Total Chaos

Hey all my readers, how is school doing? School is cluttering up my day and making me tired, but I'm not complaining! My mom supplied me with an Iced Capp from Tim Hortons, so I am focused! - I think.

My major novel writing has ground to a halt, but I hope to reboot it sometime in the near future, like when I get a handle on school. Ugh, I wish I didn't have to say that word all the time. It's annoying and exhausting and it reminds me of the torture I have to endure every day until we hit some sort of holiday.

Though, on a more positive note, my birthday is coming up. On the 25th of October, it'll be my birthday. It signals that I'm one year closer to being an adult. But it also means my parents are asking what I want (presents-wise) for my birthday. Well, I don't want a major birthday party, I just want to spend it with my family. And...I want a Sonic Screwdriver...

I haven't even written up my wish-list. I don't wanna think about that at the moment...

My books...?

Well, I'm scatter-brained and, like I said before, I have hit a brick wall. I need to go bash my head against a wall...

9/11

So, yeah, I'm here. It seems I haven't been blogging lately, which is bad, but it doesn't matter. I'm blogging today to remind everyone that today, 11 years ago, the World Trade Center fell and thousands of people died. I watched it happen when I was 5. I still remember the footage I saw on the TV to this day.

So remember the innocent office workers that couldn't get out.

Remember the innocent firemen who went up to save people as the towers came down.

Remember the people on the streets that got crushed by debris because they couldn't get out of the way in time.

And remember that this could happen again, but we pray that it doesn't.

Doubts

So, I have been having trouble writing my main stories. I've hit this major writers block, though I think I can break through them. I've been doubting how my stories will be accepted by the world, but if I go by my cousin's reaction to my ideas, I think I'd do pretty good. He says that vehicles controled by artifical intelligence is "awesome". That's positive feedback from a teenager that's my age :D

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 :)
