Go me! Why? Because I just got another story idea. Trust me. I get a lot of story ideas.
This idea was inspired by four things; my school's volleyball team, Prince of Tennis, Durarara!!, and my cousin, Max. The new story is called, "The Waterfront Hurricanes":
The main character is Walker Bishop, a fifteen-year-old boy who just got kicked out of a school board for the fifth time. He arrives at this new town called Waterfront, and enrolls in a new school called Waterfront High. Everything is amazing for him; he's popular, his grades are awesome, and he just made it into the school's volleyball team, the Waterfront Hurricanes. They soon become the best in the school board!
Unfortunately for him, all the schools are highly-competitive. They are jealous of the team, and want to take them down with threats. Soon, the sabotaging becomes violent. Teen gangs are formed and things are getting at their worst.
The Nationals are coming up. Can the Waterfront Hurricanes win the Nationals, or is there a war brewing within the school board, and, soon, between all of Waterfront and it's neighboring cities?!
Exciting, no? You're probably wondering how the four things mentioned before inspired this story. My school's volleyball team inspired the volleyball team idea.
Prince of Tennis gave the idea of high-competition.
Durarara!! inspired the teen gangs.
My cousin is the soccer-playing cousin of Walkers. :3
That's my new idea. Just want to say, I love the National Novel Writing Month website, because so many people there can help me with my troubles when it comes to my writing. Plot holes, character design, names and titles...I'm so happy!
Anyways, I'm going to make that damn AMV I'm having trouble with. I just got a new idea! Go me!

Break Time!
Well, it's not really a break time. Well, I've sort of already taken a break, but I'm taking a break until November, when something called Novel-mber or something. Anyways, a friend told me about it, and you put all projects aside to work on a novel.
So, I thought to myself, "Why the hell not? Sounds like a great idea!"
Today, so, I decided to take a break from writing for the rest of October.
You might be thinking to yourself, "So what are you going to do now?"
I'll tell you what I'm going to do now! I'm going to polish some rusty skills of an old hobby of mine; AMV Making. It's a bit of a story, so if you aren't interesting, just...skip down. lol
Before I started writing Fanfictions and polishing my writing skills...Okay, I'm going to have to go back a couple years to when I was Grade 4.
I'm sure you all read the story of how Rice Bridge and the Black Rose Children. You know I was into making videos, especially WND. Well, at the same time, I used to make a special kind of video called an AMV; Anime Music Videos.
So, while I would make these series, I would come out with AMVs. I LOVED making AMVs. Now, going back to when I was 9, I went up to visit family. One of my cousin's borrowed a video game; Dragonball Z Bodukai 2. I LOVED the video game.
Sometime after, I learned it was a show, and tried to find the episodes on Youtube, only to discover - you got it! - AMVs! So I asked my Dad about how to make such videos and he showed me Windows Movie Maker. My first slideshow (I only had pictures at the time) was quite good for a beginner such as I.
Of course, it wasn't quite an AMV, but I kept practicing.
Over time, I learned how to make AMVs.
I am now being taught by one of the best AMV Makers I have ever seen! Not quite as good as him, but I'm pretty good.
So, while I am waiting for November to come around (I actually have an appointment on the first for some stomach issues I have been having) I will be making AMVs. You probably won't see a lot of posts until November, but that's fine.
You guys can check out my Youtube! Hey! What an idea. Subscribe. Please. I have no subscribers.
Do you guys wanna hear another story? (audience: NOOO!) Okay!
I actually used to have a pretty big subscriptions base. Before IWasAtomicKokoro, I was Muphasa72. Which is actually my Dad's account. I used to post everything on there, from Youtube series, to AMVs, to random update vids. So many people loved me! Yay!
And then Youtube decided to delete my account. I have been in bad copyright standings for a couple years. Then, I got into Hunter X Hunter, made a vid, and my account was deleted.
It took me two weeks to figure out what the hell happened to my account, cause I couldn't access it. I had to manual go through my friend's friend list and clicked on myself and it said, "This account has been deleted for blah, blah, blah reasons and blah, blah, blah, yaddi, yaddi" and I was all like, "NOOOOOOO!" You know, like those movies? Heh heh. Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh...
Anyways, I made a new account called IAmAtomicKokoro. Just search me in the Youtube bar and subscribe or whatever. I'm easy to find.
Okay. That story is over. So, now you know, I'm on hiatus for a little while. Go me! Which reminds me, I still have to send my story to some people so they can edit it for me...and I...have to...check my story...Ugh. I have to do that before I make an AMV. (sigh)
Oh, well. It'll get done eventually.

My Next Book?
Don't tell me you thought it ended there? Ha ha! Nope. The life of a writer never ends. I still need to edit the thing, have some proof-readers edit it, and then comes the actual publishing. This is mostly editing, reading, waiting. Editing, reading, waiting. Then just...waiting...then comes reading the published book.
My Dad's gonna put the first copy in those little plastic holders and lock it away so no dust or daylight or finger prints get on it. And if it becomes a movie, then a video game, Dad's gonna play the video game. I don't want it to be those puny, PSP/DS games. Hell, no! I want it to be PS3 or Xbox. Or, if it's there at the time, if it's ever made at all, the PS4.
Point is, I still have a lot to do before that book is published. And me, being as inspirational as always, decided to go through my old ideas. What my excitement was when I found a very old project called, "Rice Bridge and the Black Rose Children", started about three years ago when I was in Grade 6/7. Oh, how I remember how I came up with the idea.
If I am to tell you just how I came up with this idea, I have to go back about...hm...approximately five years, when I was nine. I believe I was in Grade 4. Trust me. This is going to be a long story.
Back in Grade 4, I discovered video editing, particularity AMV-Making (Google it), and I wanted to show my videos on Youtube. So my Dad got me a Youtube account so I could post my videos. A little while in, I discovered how to make Youtube Series without having to act. To put it simply, I would put pictures of the characters, usually Anime characters, and I would write their line in the script over top of it in a certain color.
I came up with two Youtube Series; "Trunks and Goten" and "WND: Welcome to the Narupokeball Z DigiGalaxy". Give me credit for the second title: I was nine. Later on, it's name was changed to "WND: Welcome to the New Dimension".
Since the first one has nothing to do with the story, I will jump to WND. You will have to understand WND before you can under "Rice Bridge and the Black Rose Children".
WND was a Youtube Series based around many video games and Anime, mostly "Dragonball Z" and "Parasite Eve 2". It was originally supposed to star [kid] Trunks from Dragonball Z but the protagonist later changed to [teen] Gohan. The second leading role went from Goten from Dragonball Z to Aya Brea from "Parasite Eve 2".
Remember Aya Brea. She's actually a huge, important character as to "Rice Bridge and the Black Rose Children".
Anyways, it was about all these Animes going into reality and they have three months to get back home before they are trapped in reality forever without anyway to get home. Gohan leads the team of Animes, with his new friend, Aya Brea, to help defeat the bad guys, defeat NMCs, and go home.
Now. Many of you are wondering, "What the hell does this have to do with your new story, Richard Sims and the Sack Toes Chimera?" Well, that is another long story all on it's own.
I guess I'll start with how the storyline was created.
WND was about Animes getting trapped in reality, no? Well, I sat down one day and went, "Well, what would happen if they DIDN'T get back home? Then what?" So, I randomly thought, "Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Eve, and Aya would start a club and they would protect the people in reality." Then I came up with the Black Rose Children.
The Black Rose Children would solve crimes and leave behind a Black Rose every time at the solving sight with the captured criminal. I thought, "Hey! This idea would be awesome as it's own book!"
I decided to go with the ideas.
In WND, Gohan and Aya had a very...interesting relationship, lets say. They tended to be very powerful partners, always watching each others back and finishing each others sentences. Joking around with "adult jokes". In other words, very out of character.
This is how the relationship between Rice and Aya was developed. See what I did there? I only took the name I swear. Only the name. Everything else is different. I wanted her to be blond, though, but I felt like that was too much so I made her have black hair.
Like Karlyn.
Anyways, this is sort of how Rice and Aya's relationship was created, however it was more mother-son type of relationship, like that of Dallas and Karlyn but more...eh, how do I say this? Rice and Aya have much different personalities than Dallas and Karlyn, so I supposed more..."jokish" would be right.
There is a bit of a back story behind Rice's name in the book and in real life. Super long story short, Gohan, in Japanese, means Rice. In other words, I was very unoriginal with his name, too. Bridge is from a city I passed while visiting family up North once.
As to everyone else's names, Delilah, J.J, and Cafe...Well, Delilah was originally named Eve after Aya Brea's sister (btw, my Aya, her last name is Row), but I decided it was too much and renamed her Delilah, because it was the first name that came to mind and I just couldn't label her with any other name.
Like Molly, I didn't like Delilah's name. But it just...stuck, you know? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't name her anything else. It was Delilah and Molly. The funny thing is, though, Delilah and Molly are the same person, just different appearances. Well, that's a lie. Delilah and Molly are only alike in the way they speak, with the kind, soft voices and manners.
Delilah likes to fight and Molly doesn't. Delilah is blond (I needed a blond in there, for no reason), Molly had brown hair. They are just...different, okay? I will spend all night trying to find three more reasons how they're different and I'm not in the mood for that.
ANYWAYS, there is a lot new things in this story; J.J is my first salty, which means he has white hair. Rice is actually my first male leading male character, when all my stories are put in order from oldest idea to newest. Aya, Rice, Delilah, and Cafe were all inspired by other characters. This is the first and only story written in first person. This is my first and only story not a fantasy, but rather an action-drama.
"Rice Bridge and the Black Rose Children" is one of my most unique stories of my collection and I think writing this will be a great idea.
One last thing I want to talk about is Cafe, Rice's little brother. As sweet and harmless as he is, Cafe is going to be, by far, the best "little kid" character I'm ever going to create, not including Devin. Cafe will have a very interesting back story and side story to the whole thing, which I'm thinking of writing first, so I can add it in later, because his side story is the most powerful part of the entire story.
That is, not including the preface.
I will leave you with one final part, the last few paragraphs of the preface:
"The Shochi are stupid people.
Stupid, evil, bloodthirsty people.
Hm.
Humanity is the only evil thing on this planet.
Aya says I'm deep that way. Leaving people with disturbing, painful thoughts. I don't see how this is deep, though.
It's the truth."

The Final Stretch
It's done.
"The Secret of the Hunters" is done.
Final Count
Chapters (plus Preface and Epilogue): 26
Pages: 349 normal pages, 14 pages a chapter, 124 large pages
I'm technically not finished. I'm still deciding if I want to add two more sentences to the ending or not. So far it's yes, but it might end up being no.
That doesn't matter, though. I'm done. It's over. I need to go through and edit it, which might add and subtract pages, but this is the general number I've hit. It's a bit open ended, so it might have a sequel. It might not. We'll see.
I already have two peers editing my work for me. Yay! Well, three, if you count the grade 10 girl who wants to read it.
So, all I have to do is edit it (once, twice, thrice), give it to my peers to edit, find a publishing company, and get it published. Yay! I feel so fulfilled! I'm so proud of myself! The best part is being able to brag about it at Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday and Monday. YES!
Oh, I am so happy! But so sad. Because I love all my characters and I don't want their adventure to end. It was so great! It was so much fun!
Unfortunately, I don't think it will sell, because Fantasy is a much lesser favorite of the genres of books, nowadays. In fact, books themselves aren't even a big thing. Some people still read, but not all of them...I sort of feel like I failed in some way because of that, but whatever.
I forget who said it, but someone asked, "What would happen if no one buys your book?" No one? What do you mean by no one? Like zero sales, ten to thirty sales, what? So I said, "I dunno. I'll try again, I guess."
I like the super natural. It's not terrible, but I'm not really a big Harry Potter, Hunger Games, nor a Twilight fan. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just...don't...I just aren't into those things, but my friend is going to try and make my a Potterhead or whatever, so it shouldn't be too long before I'm into the Harry Potter series.
Problem is, I can't write super natural without it become a fantasy. I think fantasy, currently, is the most underrated book-type. The only series doing well in the fantasy section is Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympias, which is basically this same thing. (btw, I can't wait to read the Lost Hero).
Anyways, I have to edit it, but it's way to late to be doing that. I have allergies and I am super tired, so I'm probably going to head off to bed now. Wait till I'm fully awake, as I have gotten no sleep in the past little while. Yay...! Heh.

The Final Battle Heroes
Yes, I am at the big climatic scene. Actually, I'm PASSED that big climatic scene...and onto the falling action. I only have a chapter or so left to go and I am SUPER EXCITED! This grade 10 girl in my English class wants to read it, and I'm sort of hoping she could edit it for me...cause in my last post, I had TONS of spelling errors...
Anyways, I'm supa excited to get this book finished, but, at the same time, I'm sort of sad it's ended because it was such an awesome adventure...I'm going to miss everyone. Dallas, Molly, Mavrik...I'm going to miss the whole team. They were such awesome characters.
Maybe I'll leave it open ended...I already have an idea for a sequel, but I don't think it's happening. I think one book is enough for this idea. As much as I love Dallas, this book shouldn't have a sequel. I'll see how I feel when I'm done a couple books. I'll just...surprise you guys with a sequel. Then all my fans will be all like, "OMG! did u c? she pblshed the sequel 2 her book!" and I'll be all like, "Oh, yeah. You love me." and all my fans will be like, "YES, WE DO!" and then I'll feel so loved!
But that's not for another little while.
Point is, I'm almost done and I am super excited, and sad at the same time, but I already have another book to write after this one called "Dust Among the Stars", another fantasy novel starring young Jakson Leo and a woman who is partially based off of my hero, Aya Brea from Parasite Eve 2, Robin Gael.
Kay, Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon and Aya Brea from Parasite Eve 2 ARE MY HEROES, even though they are from video games. I want to be JUST LIKE Aya Brea when I'm older. She's super awesome. And Dart is totally awesome, too, with his BAM, "CRUSH DANCE!" or, or "BURNING RUSH!"
Yes, they are so awesome.
Fun Fact: I never beat the games that these two star in. I've never got passed the Final Battle of The Legend of Dragoon nor the second Boss of Parasite Eve 2.
Current stats:
Chapters: 24
Pages: 331 normal pages, 14 pages a chapter, 199 large pages.
Let's finish up, shall we?
Ai-de-ya!

Point is, I'm almost done and I am super excited, and sad at the same time, but I already have another book to write after this one called "Dust Among the Stars", another fantasy novel starring young Jakson Leo and a woman who is partially based off of my hero, Aya Brea from Parasite Eve 2, Robin Gael.
Kay, Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon and Aya Brea from Parasite Eve 2 ARE MY HEROES, even though they are from video games. I want to be JUST LIKE Aya Brea when I'm older. She's super awesome. And Dart is totally awesome, too, with his BAM, "CRUSH DANCE!" or, or "BURNING RUSH!"
Yes, they are so awesome.
Fun Fact: I never beat the games that these two star in. I've never got passed the Final Battle of The Legend of Dragoon nor the second Boss of Parasite Eve 2.

When You Forget Characters...
So, I'm one the three hundredth page, twenty first chapter. I'm sitting there, writing away, when I had to reference back to a part of my book. I'm searching through and then I see T.K's name and I'm like, "Oops. I forgot about T.K."
Oh, I just had the stupidest moment! I have no idea what to do about T.K. Maybe he was destroyed in the battle against the giant robot...kay, maybe not. So know I have to find a place for T.K in all that has happened.
Ugh.
Anyways, current stats:
Chapters: 21
Pages: 301 normal pages, 14 pages a chapter, 107 large pages
Yeah, I made some progress last night. I was up till midnight, so now my head hurts and I need a nap, but I must keep on writing!
So close to the end!

So Damn Busy!
I got no work done yesterday; we were getting our carpet cleaned so I couldn't get to my laptop (or my room, for that matter) so I couldn't write my book. I was so ticked cause I was at such a good part in my book, too! Ha! My luck, I swear.
So, in this time I had to take the only actually seat in the house, I came up with a new idea. A new book. "Dust Among the Stars". Another fantasy about another boy. Go figure. But this one is about the boy and his "mother", who really just lets him stay at her house since he's homeless, they go to a new world and have to change the world that's already been taken over.
To do so, they must enlist the help of several people to try and set this new world free. Whether they return to Earth or not hasn't really been decided, but I haven't really gotten anywhere other than the first two pages introducing the main character, Jackson Leo, the currently homeless, suicidal teen. Yeah. Well, semi-suicidal. He's all like, "Dude, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna die soon" and stuff. I'm sure you catch my drift.
So, I trapped myself in my room for the first time in a while and managed to get that damn part done that I have been trying to finish for three days. It was only about two, three pages, but still. I wanted to get it done. At least I had time to think about it. By it, I mean whether Mavrik is going to live or die. I did decide on something, but you're going to have to wait to find out.
Trust me, Mavrik is a loveable character. You are all going to hate me. Maybe. Well, we'll see how this plays out.
So, now that I can get some crap done, let's get some MORE crap done. So I can finish by my estimated time, which is Halloween.
Current stats:
Chapter: 19
Pages: 272 normal pages, 14 a chapter, 97 full length pages.
Fun Fact: "The Secret Of The Hunters" is my longest story yet. My second longest has 16 chapters, 52 full length pages. Big difference, huh?
Fun Fact #2: "The Secret of the Hunters" was originally supposed to be about a professional, young archer helping a runaway Princess cross the borders and marry her Prince Charming.

It's A Brand New Blog!
For those of you who don't get it, I was ripping off "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog". Wouldn't it be cool to have a sing-along blog?
Anyways, as you know, I changed up my blog a little to my liking. I'm a fancy letter person, which is strange because none of the pages in my book have fancy script. But the point is, if you can't read it. Tell me. I'll change it. That would be awesome, thanks. I like the idea that my followers (if I have any) would be able to read what they want to read.
Thanks!
That's it! Current stats are the same.

P.S.S The new font screws up my symbol/number name! D:<

Useless Characters...Gotta Love Em
Do you ever read a book and always end up hating the useless characters that seem to do nothing? I always loved them BECAUSE they were so useless. Ha! I have a useless character in my book, but I'm hoping I can find something useful for her to do at sometime...maybe.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with her. Maybe she'll save everyone at one point. I have about two ideas I want this third Boss Battle to go. You know, the one against the giant robot? So, one will be having this useless character use her ability to beat the giant robot or have the super computer make the giant robot the bad guy. I think I can do both, if I try.
To reflect on all the useless characters, some of them actually being main characters, I must say my useless character is kind of cool. Ha! I love Relic Master, but Raffi was so useless. And he was supposed to be the main(-ish) character. I couldn't stand how useless he was, because all he really seemed to do was get into some sort of trouble.
Raffi was my favorite character even so, just because he sort of reminded me of Mikki...and Raffi was super awesome with his sense-lines.
And then there was Mikki. Yeah, from the anime Kiba. He was useless as much. Probably why Raffi reminded me of Mikki so much because they are both so useless. Except Mikki has no "special powers" like Raffi. He just does useless stuff.
And then there would be Grover in Percy Jackson series. He wasn't as useless as Raffi and Mikki, I don't think (it's been a while since I have read the books) but still kind of trouble-causing, if you know what I mean. But Grover was still pretty fricken awesome, still.
Who else was there? I read the Thief Lord, but I can't remember that. Oh! Twilight! Bella. SUPER USELESS, I must say, for a main character. Annoyingly useless. Sorry to all the Twilight fans. I'm Team Jacob, just because it was Shark Boy who played Jacob. Yes, I loved Taylor Lautner before I heard of Twilight. And I love Logan Lerman, cause he's so cute.
Before I get into Celeb crushes, I'm going to peace out so I can get some work done. I am nearing the end! Yes! All I have to do is Boss Battle three, regroup, explain everything, then move onto the Final Boss Battle, falling action, and DONE! My estimated end time is before Halloween.

Giant Robots Complete It All
So I have Dragons and super computer and magic and prophecies, right? This couldn't get anymore Fantastic. Or so one would think. That is until I had GIANT SUPER ROBOTS into the mix.
Yeah, I have a giant super robot in my book. Can you believe that? Yes, GIANT. SUPER. ROBOTS. Well, one. And it's going to be the next Boss Battle in my book. Yes! This will be interesting.
And I have yet to reveal Mavrik's back story, which much be done before we defeat the main bad guy, otherwise things will be bad...yeah. It would suck if we had no adventure revolving around his back story, because his back story is [spoiler].
Anyways, I decided to write my blogs in similar format as to my story, just so you guys know what the format is. I think I explained it once before while I was yapping about things you guys don't care about.
So, I will give you guys an update!
Chapter: 18
Pages: 247, approximately 14 pages a chapter.
Just to let you guys know, I due a bunch of calculations to get the page number:
Total word count divide by two hundred (how many words a page) equals how many sized-the-way-you-want pages. Then you divide it by how many chapters to get how many pages a chapter.
Currently, I have 89 full sized pages, the longest I have ever written a book. Cause I'm so awesome that way.
Anyways, gotta go cause I need to get my Dad a game for my Grandma.

Boss Battle Jibberish
I always call the moments in my stories when my characters are faced to fight a big enemy Boss Battles, because of they remind me of video games. I always somehow imagine it that way. A big "The Legend Of Dragoon" style battle.
Anyways, I have hit my second Boss Battle, which is in the seventeenth chapter (the first one is in the eleventh) and it's pretty exciting. I have some Legend of Dragoon battle music in my ears, Extended Boss Battle Theme 2 to be exact, and I'm just describing what I see.
I must say, I'm actually pretty terrible with fight scenes, the more I think about it. I have to be in the mood to write if I want to write a good fight scene. Unfortunately, I have never really read a book that described fight scenes that are as long as mine.
I treat my mine like video games.
"Dallas aimed his arrow and fired. Molly blocked the arrow with a swift cut of her Hunting Knife." You know. Actually, that's more like an announcer, but whatever, and Dallas and Molly are super out-of-character with that one line. No joke.
Anyways, it's my second fight scene. I'll probably do a lot of editing with my Boss Battles. It's funny though; the only battles in my book are Boss Battles, except that one time I had the trio vs the Knights. That wasn't a Boss Battle, but still a battle.
I need more battles in this book. I know it's weird, writing fight scenes in books, but it's kind of fun. I mean, what if it gets made into a movie? Then it's an Action-Fantasy-Adventure movie! Wouldn't that be super awesome!?
Yeah, if and when I publish this book, I can't wait for it to be a movie. That would be super awesome. I could go up to my new friend and say, "You know that movie, 'The Secret Of The Hunters'? Yeah, I helped write that."
And they would be all like, "Yeah, right!"
And I would be all like, "Yeah, right! So true! Here's the proof!" and show them my email-to-myself thing. Yeah, I am all set for copyright issues, if there need be. But I don't post too many chapters cause I don't want people reading it on deviantART for free and I'm all like, "No! I make no moneys!" Moneys is actually a word.
I didn't know that.
I think Monies is a word, too.
Weird.
And you know what's about as much fun with making worlds is making currencies. No joke. I love it when you can make up currencies, cause they don't even have to make sense. "Sixty-five shuffles please". Or, or, could you imagine if their currencies were push-ups!?
"Sixty-five push-ups, please."
"Oh, okay! Just let me get my push purse."
Like, seriously. That's pretty awesome.
And then there is what you can have in that world. Like, in the world of "The Secret Of The Hunters", they have crossbows and super computers and hover cars and Mac and Cheese, but they don't have guns. Like, seriously. That's pretty awesome crap right there.
And then comes the names. I love coming up with names, especially last names, cause they don't have to make sense either. It could honestly be anything. Like, Kemp. You could name a guy Kemp, some chick Surrie, a dog named Yack, and some old dude called Ghakstualis.
When it comes to names and currencies and worlds, nothing has to make sense. You can just make it a bunch of jibberish. Jibberish names always sound cool, especially if you use the right syllables for the right letters.
Okay, apparently, Jibberish isn't a word, according to my spell checker. Just thought I'd point that out.

"That Night"
Heh. Yeah. I was hanging out with Hanna today (not her real name) and I was watching Hoot, starring Logan Lerman (the cutest celeb boy, in my opinion: You do not want me to go on about how cute he is. TRUST ME. I'm worser (that's so not a word...Hey, brackets in brackets!) than Taylor Lautner fans, but he's pretty cute, too), so she thought it would be a great idea to check out my blog and write a post.
"I wanna hack your account!"
"Dude, I'm already signed in."
"Oh...Can I post something?"
"...Okay."
So I let her "hack" my account. She'd seen Hoot already, so I figured, what the hell. Keep her busy...Heh. Anyways, don't expect to many Hacks, since I don't hang with my buddies often, but there might be an occasional one.
But I don't think it's fair she got to post a story in my blog before I did, since I am the Fourteen-Year-Old Writer here, so I'll write you guys a short original I'm going to write just off the top of my head called, "That Night".
The sun was warm and bright that day. I couldn't see the ocean, but I could hear it lap against the sand, retreating back to the large body, eroding away it's boundaries, it's limits. Maybe, one day, I could erode away my own boundaries and limits. Maybe, one day, I could be as free as the sky.
"Luke!" It was Clara. I could tell by the sound of her voice. The sweet, lovely voice. The voice only I could hear.
Clara walked up beside me and stared out over the ocean, probably unable to see it as well. "What are you doing here?" I asked, scratching my elbow.
"I..." she began, then she drew quiet. A fragile silence hung between us, almost ready to break any second. Would it be I or her to shatter the tranquility of no words.
Birds flew over us, squawking and calling, flying in the direction of the wind. Black and white feathers floated before my eyes, between her and I. "What is it?" I asked, reaching out and grasping the odd blue feather from the flock before me.
"I just wanted...you to..." She paused. "I want you to come home."
I blinked. The sun was gone now, faded fast behind the ocean. Stars glimmered high above us, decorating the silky black sky above. Watching over us like a mother to a child. "I can't," I said. "Not today."
"I see," Clara whispered, glancing down. "I'm sorry I came."
She turned and began away, up the hill and off the beach. "Wait!" I gasped, spinning, but she was gone.
I stood for a moment. Would she no longer speak after my vanishing? Would she no longer see what I didn't? I held the blue feather out before me and opened my palm, the blue feather catching the wind and flying off into the black sky.
"I..." but I found no voice to speak the words I wished. With a wry smile, I turned back to the ocean
. The tide was high, that night. It was perfect for what I planned. The air was silent, that night. There were no birds, nothing to hear but the lapping The moon was full, that night. It reflected off the ripples of the ocean, a beautiful blue.
I was lonely, that life.
But that night.
I love you, I had whispered in bubbles. Would the reach the surface or drown as I?
I died, that night.
Because you, Clara, needed to find your voice again.
So why didn't you speak after that night?
Yeah, I am actually a very depressing author. So if you were expecting something wonderfully happy, I'm sorry I disappointed you. This is going on deviantART.
Just a taste of my writing ability and writing style. I'm sorry if I made you sad.
Don't worry. I make myself depressed, too.

HACKED
Hey guys, I'm her best friend Hanna. I'll create a story for you guys so tell me your thoughts. :)
Have you ever felt that you didn't belong or that you had a strong urge to fly through the sky. If so then your a descendant of an angel. Ya i said it your a descendant of an angel, yes i know that your thinking that she's crazy for saying that but I'm not lying. This what happened to me before i learned that i was a descendant of an angel. This is what happened to me, 1 day before my 16th birthday. It was a bright sunny day when i woke up to get ready for school. I went to an all girls school, the best out of the best. I still felt terrible because my mom had just died a few weeks ago, the pain of losing a love one was still in my heart. It felt it would never heal until i meet a weird bird in my dreams i told me this and i quote "We'll be expecting you." I didn't tell anyone because my father had told me something even weirder. he told that i was suppose to get ready for my 16th birthday. Anyways i went to school like every other day thinking that i wouldn't expect anything new. I meet up with friends, did everything i did like any other day, homework and did my chores. That night i had another dream of meeting that weird bird again telling me that we would meet tomorrow. That was the end of my day and dream.

I still felt terrible because my mom had just died a few weeks ago, the pain of losing a love one was still in my heart. It felt it would never heal until i meet a weird bird in my dreams i told me this and i quote "We'll be expecting you." I didn't tell anyone because my father had told me something even weirder. he told that i was suppose to get ready for my 16th birthday. Anyways i went to school like every other day thinking that i wouldn't expect anything new. I meet up with friends, did everything i did like any other day, homework and did my chores. That night i had another dream of meeting that weird bird again telling me that we would meet tomorrow. That was the end of my day and dream.
Blah, Blah, Blah
I always have, in my writing, added chapters. If it was to every page like James Peterson's Daniel X (I think I got his last name wrong...oops) or the actual, real life long chapters like "The Secret Of The Hunters", to in between chapter sizes like "The Winter Star".
But always, always, in my writing, my chapters had TITLES. Chapter Titles. I love naming my chapters. I had been doing it since I was little. I did it in my Fanfiction writing, I did it when writing a damn procedure. No joke.
It would be like, "Chapter 1: Step 1". Seriously. I was (am) obsessed with chapters. As much as I am now. I have chapter titles.
The best part was that I always forgot the Table of Contents. Yeah, I...am not very smart. But this time I did, for "The Secret Of The Hunters". And then came to deciding the Chapter Title itself. Then I go, "Oh, crap. I don't even know what this chapter is about" because a Chapter Title is supposed to, like, "summarize" the entire chapter. Explain what it's about in a word or phrase.
So then I would choose a stupid title, like, "What One Thinks" or "Dance Of Emotions" or, my personal favorites, "The New Crew Part 1" and "The New Crew Part 2". (the second one rhymes!)
I always make myself laugh with my older stories. In "The Winter Star", I thought I was being so boss by naming my chapters Part 1 and Part 2. Later, I was thinking, "Those chapters are so short. Why didn't I merge them?"
In the end, I ended up trying to redo the story, but everything ended up happening to fast because, one, my chapters were longer so everything was happening so fast, and I took out characters so I couldn't have certain events happen so I couldn't continue the story. So I was sitting there, going, "I have to do something else while I figure this out..."
I have started multiple stories, but I always hit writer's block before the second chapter. It was super annoying. That was, until, I started "The Secret Of The Hunters" and then, BAM! I had seventeen chapters in three weeks.
I'm onto week four now. My church group is actually very proud of me. Ha! Until they learned there aren't any religious views or overlays. I like to avoid religions in my writing, because I don't want people to be offended or get the wrong idea of my religion. I'm a very "You believe what you believe, I'll believe what I believe" kind of person because it avoids conflict.
But I do hate it when people are all like, "Oh, that religion is wrong!" or whatever. I hate that. Especially when Atheists do that to all Religions. I can't help but sit there and go, "Are you serious? Can't you just stay out of Religions? You guys don't care anyway!"
Well, not all Atheists are like that. I know that. But there is this one person I know and she puts down my Religion constantly and it really...stings, you know? Well, I should just leave it alone. I really don't care, personally, but I hate racism, not that fact one puts down what I choose to be...which is basically the same thing, but still.
Ha! That's weird I say that because the message in "The Secret Of The Hunters" is you are what you want to be. I think that is a pretty cool little message. In "Sky Devil", the message was very similar, but it was that you aren't what everyone believes you to be by the color of your wings. You are who you are. You know?
Yeah, I'm a big one on the "You are who you are" deal, because I couldn't stand who I was growing up. I absolutely couldn't stand myself.
Then I got out of Grade 8 and, BAM! "Hey, I'm so awesome..." It's really cool, cause when I went into High School, I started getting more self-confidence. Every time I think to myself, "This team lost cause I was on it", I immediately think, "Who the hell am I kidding?"
It's strange but true! I can't believe I didn't realize how awesome I am, and people are just gonna have to deal with the emotional part of me (but it's pretty cool, since I'm learning to control my emotions...other than happy...yeah, there is no caging that one) whether they like it or not. If they don't like, then they don't come near me. But it's hard not to love me!
I have to thank my Best Friend for that. She's so awesome.
I swear, I have the Bestest Friends in the whole wide world. Sure, most times we only talk during lunch, but we still eat together (I usually read my book; I never bring a lunch) then we hang out at the library, look at the fish, and read together.
Pretty cool, huh? I almost can't wait until I'm reading my book and my friends are reading "The Secret Of The Hunters" and I'm can't pay attention to what I'm reading cause I'm thinking to myself, "Oh, my Gosh! What do they think...?"
Tee hee. I'm so weird. And anxious. I swear, I get nervous too easily. If anything is going to happen, like I'm going to sing in front of my Vocals class, I'm all calm, ready to do my best, then as soon as I hit the first note, I'm like, "Dooo-oo-oooa-aah-hhh..." and my voice is quivering like mad.
I need to learn to relax...which is what I'm doing.
And I need to do that now if I'm going to sing in Show Choir, aka, the Glee Club.
And I wanted to join Stage Crew, but it's at the same time as the Glee Club. Damn. Oh, well. Mom wants me to do the Glee Club, so, what the hell! Let's do this!
Okay, I'm talking a lot. So, here's the current update on my story:
Chapters: 17
Pages: 233.16 in total, approximately 13 a chapter.
So, that's the update. I wonder what my publishing company will be. I'll save my Publishing story for another day, and I'm going to go write my story! I'll see you guys soon!

Half-Way Mark! ...ish...
That's right! I have just hit my Half-Way Mark with seventeen chapters and two hundred and thirty pages. Go me! Which means, that my book with be approximately four hundred and sixty pages and thirty...six(?) chapters. Seems like a lot, and I actually don't have as much to go as I think.
In other words, I think I might actually be beyond my half-way mark, but I could be on the spot...I could be behind. I'm not sure. It's sort of tough to tell with a story I haven't planned out. But that's how I always keep interested in my stories. Have some sort of very light outline (prophecy, plan, etc) of how they achieve their goal. OR I just walk around everywhere until some random event that happens makes something happen.
Like those "Choose-Your-Own-Adventures". I just make one character do something, which leads to something else random, and it all adds up somehow in the end. The only problem I have, though, is when I have something unexplained happen and then forget about it and the whole story ends (yay!) and then I realize, "Wait. That part doesn't make sense..." I hate it when I do that.
Anyways, I'm feeling better and I have actually gotten quite a bit done. I'm very proud. About thirty pages, and I'm super tired cause it it about three-thirty in the morning. I AM TIRED! And I'm listing to Good Charlotte, which I haven't in a while. I usually listen to instrumentals to get the mood of the story.
However, I decided to listen to Good Charlotte's "Victims Of Love" cause it's been forever since I've listened to them. I found them in a music store today. I originally discovered them in a Sailor Moon X Dragonball Z vid for Kid Trunks and the little girl with pink hair that is Sailor Moon's daughter from the future or something...I'm not sure.
I just remember the video being super awesome.
My goal for this book is to have it done by...hm, let's try Halloween. Just from the about of progress I've been doing lately, I should be done by Halloween, but you never know. Something bad could happen...or I could be done before then! *knock on wood*
Anyways, I should probably get back to work. If I'm writing this much for my blog, I could've wrotten (is that a word?) this much for my story. Huh. Whatever.
I like blogs.
