Heart of the Ocean - Current Project
This is my beloved pet project. I've had the idea for a long time, wrote a little bit of it last year, and finally came back to it this year. My families come from Ireland and Scotland, so those countries and everything that comes with them are near and dear to my heart. In other words, I'm a sucker for anything having to do with them. I love the people, I love the language; I love the landscape and the mythology. Just, everything.
So, here is the first little tidbit of my homage to my Irishness.
Heart of the Ocean - Part I
PS: I know that's the title of that song from Titanic. It was the name of a traditional Irish song first. ;)
PSS: Some of the names are in Gaelic. So here's a pronunciation guide.
-Teag: Tyg
-Inis Oírr: Inisheer
-curragh: kur-ah
-Caireann: Kahr-inn
-Faolan: Fway-lahn

WOW Sara . . . this is INCREDIBLE . . . you really are an AMAZING, gifted writer!!! I can hardly wait to read more . . .
WOW . . .
I LOVE reading your stuff . . . (BTW, have you ever read LLoyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles? I absolutely LOVE those books . . . they are loosely based on celtic legends, and the names in them are like the names in your story. I think Disney made one into an animated film, but for the life of me I can NOT think of the name of it . . . ) Anyhow if you are unfamiliar with the books, you might enjoy them. They are some of my favorites! =o)
The Black Cauldron?
The one with Gurgie!
yup, she's talking about the black cauldron...
I've never read those ones either, strangley. I should...
Oh yeah, and Sara this was great!!! I love to read your stuff too, whenever you post it ;o)
I am SOOOO just waiting for the rest of the story here though =o)
MORE MORE!!!! That's awesum
Thank you, everybody! I'll try to put more up tomorrow, assuming Christmas shopping doesn't wipe me out. :D
In case you all don't know, Sara started writing stories in about the third grade. I have a folder full of her early stuff. There's even a Sci Fi piece! Maybe she can help me set up something so they can be posted for you to read?!?
Anyway, where's the next installment, Sweetie?
This is AWESOME Sara! I'm reading this a bit later than everyone else and I'm wondering ... where in the world is the next installment! I'm really not a patient person ya know! LOL! I think you need to post warnings on your blog entries. WARNING: This piece does NOT have an ending! It will drive you crazy because I either won't write one or you are going to have to wait a long time before I post one. LOL!
Who or what are -Caireann: Kahr-inn and -Faolan: Fway-lahn? This is taking quite a while...
