Do you ever?

Do you ever just feel random? Do you ever just feel out of place? Do you ever feel at home? Do you ever feel rebellious? Do you ever feel like...

"Tonight's gonna be a good night! Tonight's gonna be a good, good night!" (this part of the song I heard once or twice is currently stuck in my head, but I don't mind. Because I'm feeling like sharing more pieces of dialogue from the Remmington Pirates Series)

So here be some random parts that could go anywhere, well maybe not just anywhere in the Remmington Pirates Series, but I think I have a rough idea as to where though. BUT I will not say, because even I am not entirely certain.

On board a ship...
     "We'll be blowin' to smitherings," said Hobbes (Jacob's pirate, ship cook).
      "Smitherings? We'll not be blowin' to smitherings!" exclaimed Martha Remmington.


Somewhere with a ship or two...
     "Admiral, do we have to call it 'The Naket Lady'?" asked Jacob.
      "Absolutely," said Crazy Lou.
     "Ah. And may I ask why?" Jacob met Lou's eyes confidently.
      "Because..." Lou did not finish, but walked away, leaving Jacob to stare after him with some annoyance.


Somewhere, sometime...
    "If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it cannot by solved, worrying will do no good," said Cook Boris (Crazy Lou's pirate, ship cook).

Trying to figure out the Rest of the Word.

I am working on the mystery of this, which is still a mystery to me how it's going to really play out. ;)
     This journal once belonged to the ancient Pirate of Old or maybe it's not a pirate, maybe he's something else, I don't know yet. I'm still thinking about it. At any rate, this journal helps to find the Ultimate Treasure. It's important. In this scene Alexandra is studying it - after her, Martha, Jane, Gavin, Tom and Jacob had a near death experience in getting it...


      Alexandra opened the old journal. Right away she saw that part of the third page was torn off, leaving the end of a word - "tic" - along with other words.
     "Give me a word that ends with 'tic,'" said Alex.
     “Fine, tragic,” said Gavin. 
      “Poetic,” said Alex.
      “It’s genetic,” said Gavin.
      “Chaotic,” said Tom.
      “Erratic,” said Gavin.
     “Absolutistic,” said Jane.
      “Is that even a word?” asked Tom.
      “Yes,” said Jane as Jacob talked over them.
      “Ecstatic,” said Jacob.
       “Fantastic,” said Gavin.
       “Thank you,” said Alex.
       “Sarcastic,” said Gavin.
      “Psychotic,” said Alex.
      “Characteristic,” said Jacob.   
      “It’s romantic," said Martha. Everyone stared at her.
      “That’s pathetic,” said Alex.  
      “Or charismatic,” said Tom.  
       “Yeah, no, it’s unrealistic,” said Gavin.   
       “That’s drastic,” said Jane.   
       “Dynamistic,” said Jacob. 
       “Fanatic,” said Martha.   
       “That’s dramatic,” said Tom.   
       “Gigantic,” said Jane.   
       “Idealistic,” said Tom.  
        “Idiotic,” said Jane.   
       “Or programmatic,” said Alex.   
        “Irritionalistic,” said Gavin.   
        “That’s not even a word,” said Alex.   
         “Hypnotic,” said Martha.  
        “How would you know?” challenged Gavin.  
        “Naturalistic,” said Tom.    
        “Because it’s unheard of,” said Alex.   
         “Parasitic,” said Jane glaring at Tom.   
         “You need to get out more,” said Gavin.   
         “Problematic,” said Tom glaring at Jane.  
          “Definitely not majestic,” said Jacob.   
         “I do get out, thank you very much!” Alex glared at Gavin.   
         “Optimistic,” said Martha.  
          “Tactic,” said Jacob.   
         “Hmhm, sure you do,” said Gavin.   
         “Militaristic,” said Martha.  
          “Aristocratic!” Tom smiled proudly.   
         “Lunatic,” said Jane.  
          “Mastic,” said Jacob.                      
          “Mystic,” said Martha.   
         “Good grief,” said Dr. B.   
          “Psychotic,” said Tom.  
         “Already have it!” said Alex.  
          “What? Really?” asked Tom.   
         “Were you even listening?” asked Jacob.  
          “Mathematic,” said Gavin.   
         “Yes, of course I was,” said Tom.    
         “Adventuristic,” said Jane.   
         “I doubt it,” said Jacob.  
         “Not a word!” said Alex, writing all the others down on a blank sheet of paper.
           Jane glared at her sister.  
          “Alphabetic,” said Martha proudly.  
          “Sympathetic,” said Jacob.  
          “Brilliant!” said Alex.  
          “Pessimistic,” said Tom.  
          “Have ye a ‘nough words endin’ in ‘tic,’ Miss Alex,” asked Seraphim – a member of Gavin’s crew.



These are some old/ancient journals I'm looking at for inspiration of what it might look like...

Fighting Off Bad Guys in My Workout??

I worked out for an hour and a half today! Though I'm counting the hour of walking to and from the grocery store as the half hour part. I feel GREAT! I did not want to stop that hardcore hour! It was fun! practicing fighting off bad guys ;)

Katie, my sister, walked in after her class and saw me do four different kicks in a row and asked if it was one of the forms or if i made it up myself.

I made it up myself (the combination that gets me almost 360 degrees.) It's inside crescent kick then front kick, then pivote to the left to Bob then roundhouse that person, then side-kick the person to the opposite side  then back kick the person behind me! :D

Inside Crescent kick - it's not easy...

Front Kick - keep toes together!

Bob (and weave) - that's what the guy on the left is doing.

Roundhouse

Side-Kick

Back-Kick

Yep, I imagine I'm fighting off multiple attackers and make up combinations to attack back and defend! Just like in the movies!! It makes me feel more confident in being able to defend myself if I actually visualize the actions and the person... :D So I can't wait to workout tomorrow and then the next day and the next and the...yea you get the idea ;)
But that's not ALL I do, I do jumping jacks, high knee jog in place, jump rope, back kicks, skaters, jump twist, a couple different muscle exercises, ab exercises <-- makes it a circuit training type of workout

 AND strectching.

I'm Thinkin' This Is What Book 1 is About

So a midst all my ideas for this Remmington Pirates series and trying to figure out what book one is about, it's not been easy. I'm thus throwing out this pitch. I  mean I'm sharing with you what I'm seriously considering as what for sure the first book is about, with all my subplots for the story that could be the main plot of book one, but they don't see good enough. They only seem brilliant as the subplot, because they don't satisfy me as being the main plot.

Dissatisfied

So!

WHAT BOOK 1 IS ABOUT:

Jane and Alexandra Remmington's father is at risk of losing the family estate and when they learn that Grandmamma's rare sapphire was stolen by a pirate and is a key to finding the Ultimate Treasure, they and their cousin - Martha - want to get it back, hoping the gem will buy them time to avoid a marriage without love and save their family's home. But it's not that easy, because they're not the only ones that want the sapphire.

Character Development

I steal things all the time. That's how I write my story. That's how get overloaded with so many sub-plot ideas and just want to put them ALL in the Remmington Pirates Series somehow, some way or another.

One of the things I steal is the things I hear people, I know or don't know, say. And use their personalities and try to think like they would for my character's development. Like I loosely-base some of my main and supporting characters off of someone I know.

I don't actually do that, but sometimes it feels like I'm eavesdropping on someone's words or something, even when I'm talking to them but I'm not.

Do I dare say, who Jane, Martha, and Alexandra Remmington are loosely-based off of? Or Crazy Lou?

And actually, some of my characters, like Jacob and Tom, I start seeing some of my friends in them, like they could be the same person! But they're not, just their personality. It's quite fascinating noticing someone I know or even meeting someone new and seeing alot of similarities with my characters that I've already created.
