とにかく愛してる – 01

November 12, 2009 Catherine Leave a comment

Intro to the 50k story I’m writing for nanowrimo09. Whee!

Just a note that I don’t care about proofreading and grammar. The idea is to write a story and who cares if it doesn’t make sense – you wrote bullsh*t the length of a novel! GO YOU.

Please don’t bother to correct me or comment with ‘it doesn’t make sense, you should blah blah blah…’ because, to those of you who are the English Police of the internet, I’ll say it now – I DON’T CARE. <3

Characters:

Akamine Kyou 赤嶺 鏡 - main girl
Tsubaki Saika 椿 さいか - another girl
Akiyama Kaede 秋山 楓 - the loverboy
Panda-kun パンダーくん - the other boy

Enjoy! <3

TOTAL: 602 WORDS

I really don’t know what to write so I guess the first step to take is…

THIS.

YES I DID IT.

There are so many things I’ve accomplished in life that I am proud of (bear in mind I am a person of pride) and many of it was just simply taking the first step. But really that first step is quite pointless if it doesn’t have any steps to continue on the initial step. I mean you don’t just stop when you take a step forward – that just looks retarded.  When normal people stop walking, they stop with their feet side by side. Theoretically, it requires a half step forward from whichever the rear foot was. In other words , a person doesn’t stop walking forward suddenly. They gradually stop unless they’re playing a game of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ or ‘What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?’. Ah, primary school days.

It is a shame for me to say that I am a half assed person who only takes the first step, and hardly any steps come after it at all. Even if it meant it was for the person I cared about the most. See I have this pessimistic belief that no one can put another person’s life before them, unless it was for their own self benefit. Or that when someone puts their life on the line, there is a shred of regret or hesitance but by the time they realize it, it’s too late. Now this may come as an offence to fellow loved ones and all but forgive me for not understanding the meaning of selflessness in this kind of corrupted world. Actually, don’t forgive me because it would be selfless of you to do so. Save it for something else.

Although I do like the sound of the word ‘everlasting’, it doesn’t sound as fulfilling as I had hoped. It’s like a glass of water half full – it doesn’t last long as a full glass of water no matter how you look at it. The meaning of the word everlasting could be better applied individually to the elements on the Periodic Table for a number of reasons. One – there is equal exchange in every chemical reaction (forgot the proper term for it)which ensures that nothing disappears into thin air… but even if it does, air is something since it’s composed of 70% nitrogen and hopefully you know the rest.

There are so many things that I don’t believe in. Sometimes people try to exaggerate to make things sound better than they are, but I end up being more skeptical about it. It’s not to say that I am closed off about that particular topic, I still allow my beliefs to change although not so readily. I am like a rock… living under another rock. A photo can look different to me each time I look at it and my perceptions and ideals change with time.

Time is the universal dimension, the man-made creation based on the changing patterns and cycles of nature that links our existence and those of others around us together. It is the one thing that we all have in common with everyone and everything in this world, and in other worlds. I find it strange that I believe in life on another planet in another galaxy, but not in the intangible things such as pure human emotions. Not unless we’re loyal and loving to each other like our pet dogs might be like.

My name is Akamine Kyou, and I am trying to figure out a better way to say ‘I love you’.

You may stop reading… now if you wish. The rest is me vomiting out nearly 600 words worth of crap. ^^

[EDIT] the blog entry ends here!  I’ve cleared out the rest of the entry because it made me look like an emotional wuss so yeah. Just a little note-to-self…

Because I fell in love with my characters, Kogashiwa Jun and er… Mizusawa Aoi, I will use them again to tell my story.

All the things people do for love, are they all a waste of time?
Only if they go by unnoticed…

My name is Mizusawa Aoi. I’m one of those sadasses out there who gave a crap about someone special. This is my story.

November 15, 2008 Catherine Leave a comment

**CHAPTER TWO SUMMARY**

A lot happens in Kei’s house, but what sets the core of the story line is what happens later. Jun walks home with a guitar that Kei had lent to him to help rediscover his passion for music. However when Jun arrives home and opens up the guitar case, he finds out that the guitar had once belonged to Aoi’s boyfriend, Taku. Then unexpectedly, an uninvited individual comes to pay him a visit…

45,409 words to go!

Gosh I nearly cried when I wrote the part when the ‘uninvited individual’ came in. Until my emotional moment was permanantly ruined by a SNEEZE. I think I nearly shat myself haha. I was pretty scared of what I was writing myself. Anyhoots, I left out the details of the last few paragraphs of the chapter sumnary since I didn’t wanna spoil the story JUST YET. In other words I’m making you read it for yourself hehe. Because I want to. Author’s rights, baby! ENJOY!

HEARTSTRINGS INTRO + CHAPTER ONE

Postin’ up my info from the nanowrimo08 website…

Kinda acts as a blurb for my novel… haha.

P.S – THE CHAPTER SUMMARIES WILL BE IN RED

About the author
kaizenkaoru
Novel: HEARTSTRINGS
Genre: Other Genres

Synopsis: HEARTSTRINGS

Jun is haunted by the death of his friend’s sister. Kei’s sister, Aoi. They were never close, but Jun appears to be deeply affected somehow. After his visit to Kei’s house, he takes home a guitar that once belonged to Aoi’s boyfriend. Somehow Jun sensed that the guitar holds the answers to why Aoi has casted shadows wherever he goes.

Excerpt: HEARTSTRINGS

“Hey Kei, long time no see, Aoi.”
Jun seemed surprised when Kei stopped and looked around him. Why was he looking around him? Didn’t he see Aoi walk beside him?
“Aoi’s not here, Jun. You don’t remember what happened to her?”
Jun stopped to try to recall what anyone could’ve told him about Aoi. She graduated from high school… found a part time job… played the Violin at a concert and studied music at her university… Then she…
“Aoi and her boyfriend died in a car crash. You attended her funeral, remember?”
Jun did remember now. Earlier this year, Aoi and her boyfriend got into a car accident at a park near Aoi’s restaurant. It was unfortunate that as they were driving around town to talk about something, then a drunk driver crashed into their car. They were rushed to hospital, knowing they had no chance of survival. Aoi’s boyfriend’s final request was to see Aoi one last time. He proposed to her before he died. Aoi died shortly after. Jun was notified by Kei of her death when he was lying on the grass near a long line of cherry blossom trees. Ever since then Jun appeared to always see Aoi’s shadow every time he looks at the trees.
“I remember now.”
“Great… you must be tired or something. You weren’t really yourself today, I guess. Come in the house, I’ll get you something to drink.”

**CHAPTER ONE SUMMARY**

This chapter in an introduction to Kogashiwa Jun, the protagonist, his friend Kei who has a sister, Aoi, deceased weeks before the first day of Jun and Kei’s final high school year. Aoi and her boyfriend were admitted to hospital together with no chance of survival. Her boyfriend requested to see her one last time, and proposed to her before they both died. Jun appears to be acting strange and took a while to recall this incident, even though he himself had attended Aoi’s funeral. Jun walks home from his first day of school and somehow ends up in front of Kei’s house. Kei begins to think that Jun is affected somehow by his sister’s death and invites him in for a drink.

47,966 words to go!
