Contest -Posponed/ended

So Jake has posponed/ended the contest because of family...stuff...and that his story is going to turn out a lot longer than he expected it would. That is a big relief for me, though, because my story is coming a lot slwer than I wanted it to. :)

Right now, I'm watching a Doctor Who marathon, and writing. I'm in blissful serenity. :D

Onward to the 15th!

So, Ashley and Jason's debut novel is being put on a back burner until I get a few books published. I'm just putting that out there for you. Jake over at Teenage Writer has challenged his readers to finish a novel before he finishes his on the 15th of August. So what am I gonna do? I'm going to accept the challenge. Why? 'Cause I'm a challenge loving girl, that's why!

The novel I'll be working on is called...

Mountain Park

...See? It's going to be a thriller where a girl get's lost up by the ghost town of Mountain Park. It's just her and her cat against the world.

Pray that I can beat Jake!

Plotting...

So I've got a small character line-up for the story. I've been thinking, also, that I'll publish a few stand-alone stories before I publish this one so that I have a little bit of popularity first. Nobody's going to make a movie out of a newbies book...

Oh well.

So the character's are:

Main Characters:
Ashley Burns
Jason Ravenwood-Small
SAM - Small industries Automated Machine

Secondary Characters:
Samuel Burns (Ash's grandfather)
Chase Small (Jason's father)
Carter Westman (friend of Ash's; hacker)

That's all I have currently. I'll keep you posted.

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

So...my muses are finally coming back to me.

But...the reason I haven't posted for a while was because of school before my computer died on me. I had to get a new one. And now I'm sitting in a cool house while the air outside is hot enough to cook a egg on the asphalt. Hmmm...maybe I should try doing that. I'm sure there's an egg in the fridge somewhere... or maybe not, since me and my bro are allergic to eggs - no no no! No that kind of allergic. If I eat an egg, I won't die. It's just my intestines can't handle it and I have a leakage somewhere that allow non-fully-digested food into my bloodtream...I think.

Now: the reason why my muses are coming back.

I'm clearing all of the storys I had up (since I lost them with my computer...poor laptop) and working on one.

And you know what gave me fire to start writing full force again? This:

The writer Cornelia Funke dedicated the story Inkheart to Brendan Fraser because when she created the character Mortimer Folchart, she was thinking of him. And Mr. Fraser is a pretty popular actor. He ended up being the actor to play Mortimer in the movie.

Sooo... I would to do something similar.

So I'm going to base one of the characters in my story off of this fellow:

Shia Saide LaBeouf. The character he inspired goes by the name of Jason Eric Ravenwood-Small. But his signature would only contain this much of his name: Jason E. Ravenwood. Hopefully, the publisher would allow me to dedicate the story to him. 'Cause if the book becomes a movie...well...he would make a great Jason.

So that's what rekindled my writing :)
