Help Me Get Some Writing Done

Hello All,

So it seems like my biggest problem with writing is that I'm easily distracted and start working on another project just as I start growing bored with the one I'm working on.
So I need some help.
I'm going to introduce you to three different characters from three different novels. One is from a possibly trilogy, a "journey" story, and the other two are fairytale retellings.

Tell me what you think when you:

Meet Maya:


She's wanted for a crime she didn't commit.

She's trapped in a castle with a self-loathing monster.

She's timid and loyal to a fault.

She will risk her future, her life, and her love.

She can see beyond the exterior and understand a person's true soul.

She will be forced to choose between being with the one she loves, or allowing him to live.






Meet Maya Frye, a beauty stuck in a beast of a situation.


Meet Phyre:

She's a princess, with a dangerous secret:

She's a fire weaver.

All of the weavers of the world have been killed because they are too dangerous for normal society, especially the fire and earth weavers, who have the ability to cause so much destruction.

She's been sent on a mission to save her people and her kingdom.

She's on the brink of losing everything.

She's scared, but she keeps moving forward.

She is in a lot of danger if anyone finds out what she is, and who she is looking for.



Meet Phyre, the Valley Princess of Fire.


Meet Cordelia:


She's looking for her sisters and trying to break a curse that she's lived with all her life

-she turns into a swan.

She knows her father isn't quite what he seems, but she never thought it could be as bad as it is.

She knows she shouldn't trust anyone with her secret.

She knows her father will be furious when he finds out what she's been doing.

She knows the woods are dangerous, but
she also knows that Samuel will die if she doesn't help him find his way out.

She doesn't know that she's falling in love, and
that's the most dangerous thing she doesn't know.

Meet Cordelia, the Swan Princess.


So what do you think of these lovely ladies? I know it's not much to go on, but I can't reveal much more of their characters without divulging too much of their stories and plots, and I don't want to do that just yet.

So please please please! Comment or FB or Twitter or Tumblr message me what you think of my girls, so I can pick a story to stick to this summer!

Thank you for reading,
Amy Liz

Absence...

Hello All,

Sorry I've been a little absent lately, but you see...I made a tumblr

It's mostly about what I love best about Disney with some splashes of whatever I'm currently obsessing over at the moment, like Legend of Korra, Smash, and stuff like that.

Also, the semester is almost over, so there's been a lot of homework and a lot of projects, finals to get ready for, and my shows are closing up, not to mention the literally CONSTANT search for an internship that won't completely waste my time this summer.

Another thing consuming my brain-space is the thought of what I'll be doing next semester in terms of working at school with the Emerson Channel. 
My friend Tara and I have pitched a show and we don't know if it's getting picked up or not and it's been like two weeks since we've heard anything, but we keep hearing rumors that we're not sure we can trust but how freaking AWESOME would it be to produce our own show?!?
Also, even though I've been on the show since forever, I always get nervous at the end of a semester about my status on Good Morning Emerson. I love this show and would literally sell my soul to the devil to keep working on it, and I always pray that the new producers won't be like "well, we should give someone ELSE a chance to work on this show," so there's that stress. I eventually want to senior produce the show with Tara, but right now I'm still figuring out what that might entail, so I'm working on just taking on more responsibilities and learning more about all of the different positions and stuff.
Which brings me to... figuring out what I want to do for OTHER shows next year.
I am 1000% positive that I never ever EVER want to segment produce again, because it is the most annoying job in the world and I have so much respect for people who do it over and over again.
I really want to get into technical directing, which can be super difficult because you work with this:


SO


MANY


BUTTONS!!!




I know a lot of people really respect a good TD, so I'd like to be one of those. Or a good director, but idk if I have the attention-span for that kind of work. 

So yes, I hope to be getting back to blogging very quickly, now that things are winding down.

Thanks for reading,
Amy Liz
