This year's goals

Ok, everyone. Here are this year's writing goals.

For a while, I'm going to take a break from The Digger's Daughter. However, I want to finish it BEFORE summer vacation. (Giving myself a few months...) The revision is pretty much re-writing it... And when I first wrote it I thought it was so GOOD! Sob! Oh, well...

While I break from Artemis, and all those guys, I'm going to be working on The Name of the Game. I want to get through chapter 5 (depending on how long that takes) before I go back to The DD. (Digger's Daughter)

Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off... Then I can start looking at publishers. I have a second cousin who could help, and my mom knows someone who knows someone who works at Scholastic, so that should help... Although it might hurt my chances if they know I'm a kid... I'm only a teen, after all. (And don't you think my stuff is all the better because of it?)

Happy Halloween!

Cheerio, peeps!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!<3 <3 <3

Lol!!!! Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Cheerio, peeps!

(Picture done by this guy.)

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, you read the title right. There's a birthday on Halloween.

Happy birthday, Nathaniel!

I don't have any pictures to show you. His name is because of The Bartimaeus Trilogy. So, I will tell you the story of how he was created. Or, really, more like the story of how he evolved. Lol.

When I was writing The Digger's Daughter solely for English class, I wanted to add some new characters in for a bit of mystery, add some more interest to the story. So I added Thomas. I thought he was cool, but he needed something more. I added a connection to Artemis' father. Then it didn't seem enough. I changed his age to 13, and his eye color to green, to try and give him to Art... Needless to say, it didn't work. I changed Thomas back and added James. I decided they needed one of those wonderful little brothers... You know, the kind that are your age and they have this weird sense of humor and style? They're really smart, sometimes smarter than older siblings. (like Thomas (Sorry, but I had to make him like that...))

Ah, never mind... It only works out for people who are kids, usually around that age. Oh well.

Happy 14th birthday, Nathaniel!!!!!

Ok, I need to add something for him... How about a math (Sorry people, but he REALLY loves math. Almost as much as Artemis. Lol. I need to give him SOMETHING!!)

Lol! We watched this video in school last year!!! His voice in funny!

Happy birthday Nathaniel!

Cheerio, peeps!

Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!

I <3 Halloween!!!!!
Heard this on the radio a few hours ago... Freaky as heck! HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Rock on! Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheerio, peeps!!!!!

bored out of my mind

Right now I am so freakishly bored it's not even funny that I'm bored because I have no homework... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Ok, for Lit we have to write stories for our 2nd grade partners. Since there are more people in our grade than theirs some people have the same person. Infublo and I got a little girl named Sophie. So, I'm using some characters and some of the same places as in my book The Name of the Game. The weird thing is that Infublo has a field like mine, creepy people like I do, she has a little bit of a Narnia base like I do, and her place is not affected by time, like a certain place in my book, that I don't feel like going into right now. (Maybe later...) WTF?!?!?!?!!!???? The world has gone mad!!!!!

Cheerio, peeps!

I'd like to buy a hearing aid sketch...

My name is Bridget Evelyn Colons. I am goth. I don't care what anyone says, I am perfectly allowed to be goth, even though I'm nine. My mother would really rather have a nasty little girly-girl, but she's stuck with me. One of my brothers is wonderful, but the other is so mean. I am a photographer. I am Bridget Evelyn Colons.

My name is Artemis Emma Roswell. I can see the future. In a way, more or less. It's complicated... I play many musical instruments. My main two are piano and harp, though. (Yes, harp.) I write short stories with my mum. I am in love with a boy named Nathaniel Ian Legard. His father is my father's rival, as they are both archeologists. His father is Dieudonne Legard, and he wants to kill me. I am Artemis Emma Roswell.

My name is Olivia Juliet Carwin. I have know Artemis since we were three, and we are best friends. I could say we are sisters. My mother works with her father, while my father lives in France, as a photographer. He and his new wife own a fashion company, which my sister helps own. My brother is an artist. I have been through everything with Artemis. I am Olivia Juliet Carwin.

My name is Nicolaus Antioco Palmas. I moved from Italy when I was 7 and have been friends with Olivia and Artemis since then. I know everything that they have been through, and everything that has happened to us all since Dieudonne Legard and his sons came into our lives. I am Nicolaus Antioco Palmas.

My name is Nathaniel Ian Legard. My father is a criminal, a traitor and a murderer. Both my brothers agree, as does my sister. I am the youngest of the four of us. My mother died when I was eight. I love Artemis Emma Roswell, even though I am sure I shouldn't. It is complicated, more so than I care to explain... I am Nathaniel Ian Legard.

What'd you think? These are some of my most developed characters, although not Bridget, so much... I FINALLY figured out how to end the series! Fay and Infublo gave me the idea... But I'm not gonna say anything for a while...

Cheerio, peeps!

(Hooray! I've been trying to figure out how to end the series for EVER!!!!!)

White Collar is one of the most awesomest shows EVER!!!!<3 <3

Voice of the Children

Yay us! My grade, and me!

Cheerio, peeps!

My name...

My name is February Hazel Bryars. I was born 666. June 6th, 1906. I am a witch. I control the elements, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. I am also an illusionist. When I am around, you may never be sure of your senses. My specialty is invisibility. I am February Hazel Bryars.

My name is Amanda Clara Tyma. My twin sister is Amelia. We are opposites. I have short, blonde hair, and blue eyes. She has long, black hair, and black eyes. I am a Sight. I will become the goddess of Contradiction. I am the opposite. I am different. I am Amanda Clara Tyma.

My name is Sage Helen Bryars. I am the niece of February Bryars, though you would never think it, if you were to look at us. Really, you would think me to be her grandmother, or even her great-grandmother. The reason for this lies years before my birth. I have the power over the printed word. I can control anything with words in or on it. I am Sage Helen Bryars.

There are the character bios for today.

Cheerio, peeps!

My name...

My name is Twilight Dawn. I am of the Whispers clan, the most powerful of all. To the humans, I suppose the name of our clans would be called our surnames. Well, in that case I am Twilight Dawn Whispers. I am a goddess. Don't let my age fool you. I am, in fact, thousands of years old. I may look ten, but I may change my age, almost at will. I am a goddess. I rule the dawn, the dusk, and the young. I am a creation, I was never human. I am Twilight Dawn Whispers, goddess of Dawn, Dusk, and Youth.

My name is Thanatos Whispers. I was once a human, with a different name. My name was James Ward. But now I am Thanatos. I was born in 1762. I do not think I was ever really a human. But, of course I wasn't. I was always a Sight. And forevermore I will now be an Adamas. I am the god of Death, and of healing. For, with a death you need healing. And there cannot be healing without death, however you care to argue. I know it to be true. I have a sister, dear to me. Her name is Twilight Dawn Whispers. My name is Thanatos Whispers.

My name is Mariposa Fauna. I am not really in a clan. For there are only a few real clans. For the most part, we all just follow the Whispers clan. That is what my best friend is part of. Her name is Twilight Dawn Whispers. I was once a human. I do not remember my name, nor when it was. I am a lost child of time. Though, oddly enough, I do not mean Lady Temps. I am not sure who I mean. Perhaps I do mean of Twilight. I have a silly job, I am the goddess of flying creatures. Of insects, to be more precise. But, I am told it is important, so my job still I continue to do. My name is Mariposa Fauna.

My name is Amelia Reese Tyma. I am a Sight. I have seen death in many forms, not the least of which has been one of its many shadows. I have seen it take my mother, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother, all in front of my eyes. I will become Fate. I am Amelia Reese Tyma. (For now...)

Well, what'd you think? If you like this, I'll post some more "character bios", as I'm going to call these now.

Cheerio, peeps!

Be Silent

With a yawn I rolled out of my bed. And then almost fell to the floor, still not fully awake. I tried to tame my tangled hair as I searched around for my green tree t-shirt, and cursed the science homework.

I was so busy searching that for a moment I didn't notice my open window.

Weird, I thought to myself, as I went to go check it out. I didn't think I had left my window open last night...

On the sill there was a little, torn piece of paper. It was red and slightly muddy. Written in some of the fanciest script I could have ever imagined, and in what looked like old-fashioned ink pen, were these words...

Be silent

The Name of the Game

Cheerio, peeps.

My kitty

Here's my little kitty when he was a little baby ball of fluff! He's so cute!

Sorry the picture is so suckish. That was in between the times when I was really good with a camera. (2nd grade and now)

Cheerio, peeps!

New Moon album

Hoorah! The New Moon album came out today! There are a bunch of really good songs on it.
(Now playing: I Belong To You (New Moon Remix) by Muse (<3))

On November 10th the new Flyleaf album is coming out, so I'm really happy about that. There are 21 songs on it!

Cheerio, peeps!

The Fun Theory

Let's play piano on the stairs!

Zoooommmm... CRASH!

Let's play!

Why fun is a good thing...

Cheerio, peeps!

The Fun Theory

New Eye

Ok, my first eye was admitedly too much like the Host eye, as Infublo pointed out to me at study hall today. So I changed it around, and this is my new version. Good?

Cheerio, peeps!

Les Miserables

Wow, I'm so stupid... What with forgetting to post for so long, I never said that I finished reading Les Miserables. (Victory dance!) It was 1222 pages long. I had been reading it since the first week in June, I finished it last sunday. (More victory dance.)

Yay me! Now I'm gonna read The Phantom of the Opera. I just need to wait till it gets in at the library.

Cheerio, peeps!

P.S. When we got to London and Paris for winter break, we're gonna see the opera house Phantom is based on. :-)

The Eye

Ok, here is an idea for what I want on the cover of one of my books, The Digger's Daughter. That's the story with Artemis, and all of those guys.

How does it look? I got the original eye from this site. And don't insult it, or anything. It took me at least a few hours, over a period of about three days to finish this in Photo Shop...

Cheerio, peeps!

The one thing those stupid word verification things are good for...

Well, I guess the title says it all. When I was commenting on Cranberry's blog I had to put in one of those stupid word verification things and it gave me an idea. (Why do they have those stupid things anyway? I dunno how they're supposed to help...) The word thing was dionfalls. So now that is a name of a character in The School of Time, or whatever I'm gonna call it. Dion Falls. Which just proves that anyone can find inspiration anywhere.

Oh, and today I started my swordplay/acting class. It's so FUN!!!!! But my legs are really sore from the stances.

Cheerio, peeps!

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Oh! I am SOO sorry I haven't posted anything in so long! I got a really suckish part in the school play, so I was moping. But at least it's a character and I'm not a bird girl. O.O

The title of this post means fear of big words. :-) Look it up.

Ok, here's a new little piece from one of my books, The Name of the Game.

"Who are you? Where have you brought us? Why are we here?" Anthony yelled into the empty air of the big, old house.

Suddenly, the beautiful piano music that had been filling the air cut off. Now there was nothing to guarantee that there was anyone besides us alive in the mansion. The six of us waited in fear, listening to the light, barely discernible footsteps coming down the stairs.

Then, quite unexpectedly, the little girl from the class room was in front of us. She looked about 10, this time. Last time I couldn't tell about what age she was. She wore a long, flowing white dress, with her long, white-blonde hair in pigtails. Unlike last time her eyes were black, instead of red.

"I brought you here," she murmured in response to Anthony's question. "This is my home." Her voice and eyes were too old to belong to a child.

"I brought you here for the help you can give me. I need your help to save my brother, Thanatos."

I and some of the others were shocked. This little girl, who we had seen once in our lives, when she crashed through the windows in the gym, swearing, had just asked us to help her save someone we didn't know, and were all sure that he wasn't human.

However, to all of our surprise, Amy was the first to talk. "Is that right," hissed Amy, harshly. "You're going to make us help you find your brother? We don't even know you!"

The girl had a knowing look when she answered. "I know you better than you think. And no, I'm not going to make you help me save him." After a moment she said, "No, I won't make you help me, but I'm begging for the help." The scariest thing about what she said was that her eyes, while she spoke, turned a dark shade of violet.

She didn't look violent or lethal now, just a sad little girl.

"OH! Of course we'll help you!" I could tell that Amy now felt some of the greatest empathy for the child, having been alone enough of her own life, and from seeing all the deaths.

"But you owe us an explanation," Amanda growled through her teeth. I sighed softly to myself, knowing that she would be the last to help. Again I wondered how twin sisters could be so absoloutly opposite from each other.

"You will know, soon enough. For that I am truly sorry," the child whispered, bowing her head, as if in prayer. After a moment she murmured, quietly, without looking up, "For all the Sights, for all the Admas, I am truly sorry."

Of course that was total nonsense to us at the time.

"Wait a moment. You haven't told us your name yet," said Meahgen quietly.

The girl cocked her head to the side for a moment, as if deciding what to say.

"My name is Twilight Dawn Whispers. I am a Creation."

Creepy, right?

Oh, and by the way... Twilight is NOT a vampire! I don't care if her eyes are red and black! They change to lots of different colors! Here's a list.

Red-angry

Black-normal eye color

Dark violet-sad

Icy blue-dangerously calm (Walks slowly up to you, and snaps your neck because she's out of patience calm.)

Sky blue-very, very happy (Rare eye color for her.)

Oh, and the narrator actually isn't that main a character. Haha. No, she's just there to show how different things can be from one person's point of view to another's.

Cheerio, peeps!
