Unlucky 13?

I'm not superstitious. Or maybe I am, I guess. But my superstitions are different than most people's.

I love the number 13.

But chapter 13 in my book is E-V-I-L.

I can't figure out what to write!

For some reason, if I don't have the chapter title it makes me all flustered and I can't write anything. It's really weird, but true.

Anyway, the pictures at the top are all currently unedited. The first two are from a mine in California we saw over spring break and the second two are from Gettysburg. We went there, I think, two summers ago.

Cheerio, peeps.

Europe-Part 1

Oh, this is sad... It's taken me to May to FINALLY post the pictures I took in London and Paris.

These aren't in a particular order, considering we went to London first, but what ever.

I don't know who put the sticker on the street sign outside the Paris opera house, but thanks! Now the street is my last name.

I took this picture in a bus.

I think it turned out rather well.

Another picture from the same bus ride, but I used this interesting fade out in Photo Shop.

I really like it. The original's here somewhere.

Box 5 at the Paris opera house. Sound familiar?

I was a little obsessed with the Phantom then. I had just seen the play for the first time, and read the book. I took this the day before my camera died! I was so SAD! I'd had it since second grade, when I first went to London. It was my hanukah present...

Here's the Eiffel Tower. I think this was sometime New Year's Eve....

Another version of one of the bus pictures.

Haha. I love the red phone booths.

HERE's the original picture! Lots of fog that day.

The first time I saw the Eiffel Tower for real. The day we got to Paris, from the CHUNNEL! (Love that name!)

Also taken from a bus.

Random flag hanging somewhere near Buckingham Palace. Sort of...

Taken on a bus.

Notre Dame, my first night in Paris.

Random British guard. We had just watched a piece of the changing of the guards when I had to take the picture opportunity.

Eiffel Tower in B & W.

Trust me, there will be PLENTY more.

Maybe later tonight.

Cheerio, peeps!

Something New

Well, the title says it all.

Recently, I've been in a bit of a creative slump. I haven't written on my other blog much either. I think I know the reason too. (No, you won't hear it on this post.)

So, anyway, I just recently went onto Cranberry's blog and... SAW HER GOOD-BYE POST! :-O

But it got me thinking. I don't want to end up say, "Hey, guys, this has been fun and all, but I gotta go now. Catch ya' around!"

No way. This is more important, to me at least, than that. So I'll be working on posting more. I do NOT want to see this turned into one of my unfinished works. I've had a few...

My original book idea. It was great for little kids, like I was when I started it, but it just didn't work. I even tried to start writing it... Then it just crashed. This will not be like that.

I've got some more trip pictures to upload. I'll try and add some of the ones I've worked on already.

Cheerio, peeps.

Muwahaha!!

Don't ask. I dunno what's up with the evil laugh. I just felt like it.

And I finally finished chapter 6!!!! It was called "What Is Reality?" and it took me FOREVER!!!!! Now I'm on chapter 7 and back with Clover. Rather better than Amanda, I think. The chapter's called "Waking Up". Yeah, it is a little weird, but I think I like it.

Still need to post winter break pictures. Maybe some from the play.

Cheerio, peeps!

Profile Pic

Hoorah! A new profile picture! (Because the people trying to replace my lenses broke the frame... Grrrrrr...)

Anyway. This picture is from... Yep you guessed it. Her again. This picture works pretty well for close to the end of Reborn, when Twi is being tortured. : O

Yeah, I know. Don't ask. Just wait till I write the freakin' scene.

Cheerio, peeps!

Cover for Revenge

This is the current cover for Revenge. However...

I found this picture, and edited it. I think it works better. How about you?

Here's the original. Yes, from the same person as usual.

Cheerio, peeps.

Still in NY

Hi. Still in NY... Thanksgiving was great. My one opf my uncles sells books so he took me and my parents to one of the places he buys. It's in a BARN!!!!! So cool.

I've now had the best pizza in the world twice this week. In Riverdale, in the Bronx, there is this one place called Salvatores of Soho. THEY HAVE THE BEST PIZZA IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep.

Listening to Second Chance by Shinedown. I borrowed the copy of Midnight for Charlie Bone, the first in the series, that I gave my cousin, 'cuz he hasn't read it yet, and I'm rereading it for who knows how many times. Started this morning. Should be done by one tomorrow afternoon.

Coming home tomorrow. I'll post pics and stuff... Yeah. Bye!

Cheerio, peeps!

P.S. I wrote a new story for Twi. I might post my ideas on Sunday, or something.

So long

Today I leave for NY. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures that I'll post.

Cheerio, peeps!

I love this person!

This person has the most awesomest pictures EVER! I'm using them on some book covers. I give her all the amazing credit due, of course.

iNeedChemicalX's gallery on DeviantArt.

Woohoo!

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 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!

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!

My Twilight apple

My version of the Twilight cover. It took SO freekin' long to finish in Photo Shop, so don't anyone dare insult it.

Cheerio, peeps!

My shoe!

I took this picture randomly one day at a photography class.

And NOW it looks really cool!!

Don't ask... I am very bored... I really, REALLY (really, really) don't want to do homework.

Cheerio, peeps!

Some new photos

Ok, here are a few of my newest photoshopped pictures.

I tried to make this one look like it was drawn.

I took this at a photography class. It was the sun coming through a pine tree. I thought it was cool, so I took the picture.

This picture is the same as the first. I took it in St. Louis. (Obviously.)

Cheerio, peeps!

The Spiral Staircase, 2

Here's the spiral staircase before I put it into photoshop. Oh, by the way, I remember where I took the picture. It was in the National Archives, somewhere outside the gift shop. I think. It might have been in the Court house, thing. One of the two. ;-)

Cheerio, peeps!

The orange water in Saint Louis

Yes, the water really was orange.

I only changed the statue to make it look like a ghost. ;-)

See?! Orange water!

Yep. There really was orange water. I did not photo shop it. I swear on my shelf of favorite books.

Cheerio, peeps!

The Space Needle

Here is a picture of the Space Needle, in Seattle, from a while ago. by the way, I took this picture during the day. Photo shop is fun!

Cheerio, peeps!

The Spiral Staircase

I took this picture when I was in D.C. about a year ago. And then I inverted it. The stair case was marble, with metal rails, that were supposed to look gold. I think I took the picture at the... Ok, I have absolutely no idea where I took the picture. ;-)

Cheerio, peeps!

AHHH! Pig attack!

Here is the regular picture of Sam I Am.

And here is the inverted, and crazily colored one.

With PINK eggs and ham!

Ok, in Seattle, all over the city, there were different statues of pigs. Like in Milwaukee they have Beasties, and things like that. I thought it was tremendously funny, and very cool. So, I went a little over board on the pig pictures. There was one that was Green Eggs and Ham. I liked that a lot, because I'm a big Dr. Seuss fan. On the side, there was a picture of Sam I Am. So, I took a picture of that (obviously). I found it on my camera, so I decided to play with it in photoshop. It was lots of fun.

Enjoy your travels, where ever they may lead!

Cheerio, peeps!
