The Journey and the Shuttle: What Came After.

A prince with a love of the sea undergoes a terrible shipwreck and wakes, briefly, while being rescued by a mermaid. Obsessed now, he requests the help of a land witch and gives up his “charm” - looks and speech - for a tail. Silent, disfigured, and lost beneath the waves, he discovers that though he can breathe, every breath he takes feels like fire in his chest. Still, he hopes to find the mermaid who saved him and someday earn her heart… 

A young, beautiful wolf with a coat as red as blood is off to visit her grandmother - now living in another pack. She’s warned by her mother not to approach the path, for humans lurk there. However, the pup ignores her mother’s advice, lured away by a girl’s tempting treats, and later at dusk, when she finally arrives at grandmother’s, a whole group of hunters sets upon the pack… 

A young man is selected to keep a fearful ‘beast’ company, living in a castle far out in the woods. Yet when he arrives, he finds not a beast, but the most gorgeous woman the land has ever seen… one who claims to be under a spell. She is not human and utterly despises this form, but the spell will not be broken until someone loves her for reasons beyond her appearance. This man, gentle and well-read, may one day look past her beauty and if he does, he may still love the ‘beast’ that then springs forth…

Moana, 2016

*curtsies* I’d actually suggest the same thing I suggest to anyone trying to stay focused on school or writing. If you’re sitting behind a desk at a computer, avail yourself of Pacemaker and Strict Workflow and Coffitivity if that helps you stay focused. Working in 25-minute chunks is a lot less intimidating than just sitting down to work an 8-hour day, and if you can stay focused for just 25 minutes at a time, the day will go by much faster. Alternatively–if you’re up on your feet and not at a computer–buy a watch. Really. Buy a watch and set it to go off at half hour or hour intervals and give yourself a five-minute break to clear your head, even if you literally just pause what you’re doing and thing about something else for that time.
