In the dark of the night a secret is kept so no mortal can see. Monsters and beasts walk the land with the children of God. Yet, even these monsters and beasts have lives just like you or I. They have jobs they do and bills that must be paid. Life seems to continue in the oddest of ways. Yet even in the dark there is still fear. Fear from the unseen and unknown. It is good to have this fear. Without fear we would be extinct like the dinosaurs.
One creature in particular has gained my attention since I was 12. My mother showed me my first vampire movie. It had Peter Cushing and Vincent Price in it. Mr. Price played the vampire so well that I was hooked. The whole idea of a vampire gripped my core and has not let go since. I started reading all I could about vampire stories and history of vampire stories. I even read Bunnicula like 12 times. I thought it was awesome!! A vampire bunny that lived off the juice of tomatoes? HELLO? Ok so it was a kid’s story. Guess what… I was a kid. In junior high, I took a creative writing class. Everyone said I took it because it was an easy A class. I agreed just to get them off my back, but the truth was I wanted to learn how to write. I wanted to write a story that would effect someone’s life like the old vampire movies did me.
Well life happened like it normally does and I put a hold on my writing. I wanted to be better than what I was. I wanted the vocabulary of a writer so I could put to paper what I saw in my mind. And let me tell you, that’s a lot harder than you think. I eventually graduated high school and actually considered college, for a minute. I actually tried a couple years of it too. I loved my english classes, espically when we expressed our thoughts or views of a topic. It was there that I learned you can never put too much detail into your writings. But my plans were altered, by my choice. I wanted my family. So I got married to a wonderful man, who I am still married to this day, and had four beautiful children. The years have passed and I find myself returning to my old passion. The link on this blog page contain characters I have role played with the white wolf system. They are all a work in progress and have taken me a few years to gather the information for them. They are just rough drafts, and still need a lot of work, but I enjoy writing them.
So now its 12:53 am and I am considering bed. Part of me wants to write the night away but I know that I will have time to write come Monday when the children return to school.
So without further adieu, I wish you the sweetest of dreams and bid you all good night.
