Work In Progress: Here's the DL

Here's the DL

Alright, folks. So as you all *hopefully* know, I have been playing around in my mind whether or not to actually write a story telling the tale of my high school life, but making it more fictional and not as auto-biographical as one might think. And I've decided...YES! It'll be very slow and rough to begin with since I'm not sure and solid on a few details, but the title of the story (thanks to my dad) is Colt 45.

[This is a Colt .45]

Origins:
The story is in my POV, but not entirely about my life. It is actually about my friend's life and her struggles. I'm only the one bystanding it all and living her struggles as I live my own. So I liked the idea of calling myself a Peacemaker, since I'm sort of this mediator in her life while she goes through high school. I bounced the idea off of my dad, and he liked it. So at first the title was going to be "The Peacemaker", but then my dad said that there was a certain type of gun in the old west that was called the Peacemaker, and that was the Colt.45. It was referred to as the peacemaker because it made people do whatever the holder wanted, so if they wanted the scuffle to cease, all they had to do was pull out their Colt.45 and state their wishes, and they'd most likely be followed, because the colt.45 was not a gun to be messed with. Anyways, the title has nothing to do with a liquor called Colt 45! Just thought I should clear that up with all you boozers out there.

So, the title could change, but in the meantime I'll be referring to the story with the current title.

As to the story, here are the main characters at the moment:
-Kaylee Foster
-Victoria Jackman
-Nathan Blake

These are the ones I've written about at least. There are plenty of characters but I haven't had a need to use them yet. But I haven't written much...so don't worry!

Thanks to all of you who will eventually be my inspiration(I hope...).

The feeds will automatically send watchers updates, so we don't have to keep checking this page to see -if- it's been updated! :) Again, just a suggestion, and perhaps something you don't need if you don't plan on having a larger audience reading this, yet.; September 25, 2007 at 6:45 PM

In-Depth Profile of Celeste Hales

Celeste is a sweet, innocent, and very energetic person with enough personality to fill the entire universe. Her heart is huge and she's as selfless as a growing teen can be. Though she is young in body, she acts older than she really is, determined to be at the same level as Tori. What she doesn't realize is that she has surpassed Tori in many aspects of life and is the key to helping Tori through many of her messes in life.
On top of being one of Tori's greatest friends, Celeste is an amazing musician, incredibly intelligent person, and a very nice person to all she meets. She has parents who, though very protective, are very encouraging of her ambitions. She has a great home life, a slightly challenging and distressing school life, and friends that put up with her constant up-beat energy.

In-Depth Profile of Emerson Armstrong

Emerson is 20 years old and dropped out of college after being too frivolous with his money and realizing he can't afford it any more. His parents expect him to be something amazing, but he doesn't know what he wants and strives to search for who he is and what he seeks in life. He eventually finds himself in Missouri and meeting a man named Melvin who embodies everything he wishes he were. He's getting a degree in his future profession, has a fiance, and a loving family who supports him in all his decisions. Through the man, he meets Tori and accidentally finds himself intrigued by her passion and mature mindset. Sadly, though, there are barriers in his way: Thomas is Tori's older brother and very protective. But they maintain a safe and friendly relationship, giving each other insight into each other's lives and helping each other in ways they won't realize until much later.

In-Depth Profile of Victoria Jackman

Victoria, who hates to be called by her full name, goes by Tori and has a larger-than-life personality. She approaches things with a headstrong attitude and a non-nonchalant behavior, giving people the notion that she is stuck up or "snoody." She's quite understanding and friendly. She has multiple talents and has a hard time making up her mind about both silly and important things. In the story, she finds herself unintentionally smitten with Emerson who unknowingly sweeps her off her feet, and while she deals with the conflicts of school she has to deal with her own emotions and internal battles with Emerson.
