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!
