Realization

During Church today, I realized that my main character didn't find out the last line of the books song. Whoops. Edit and revise time will come in two years lady. In two years. Gahhh I don't know what to do with myself now that I'm done with it. Sure my desk is emptier, I might only now have to take three school things to and from school, but I miss it already. Seriously. If all I can do if write first drafts, then ill never be an author. Must do IT!!!!!

All Done

Guess what. I'm all done writing my novel. All 51,533 words have concluded the adventure of a girl named Ama who has to save her home world from some messed up magic. With a hopefully surprise ending. I have finally concluded this first adventure of Ama Ostrich. I cannot believe that my first novel is finished. I'm so happy and proud of it.

Random #3

okay. So I'm trying out some stuff on my blog. Who knows what this actually looks like. But I'm going to see. ahhh. That's what it looks like. Never mind. Ooooohhh I'm so excited because I got 44,100 words written so far. I'm suuuuuuupppppppeeeerrrrr sssssuuuuuuuupppppppeeeeerrrrr excited. I can't wait till I finish it. Well the previous post was a poem. But since tab and enter button won't work now, it doesn't look right.

Sleepy

I am sleepy My eyes droop As I type out my heart My socks are soft But warm and sweaty Can't take a shower Want to Eat Eat Eat

No Topic

If you have read all of my posts, you might have picked up that I really like to read. And write. And sing. And playing maplestory. Plus, I have a habit of posting late at night when I should be sleeping. Like now. I'm a big fan of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Cameron Morgan, Gregor the Overlander, Hannah Swenson Mysteries, and so many more that my tired mind cannot think of. To be honest, I have absolute no topic tonight. It's 6 days till school starts and my sleeping patterns most likely won't adjust in time for me to be alert on the first day of school. Well, my mind is blank so I'd better get to sleep. Toodle-oo

11:18

That is the time that I type this out, waiting for an app to download completely. It is night, and this evening, I made a breakthrough in NightWatcher. Tonight, I hit 40k. Fourty thousand words in eleven months. I'm so happy. Okay. So the breakthrough is, I thought my novel was a book that I was reading and that I needed to see all the details in the ending. That was sooooo cool. 11:26 p.m. It has finished downloading so now, I leave you. Beth, away! "BOINK!!! CRASH!!! MEEOOOW!!! Whoops

Whoops

Whoops. I didn't mean to post the post under this post. It wasn't ready so I got rid of it. Sort of. That was not my first post.

My first blog.......

Well. This is my first blog post. I intend to blog as often as a i can and let you know what's up. If my spelling is wrong, I'm very sorry. I usually press the wrong buttons like is usually is "si" so I'm going to apologize from the start.
Let's see. What to blog about. Well I am officially a teenager today. Yay!! It's still morning so nothing really important happened yet. So I guess that's all there is. Bye!

August

Sorry about my title. I just couldn't resist. August >August That's what it will look like on my blog if it will let me do it, which I definitely doubt. :( hmm let me check..... Nope. Uuuuurrrrrgggggg!!!! This blog won't let me skip lines or indent at all. After this I'll try to fix it. Ok, since I can't skip lines, then I shoudn't bother. Grrrrrr I could've gotten my school supplies today. But I didn't know that mom and sister were going to provide that option when they asked what I needed from Petoskey. Because that was where they were going. I'm really mad. On another note, I'm watching the game between USA and Japan with my dad. This is probably the fith time that I was in the room when that game is on. It bugs me SOS much. Oh well. I guess I can play Maple once I'm done. Bunt I guess not. Sister is on the computer. Grrrrrrr.

Flying

I know that it is 10:15 p.m. But why am I writing on my blog? My sister is in bed, and so should I. Ah, but I am in my bed, just not trying to sleep like she is. Now, I am assuming that you are wondering why my title is flying. To tell you the truth, I got the idea from the background of my blog. The birds flying to an unknown direction. Where are they going? Will they be happy there, or are they going to their doom? The birds reminded me of dinner this evening. I was telling my parents about a few dreams where I was flying, or floating. Like this one dream where I got stuck in a shelf that was either a Rick Riordan book, or a shoebox it depended on the night that I had the dream. So when I was thinking about flying in my dreams, I realized that I should update my blog. But now that I've typed this all out, I've started thinking about dreams. Some of them are creepy, some of them are fun, weird, dumb, or just plain sweet, or sad. The possibilities are endless in dreams. Of course, thinking about dreams reminds me of a dream that I had in Preschool. Let me tell you about it. I was invited to a party. When I was there, the whole party was red. People wearing red clothes, red party games, red walls, red carpeting, red food, red beverages, and anything else that belongs to a party, it was red. It was a really fun and long party. Just as was going to roll down a red mat on a table, ( because everybody was doing it and they told me that it was fun) so just as I started rolling, the alarm clock to wake up went off. 6:45 a.m. It was time to get really for Preschool. My dream had ended. At preschool though, I intended to tell me teacher about my amazing dream. But she was too busy to hear my story. The next day though, I told her all about it. She was pretty busy but not as busy. I do not know if she liked my story, or even heard me say it. Adults seem to do that to me a lot nowadays. But, that is a topic for another time. Anyways, flying. I've never flown in a plane before. Not in my whole entire life. (don't snicker BFF or any of my friends who have) the reason of opportunity has not yet arisen. Yes. Driving all the way to Colorado is possible, and fun if you're me and have reading and writing material. Wow. Look at the topics I've told you about. Just by looking at the birds on my blog that I decided to visit since I didn't get the chance to calm down by reading before bed. .Thoughts lead to words. Words lead to actions. Actions build your character. Your character determines your destiny Boy does that sound like an awesome quote. Goodnight!!

Summer

According to Phineas and Ferb, there are 104 days of summer vacation. So far this summer I started Cat Nap and realized that I'm very far behind and that a stack of books that I haven't read are almost due, which makes me nervous. What also makes me nervous is that my sister, who started 12 days late, is catching up pretty fast. I'm at 7,504 words right now, which is really far behind. I should have about 21,666 words. Plus, I also have realized that my title may have to change, and that I dod do a lot of stuff during summer. Because I've been super busy. My sister is looking down on me, probably wondering why I'm not writing when I just told her that I was. Writing blocks are perilous in this type of writing and I'm not sure on how to approach my next move in my novel. I guess I'd better start writing. Have a happy summer!

Tears

I had an idea last night, and I think that it's a good story idea. The details are a little shaky since I only got one picture idea. (I might explain this later) The picture was........ A mature girl crying one tear of blood. Why she is crying, I don't know. Why is she bleeding, once again, I don't know. How is her, I don't know. What she has been through, a lot. Why has she suffered, I don't know. This one picture sounds so mysterious. The end of the school year is almost over. I wonder if my grades will be high enough to keep this iPad. But I just asked my teacher and she says that my grades are fine to keep it. This summer and before the school ends, I will be starting Cat Nap in June and also learning how to meditate. Sure, I haven't been working on NightWatcher a lot recently. But hey, I have around 37,120 words. Maybe I'll get 40k by June and then I can work on Cat Nap during the summer. I do have some time in May left, but not a lot. So I'd better get working on it soon. But so much school stuff is happening. Plus I'm reading a lot, which will help me in my creating. Speaking of tears, I can't believe how much I cried last month. Hopefully this will be a cry-free month. I dislike crying quite a bit. 5-16-12 Orry about the late date. I didn't have enough time to post it. Signing out,

My Thing

So, right now, I'm watching Disney Channel and they're advertising ClubPenguin about doing my thing on their game. Not so easy for me. Although I do like sports, the surfing is kind of boring. (my opinion entirely) I like soccer, singing, writing, and spending time outside. Though you probably already knew about the writing and soccer part, I do like to sing. Much to the annoyance to my classmates. -Ahem- you know who you are. Sure, I do sing/hum/tap out tunes during class, but I am allowed to sing outside right? Apparently to this person, I'm not allowed. Life is frustrating, but it's the only life I have. Now you're probably wondering what has happened to me since April. The weather certinly has gotten warmer. I've read quite a lot of good books lately. Such as; Gifted Out of Sight Out of Mind, Better Late Than Never. And Artemis Fowl. My best friend is taller than me and I'm very happy for her. Signing out, Beth

Forgive

Forgive whatever grievances you have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:13-14


Forgiving people for their wrongdoing is probably the hardest things to do in life. Because to forgive others, you also have to forgive yourself. This was something that I was thinking about last night as I went to bed. It's spring break and I'm having a fun time not having to worry about school and the fact that a friend is coming back. I'm also happy that I finished my math homework this morning too. I know I really should write my novel. I'm not as enthusiastic as I was before, which means that I need to get excited in it again. Probably because nobody's asking about it as much anymore. But back to forgiving. I don't know too much on the subject, but I think that the biggest and hardest part of forgiving somebody is forgiving yourself for letting it stay in your head, another big piece in forgiving is making it sure that it's sincere. Not forced, but true in your mind, feelings, and your heart.
I know that I should spend some time outside, because my eyes are too sleepy for this late in the morning. By the way, it's 10:53 a.m. I do need to practice. Remember to forgive and forget, not matter how mad it may make you.

Books

"It was the circus," I told them. In the cool light of morning, the words must have sounded more sane than they had the night before, because no one rushed to calm me this time. Everyone waited.
"The CoveOps report," Liz said. She pulled a chair closer and sank into it, as if my words had knocked her off her feet. She reached for the bag and found the dirty copy I'd retrieved from the embassy in Rome.
"What does that have to do with..." Bex started, but Liz was already to the page where I had talked about going to the circus with my father. It was nothing, really, a sentence or two that could have just as easily been left out.
And if it had been left out, then my life probably would have turned out very, very differently.


-quote from-Out of Sight Out of Time


-below a quote from-I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You


I remembered the time my dad took me to the circus. For two hours we sat side be side, watching the clowns and cheering for the lion tamer. But the part I remember most was when a man stepped out onto the high wire, fifty feet above the ground. By the time he reached the other side, five other people had climbed onto his shoulders, but I wasn't watching him-I was too busy staring at my father, who looked on as if he knew what it felt like, up there without a net.







I most definitely love series. Because the top quote is from book 5 and the second quote is from book 1. It's amazing how closely this author, Ally Carter, waved this story that forced me to read it again. I love it when that happens. When I'm an author, I hope I weave it better than anybody can imagine. Leaving details that anybody, even a spy, might overlook, then make it a huge deal in the end, surprising the readers and practily forcing them to re-read the books the see if they can catch that detail. So tightly woven that every sentence is important to the characters lives. The only way that this can possibly happen, of course, is experience. Write many stories. See if they get published. Work hard to get them to the world. This is my dream. This is my possibility. This is who I'm going to be. An author. I adore books, adore writing, and I have an open mind. Plus, I'm not afraid to show the world tidbits of how my mind works, along with the wisdom I've gained in life.
Nobody says that life would be easy. Just that it would be worth it.
I love this piece of wisdom. It gives life a whole new meaning.
If your here for the ride, expect some troubles
Life is totally worth it if it isn't given to you. Happiness isn't things. It's the things that hold great memories.

If I don't become an author, I might work in a library or create tv cartoons of cartoon games like Maplestory, ClubPenguin, Poptropica, and Webkinz.

Friday

The most recent Friday, I learned very early that my winter are not water-proof at all. We were walking to band in the morning around 8:47 a.m and I decided to walk through a very deep puddle. My first three steps my socks and books were soaked. I panicked and jumped out. That puddle was about knee-high deep. So during band, I had to wring out the slippers in my boots and play my horn I'm very cold, very wet socks. By the time it was 2:30 p.m, my socks were still wet and my boots were still soaked. That day I learned that my boots aren't water-proof at all.

Winter of 2011-2012

This winter has been one of the weirdest winters I've ever experienced. We've never had ground covering snow for more than 6 days, then a warm front comes and we have barely any snow for a while. Like last week. About 2 weeks ago it was always warm and fairly sunny. Then Friday night, last week, we got more than 15 inches of wet snow. Branches broken, power lines down all over the place, and of course, bushes flattened to something like a pancake. My family was one of the lucky ones. On Saturday morning, we only had power outages for about 2-6 minutes and off then on flashes. While others didn't get power until like this past Friday. A week later. What did I do while we had oh so mush snow? I saved trees with my dad, with a stick. Then I spent about a half an hour saving my moms lilacs. I was a warrior in training. That day was so boring. No Internet. Just books and the outdoors. I spent so much of my time outside, I have no idea why I spent so much time inside reading. Now today, we barely have any snow. Not one flake of snow is on the trees now, just broken branches to remind us of the devastion that heavy wet over 15 inches of snow did.

Nothing too interesting has happened since I last posted. I got four new pairs of jeans and a pair of sweatpants. I'm still young and I've gotten over 34k words for my novel in progress. But I can't wait for June so then I can get started on a new novel idea. Typing ym novel right now is actually very tedious. Who would've thought of it. Plus I'm always spelling "my" backwards when I type. -above- I would correct it, but I don't feel like it. I wonder what would happen to the world if magic was proven true today. It would be all over the news, kids would try it out, the government would freak, scientists would try to prove it wrong. Maybe even say that those people were wrong and they got the facts wrong. It would be chaos.
On a different note, my sisters hair right now is dark red and really pretty. Red-brown. My sister says that in the sun that my hair turns blondish-brown.
Maplestory is still fun and I definitely advise you to play it. It's easy to be sociable and you learn a lot about yourself. Like if you would really take somebody else's items. Hehe. That was me today. Sorry person from Chaos. ARainDragon is very sorry for taking your familiar cards. :(

Maplestory

Even though millions of people around the world play this online universe, only my family in my town plays this game. My classmates at school know a little bit about Maplestory because of my excitement for the game. But whenever I wrote about it last year, they all groaned and shouted, "not maplestory again!" this year, whenever I'm really excited about something, they assume it's maplestory. I always replied this year, "it's not about maplestory. I haven't played that game in a long time. Though it is really fun." they always say it's sounds boring but only two of my friends have played. My best friend, and my neighbor. My best friends computer really disliked maple and they had to get a new computer. My neighbors. They just didn't want to take 4 hours with dial up to download the game. I tell you. It's a fun game. One of my many characters, ARainDragon, which is a dragon master, lvl 63 is totally awesome and my main character. My sister is playing maple right now. It's Friday today and we have no school! Hooray! We can play maple all day. Sort of. Not literally. Our hands would die if we did that. As I'm typing on this blog, I can feel spider webs on my arms. Now they itch. I think I'll move. -moves to a chair- ok I moved. I think I should watch her. It'll be fun.

Adios!

Hello there!

Happy Valentines Day! I guess I should say that. Plus Happy Birthday to my friend. Even though I've probably said that a thousand times already today. Friday through Sunday, I was in the U.P. Going to Winter Carnival for the first time I remember. It was fun. My brother helped make two 1st place winners. I've very proud.
During my sisters basketball game my word count was raised to 33,107 words. Part of it was during the varsity game when I should have been watching my cousin play. But I did watch a lot of those games. Don't you worry.
During Winter Carnival, mom says I froze off a lot of my hand skill cells. My sister says that I got frostbite. What is frostbite anyway. But I couldn't find my fingerless glove. So when we walked for a long period of time, I wore my mittens.
Soon I'll be playing three sports at once. Basketball, volleyball, and soccer is coming up. We've been practicing basketball since January. Our first game is coming in March. I've never played Volleyball before. I hope it's really fun. I don't know who is going to be my soccer coach this year since I'm trying out a new school. See which school I should go to for high school. Because I want to be in collage soccer, maybe even pros. For school in the present, I'm going to be writing a research essay on the country Qatar. Yes, I did spell that right. I have my introduction written out already. Which was my homework tonight. Right now my parents and sister is reviewing my sisters game and pointing out what she could work on.
For Valentines Day I got a lot of yummy candy. Only three pieces of candy that I didn't like.

So I want to type out my novel in progress in Google Docs, but I can't find the button that says Create. My sister can't find it either. And she has one too. I guess I'm really concerned about the safety of my precious writing. I don't want it to get lost. I could type it on FB. But I'm not allowed to be on FB during school hours. So I guess that wouldn't work. But I could ask the administrator if I could for only those purposes. I think I'll ask her tomorrow. Ugh! Why do I have troubles spelling tomorrow!
Mom's hinting me that I need to go to bed really soon. I've updated. I wonder what my teacher thinks of all the stuff I've posted and even if she's read it at all, which I doubt. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have time.
Hmm let's see if I can spell this
Leopluradon.
Nope. Spelled it wrong. Though it doesn't have any suggestions for it to replace. - sighs- I have better get to bed. I'm exhausted! Night!

Bored

I'm really bored right now. Sure I could type my novel in progress, or even better, write some more. I'm watching TV and on FB and just finished my spelling. My little cousins are coming over tomorrow. I wonder what cool thing they'll say. Once June comes, I'm going to participate in Camp Nano! I already know what I'm going to write about.
The Girl That Changes Into. Cat
Yes. THAT idea. I could start right now, but I should finish NightWatcher first. But I'm at a fork in the road. I could go one way and have the soldiers take away th e king and the gang has to get him back, or they have to run away from the soldiers. There would be a lot of action either way. If they run, then there would be a lot of suspence, and they could stumble across more items along the way. Or they have to get the king out of a tower which could end up with a lot of fighting, putting their search to a halt. Hey, that sounds good. Thanks for the help. Maybe I can write a bit more tonight. Ive better get off the Internet. I'm not supposed to be on it past 9 it's 9:12 no matter what this blog says that I posted this. Because technology is crazy. Good night!

New

I got new bed cover things today. Now my raggedy, hole infested, threadbare bed covers are going to burn. Wahooooo! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Ahhhh I'm so tired. Super bowl Sunday was yesterday. The New York Giants won. But I was rooting for the commercials. I played ping pong, went iceskating, and of course, watched the game. ......... A little bit...... I only saw one person get hurt, but my sis said that at least four on one team got hurt. Ouch.
Oh so much drama at school. We're so going to lose even more of our privileges if we keep up the drama. We already lost our lunch/recess bit without the little kids, and the sledding hill for first recess. Not that I really care about the latter very much
But I got new SHEEETSS!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!
My cough came back. And it came back hard. So right now I feel miserable and really tired. Plus a melted mind. Don't ask why because I have no idea why.
But, NEW SHEETS!!!! I think you're now understanding the significance of this statement. I don't ever remember buying brand new sheets. Until now. I'm glad that I have a blog so I can remember this day.
Valentines day is in 8 days. I would tell you my secret valentine is, but, well, my teacher, mom, and principal can read this at any moment. I'm not ready for them to know yet. Even if it would freak out my best friend and make my valentine feel nice. Ut we all need that don't we? The need to feel special to someone? Yes. I think we do. No doubt about it.
I'm insane and loving it.
Ooooooo new story idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

insane and loving it
The story would be about a person who is told by the doctor that that person is insane. Then they eventually realize their mistake. Everybody is insane.


I hope that sounds interesting.
So I'm going to enter a contest for art. I can do anything that involves art. except
photography. What should I do. I think I'm going to draw. Because I enjoy drawing. But what. A character in a book? Something with water. But not a beach. A glass of water? My dream house? Something to do with a clock sounds interesting.
Boy I love brainstorming on here.
I have better do something other than this. Bye bye!

Still Sick

I'm still sick here. But I went to the doctor again today and left with two different medicines. An inhaler, and some pills. No, I do not have asthema. Just snot in my lungs. I think by the end of the month I should be ok.
It's 1:29 pm and I'm not at school because I should be sleeping. I am tired, but I'm not sick enough to take a well needed nap. I made my goal to get to 30k words by then end of January. Now it's February. What should my goal be this month? I know! How about 35k by the end of this short month! I think it sounds good. I hope I get better soon and can manage my anger issues before the world ends! ( which my Sunday school teacher says will happen before I die) but I don't think Israel is it's own nation yet. Well, I better try and sleep! Adios!

I know I haven't written a story yet, so I think I will now. But just let me eat lunch first. Why can't I figure out how to change the date!?! Let's see. A topic........ Ok, I can't figure out a topic. Right now it's after school. I didn't catch this after lunch because I was busy calming down after recess. Wait! Now I have a topic



Nobody's adventure with the boot

The was a girl named Nobody one winter day, she had some enemies. So Nobody was playing queen on the mountain with some friendly folks. But the teams were uneven. So one of her friends al Ed some of his friends to join his team. Up came some boys that would just crush them just by landing on them, by that, I mean Birdie. Birdie was big, and sometimes mean. But the girls still tried to beat them.
During the game, the girls were doing well and not injured by Birdie or his gang. Until Nobody grabbed Birdie's leg a would not let go. Birdie yelled at Nobody to let go in not a very kind tone. "Let go! Let go!" Birdie yelled in his nasty voice. But Nobody doesn't respond to unkind tones. So Nobody didn't let go. Again and again Birdie yelled at Nobody to stop. But this was a game. Finally, Birdie yelled, "Let go or I'll kick you in your face!" but Nobody didn't let go. So up and down came Birdie's foot. Pound, pound into Nobody's face, nose, and shoulder. After awhile it was too much for Nobody.
Nobody let out an inaudible scream that was a sentence that nobody knew. Then, still holding unto Birdie's leg, started to shake and cry. Nobody let out another scream at Birdie that was inaudible. Then Birdie ran away and also started to sob. Nobody's friends tried to comfort Nobody, but she couldn't stop the hurt and surprise that Birdie would actually do such a thing. nobody's best friend wanted to get a teacher, but Nobody didn't want one. She thought that she would just get told off and get another boring lecture on the fact that when somebody does something mean to you, you do something nice to them. Nobody didn't need that. I would just make her sadder. Nobody cried about all the mean things that happened to her. -when Birdie sat on her and snow went up her nose, the repetitive kicks to the face, people telling her to stop, but not telling her what to stop, and people, even her friends for not entirely understanding her.
Once Nobody stopped crying, the bell rang, and they had to go inside. Once they were at the door, they had to wait because to teachers never opened the locked door after the bell rang. Then Nobody started to get really scared. Because nothing hurt. Nobody was so scared of that fact that she started to cry again. All the time, her head hurts, her stomach, and her ankles always hurt. But after getting hit in the face with a very hard boot, Nobody felt absolutely no pain. After awhile of freaking out about the no pain thing, the teachers finally opened the door. Everybody walked in, including Nobody. By the time Nobody walked, for she was the last, a teacher knew most of the story. Nobody didn't make it to the basement where everybody else was. She was so Afraid. But nobody understood why it was so scary. Even the teacher. Nobody and Birdie ended up down in the basement together, trying to calm down. After a while Nobody and Birdie apologized to each other and forgave. Then they went to class. Once again, Nobody was the last to go upstairs because she still had to collect herself. Nobody is fine now except for the marks on her face. She will be fine until her next breakdown or fight.


I'm not going to say where I got this idea from. But I hope you like it.

Worms

I was just on FB when one of my friends posted a link that was about Capri Sun. It was super gross. The article was about people finding an unexpected prize in their Capri Sun. A worm.
Yeah you heard me. A worm. Going through their straw. It said that the company that carries Capri Sun knows about the worms and they blame it on the progressing From the factory to the store. But a worm in your Capri Sun? Yuck!!! They're even YouTube videos of people finding worms in their Capri Sun. I might look at it later, and the google search the blogger said popped right up after they typed "Capri sun w" that is so gross.

Results

So the other close cut blog posts were; Random, and Most Interesting Thing I Did Today. But the longest one was the post below this one. If only we all got along together, then we would have world peace. This might be a short post because im going to my sisters basketball game soon. I finally remember what my blog is for. This blog is sapossed to be our journal for us to type nonstop like we sometimes do on paper. Next year we're most likely going to get planners for our room. I've seen one of them, and they are sweeeeeeeeet! I think that I would totally use it. I think that I'm the only one who actually sees this blog. -sigh- I really need to write in my story in I'm going to get 30k words by the end of January. Hiyaaa to another short post. Just about time to go. I have better get ready to leave.

Goals

I like goals. Not just the soccer type of goals. The things of I-will-make-sure-that-this-thing-happens-at-it's-best-possible-way type of goal. My goals are to write as much as possible today, my blog, and my unfinished novel, and finish my math. Because I've had the whole weekend and a snow day to do it. Right now, I'm going to try and make this the longest post I've ever done. If I'm going for a world record, them I'm going to have to do research. Maybe I should post my idea for a story I came up with yesterday. But then you could write it and I would have no proof of copy-rights. Oh well. It won't be the same as it could be in my mind. I want to be non varying about what others think so I can be me to the fullest. Any who, here's my idea;



A girl is skiing at home when she falls down and lands in a yellow patch of snow. Face first. Then she fells herself change. Soon, she is smaller and fuzzier and have retracting claws. As she diggs into the snow and creates a burrow. But she's confused about what happened to her. Suddenly she's a human again. But this girl wants proof that she turned into a cat. So she somehow changes back into a cat. then she puts her paw into a clear patch of snow, leaving her paw print. Then she goes back to a human again and sees the paw print. But she's not convinced. The girl starts to walk, changing from cat to human and back to cat, repeating. As a human she looks back at her foot prints. Some are hers for some yards, the a cats paw prints for some more yards. It's true. She can turn into a cat.
Then she finds this dojo somehow and learns that there are other people who can turn into other animals at will. Dogs, mice, rats, beavers, ants, gorillas, Bigfoot, snakes, any animals can be found in the dojo. Except cats. First of all, cats are a rare and scary breed, plus, if you are a cat, then you don't go to the dojo. Because, you can't teach a cat any tricks. They can only learn it themselves or they already know it, by instinck. So the girl does stuff and learns about her trade and gets into all sorts of trouble.



I came up with this while playing outside in the snow. I like to imagine myself as a cat, but I dislike being with cats. I'm not an animal type of person, or a people type of person. That is also why being an author would be about the best job for me.
Hey, I guess I wrote my longest blog post in my life. Hopefully there will be many more like this to come. I could be awesome and post a poem I wrote last night. Just to be sure that it's the longest. I'll try.



Going to bed now
To fall into the wonders of sleep
Rest peacefully 
Rest peacefully
What is it like to sleep
To sleep without counting thousands of sheep
Tell me tell me
It's wonderful 
It's awesome
Rest peacefully 
Rest peacefully
To really sleep is like 
Falling 
Falling into a deep deep epic pit
Where you can finally have peace
Rest peacefully
Rest peacefully
Where closing your eyes 
Is the best thing in the world
Rest peacefully
Rest peacefully
The only place where you actually are yourself
Rest peacefully 
Rest peacefully
So fall into the grand pit
Where it feels so wonderful
You do not want to get out
Rest peacefully 
Rest peacefully
I'm going there now
Rest peacefully 
Rest peacefully
So don't disturb me
Don't make me get out of bed
So that wonderful sleep can fix my head
I'm going now
Don't disturb
I'm going to rest
I'm going to the pit
The pit of sleep 
It's not a trap i tell you
It's a haven
Where rest is the best that can happen
Rest peacefully
Rest peacefully
To the pit I go
Till morning is here
Where waking up is the worst thing there


I hope you like my idea and my poem. I've only read it about three times. Please don't steal my idea. For you will know forever that it was never your idea in the first place and that you didn't get that idea like I did. But now I know that this is the longest post I've ever done before.


Thanks.

Signing out,

I-ma-gi-na-tion

Imagination is key to writing. Stories, poems, everything and anything. Imagination is like thinking. Actually, it pretty much is thinking. I'm pretty sure I know what my pen name should be. I'll tell you the first name. Faith. That was one of the possibilities that I was going to be named Faith. I got a whole lot of writing done today. Over a thousand words. And it was during school too. All of it. Most of it on the bus when we went n our field trip today. We saw Billy Jonas perform today. We made up a song. It's called "it's my doggie, its my baby, it's my Elvis" it's pretty funny. I would sing it to you. But........ This post can't carry sound. Plus I don't feel like typing the whole song down.

Joy

Woot! I'm in dire need to fully congratulate myself in a very important accomplishment. Do you want to know what that is? I bet you do. Right now it's 25,100 words long. Do YOU know what that means!?! I'm HALFWAY DONE WITH MY NOVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could write a million exclamation marks and it would not show how excited I am. My fist was and still is pumping the air, my voice yelling my pride in a half first draft, and the happiness that filled me up like a helium balloon. And you know what else is super exciting?????? It's my sisters 15th birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today is a very good day.lus I had very yummy chicken with a lot of yummy ketchup. Plus, we had three recesses!!!! First recess: 20 minutes. Second recess: 30 minutes. Gym (our gym teacher wasn't there so we just had recess: 40 minutes. Can you believe it!!?!!!????!!!???!!?!??? An hour and a half of being outside in the snow, just listening to the Yeti howl at us and we're responding back to it. ( we assume I t was a guy messing with us, or the echo of cows.) and sledding. My snowstuff is soooooo wet.. :) today is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very great day. :)

Sick

I skipped some school today, to go to the doctor to check to see if I'm sick or just have a cold.(which I guess means being sick) I found out I have a virus of some sort. A raking cough of some sort. But I left two important things at school that I need to entertain myself that isn't the computer of watching tv. I forgot my notebook that Im writing my novel in and a book to read. I hurt all over and I'm bored, and school isn't even done yet, and it has been snowing all day. Mom and I had a lot of fun running errands with snow dumping on us left and right and above. (I forgot how to spell above, "is it Upove? opove???????????? ...... Oh yeah above" I got the car all wet. In order to get "better" I'll have to take a pill for four days in a row and two pills today. Right now my sister just learned how to swallow a pill. I'm so proud of her. I have quite a bit of homework from staying away from school for pretty much the whole day. Although I just have math left. My most tedious subject. But if I finish that, then I'm free to write without worries and DES rifle hoping for a snowday. The way the snow is falling right now, I think we will. My sisters birthday is tomorrow. Her 15th birthday. Yes it's the same one who learned how to swallow today. I'm glad she can do it now. I have better get off the topic of her otherwise she'll get mad at me for teasing her about it. I know I really should do my math, I have learned only half the lesson my teacher assigned us today. I really want to write oh so badly. I'm terrible at playing fruit ninja. After a few more games of fruit ninja, I'm getting better. I really should go do my math. Oh yes, about 55 more days until Out Of Sight Out Of Time comes out! Sooooooo excited!

No title

I have no idea what to post. But I do know that I need to post soon otherwise it will drive me crazy. In my novel in progress, well, let's say that I'm doing terrible. I'm not even halfway to 50 thousand words. I'm at 23,100 words. This has taken me over three months!!!
At least I've been doing a lot of reading though. I've started To Kill A Mockingbird. I'll give you my opinion once I've finished the book. I'm curious about how I'm going to get the money so I can get my "library" when I grow up. Will it be because I wrote so many books? A singer? A dancer? Somebody who proved that nobody can be normal or insane? Somebody who ran for president? I have no idea. But that's the fun part of life, right? Not knowing what's going to happen in the future. One thing that I hope will happen is that I have a lot of really good books. Maybe I'll be a pro soccer player. But I don't know. What I do know is that I love to read. I. Hope it will stay that way for the rest of my life.

2012

It is 2012!!!!! I spent the last moments of 2011 in a car heading home to watch the ball drop into 2012. Didn't exactly make it. We were ten minutes away from home. My New Years Resolution is to finish my first draft. (I'm at a 23,000 word count.) them I'm going to read as many books I can and type my rough draft, then hopefully work on it and see if it was worth my trouble. At the new tear party I played games with some old buddies I hadn't seen in a while. Yes I'm mentioning you Ryan and Rachel. Happy New Year!!!
Ok I just realized that the time that I post is way off. I'm in my bed typing this at 1:14am. So it's off a few hours. Happy New Year!

Gelukkig Nieuwjaar !!!!



That's Dutch for......

Happy new year!!!!
