Soldier Boy - Chapter Two

The adventures of Simon Fowlers continues in the second chapter of Soldier Boy now posted on Fictionpress so please go and read it for me. And as always, please let me know what you think. This story, once again, is going to have many characters and a lot of mythology/fantasy elements to it so if it interests you, please read and review.

I am going to do something different with this story since I like to explore different techniques in regards to my writing and for this story, it is going to be split and will follow two seperate plotlines. One line is going to follow Simon, Lily and Marcus (characters introduced in chapter two) and the other line is going to follow Molly, Hawkin, Alice and the other Mogue soldiers. Each story is going to converge together in later chapters and I am really excited to see how Soldier Boy turns out. Thank you in advance for reading and reviewing. I hope this story turns out alright.

Oh yay! I'm so excited now. Chapter two is amazing. Lily is a little cutie, solving Rubiks' cubes. I love your style of writing. You create your characters and when you write a romance for them you develop it so well. It's amazing. I don't really know how to explain it.

I remember reading Wonderwall last year when I first came across your stories and loving it but A Pocketful Of Poppies is even better. But that's just because you've grown as a writer and your style has changed for the better.

I'm not criticising you, quite the contrary in fact. Wonderwall is still quite possibly my favourite, along with The Prettiest Thing, of your stories but A Pocketful of Poppies delves much deeper into each character and you get a clearer picture of each.

I love The Flower Girl and Soldier Boy as well. So much different to what's out there. I know fantasy/supernatural stories can be difficult to write but you do it beautifully and still are able to include a love story (or two!).

PS Oh my I didn't realise how long I rambled on. Sorry!

I'm so excited for this story, you have no idea. It seems like it's going to be great! Lily is adorable, and I love that Hawkin and Molly have a daughter. I can't wait for more!

I'm loving this story already! Lily is too adorable, I love that she's a daddy's girl as well so cute! I'm dying to find out what's going to happen in the next chapter!

I like that Molly can still see Brookston, I wish he wasn't dead :( Hope you update soon!

Hey Kate!

Happy Friday! Your two plot lines sounds good. The little girl you have to portray as Lily is right on and she's adorable as well.

Thank you for being so creative.

:) Will we know why Molly and Hawkin ended up having Lily only after so long together?
Just wondering!

:) Like the new idea! Look forward to reading more!

Hey Kate!

I was listening to Sara Bareilles today and this song called "Bottle It Up" reminds me of you and the criticisms you've been getting about your writing. So I dedicate this song to you and the response you should have to the haters or the constant criticism. And these are my interpretation of the lyrics. The lyrics in all caps are people trying to tell you how or what to write. And the rest of the lyrics is what your response is to the critics and the haters. I was bored, haha.

I do it for love, love love love
I do it for love, love love love

THERE'LL BE GIRLS ACROSS THE NATION
THAT WILL EAT THIS UP
BABE I KNOW THAT IT'S YOUR SOUL BUT COULD YOU BOTTLE IT UP AND
GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF IT,

No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again my love love love love.
Love love love love.
I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
Love love love love
Love Love love love
Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love, Love, Love, Love
I do it for Love
Love, Love, Love

WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE SENITMENT YOU'RE SAYIN TO US
OH, BUT SENSIBLE SELLS SO COULD YOU KINDLY SHUT UP
AND GET STARTED AT KEEPING YOUR PART OF THE BARGAIN AW PLEASE
LITTLE DARLIN'

You're killing me sweetly with love love love love
Love love love love
Only thing I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be
Love, Love, Love, Love
I do it for Love
Love, Love, Love
Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with her back
Against the wall.
You meant to make me happy make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here.
Love you're all I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love, Love, Love, Love
I do it for love, love, love, love
Oh, only gonna get get what you give away,
So give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Love.

Greetings, I believe your web site could possibly be
having web browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look at your site
in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.
I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other than that, wonderful blog!
