Thinking up the idea:
- Think of an idea.
- Lie in bed and think about the idea some more.
- Dismiss idea.
- Walk around house. Do menial tasks. Allow the mind to wander.
- When the mind has wandered around to an idea, stop doing menial tasks and pay attention.
- Write it down.
- Read it over.
- Change it.
- Lie down on sofa. Let idea form a story.
- Dismiss idea. Hates idea. Idea is stupid.
- Decide to write from the headlines. Switch on news. Read newspapers. Look for inspiration.
- Ebola, eh?
- Brand new idea. A plague that wipes out most of humanity! The few survivors come together under some vague supernatural (religious?) pretence.
- But evil people have also come together! Drama! Conflict!
- Realise your idea is The Stand, by Stephen King.
- Read The Stand, by Stephen King.
- Go back to original idea, decide it's good enough.
- Congratulations! You now have your idea!

(I DEDICATE THIS PAGE TOO:
SKYPE - BECAUSE THANKS TOO SKYPE I AM ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO I WOULD NOT NORMALLY BE ALLOWED TO TALK TO.
SISTERS - BOTH REAL AND NOT, BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND AND SOMETIMES THERE FOR YOU AND YEAH THEY'RE COOL
UM..INDECISIVENESS, NORMALNESS, AND ORDINARYNESS, BECAUSE LETS BE HONEST, IT'S NOT BAD TO BE ORDINARY..
AND FINALLY, TO WORDS!
Claire: *steps through the portal* Thanks.
You're welcome.
*steps through behind her, letting it close*
(Hear hear!)
(*hugs Chi*)
I'm doing fine, Tia. :) You?
Hear, hear. :)
Claire: *starts walking towards the school* Music is the closest department to where we are.
Okay, thats good..
Claire: So we're nearly there! Just very late.
Very, very late...maybe we just shouldn't go..
Claire: And do what?
I don't know, hang out in the clearing?
()
*sighs and sits under a tree*
*flies down from her tree branch in front of Silente*
*grins* Hey sis, fight? pretty pwease?
()
I thought you'd never ask.
*gets up, grinning*
Now now, remember I'm stronger at this time of year.
(Wait, has this been almost a year that we've known each other?)
(OMG IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR!!!)
()
Pfft. You're always strong. Just with different elements. Plus, if we don't fight then I can't beat you up. *grins*
Claire: ... Sure!
*turns on her heel and goes to the clearing with the shed*
Claire: *follows behind her* She said this place has drinks, right?
Yep. In the shed. You had bottles water.
Claire: Yes. *smiles* I don't have anything but bottled water.
You've never been able to beat me up *smiles and advances slowly*
I'll get our drinks. *goes into the shed*
()
Yet.
*grins in anticipation, waiting*
*makes it snow*
*creates twins katanas and rushes towards her*
Claire: Bottled water, please.
()
*smiles at the snow, catching a flake on her tongue, waiting until Chi is close then spinning to the side to avoid the katanas*
Missed.
*comes out with two bottles of water, unopened, and passes one to claire*
Claire: Thanks. *smiles and opens the water, having a drink*
*Strolls in by the fight and calmly forms an armchair*
*Makes a rather large show of getting comfortable in the chair*
*Leans back and watches the fight with a look of genuine interest*
*opens her own bottle, taking a sip*
Claire: What is like having no spit?
((Back/ok, Star/longer message inbound.))
Inconvinient.
(I love you, guys!)
*melts into a puddle*
*reforms under silente, stabbing her feet with icicles, keeping her in place*
(I love you too Tia! *hugs*)
(You too Tia! *hugs*)
Ahh!
*cries out, laughing, trying to lift her feet*
That's a new one!
(Dear future life partner,
I love you.
Please cook.
I cannot do it.
I'll make the sandwiches.
And fajitas.
But please, please cook!)
Claire: How so?
I can't eat food.
(YO YO BLAKEY BO0)
Claire: Well you can...
(**BOO)
Not without great difficulty.
(Hear hear!)
*glares at Sil*
You have five seconds to apologise, or I will make your day worse.
Sil2: *laughs at Tanya*
Claire: Do you have to drink all the time?
If I want to eat then yeah..
Claire: Do you have to eat or can you live without?
I can live without, although I need blood if I do
(Is Sil still digging her nails into Tanya? What is Sil doing?
And why do I get Sil2?
She's so mean!)
*Slices across her back* Yup, I'm full of tricks
(Right Sil is with Claire
Sil - () is with Chi
Sil2 is with Tanya)
*Starts making mental bets in his head*
*The crowd favors Chi... How about that?*
()
*cries out*
No fair my feet are pinned!
("Mental bets in his head" is kinda redundant, isn't it..?)
(Is Sil2 still digging her nails into Tanya's neck? What is she doing? Where is she standing?)
I don't think you'll have much to laugh about by the end of today.
(Little bit..Mental kinda explains that it'll be in his head.)
Claire: So it's better if you eat normal food?
Some might think so
Sil2: *digs her nails in deeper* Big talk.
Claire: Why don't you like it when I kill people?
*shrugs* It's a waste, and always so bloody..
Claire: Are you sure that's the reason?
What other reasons are there?
*still doesn't stop her, but pain is evident in her eyes*
I'll give you a small gift tonight if you stop treating me like...
*grunts involuntarily*
...this.
*is looking more awake and aware now*
Sil2: Gift?
Claire: That's what I'm asking.
*shrugs*
It's just...you're so young...
Something to motivate you to...
*grunts in pain*
...to stop torturing me.
Claire: Age is just a number...
(I am rather impressed with that Sainsbury's advert.)
Sil2: Torturing? This is hardly torturing.
(Why Soph?)
Still..
*feels the blood flow down her neck as she looks into Silente's eyes, searching for... something*
*reaches out an arm, trying to push away Silente's arm, but doesn't add enough strength to the push to make a difference*
Silente... please... stop...
*eyes become watery*
Claire: ... I'll try not to kill.
(It was rather impressive.)
Sil2: *searches Tanyas eyes*
*lets go*
Thank you.
Yeah well...*shrugs*
*slices across her stomach*
*dances in the snow around her, blood spilling out*
Claire: It's okay... *hugs her*
*cries out again, jerking away and falling on her butt, feet still pinned*
*grows and yanks her feet free, wincing at the pain it causes*
(**growls ^^)
*hugs Claire back*
Hello...?
*glares at Sil*
Why did you do that?
(Hey Flower!!!)
(Hello, Flora.)
Claire: Are you alright?
Sil2: Dominance
Hey guys, how're you?
Yeah, i'm okay.
(I'm not to bad thanks Flower, you?)
*looks angrier*
Why did you listen to me?
*the snow turns into icicles and fall from the sky, stabbing Silente in the shoulders, arms, legs and feet*
*is dancing still*
Sil2: You'd rather I just ripped your throat out?
()
*cries out louder, cursing, grinning despite the pain*
You really are getting stronger..
I'm okay actually thanks. Still on a high from last night - supernatural had its 200th episode
(I will be back soon.)
(Ooooh cool :)
(Hello, Flora!)
I'd rather I had a reason to hate you!
Hey Tia, how're you?
Sil2 If yo really want me to rip your throat out I happily will
Of course I am. Blake will get stronger this time of year too.
Oh joy. The cocky couple..
*forces herself to stand and rushes Chi, knocking her to the ground*
(Ok, Flora. How about you?)
That's not the point, Sil!
You know what?
*punches her in the gut*
*pushes her onto her back*
*slides on top of her*
*aggressively bites her neck*
*licks all the blood coming out*
Alright thanks
*icicles stick of her like she's a porcupine*
Sil2: *dodges the punch to her gut*
(Lol Chi..)
()
*cries out, letting her go, regretting that decision almost immediately, still grinning*
*snarls, grabbing Silente's hand*
Sil2: *raises an eyebrow* what do you plan to do with that, propose?
(Ew...
Peer Support Training day today, so I gotta run...
No eating each other, or licking up each other's blood while I'm gone... Because EWWW!!!
*Looks pointedly at Sil/Tia*
*Poof*)
(*laughs and hugs Danni* No promises!)
(Have a great day, Danni!
I won't eat Sil, I promise!)
...
*twists Sil's hand into her mouth, biting off a finger*
*pushes shocked Sil away*
You can have it back if I feel you deserve it.
*runs away*
((Author's note: Wow, this turned dark quickly.))
(I am back.)
Claire: Good. *keeps hugging her*
*hugs her back*
Sil2: *roars in pain, clutching her hand*
*snarls and chases her using her sigils to make her faster*
Claire: Please don't hurt yourself.
*runs through the forest*
nononononothiswasabadideanonono
I...I'll try not to.
Sil2: *easily catches up with and tackles Tanya pinning her on her back and biting savagely at her throat*
*screams like she's never screamed before*
*headbutts Silente*
STOP!!!
Claire: ... I'll help you.
Sil2: *bites harder, angry as hell*
Do try to not kill each other.-Zaf
(Hello?.....
hello?)
Thank you *smiles at her*
(Hey Zaf, Garr)
Claire: Considering you tried to hurt me when we first met, I'm glad that we're friends.
(Hey, Zaffy! How are you?
I'm sure we'll be okay c:)
*grabs her by the throat, holding her away from her own throat*
STOP!!!
Hi. I'm smiling. I'm re-reading Sceptre of the Ancients. I remember when Serpine was an issue.....
I also smile when the American Elders are mentioned....I know I am one.
Those were the good old days.
-Zaf
Yeah same.
Sil2: *snarls at Tanya* WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT CHALLENGING ME??
(Indeed they were...
c:)
Ah, pleasant days...
*Smiles fondly*
*Puts on an odd pair of socks*
*Poofs*
(Hello Sil, how be you?)
Claire: Thank you for helping me.
(Iz bes mez. Youz?)
*ignores her*
You've stopped. Good girl. Defy me, and your day will keep getting worse... in imaginative new ways.
Now stop snarling at me.
(*huggles Danni*)
(I'm really happy thank you (for reasons you probably already know) *smiles*)
(Gar, whatcha playin'?)
*laughs*
I could cry.....I wish we could have just one more SP book. I didn't buy AOH because on Christmas I'm going to get it and cry over my last new SP book. I know I'm not in it so I won't try to speed read it.
*closes eyes* I remember....*sounds like the bit of Nathan singing in Repo during Night Surgeon*
-Zaf
Sil2: *growls and snarls*
hey guys....I feel like letting Zavel come on, I will try to jump in but wbd.-Zaf
(nothing, not until Friday when ac rouge comes out, Tia
how be you anyway?)
Claire: Why are you helping me?
(@Zaf I didn't enjoy AOH that much. Sorry. I prefer longer stories.)
*glares*
You want to lose another finger, Sil?
(gtg, night everyone! *hugs everyone who's on*)
(Ok, Gar...I might stream Crysis 2 on Twitch, if you wanna have a look.)
(Bye Zaffy and Chi!
*hugggles both*)
Because..you aren't that bad
*smiles, showing fangs* You wanna be drained dry Tanya?
*swings at her again*
You will learn your place!
I'm here....I'm just distant. I'm going to rp as ZafTC a bit....-Zaf
Claire: Why did you start helping me?
(I am here my darlings)
(Goodnight Chi *huggles*)
(i haven't played crysis 2 yet I've only played crysis 3 (<good game) i think about it Tia, thank you for the offer and what console do you play?)
Because I was bored and the discipline sounded fun.
Sil2: *jerks free of Tanya's hand (the one grabbing her throat) and dodges the swing* YOU will learn YOUR place!
*clamps down on her neck, ripping her head to the left in hopes of literally ripping her throat out*
(*Kisses Chi goodbye*
So what have I missed?)
(I need to punch something *eyes up wall*)
(Pillow, Inky.)
Claire: Oh, okay...
(there is not a pillow in the vicinity
my sister is being bullied by some bitch
and my sister is really sensitive)
(I have played it on 360 but I no longer own a console - this is on PC)
twitch.tv/tiacain
And you seemed alright.
(No webcam either :/
I'm sorry, Chloe. I know it sucks but I don't know what to do.)
(tis Okay Kassy
the thing is my sisters confidence has gone down so much and this girl is really nasty)
(@Tia I did reply..)
Claire: Do you have any ideas who the mage could be, yet?
The bitch? Please say she's the bitch, then I have reason to kill her..
*panics, pulling out a sneaky dagger*
*hits Silente with it, but doesn't see where as her head is otherwise occupied*
Sil2: *cries out and lets go as a knife pierces her side*
*snarls angrily and slaps the knife away, pinning Tanya fully*
Submit.
(I love this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFSIm3Zeecg)
Claire: ... I was thinking Kate... But then I realised It'd be too obvious, you know?
*sighs* Yeah I suppose.
(Wbd playing Crysis 2, feel free to check out the stream. Keep in mind I won't be watching stream comments though)
You're no better than me!
*launches herself at Sil, trying to bite*
Claire: So I really don't know... Not yet.
Mmmm..that's probably not good...
Sil2: *grabs Tanya by her heavily bleeding throat, forcing her to the ground* Give. Up.
There's a girl who got my friend 3 days of ISS for no reason.-Zaf
(Internal Security Services? International Space Station?)
Claire: ... Maybe not? How are you?
(I thought it meant Im So Sorry)
(Ah thanks for clearing that up ^^
how art thou?)
