100 things - Writing

[herumtreiber]

In Twilight:

Writing Jacob feels like crossing a bay on a sailing boat. The breeze is all around you and you can hear the sound of the water breaking against the hull, but you have to trim the sails precisely and tack into the wind. 

You have to watch what Jake knows, or imagine how he acquired that knowledge.

Writing Edward is like crossing that bay on a racing boat. You just push down the lever, the engine roars to life and the boat skitters over the sea; the speed is exhilarating. You can write almost anything really, because Edward probably has heard about it or witnessed it firsthand in his long existence.

But there are certain things that only Jake can say - that only he knows – and you treasure that.

"Sure, sure." I understood the need he felt to be near his imprint was overwhelming. My fingers touched the cold doorknob, and I shivered at the thought of losing my will just like that. Hated the imprint so much!

Like my best friend, the imprint could get me some day. I'd fall for a random girl or guy and would have to leave Edward, which made my heart throb painfully.

"Don't you feel… forced?" Seeing Quil's puzzled expression, I said, "You know, feeling this pull toward Claire?"

"Nope, Jake. Feels like the most natural thing in the world." He started walking away and called over his shoulder. "Just wait until you imprint. It's the coolest thing ever!"

Your discription of how writing Jake feels ,is also the discripion of what was one of the happiest periods of my life .

Now I can feel that breeze again and hear the waves break and I remember the feeling of dried salt on my skin.

If writing Jake makes you feel like I felt back then, you must be one hell of a lucky guy!:)

Your discriptions are as beautiful as your story's are!

The sea is so beautiful; the breeze and the salty air, the vitality - and the feelings remain.

It does make me feel a bit like that, that I'm riding some kind of wave that cuts across many boundaries. It's hard but rewarding :)

Thank you very much for your kind comment!
