I'm stumped with writing, but there's art

[renisanz]

There's a challenge coming up on sg_onesweetlove , and I really want to participate, but I remain completely uninspired.

I even drew a picture of Seraih in the hopes that I would be inspired to write the next chapter of "Leather". . .still nothing. Well, I have a few ideas of moments and such, but nothing comes together in a concrete narrative.

It was fun designing her outfit. I had a little trouble initially because I wanted it to be kinda tomboyish but still feminine. I made her clothes fitted to try to match how I first described her in story. With her cloak pulled back, her womanliness (sp?) is quite apparent. I also made her hair a bit longer than I initially imagined. The story I have is that she had very long beautiful hair, but cut it recently, much to the chagrin of her aunt and guardian, who's trying to find Seraih a husband.

And I'm still trying to come up with a last name for her.

ETA: Seraih's vital stats

Full Name: Seraiah Maerek
Homeworld: Mira
Gender: Female
Age: almost 19 in "Leather" and about 22 in "Left Behind"
Hair: Dark brown, wavy
Eyes: bright blue
Height: 5'7
Weight: 130lbs
Distinguishing marks: Freckles across her face

However, this list (Top 50 'Man Candy' of FANDOM) by mortari  is a nice diversion. :)

I like this. It gives me a face to picture.

Good job!

I hope your writing picks up for you.

Good luck!!

Thanks. I hope so, too.

Did you get my email in response to "Strawberries"? You never replied back, I just wanted to make sure.

Yes, I got it. It's just been another one of those long weeks. This is the first time I've had my computer on since Wednesday night. Between work and everything else, my life has felt like a roller coaster ride.

As far as "strawberries" goes, I'm still working on it...

Anyway, good luck with yours...

Thanks again. I know what it's like. It was a long week for me as well. I took today to catch up on sleep, because I've been staying up insanely late for no particular reason the last several night.

However, I recently got slapped by my muse, so I'm writing something for the challenge on sg_onesweetlove. I have no idea where the story's going, but it's something, so I'm going with it. :)

You'll work your story out, don't worry. :) Don't force it, just wait for the inspiration to come. For me it strikes at the most unlikely times.

Thats lovely drawn! You're a very creative person :)

Thanks. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil/crayon, pretty much. Doing fan art helps keep me from getting rusty. :)
