New Story, New Characters

So, just yesterday in my creative writing class, we were taking notes about this thing called "a writer's notebook". Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, the notes not as much, except I doodled a bunch of ants on it, but the aspect of a notebook specifically for, well, notes is something I kind of enjoy. I take a bunch of notes and I put them anywhere that's quickly available. And what was quickly available in class that day was my writer's notebook that I was taking notes in on how to use a writer's notebook. And in the middle of that and some random recollection of my trip to Catalina just this past June, I got a whole new story in my head. I had already been thinking about a character earlier in the day and then I just seemed to have a story right there for her... And it all started with what was almost like a movie in my head of her death scene. Anyways, she and her buddy have given and family names. I chose these names for a reason. Especially the given ones. And this will be my first ever frame story. The way I'm framing it is kind of modeled after Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (anyone remember that from sophomore year? Or what about the sophomores about to read it? Sophomores, don't lose hope when people tell you how hard and boring it is to read--it's not hard and it's slightly interesting. I just don't like Vincent. *ahem* Anyways...), but it's a little different. And that thing I said about a death scene earlier? Don't mind that. A lot of my characters seem as if they have death scenes. There's nothing to worry your pretty little head about, my dear reader. Well, the title is still being decided, but the main characters have their names, and the first frame has been created. Also, the way my boyfriend's hair just happened to fall while I was messing with it yesterday seemed just perfect for one of the characters, so thank you, boyfriend, for allowing me to take a picture for reference so I can better draw it out. The main characters, by the way, are Aidan Allaway and Gwyneira MacEnchroe. I chose Aidan so as not to recycle the name Aedh, which is actually where Aidan comes from. Now, I am going to end this post, which is good for my god awful computer typing skills, and talk more of names some other time. I will also introduce you, my "beloved" readers, to characters some other time. Until then, farewell.
