so today as i was watching romeo and juliet, there were a lot of boring parts, so i started thinking........... and formulating.........................

and i think i've started to get a rough outline of a book. i don't know what to call it or anything, and i haven't started writing, even though i've already got a couple scenes in my head. but i'm going to ask you all for a little advice, and release a little info on it. kind of ironic really. i haven't started writing it except for character development, and venom's already got like 40 pages and nobody's read it..........

so first. one of the main characters i've decided will be a guy. first name dahlia (dah lee ah). i found it while searching through 1850's names. it's supposed to be a girl's name, but i think he could pull it off. he's gonna be totally bad a**. it's swedish, word for 'valley', and is a flower named after a swedish mr. anders dahl. mrgreen

k. but i don't need adive for that. other character will be a girl. brown hair. blue eyes (kind of rare). she's gonna be tough, too, but doesn't really fit the part. doesn't dress like it, anyway. her parents were murdered when she was little, so she makes deal with dahlia that if they work together and catch the her parent's murderer and kill him, dahlia can kill her. ya know, since i might make her something special........................... so her blood tastes good. told ya dahlia was bad a**, didn't i? so he agrees with her, since she's gotta be something good....... and she can taint her blood if she wants to......... (i haven't decided what she'll be yet. hehehe! mrgreen i love this stuff.)

so yeah. basic story line. only as the story goes on, and dahlia connects to her, can he really stand by and watch her die? when his only brother was murdered by a vampire as well?

hmmmmm........... but i haven't figured her name yet. i kind of like april, becase i like names that start with a most of the time. it's a prety word. it's also latin for 'open'. the other name would be acacia (ah KAY shah). greek, meaning thorn. in victorian language of flowers, acacia meant elegance, friendship, or secret love....................................... jamie is also a possibility, but it's a smaller one.

keep in mind they learn the other's true name later on. at first they can't trust eachother. i mean, dahlia's a vampire that turned away on his own race, and she's a desperate enough person to have herself be killed if the evil vamp dude is found and dahlia kills him....................... each thinks the other is a little wacked out.

also open to suggestions here. not only her name, but the evil dude's name. it's gotta be old, though. i looked up old names, but nothing seemed to click with him. scenes will be reviewed also, but since i've only had this in my head for a day, i'm sure to think of many in the next few days. plus i don't think you guys want to explain a scene in your head to me..................... too much work.

guess that's it for now. can't give out too many details. but then again, i just did, didn't i? rolleyes oh well. can't help it. and i need help. characters are always most important, and since i'm a character author, beautiful and fitting names are essential. 3nodding
