Behind COM #4: Writer's Secrecy

I leafed through some of my old notes and edits and came across the line "Woah, Teresa" scribbled on a page I had labelled COM.

It was my handwriting for sure. But it took me nearly 30 seconds to figure out when the hell did a woman named Teresa existed in Capture Our Moments

Then, I realized ... Oh, Teresa is Thriller.

My family has no idea I'm writing this - this ... THIS ROMANCE THINGY. I'd die of embarrassment. I wrote another celebrity fanfiction when I was 14. They know about that one, because back then I was all young and innocent and super excited about writing, I told them all about it .  I didn't quite finish it, but ... oh, boy. I still remember my mother's face. She really was kinda awkward. xD

Now, in NO WAY I am letting know about this MJ one. I let slipped once that I thought Michael Jackson was cute (I do think he's very adorable and sweet), and they were all staring at me like: "... You like him? Like like?"

Uhh ... hehe. But they accepted my occasional fangirlishness and I mean, don't we all have a celebrity crush at some point? I'm just late into this particular aspect of puberty. XD

Well, just as an additional question before I move on: Do any of you make your fanfictions known to your family? :3

Ah, I have code names for most of my characters. Except Cassie, Yvonne, Heather, etc ... these names remain the same. They're safe. x)

But as for Michael ...

Alex Layer - Michael Jackson
The siblings - The children
Peter and Jasmine - Prince and Paris
Avenue Street - Neverland

Any wording referring Michael as a singer was replaced with the word "wizard". Yes, Alex Layer is a wizard.

I try to have the practice of completing whole chapters on paper (nothing beats good old pencil and paper!) and then have them typed into an OpenOffice text document. If I blindly copy word-by-word without my brain processing it much, sometimes I end up doing this:

Oh, well.

Wait. Hold on.

Before I take my leave, I've been dying to let this picture see light. 

OKAY JUST IGNORE THE WEDDING DRESS AND THE WATERMARK. 

Whoever's who in that picture - is your name Cassie Woods?

I've googling for images a long time but I just couldn't find the right picture. I tried looking in photography books afterwards and finalleh, there was this battered photoshop How-To book and flipping it page by page ... AHA, SHE IS THE ONE. Oh, you can't imagine how surprised I was. I've been looking for her for so long. :')

It's a fine tutorial book, I have to say. It even lets you download the pictures USED IN THE BOOK! So mwehehehe, that is why I managed to get the original HD photo you see up there. 

I showed this photo to MissJackson777 a year ago, I think ... Then she sent me this photo of how she imagined Cassie. It was ... oh boy. xD Ahh, twin, I can't believe you imagined Cassie to be this bespectacled, studious lady! 

I'd love, love, love, love, LOVE to see how you guys imagined Cassie in your head, too. We can't send pictures through Wattpad, so if you have a particular picture in mind, just paste a link of it in the comments. 

Bye for now, y'all sexy beasts. :3
