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.
Food is yummy.

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.

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.

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!

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.
