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.
Current stats:
Chapters: 24

Let's finish up, shall we?
Ai-de-ya!

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.
