MM ch1 Summ@ry+An@Lysis-->

Just finished writing chapter 1 and im so PROUD of myself. ive done the summary over and over so many times and enjoyed it eachtime. but after looking at the one i wrote in my composition book and comparing it to the actual writing itself that i intend to post after i finish the story, i didnt write it out as i had expected. things, like the background plot have changed. but i gotta say that i definitely like what i see.

writing about alice's story was easy and fun though. i wanted so much to add parts of her vampire self in there to make a sort of connection, so i put her weaving through people gracefully and swaying her hips while talking to carlisle (which seemed a little sensual but vampirically sensually so in a way). stephenie meyer is always comparing alice's grace to something that would make a ballerina cry. why not show that she always loved to dance around as a human? that's also where her ability to predict Christian's moves as he chased her. eventually her good sense of judgement and prediction will make her into a psychic vampire.

the dream was something i wrote while listening to Linkin Park and Wild Horses, by Natasha Bedingfield. Wild Horses was perfect for getting me in the mood to write the sadness and dreamlife mood for the..er..dream. also take good notice that her hair is long and spread out in what she calls is something 'like a vampire'. just a little hint there :)

one of those subtle connections that will continue to flit into the story here and there! the whole fact that jasper was singing doesnt have anything to do with edward's lullaby whatsoever as some people guess. i used it as an excuse for alice to go looking for jasper other than the obvious fact that she's attracted to his animosity to her (everyone's unbearably nice to the poor weak girl). i keep hoping that jasper would give her his mp3 player so she can listen to the music he was listening to to as he worked, the song that she heard in her dreams. til i remembered that they were in the 1920s. no mp3 players no cd players. :'( singing would work just nicely tho i guess...
