I'm Really Thankful...

I am so happy. My mind is running rampant with ideas for my story, and I have finally gotten a picture up of the Car AI (artifical intelligence) that will be starring in the first book of a series that I can't even name yet (since my mind has kinda run dry with ideas). The picture to the left of these words is what the AI will look like. I still haven't got a name for him yet, though. I listed it last post but nobody commented, so I'm mentioning it again. I'll set up a poll for it, and I expect you to vote. Please. Thanks. I'll continue to write, but I will have to stop when I come to the part where Andi (the main character) meets the AI. I might just lose the inspiration if I do.

I'll also set up a poll for the title of the book as well. But first, I have to show you the summary. :) When you read it, please tell me if you have any ideas.

Andrea "Andi" Anderson is a normal homeschooled girl. She loves horses and lives on a farm. One day, her life is flipped upside down when she is kidnapped. She quickly learns that her captors want her for a specific - and a farfetched and rediculous - reason. Andi, it seems, is a hero that is from another world. Her captors use her to travel to this fantasy world full of Lord of the Rings like magic so that they may be able to obtain enough power to take over Earth and crown their leader - a sixteen year old boy named Fletcher Knight - as king. But before Fletcher can put his plans into action, they are put under threat as a man who has the power that Fletcher wants finds out about Andi. Now they must team up in order to stop this man, and Fletcher learns that being good and being a hero is a lot better than being bad.

How was that?

Please tell me...

Exciting News ~ Book Update

So, I have finally gotten my mind to work again and ideas are just pouring in for one of the stories I had started probably a year ago. I see so much potential for it that I'm giddy. You should see my face right now, I'm smiling!

Now, I've gotten most of the characters down pat. The plots good, and I'm setting my chapters up a special way. Here's how I've set up Chapter One:

POV character: Andrea is riding her horse when she notices a strange car sitting at the end of her driveway.

Goal: She wants to keep an eye out to see if she spots it again.

Conflict:  Car follows her everywhere, and chases her several times.

Disaster:  She is captured.


I have come to the part where she has spotted the car, but not much else. If I can get my school done quickly, I may be able to get some more written.

Now, there's a character in it that is going to be very special, but I'm having trouble naming him, and it is really getting on my nerves. I just want to be able to name him and feel comfortable. He's an AI (Artifical Intelligence), and of course, I decided that his name was going to be an acronym. And a acronym of what? That was my question. Here's what I've been able to think up:
  • (CRUISE) Corporation Racket UnIversal Seven Eion.
  • (CRUISE) CoRporation one thoUsand 'In SevEn.
  • (CORD) CORporation Destiny.
  • (KNOTT) KNight Operations Three Thousand.
  • (BUCK) Blast immUne security Car of the Knights.
  • (MARK) Machine of ARtifical intelligence by Knight.
  • (MIK) Machine Intelligence of Knight.
  • (ETHAN) Excaliber of The Heroic Artifical intelligeNce.
I think I had more, but I can't remember... oh well, I'll update with that some time.

So which one do you think? The AI is going to be a car...a Honda Crosstour!
