thought you were away for a few days
how are you and beth
cagedmind0531
We're good. I'm pretty occupied but I get a moment here and there
forrestjones2010
ah i see go have fun
i am pretty tied up with canan too
i drew a scene with Graven and Gaia
staring at the Gaiasphere
cagedmind0531
post it
forrestjones2010
not finished just yet
published but incomplete
here
cagedmind0531
I can't stop thinking about the book, dreamed about it last night. lol
Trying to work out what happens with the tree and Gaia etc
forrestjones2010
sweet
did you see the pi
pic
cagedmind0531
Yeah, interesting
forrestjones2010
its not finished at all
but getting there
cagedmind0531
I want graven to live for quite a while, well into the next age and possibly he watches the Gaia tree die and it's like he is losing her all
over again
forrestjones2010
nice thought
i told tish i was writing o love sce and she said are you ok?
cagedmind0531
lol
forrestjones2010
you dont write love scenes
i know this is my second...you were my first
cagedmind0531
rofl! smooth
forrestjones2010
i know right...save
cagedmind0531
lol
So we need Gaia's death to be at the end of an intense scene. Saving him from a rune bomb seems kind of shallow now
forrestjones2010
ok
cagedmind0531
We might need to wait another chapter or two to kill her...we need a mystery or something to occupy that time. I just feel like we need more time
to make readers care about her
forrestjones2010
thats fine
evolve speech
that needs time
develope the school
what color is the gaisphere
cagedmind0531
He needs to love her after she speaks too. It's easy to love a woman who can't talk
ROFL!
forrestjones2010
amen brother man
hot and cant talk rocks and makes the first move naked
thats fantasy right
cagedmind0531
Right now it's black with red vines and blue leaves
forrestjones2010
yeah well black doesnt translate in photoshop so pick a color
cagedmind0531
Dark blue maybe
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
Basically the entire forest is dark blue and blood red
We need more visuals of the forest inserted
Back in the story
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
Or maybe we can start incorporating that now without the reader noticing we didn't do it already
What might be cool is to have a love scene on top of the Gaia tree...like they climb up there
It is the tallest tree in the forest
forrestjones2010
sweet cuz i gots them monkey up thur right now
cagedmind0531
lol
We need to make their love believable without this turning into a chick flick
forrestjones2010
tell me what you think of this
uploading image to blog
cagedmind0531
k
forrestjones2010
done
it feels to simplistic
cagedmind0531
Well there is alot that could be added if you wanted to but it's pretty interesting
forrestjones2010
ok...i like it for what it is i just did want to go to bare bones
cagedmind0531
Not sure what you would want to add to it, if anything
forrestjones2010
there are other variations of this i want to play with
the scenes you wrote are rich with visuals
cagedmind0531
I have an idea
forrestjones2010
i thought about a moon
but another sphere
cagedmind0531
What if one of the characters gets injured
forrestjones2010
might be to much
or a flare
cagedmind0531
yeah I agree
What do you think about Syrka getting seriously hurt and dying. Gaia knowing about a plant that might help him or something
random thought
forrestjones2010
i like that
healing plants are right up her alley
cagedmind0531
I need to read the book through again.
forrestjones2010
me too
cagedmind0531
We need to remember that for us chapter 2 was like weeks ago but for the reader it may be 5 minutes ago
forrestjones2010
very true
cagedmind0531
I've gotta go. I'll be thinking of ideas. Your drawing looks good but it does need something
Not sure what
forrestjones2010
i found what it needs peak at it later i will post
night man
cagedmind0531
Wait nvm she wants to shower so Ic an stick around a few more
alone
rofl she wrote that
forrestjones2010

namaste
cagedmind0531
so anyway
You given this chapter any thought as to things that can happen? Other then the love scene?
forrestjones2010
yes
cant stop thinking about the book in general
cagedmind0531
Yeah it's kind of overwhelming
forrestjones2010
i am completely fascinated by it
i have been into the visual more lately because do to the family thing i have not had time to myself to write
cagedmind0531
it's cool
I think maybe one of the other characters needs to sculpt the 4 masks, maybe Syrka
The reader needs to know these are not just things in his head. These are real powers at work
forrestjones2010
to clarify
THE masks
will be made by them
and be set in motion and become legend
history
?
cagedmind0531
I didn't think about that but I was thinking maybe in the future they think the masks are myths but one scientist tries to speak out
The 4 they sculpt could be like artifacts
I mean relics, not like the artifact
forrestjones2010
lost me
cagedmind0531
I was just thinking they might be items of power
forrestjones2010
but the ones graven sees he alone sees them
and these are the true masks
in there prime form correct
cagedmind0531
Yes
We'll sort it all out. I gotta go for tonight.
See ya soon brother!
forrestjones2010
