and behaved in naughty ways, the plot headache of the Embers resolved itself and I got to the end of it. After A Boy of Blood and Clay, that was a big relief.

So, what have I learnt? Mostly, that no planning is bad, except when it works, and over planning is good, except where it doesn’t. Does that make sense? I had detailed character notes for Eri and Saul before I started The Steel Walk, but they still went merrily ahead and behaved in all sorts of unexpected ways anyway, and Alice, a character who barely existed at the planning stage, has come to impact on the plot in all sorts of drastic ways.

The next, as yet unnamed project, is a sort-of-science-fiction first person narrative with strong crime elements (and a girl called Zootsi) so I think I have no choice; planning will be done, notes will be made, and post-its will be wasted, until I can go into NaNoWriMo this year knowing that I just have to fill in the fun bits. I may restrain myself from drawing a map though.

By the pricking of my thumbs

I realised an odd thing today. I identify with the witch.

Or at least, I am drawn to witches more often than almost anything else (aside from possibly, uh, child sacrifice). I was reading a short story by George R.R Martin called In the Lost Lands, a lovely thing concerning werewolves and a woman who, although she is never named as such, is almost certainly a witch of a sort. It occurred to me that I liked it especially because Grey Alys was written with sympathy, and not entirely as a dirty ol’ monster.

When I think about it, I come back to witches again and again in all of my work. Bad Apple Bone is the most obvious example, as it concerns a great many witches, some of whom are bad, some of whom are good, and some, in the case of Noon, who are just tremendously lazy. Even if I don’t have a witch by name in my story, I will undoubtedly have a crazy old woman who is more than she appears to be, such as Moony Sue in A Boy of Blood and Clay, a woman who is possibly an elderly wise woman and just as possibly the River Thames. Bird and Tower, and Ink for Thieves both have examples, and in The Steel Walk I have returned to big ol’ groups of proper witches, with the Green Jenny Council- and there’s not a single good apple amongst that lot.

None of this was deliberate, so where has it come from? When I was a kid I was a big fan of the more gruesome fairytales, and most of those involved witches (Hansel and Gretel- when you really think about it, how deeply fucked up is that story? Love it). When it came to Disney films, I was always vaguely on the witchy side, and who can blame me? We had Marvellous Madam Mim, Ursula, Maleficent and the scary old bag from Snow White, all of whom were more interesting than the supposed heroes and heroines of the movies. And the Wicked Witch of the West had flying monkeys at her disposal! That’s pretty cool, if you ask me.

And when I went to college I spent a lot of time reading about folklore and fairy tales, even writing essays on it- I might have many issues with my time at art college, but I can’t complain about the freedom of the course; you could write about anything you wanted to, as long as you did it reasonably well. My dissertation was even about witches, in a way; I wrote about the evil mother figure that features as the enemy in so many stories, such as Coraline’s Other Mother, or Yubaba from Spirited away. That research was enormous fun.

But the biggest influence has to be, without a shadow of a doubt, the marvelous witches of the Discworld. I loved the witches novels the best I think, because it was always Pratchett writing at his best; about the conventions of folklore, and the strange and unfathomable ways of people. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg were instantly deeply familiar to me, through my own Nan, through my aunts, various school teachers and even the dinner lady everyone was scared of- I knew these ladies, and they both scared me and made me laugh. They may seem like odd examples, given the dark nature of many of my own witches (Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg might have been fearsome, but they usually had your best interests at heart) but I believe that Pratchett’s witches showed me that witches were also people; capable of being good and bad, and therefore more realistic. And through that they became the characters I would be most excited to write about.

Go on, tell me. Which is your favourite witch?

The Joy of Big Fat Books

I’m feeling vaguely accomplished today for two reasons, and as this doesn’t happen very often I will dwell on it a bit (I think it was Alan Bennett who once said something about how writers never feel like writers unless they’re physically writing; the rest of the time they feel like frauds).

I have the first draft of Bad Apple Bone sitting in front of me, in glorious chunky paper form. It’s the first time I’ve seen it printed out, and it looks ginormous. It’s lovely, to feel the heft of it, to see all those words collected together in one place, and to flick through to read random bits; grimacing at some, laughing at others. There will be lots of problems with it, because I started writing the book without any idea what I was doing, or indeed any idea I was writing a book, and no doubt I’ll have made lots of terrible, first-time-writer mistakes, but I think I’m going to enjoying reading it again nonetheless.

Secondly, after four mouths and a scattering of days, I have finished the rough draft of Ink for Thieves. I struggled over the line at the weekend, so toasts were made and Snoopy dances were danced, and I saw my characters off into the sunset with a tear in my eye.
It’s been an interesting experience, this one. It started as a novella for NaNoWriMo, but grew quickly into a larger book within the first week of writing, and I realised this one had a bigger story to tell. Coming just after a bit of a cock up with A Boy of Blood and Clay, which fatally stalled at 63,000 words, it was a relief to know I could still do big stories. Around about halfway through a minor tangent turned into a major story arc, and by and large, Ink for Thieves was a joy to write. It certainly had it’s difficult moments, particularly when I realised I was three quarters of the way through and still had no real idea how the Big Bad was going to be resolved, or getting too bogged down in the detail of a city that only appeared in the first chapter, but for the most part I had a lot of fun. The characters really did have a life of their own this time round, and I was amazed (and slightly annoyed) that I could not put any of them in a situation together without there being a blazing argument; their actions often surprised me, and showed me parts of the story I hadn’t been aware of. Following where the characters lead has been an interesting journey, almost as interesting as Guido’s dangerous and frantic journey across the Embers.

It’s that time of year again…

Oh 2009, how shall we judge you?

Annoyingly, I am something of an optimist and normally reluctant to judge a year based on perhaps the last six months or so; if that were not the case, I would merrily tell 2009 to take a running jump off a prickly cliff. But I’m always looking for the silver lining in the dark clouds (or the smarties in the dog turd) so I shy away from condemning it completely. It’s time to look, perhaps, at what I hoped to do in 2009 and what I actually did, as awkward and slightly embarrassing as it may be:

By the end of this year I wanted to have finished Bad Apple Bone, written an entirely new novel, and a novella during November (which would also be finished).

What I actually did: Well, I did finish Bad Apple Bone (when was that? May? I think it may even have been on Star Wars day…), which was a major achievement I suppose, after two years writing the bugger. It was my first book, and my first real attempt at writing anything, and remains the truest thing I have written, I think.

I did start writing an entirely new book, A Boy of Blood and Clay, and even got 61,000 words into it, but made the rather silly error of mistaking research for planning, and found myself halfway through the book with only the slightest inkling of what was happening. Plus, I really loathed one of the main characters, and wanted to kill her off. Except she was already dead. Oh.
So that book remains at rest currently, “composting” as my favourite art tutor would put it. And the NaNoWriMo novella? Well that little bugger turned into an actual full length book, full of dirt and ooze and I’m-Not-Even-Sure-What-Happens-Next mystery, which made it brilliant fun to write, even as it grows in scope by the minute and I have no chance of finishing it this year.

In conclusion then, I have one finished novel, and two unfinished full length books; not exactly where I wanted to be, but, I have to look the bright side (or the Skittles in the dog plop); this year I have written, not including finishing Bad Apple Bone or any short stories that popped into existence, around 120,000 words. And I can’t really complain about that.

2010 will be the year I learn to give up my time properly to this fabulous craft, and start treating it like I really intend other people to read it some day. This year is The Year of Writing Dangerously.

The First Week of November

…has sort of zipped by, don’t you think?

It’s one of the weird things about NaNoWriMo; it makes November both the longest and shortest month of the year. On the one hand I’ve still got a ridiculously large number of words to squeeze out of my head, but on the other it feel like only yesterday that I was tidying up my writing space for the kick off. A quick run down of how things are going:

Heating fail. In a great example of the fabulous timing of Sod’s Law, our central heating packed up at the beginning of the week, leaving us slowing freezing in our drafty old victorian terrace. It’s amazing really how depressing it can get, being cold all day. I survived by buying new hot waterbottles and keeping mine tucked down the front of my dressing gown while I typed. On Friday, the Boiler Magicians came and sorted it out.

Word count win! So far this year, the writing has been fun, and it has been reflected in my word count. As of tonight I’m at 17,222 words, approximately two days ahead of where I need to be. This is good because this upcoming week contains at least two days when I suspect getting anything done will be difficult.

I’m enjoying the story and I’m beginning to wonder if this is a full length book rather than a novella. :s It’s always difficult to decide this; ideally, I’d like to have finished this story by the end of the month, so I can get on with a) finishing A Boy of Blood and Clay, b) editing Bad Apple Bone or the rogue c) option, starting another book. 😉 But if I’m really getting somewhere with the story, perhaps I should consider continuing into December. Hmm, it’s all about the pacing…

I have been surprised by the cynicism of some people. It’s not a huge deal, as most people seem to “get” NaNoWriMo and what it’s all about, but there does seem to be a little flicker among some who seem to think it’s a bit silly and deserves a bit of mockery. My initial response to such people would be “Come back and take the piss when you’ve written a book in 30 days, dude. Or anything longer than your facebook status update”. But I have been good, and ignored any such comments. It’s my folly and I love it.

And that’s where I am at the moment. :) Guido Foss has made it to the Flats, and is about to find out just how unpleasant life can be out in the desert. I shall enjoy making it difficult for her.

Where I am now…

I am better than I was.

As some of you might know, I’ve had a shitty few months. Ongoing problems with a tooth, a chest infection that may or may not have been swine flu, an unusable bathroom for weeks, and very sadly my Nan passed away.

I suppose that sometimes strife doesn’t line up in an orderly queue, sometimes it just shouts “BUNDLE!” and lets rip. The good news is, I feel like I have, to some extent, come out of the other side now. Although my chest is still a little weak and I have a very sensitive gag reflex now, I’m over the mystery flu. We now have a bathroom with an actual door and sink (you don’t realise how important a toilet door is until you don’t have one for weeks). We’ve had my Nan’s funeral, which was as difficult and painful as you would expect, and there will be more pain to come as the house where I grew up in is emptied of all the things that made it home, and is sold; but you take the memories that you can and you soldier on, always the walking wounded.

The tooth that was lingering on has been removed. Hoo-fucking-ray! The horrible thing about that was the waiting for the appointment; even when I was feeling myself again, and relatively happy, always at the back of my mind was the tooth problem, sucking away any ability to relax. Now it’s sorted, it is genuinely like a black cloud has stopped hanging over my head, and has gone off to bother Charlie Brown or Calvin or someone.

So I am better than I was. :) A side effect of the crap of the last few months has been that my writing has taken a serious knock. I can’t concentrate when I’m anxious, and a number of problems with A Boy of Blood and Clay that I had been trying to write around suddenly became insurmountable, and I lost my way with the book. Shitsticks. I forced myself to write for a while, and stopped again when I realised I was hating it, hating the characters, and hating the story. The problem is longwinded, but the short version is this; with Bad Apple Bone, I had the main character in my head for some time, years even, before I started writing. I might not have known the plot, but I had a good idea of what Noon was like. With A Boy of Blood and Clay, I did the briefest of outlines and character sketches, and then threw myself into it, assuming I’d be able to make it up as I went; after all, it had worked with the last book.

It turns out, that was a slightly silly idea.

So I’ve put A Boy of Blood and Clay to one side for a while. I don’t know the characters well enough, and it needs a hell of a lot more research before I can get the story into the shape I wanted in the first place. I’ll come back to it (if only because I’ve written 63,000 words of the bugger already!) and Mike and Faye and Gushel and the terrible Eustace Cream will certainly get an end to their stories one day.

In other news, NaNoWriMo is two weeks away! I had a great time last year writing Bird and Tower, and I can’t wait to do it all again- this time with more planning and research, obviously. 😉 More about that on the next blog post.

Bird and Tower

A brief one, since I have remembered that I’ve yet to talk about the novella I wrote for last years NaNoWriMo.

Bird and Tower (I hate the title, and have yet to think of a better one) is almost a Young Adult book I think, in that the main characters are young people. I didn’t conceive of it as such, but writing about teenagers, and in particular, a naive, optimistic kid gave the book a lightness and mood that is very different to Bad Apple Bone. Having said that, it has it’s dark and bloody parts, and I would have to investigate how much violence you’re allowed in a YA novel before I really start calling it that…

Written in the frantic time frame of Nano, it has obvious pacing issues and a couple of moments where one character will drop off the page for a bit and reappear later on (not used to handling so many main characters at once!) but all in all I enjoyed writing it, and it surprised me by making me cry at the end. I would love, ideally, to write a sequel as I would dearly like to know what happens next to Quint, Aksu and Acolyte Jones, but that’s in the far future I think…

Anyway. Here’s a very brief and wonky synopsis I’ve knocked up to give you an idea of what it’s all about. :)

Quint has spent all sixteen years of his life inside the Tower and has never once ventured out into the sprawling city of Ternestrad. This has never worried him particularly; the man who acts as his father, Dr Phiestus, has always taken good care of him, and the many mechanical Croids that keep the Tower spick and span provide a company of sorts.
However, one night Dr Phiestus leaves the Tower and does not come back, and when Quint accidently hatches an egg in the doctor’s storeroom, he realises that it’s time for him to leave the Tower and head out into the world. With the help of a thief, a runaway monk and a creature from another age, Quint must solve the mystery of his own birth and discover the legacy that waits for him beneath the city of Ternestrad.

A Boy of Blood and Clay?

A small update, because I’ve left it far too late this evening and after a couple of glasses of wine I’m a wee bit sleepy, but it’s been a while and there has been some progress.

I’ve hit the 10,000 word mark on the new project, which is, well, not that much really. If I was sticking to my NaNoWriMo schedule I’d be way ahead, but at least I’ve been adding words every day, which I believe is more important than the overall wordcount. I find that as soon as I have a few days off, getting back into the book is a harder and slower process than it needs to be. So if I only do a few hundred words one day, it’s not a disaster because at least I’m still thinking about it and forming the story.

I’m currently working on chapters 3 and 4. These first few chapters are largely about introducing the characters and the situation, and not too much about setting the scene; because both Bad Apple Bone and Bird and Tower were set in entirely fantasy worlds, I had to spend a large amount of time sketching out the world the story inhabited, but as the new project is set in London, this is not so much of an issue. That’s not to say I’m not bothering with “building the world”, because I love this city and it’s lots of fun to write about.

One thing I am having difficulty with is the title. I know it’s not essential to have one in place at this stage, and certainly Bad Apple Bone was a good number of words in before the title came, but it is irritating. “The Odd” was originally chosen because I had a vague idea to base the journey of the main character on the Odyssey, but that idea has been pushed aside a little in favour of less wanky ideas. I still half like it as a title because it refers to the odd nature of the story, but… I dunno. My only other reasonable idea has been “A Boy of Blood and Clay”, which is appropriate, but possibly a little long.

So what do you all think? Stick with The Odd for now, or give A Boy of Blood and Clay a try?

The Great Big New Pain in the Arse

Far too long without an update- naughty sen, to your bed.

The last week or so has been quite a difficult one writing-wise. When I sat down to start on the new project I was immediately met with a big fat problem, namely, whether or not to write it in the first person. While I was finishing Bad Apple Bone and this project was beginning to form in my mind, I always imagined it to be in the first person. I wanted to try writing an entire book in that style, mainly because when I’ve done it in short stories I’ve found it quite enjoyable, and a couple of my favourite writers almost always write in the first person- namely John Connolly and Michael Marshall Smith.

So when it came to the first day of writing, I sat down all ready with my character’s voice and the opening scene and… I completely dried up. It felt terribly forced and awkward, and I didn’t like it. Mostly, the character just sounded like me. Like me writing a book. This was not what I had planned at all, and even worse, my brain was already re-writing the chapter in the third person. I was crippled with indecision- should I soldier on with my original plan, despite how wrong it felt, or abandon most of my plans for the book and keep to my usual style?

In the end, I did the only sensible thing and wrote the chapter in both the first and third, to see how they compared (this was, by the way, an incredibly painful thing in itself. I am really fucking lazy you see, and writing the same bit twice drove me up the wall). I couldn’t help noticing how much easier the words came though, and how much more enjoyable it was the second time around.

So I think I’ve learnt some things from this:

1) You can’t pick a style of writing just because you like the sound of it and because you admire people who do it well- it may simply be inappropriate for the project.

2) I’ve spent two years on Bad Apple Bone essentially learning how to write (successfully or not I cannot say) and that was in the third person. Perhaps I should use what I’ve learnt, and carry on improving as much as I can.

3) There will be another time for a big first person story. Yes there will. Possibly in one huge mad rush in November.

I’m on to the second chapter now, the characters are getting to talk to each other and I’m finding out strange things about them. There are lots of juicy bits about it that I love, I just need the framework to make itself a little more obvious, and it’s still being difficult and fairly unpredictable (I only realised fairly recently that it all makes a lot more sense if one of the main characters is dead) Not to mention that the sodding thing doesn’t have a sodding title!

But I think I’m getting there. Chapter 3 is in my sights.

How to Become a DJ and Be Famous

Becoming A DJ

People that have been to clubs may really enjoy the atmosphere and the DJ that is providing the tunes.  Some individuals are even inspired to do this themselves.  This may lead them to a search on how to become a DJ.

Find Your Environment

The first thing that you really have to do is find your environment.  You have to decide if you are interested in rock, pop, techno or R&B venues.  You may choose to do all of the above, but you have some focus on your audience.  Anyone that wants to know learn how to become a DJ has to first know how to move your potential crowd.

Get Some Equipment

Don’t go overboard, but you will need to obtain some basic equipment to get started.  This includes headphones, a mixer and turntables.  You may actually substitute the turntables with CD players or a laptop with audio mixing software.  It really just depends on the format of your music collection.

Collect Some Music

The average person has a collection of their favorite albums.  This is great for individual listening, but it’s hardly enough to entertain a collective crowd of people.  Do yourself a favor and check out the Billboard or iTunes.  Check out what is hot right now and buy it.

It’s also good to simply have an ear for the classics as well.  You may want to mix things up with classic cuts in between some of the newer songs.  You have to be diverse even if you only stick to one music genre.  You still need an extensive collection.  You music collection will be your primary method to getting your new DJ career off the ground.  A DJ has to be able to switch things up if the crowd isn’t feeling the music.  You can’t do this unless you have an extensive music collection.

Make a Mix and Listen to It

Don’t just assume that you have skills without putting them to the test.  You may have a great ear for music, but a lot changes when you are put under pressure to keep things moving.  A DJ can’t just live in the moment with the audience.  They have to think three and four songs ahead of the crowd.  Anyone that wants to know about becoming a DJ will need to be mindful of the continuous mix.  They need to be able to blend songs together effortlessly.  The big thing in today’s world of mixing is the mash up.  A DJ needs to have to ability to take songs and blend them with instrumentals from other popular songs.  This takes practice.

Learn the Craft

You may be a natural at this.  Your mix may be a magical compilation of some of the best music on the planet. This is possible.  It is more likely, however, that you will need to develop your skills.  Get on line and watch videos.  Go to clubs and simply listen to the way the DJ keeps the crowd’s attention.

Miranda Lambert's Wedding and Reception Dress

Miranda Lambert wore her "something old" during her ceremony earlier this month when she married fellow country star, Blake Shelton. She paired custom Casadei cowboy boots and a fabulous, flirty headpiece with her mother's slim,and flowy spaghetti strapped ivory silk gown.

"My parents have been married for 33 years, so this dress is already a good-luck charm," the bride tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now).

In true celebrity fashion, the bride changed into Priscilla of Boston's "Drew" from the Vineyard collection for the reception. The ivory, short strapless has vertical bodice seaming and a draped bust line finished off with a super fun tulle hem. Perfect for a "boot scooting boogie" or two.

Paired with chunkier jewelry and the same headpiece, Miranda took her soft, romantic bridal ceremony style to a swingy, flirty reception feel with a simple wardrobe change.

Here are some other options for a second look for either the reception gown or a get-a-way dress. There are an array of styles and fabrics to choose from within all price points.

WTOO's "Krya" is super light, airy and oh, so flattering!

Liz Fields style 9103 could not be more adorable with it's vintage feel and sexy, floral bodice top. Lovely!

Miranda Lambert Fan said...

I love both of her dresses! I like the idea of changing into something a little more fun and functional for the reception.

Marital Rape Of A Man

With dreams of Happy life
got married and brought home his wife
with zillion thoughts he entered his room
only to find his bride sound asleep
was touched to see how at ease she felt
thought himself proud to be called her husband...

morning he woke and got tea ready
waiting anxiously for his bride to see
and appreciate his efforts for her
got a shock when she came grumbling
why was she forced to get awake when
it was only nine in the morning...

In the evening he took her for a stroll
she made sure to push and make him fall
with a look of satisfaction
she laughed like a cunning witch
he took it light and brought her a cute gift
which was thrown away in a quick swift...

he felt his dreams shattering away
the next moment her sensuous kisses
made him forget all around him
hand in hand they returned home
uneasy feeling melt in the heat
everything was calm and sweet...

what more a man would want
then to see his bride respect his Mom
when everything seemed to be sailing smooth
whirlwind came and wrecked his life
weird change was seen in his wife
in the form of a tight slap in front of all...

He could see stars shine in the day
her fingers imprinted on his cheek
then for the next two days..
suddenly mother was cursed for everything
for not cooking, cleaning and all sort of things...

In a jiff she called her mother
and filed a case against him.
he was awestruck to see the change of things
and being pulled to jail for marrying
loving and caring for her...

Is it not 'Marital Rape of a man'
where Love,
Patience and
are crushed.

  1. I didn't expect the story to go that direction. Very different.

    1. Well cleemckenzie sometimes stories do have a twisted end.. though it is entirely different that these kind of cases are quiet common these days.

  2. An interesting poem. What a shame. Thanks for sharing. Cher'ley from Writing Wranglers and Warriors. We're part of the A to Z Challenge

    1. Thanks a lot Cher'ley.. Yes indeed it is a shame but partly truth too.. nad truth is ugly most of the times that is why people do not like it much :)

  3. Very Emotional poem Deepti, I wasn't expecting to read it, and never thought about a marriage from that angle before. Well done.

Fiscal Responsibility Requires Higher Taxes -

Fiscal Responsibility Requires Higher Taxes -

At some point, taxes have to be back on the table as the price that must be paid for profligate spending. Only then will the American people realize that they can't have their cake and eat it too, as Republicans have preached for the last decade. Only when the American people go back to believing that spending must be paid for will they stop demanding something for nothing and put the country back on the path to fiscal sanity.

I rarely agree with Bartlett, but thanks to him, and it should be obvious to all that cutting taxes for a few already-wealthy people during a deficit situation and passing the Medicare drug benefit without a means to pay for it - both simply to curry votes - were not conservative and just about the worst things that government could do for the economy. Yes, smash the tax code and rebuild it so corporations actually pay tax - a reasonable one, and rebuild it so everyone has the chance to benefit from itemized deductions - not just the already-wealthy.

This won't happen until we abolish the notion of corporate personhood, and stop deluding ourselves to believe that money is speech.

What am I doing about it? - A work study revisited

While on the shuttle bus home today, a student took issue with my recent letter from the editor (posted as a blog here on 25 April 2006). In the letter I decried the lack of opportunities given to somebody with a mental handicap. Rhetorically, I asked if anyone had “taken the time to teach him to play the piano, to write a story?” This student returned the question to me saying that I had done nothing but point a finger.

For exactly two seconds I was at a loss for words (a rare thing, according to those who know me). And then, I shifted the discussion and said nothing because what I wanted to say would have been an impolite challenge, too short for a three minute bus ride.

So, here’s my response now:

Taking a stand and exposing a problem is never easy. If it was, civil rights workers in the South would not have been killed. People would have reacted to Hitler’s extermination policies quicker, and the press would not have let Scott McClellan get away with the obvious lies and half-truths that he did.

Taking a stand and exposing a problem is never easy. Taking a stand is the first action in taking a step. Getting up and out of the comfortable zone of “minding one’s own business” requires fighting against emotional inertia. Some people will never do this once in their lives.

Taking a stand and exposing a problem is never easy. If it was, then journalists would not be killed while in pursuit of a question that humanity has been asking for at least 2,000 years: What is Truth?

Taking a stand and exposing a problem is never easy. And making it more difficult is the realization that it is not my job as his coworker to take a stand for this person. It is the job of his family and friends, his community. It is my job as a journalist to report on the problem - to bring it to the public attention. The only concession I can make to his humanity through my relationship with him is to allow him the space to pick up the tool he chooses.

What am I doing? I’m doing what little bit to evoke change that I can humanly do.

Am I just pointing a finger with out actually taking an action? No more so than any other person who has stood up to say “this isn’t acceptable.” Is my letter from the editor all that I could do? No, but it’s all that I care for the public to know about what I’m doing – what I do in my personal life is not for the world to examine and not for anybody to ask me to justify.

Now I return the question: What are you doing, aside from complaining?

Winter Snow Sports are Here!

Snowy Forest. Photo: Ben Larson
Snowy Forest. Photo: Ben Larson

The winter sports season has begun on the Kenai Peninsula and in Girdwood. Snow cover in many areas remains light, but Alaskans are still getting out into the Chugach National Forest.

Alyeska Resort opened officially on Thanksgiving weekend. Ted’s Express and the Bear Cub Quad (Chair 3 and Chair 4) were open Thursday through Sunday. The Magic Carpet opened in the middle of the holiday weekend. Terrain open on the mountain was limited. Skiers could take a direct route down the mountain, but most side trails were closed. The resort announced a total closure from Monday Nov 28 through Thursday Nov 31. During the closure, staff will focus their efforts on building up the trails for next weekend.

The good news at Alyeska is that cold temperatures have enabled continuous 24 hour snowmaking. Cold temperatures are expected to continue through the week. There is also a chance of natural snow next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. There was snow in the forecast for November 26 and 27, but it largely missed the Resort. Everyone is hopeful for snow this week that hits the resort head-on.

According to Alyeska Marketing Director Eric Fullerton, there is snow on the upper and lower mountain, but the mid mountain experienced melting during a recent inversion. The Resort will be able to open more terrain if they can create more connections between the top and the bottom of the mountain. The most focused snowmaking effort is currently on the mid mountain.

When the resort re-opens next Friday, more terrain should be open. Staff can not predict exactly what will be open until close to Friday morning. The Alyeska snow report recorded hotline at (907) 754-7669 (SKI SNOW) gives daily mountain snow and trail status reports.

Several cross country ski trails in the Seward and Cooper Landing area including the Crescent Lake trail are skiable. Cover in many areas remains thin. Grooming began at Russian River over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Wilderness ice skating is a great consolation for spotty snow coverage. The Thanksgiving holiday brought many families out for a skate. Anchorage’s Potter Marsh, the wetlands all along the Seward Highway, and many Kenai Peninsula lakes currently have hard, smooth ice in great shape for skating.

Backcountry skiers and snowboarders wait all summer for ski season to start. Riders started braving short days and cold temperatures to hike up the hills on the Kenai Peninsula shortly before Thanksgiving. Hikers have been rewarded with fine, cold powder. However, there are still exposed rocks in many popular lines and persistent avalanche danger has limited the terrain skiers can access safely. Most riders have minimized their risk with conservative terrain choices.

Frost Crystals Destabilize Snow
Frost Crystals Destabilize Snow

The snowpack safety is determined in part by how well layers of snow from different weather events are stuck together, or “bonded.” The beautiful ice crystals that form on dry, cold days do not bond well to the snow above or below them, creating a weak layer. A layer of frost crystals built up in mid-November during a cold, clear period. Skiers and snowboarders triggered avalanches throughout popular backcountry sites during the past two weeks because the weak layer could not support the strain of their activity. Glide cracks and other very scary snow features are prominent throughout Turnagain Pass and the Summit Lake area. Fortunately, no one has been hurt so far.

No one should ski or snowboard in the backcountry without training as to how to recognize and avoid avalanche danger. A beacon, shovel, and probe are considered the absolute minimum safety equipment in addition to training. These tools are not effective if you do not know how to use them, and they do not guarantee an avalanche burial victim will survive.

Snow machining throughout the Chugach National Forest remains closed due to insufficient coverage.

Alaska’s dedicated snow sports enthusiasts are all hoping for a few more storms and a long, safe, and fun-filled winter sports season!

A guy finally sets up a relationship with a girl he knew from school. She had always been a tease but he eventually uses her skills to attract other men. The outcome is not what he expected.

I had often wondered when you hear of couples doing all sort of depraved sexual things together or with others, how they ever get to the point that they both know what they want and both enjoy doing it. I mean you hardly take a girl out on a date and say “Ever fancy being gang-banged?”

I assumed that it evolves out of wanting more excitement, and one partner egging the other on and then once they do something, say dogging, they want more. Then one thing leads to another and before long they are in a swingers club and she is being gang banged.

The truth is, of course, that boyfriend or husband is usually the one fantasising about it with no hope whatsoever of it ever becoming a reality. Many of the husbands and boyfriends reading this right now will identify with this.

Well I was one of those husbands but the beginning of the slide into depravity was more innocent.

Debbie was attractive at school and she knew it. She was what we boys called a “prick teaser.” Debbie thought nothing of pushing the school regulation skirt length higher and higher until head teacher was impelled to warn her. I think they enjoyed seeing her “performances” and only interjected when it became too obvious that her skirts were becoming pelmets.

Funnily Debbie was just a prick teaser and not a slut. She wasn’t giving out. There was a exhibitionist in her and she would push her exposure to the boys quite far. Happy to let her little panties be seen when she bent down in the school yard, happy that her pert nipples were clearly showing through her tight blouse on a hot day.

Debbie was also good at exams. She wasn’t that clever but had a great memory and so after school I found us both a university together. By that time I had already known her three years or so but not really to talk to. I had just passed the time of day and that’s about it.

By now I was a pretty regular 18 year old. Slim but not skinny and tall but not high. I did some swimming and my hair, affected by chlorine over the years was a wiry blonde with curls. I had some freckles and a surprising bush of red pubes and light chest hair which looked odd when I was naked. I joined a drama club and there was Debbie, showing off on stage.

She just loved the lead, especially a romantic lead and was always happy to peel off her clothes in aid of the plot. Never naked mind you, just tantalising with a peek here and there.

Debbie was quite curvy and, like me, a blonde. Her longish hair almost reached her shoulders and she kept flicking it back rather sexily when she spoke. Her breasts looked bigger than they actually were, something about 36″ but they just seemed huge on her frame. Her bottom was not the usual pear shape and was much more pert and almost boyish.

I was dreaming about here when I realised she was right in front of me.

“We know each other don’t we?” she said. “Sam isn’t it?”

Her hand was out and I shook it.

“Yes it is.”

“What did you think of my speech?”

She had been playing the part of some Cleopatra-type ancient queen. I, of course, was just a guard.

“I don’t know how you remember all the words,” I said.

“Neither do I. I just seem to have a good memory for these things. Fancy going for coffee afterwards?”

Did I ever!!

That was it. After ignoring each other for 3 or 4 years, we hit it off like a house on fire and within 3 months, we were an item. Still no sex though, just an item.

The times I called to her shared flat to find her padding around in underwear. When you consider how much she exposed, she never did show the parts I really wanted to see. I got to serious kissing but that was it.

Well it took 6 months and one night after we had been to the movies and we had her flat to ourselves she just said, “I think we should sleep together!”

The big surprise was that she was a virgin. A 19 year old virgin. The sex was good. I was horny and it was a great occasion but I need to be honest in that as a participating sport it was great but it wouldn’t have been much of a spectator sport. We kissed, we stripped we had some preamble then 30 minutes later, I had fucked her and we had both cum. I think it was probably the sort of sex many couples out there can identify with. It was good, we reached where we wanted to be but it was vanilla!

Right, so that’s the story painted and I need to move on to something a little raunchier now or I’m going to lose my reader aren’t I?

The following year we managed a small flat together and the simple sex continued. Debbie still dressed sexily, and still flaunted but I now knew there was nothing in it, she just liked to show herself off. Somewhere about half way through the year, we were out one night and I went to the bar, leaving Debbie at the table. The place was packed and it took about 15 minutes to get the drinks. When I headed back Debbie was being chatted to by a guy of about 24 who looked like a workman, cleaned up for a night out. She was enjoying the attention and I could see him looking at her erect nipples which clearly showed through her top.

I stood still, part hidden by the crowd and realised I was finding it erotic. Debbie was doing nothing wrong. The guy had talked to her and she in her effervescent way was chatting back. His intentions were more single minded than hers, I’m sure but I felt a surge of blood to my cock.

I quickly walked over and laid the drinks down.

“Thanks Sam,” said Debbie, “Ralph here was just telling me all about his job.”

The guy looked at me with a puzzled expression. He obviously though she was alone. I stayed cheery and upbeat and said a brief “Hi.”

“Sam’s my boyfriend,” she said innocently and Ralph’s disappointment was obvious.

He didn’t stay long.

I chatted to Debbie about it. “I think he thought he was on to a winner and was going to get in your pants.”

“Don’t be dirty,” said Debbie but I could see the penny had dropped and she realised she had been leading him on unknowingly.

My next solo wank fantasised about what could have happened and I came with a force I hadn’t experienced for some time.

The second time it happened was almost the same. We were at a fancy dress party and I had gone as Batman. Debbie being Debbie was a milkmaid complete with the little short skirt and chequered blouse, fake freckles and pigtails. There were around 70 people there and my great costume idea had been copied by two guys who had gone as Batman and Robin and to make matters worse they had obviously hired from the same shop as me as Batman looked like my twin brother.

The girls all got together as girls do and we guys headed for the kitchen to be closer to the beer. I realised that I hadn’t seen Debbie for a while so went looking for her to find her dancing with the other Batman. The noise in the place was incredible to there was little talking but I wondered if she knew it was him or not. It was quite dark, a few red light bulbs creating the required party “ambience.” I stood quietly over beside some heavy curtains so that I could watch and saw Debbie giggling with enjoyment as she danced. At the end of the music as the next track slid flawlessly in the guy took her hand and led her over to a corner. I could still see quite clearly as some brighter light was leaking from the kitchen.

They were trying to talk but it was pointless and I saw him lean forward and kiss her gently on the lips. Debbie, smiled and grabbed his head kissing him fully on the lips and, as they kissed, I saw his hand on her breast. As they sunk more deeply into the corner I saw his gloved hand slide up her skirt. She didn’t resist and though I doubted he could feel much with gloves on I assumed he was stroking her cunt. This was all very discreetly done so Debbie seemed to be enjoying it.

I decided enough was enough so walked across and stood behind him as he had her pinned to the wall. Debbie’s eyes opened and she saw me. I winked and she recoiled as though someone had hit her with a cattle prod.

“Sam?” she said.

“Yes dear, who’s your friend?”

The guy looked at me, then Debbie and he realised instantly what had happened.

“Oh sorry mate, mistaken identity.”

Debbie was mortified and as it was getting on, she asked to leave. Once we got home she apologised and I told her not to worry. We kissed and stripped off to have sex. She kept apologising until I told her, initially that I found it quite funny. As we started to fuck, and she was beginning to breath heavily I quietly spoke.

“I wonder how far he would have managed to go Debbie? Just think, a stranger’s finger in your cunt, fingering you while I watched. Was his cock hard? Did you feel it?”

“Christ, I’m cumming,” she screamed as I matched her and I emptied my spunk into the condom.

We lay for some time.

“Didn’t it bother you, Sam?”

“I’m sorry to say this Debbie but guys getting off watching you really turn me on and the fact that a stranger actually had his hand up there turns me on too.”

“Why, don’t you love me?”

“Of course I do but I remember at school when you used to flaunt yourself to the guys, I loved watching them being horny watching you. All that testosterone somehow excited me and now you’re mine, I realised tonight, and in the pub a few weeks ago that the fact that you and I are a couple, it turns me on more than ever.

She admitted that night, she missed the flaunting Debbie she used to be. She told me she used to fantasise about her control over the boys at school and dreamed about them all wanting to seduce her while she could turn them on or off as she wished. She said she would masturbate with these images.

“Maybe we could still play that game again?” I said. “We go to another club and act separate for a little while to see what happens. You can get turned on by being chatted up and then we’ll come home and fuck.”

She said nothing much about it and I left the idea in the air.

Around 3 weeks later we were going out on a Saturday night when she said, “Fancy trying that new bar across town?The DJ’s supposed to be great.”

“Ok, but as long as you dress up sexily for it.”

She looked at me and smiled before disappearing and coming back in looking awesome. Her low cut top accentuated her breasts which looked as though they were struggling to escape. Her legs looked long and sexy from her short skirt which flared out with some kind of starched underskirt.

“Will I do?”

“Fuck yes,” I replied.

As we walked down the road to the bar I asked her, “Do you want to play the game we suggested a few weeks ago?”

“Maybe for 30 minutes or so,” she suggested.

She bought her drink and stood looking as though she had a date who was late. I watched her. It took no more than 5 minutes before a guy of around 35 walked up to her and talked. She chatted back but he moved on so I suppose she must have said she was waiting for someone. The next were a couple of 18 year old guys. They stood either side of her and were getting an eyeful of her breasts. One kissed her on the cheek and she coyly smiled. The other did the same. They chatted some more and then I saw her shake her head. They shrugged their shoulders and walked off.

I went over to talk to her.

She said, “The first guy was quite nice but a bit drunk and the second two asked if I wanted a threesome.”

My cock was hard already.

We gave it another 30 minutes and she got as far as sitting with a 28 year old guy who bought her a drink and I saw his hand on her leg, squeezing it. He sat back at one point and nodded to his crotch and I saw a clear hard on there. Debbie again quietly declined and he went off.

When we got home we fucked like rabbits and this time Debbie was into all the fantasy about what might have happened.

“Oh Sam I get so excited knowing these guys want me and can’t have me.”

That’s when I realised my brain was heading towards a different agenda. I wanted them to have her!

Debbie was into the fantasy of teasing guys and though it wasn’t on our weekly agenda, we did do it every few weeks usually for about an hour or so and then we would meet up and go somewhere else to talk about it and have a drink together.

The change happened quite quickly one evening. It was a Friday and we chose a bar we hadn’t tried before. It wasn’t rough but equally wasn’t exactly a cocktail bar either. Debbie was approached quite quickly by a guy of around 34 or so. He was with some other guys but peeled off to speak to her. He was not quite her type in the sense that he was “a bit of rough,” but was a stunningly good looking guy. He was about 5 feet 10 inches, well built but not too muscled. His hair was very short, almost shaved and he had a tattoo on each arm. His eyes were piercingly blue and his teeth amazingly white. His jeans profiled that he was a well endowed guy.

Debbie spoke to him for some time and they were laughing. He bought her a drink and she was flirting like mad. We reached our timed deadline for going. Usually she would quietly decline him and head out the door and I would follow but he was being quite persuasive. Debbie was insistent and stood to leave. I saw him write his phone number down for her and as she went out, I followed her. Once safely down the street, I caught up with her and we stood and chatted to catch up on what had been said.

“Trying to move in once you thought I had gone then!” said the voice.

I looked around to find the guy standing behind me.

“I saw you looking at her so I assumed you fancied your chances once she left,” he continued.

I was about to explain when suddenly Debbie spoke.

“Actually I was looking at him too,” she said. “You are both handsome guys and I should be flattered you are both interested in me. I wouldn’t know which to choose.”

The guy softened. “Well you’re a good looking girl too and I was just worried he might have had something else in mind so I came to see you were ok.”

“Actually I met this guy last week. His name’s Sam and we had a casual arrangement to meet tonight and perhaps go back to my place but you and I got talking. Dan, this is Sam and Sam, this is Dan.”

We stood looking at each other and shook hands lamely. He was a good looking guy by any standards and I could see that Debbie had the hots for him but we were in an awkward situation.

“So there’s no hard feelings, why don’t you both come back to my place and have a drink,” said Debbie.

My mind was racing. What about pictures, after-shave and other manly traces of my existence.

Debbie was in full flow. “I live with my brother but he’s away for the weekend so it will be nice to have the attention of two gentlemen for a chat.”

The word chat was said rather suggestively and my mind was racing. Surely she wasn’t actually going to let him…..fuck her? My cock was brick hard and my heart was pounding with both fear and expectation. This was dangerous. This was dirty!

“I will if he will,” said Dan.

“Ok,” I said meekly.

The walk back was slightly embarrassing with small talk and me trying really hard to be a stranger. I had never seen Debbie like this, in control and horny for a stranger. It slightly unnerved and excited me at the same time. I hung slightly back so I could watch her with him. My cock was so hard. I felt like an excited teenager.

Thankfully Dan went to the toilet when we got in and we had a frantic 5 minutes while he was in there (washing himself?) hiding anything that might give us away. We slept together but I kept my belongings in the other room as Debbie took up too much space so the room looked like it was hers.

When he came out, I dashed in and did wash myself, just in case. When I came out Debbie had poured beers for us and then tripped off to “get comfortable.”

She returned 10 minutes later looking stunning. Her hair looked so shiny, her skin glowed and she was wearing little slip-over dress in white with her bra and pants just visible through the fabric.

Dan wolf whistled when she came in.

“I’m kind of new to this,” said Debbie, “So who’s going to kiss me first?”

Dan stood up and walked over to her. His strong workman’s hands looked enormous as he held her shoulders and kissed her gently on the cheek, then slowly worked around to her lips. He had taken his jacket off and stood in white t-shirt tucked into Levi’s. His bottom was firm and tight within his jeans. My cock was rock solid and tight within mine.

His hand cupped her right breast and he gently squeezed them upwards and kissed the exposed top which had oozed out of her bra.

“You just watching or joining mate?” he said, jolting me back to life.

I decided to push this further and more quickly in case it didn’t go all the way so I pulled off my polo shirt, unbuckled my jeans and slipped off my shoes and socks quickly standing in my tight grey boxers, my 7 inches sticking obscenely tenting outwards within them. I walked over and stood behind Debbie and prodded her buttocks with my cock.

“My, my we do have an excited guy here don’t we?” she said, gripping my hard cock.

She started to pull up the guy’s t-shirt and revealed a quite if not overly hairy chest, a small tattoo of an eagle on his right shoulder. Once that was off and as I kissed her neck, she deftly unbuckled and unclipped his jeans letting them drop. He was wearing not-so-sexy, ice blue cotton boxers and his cock was hanging heavily and menacingly down his leg, looking much like the business end of a hose pipe.

Debbie gripped it as Dan kicked off his jeans. He now stood in socks and shorts. She dropped to her knees suddenly, leaving Dan and I looking uncomfortably at each other. She slid both pairs of underwear down and my cock, always liked a coiled spring whacked up and hit her chin. I looked down and Dan’s though not fully hard, was already around 8 inches but thick, very thick. His pink piss slit peeked out from foreskin like a flower pushing the petals aside and a little drip of pre-cum sat at the head. Debbie’s tongue dashed out as she held it, and licked the clear liquid before a third of his cock disappeared into her mouth. She had one hand on my cock, her mouth around his cock and her other hand on his heavy balls. As she sucked I heard her gag. She slid her mouth back and the big cock had now become a monster. It stood straight out at just short of 10 inches but the real shock was the girth. This was a thick cock by any standard.

Debbie took my cock in her mouth and expertly sucked my upward curving manhood almost until I blew in her mouth. I had to quickly withdraw it. Debbie stood up and pulled her top off, asking Dan to unclip her bra as she dropped her pants. We both stripped naked in time with her and I felt slightly inadequate next to this real man. He took her in his arms, or rather enveloped her as his lips crushed down on her and his hands explored her, moving from her neck to her breasts and then finally finding her wet cunt lips. I watched in awe as his fingers invaded her cunt and Debbie just swooned in his arms. I tried to play my part, standing behind her kissing the nape of her neck but found myself kissing the back of a hairy hand as he returned to her neck ready to lift her into the bedroom.

He carried her and laid her on the bed, her legs dangling off the base. He knelt between her legs and buried his face between them, I saw his tongue disappear into the slit between her neatly trimmed bush. I climbed on the bed and offered my cock to Debbie and she took it as she whimpered to Dan’s invasion of her intimate spot. The slurping sound was erotic coupled with Debbie’s whimpering, her buttocks rising to meet his mouth and she started her climb to orgasm.

Dan lay flat on her and kissed his way up her body as I watched. The shock was when he reached her mouth. Just as I went to pull my cock out, her gripped it, pulled it out and slid it into his own mouth, sucking with a force I had never experienced. He then offered my cock back to Debbie and took turn around with her at sucking. Once more I had to beg him to stop before I shot my load.

SGC Kids 2Bringing the Gospel to a New Generation

We delight in the opportunity to serve parents and their children at Sovereign Grace Church! SGC Kids, our children’s ministry, provides contexts that supplement and support the parents’ biblical responsibility to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:1-4).

We provide SGC Kids for infants through 5th graders during our Sunday Celebration.

SGC Kids Nursery

Nursery ministry is for infants through children 3 years of age. Nursery is provided throughout the entire Sunday Celebration (10:00AM – noon) year round.

SGC Kids Classroom

Classroom ministry is provided from approximately the week after Labor Day through the end of June for 4 years of age to 5th grade. Classes are held during the second half of the Sunday Celebration.

The curriculum we use is called The Gospel Story. We utilize this curriculum to teach through the Bible over multiple years. Each lesson seeks to teach the main point of the passage and how it relates to the main storyline of the Bible—God’s plan to save sinners through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Every class studies the same Bible passage for that day, with older children going deeper into the meaning and application of the text. This facilitates review of the material for families with more than one child since they are all learning the same passage.

Powerpuff, Beetlejuice, DC... Clothes to die for!

So it's about that time again... let's all oooo and awww at the amazing clothing by some designers of geeky stuff. Of course Hot Topic will be on the list again because they keep coming out with stuff that I want and need in my closet... but there's also one Etsy artist here too! (image: Hot Topic)

Let's start off with Hot Topic. This month is the introduction of the new Powerpuff Girls and that's so exciting. I was a huge fan of Powerpuff Girls in highschool and I totally wanted to be Buttercup. I guess everyone has their favourite and Buttercup was totally mine. So in relation to this Hot Top decided to create a Powerpuff line and it's totally awesome!

Not only are they doing a set of seperates (I really love her tights too!)... they are also doing dresses related directly to the characters. Of course with my love of Buttercup I've added that one to the list but you can see the rest on the Buzzfeed article as well.

I really think they did a great job. There's a giveaway that you can sign up for on the Hot Topic site for the entire collection and they will notify you when the items become available. So don't forget to go and SIGN UP!

I've been following a fashion designer on Etsy through their facebook account for a while. Partially because she uses a lot of the Steamgirls for her models and partially cause I love all her stuff. Her name on Etsy and Facebook is the Patched Jester and she is quite amazing in what she does. Her recent outfit available for order is a stripped Beetlejuice dress.

Patched Jester Creations.
Isn't it lovely!! My little goth heart be still, I have a total obsession with ANYTHING black and white stripes, and this is no exception. I love the way it's longer in the back than the front and the stripping is beautiful!! Honestly even her prices aren't bad with it being only $95+shipping Canadian. You should totally go check out her stuff, I need most of it (or all of it) in my closet.

 Hot Topic strikes again with a collection based on the DC Comics Bombshells! If you haven't see the comic then you should totally check them out. The comics are beautifully done and lots of fun as well.

Hot Topic: found on Fashionably Geek
I love all of these styles... really I need to have the Harley jacket!! As I've stated I've never been a huge DC fan but I tend to love all the women (I find the guys are a little flat in comparison) and these four outfits would be so much fun for Everyday Cosplay... or even just casual hanging out it. There's nothing like being in costume as an everyday thing. Check out the whole line on Hot Topic!

So what do you think? Is there any piece you need to add to your wardrobe?

Until next time.
Keep on, Geekin' on.
