Nicole is gangsta wit a blog, yo.

Lately, I can't stop speaking gangsta. I call everybody bro, homie, dog, etc, and when someone says "hi", I say "sup". Even I'm getting sick of it! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP!zjdhkfanfddcivhe

Anyway, I've made the blog for my novel :D

http://makingofmynovel.blogspot.com/

The layout isn't finished yet and there are no posts (except for the one titled with a comma), but you should check it outtt(:.

Sarah: Check it out?

I've posted my story on OSAAWAKMS. Just to let you know... ;)

Please check it out when you've got the time. It's only two chapters. Thanks!

Kas: Plot is done!

Well, it took me a few hours, but i've finally managed to re-work my plot and i love it so much! Its great. Haha.

Im not going to give you guys much, and none of you will get to read this plot outline.. Ha!

Not because i dont trust you or anything like that, but i've worked it so that no one will be able to tell who is, and who isn't. There are two sides to the story, and they switch from good to bad a few times in the whole thing. You'll think you know who is telling the truth, and then i flip it on you! Which is why you can't read it, because that would ruin the surprise... which is the end of the book! If you read it you would know who ends up being evil, and thats no fun.

But, i can tell you that im really, really excited about this one. Im actually planning on getting at least a thousand words written tonight. :)

Malkini.
"It was all shattering around me."

Maiah: I'm Dumb

Ommmmmmmg.
My life sucks.
Nuff said.

On the other hand, my life rocks! Only because I bought a notebook that says "SASQUATCH" on the cover.
And on the inside, it says "Find your Inner Sasquatch."

Hahaha. I lovvvve it. :]
But still....
Life sucks.

Anyways, I just wanna say that I haven't been doing much writing lately, since I've been so busy. But definitely soon, I'll be able to pick back up with it.

I'm just so busy with school, and I have extremely bad allergies and I've been having horrible headaches and I've been feeling so tired it's as if I haven't slept in 3 years. Literally.

So I haven't really been in the mood to write. But it'll pass soon. Hopefully. Haha. And if not, then whatever. I'll just force myself to write! lol

Alright, I'm gonna go now and stop wasting your life. Bye.

Kas: :(

I miss Heather.

But, she comes back in 6 days so i'll manage.

Anyways, so i stayed home from school today because i has a migrane this morning. So now i get to do a lot of writing, since i cant go anywhere tonight now...

But, im still working on the new plot line of Malkini, and im tryignt o figure out what i can salvage from the old version... ugh.

Im hoping to figure out most of the plot tonight, and maybe get a little written... :)

I'll make another post later with some actual details ont eh new story.

-K

Ned. Deviant art?

Did I tell you guys about my deviant art?

Oh.

Well.

Heres the link.

http://thewingsofateen.deviantart.com/

CHECK IT OUT.

(Yeah. Thats right. I'm just asking.)
That was an order.

Pure and simple.

-Ned.

Ned. Who out there actually READ Unwanted?

I have GREAT news!
I started writing again!
Like legit writing. Not just, "oh I'm writing" but really I have the doc open and am also drawing a picture kind of writing.

Now this leads me to the title question.
Did anyone actually read Unwanted? Because I wrote the first part over, and I wanted to know if someone would go over it and tell me if its better then the first, or if you liked the first one more.

Okay.
BYE!

Kas: IDEA!

Lightbulb*

Haha. Anywayzzz, so i miss having a blog for just Malkini. I was thinking about going back to my old one, but now i just feel like starting a new one. :)

I know that a lot of ppl have been starting personal blogs, but im not really that kind of person. Lol. I like to keep my personal thoughts in my head, they might offend ppl. :/

-K

Kas: Im such a complete total failure at life.

Hahaha.

So, im starting over again. Don't yell at me. :(

I've kind of gotten sick of my story, sigh. So now im re-creating it. Its going to be completely different now. Haha. Its actually an idea i've had for another story for a while, but since i've been so irritated with Malkini, im using the idea for it instead.

I know, i know. I think i just heard Maiah sigh. Hahaha. Shes heard every different version this story has ever had. I think there must be around 6 or 7 now.

Im hoping this is the last time i do this, because i had four chapters done before, and now im having to scrap almost all of it. I might be able to recycle a few parts, like the dream and bits of the beginning, but everything else is gone. :(

I've decided to stop editing again, i tried once, and failed. But im goignt o try really hard this time. Just writing, no editing. Cross your fingers. :)

-K

Maiah: No More Editing.

I'm done editing my writing. I spend so much time editing everything that I write, I don't have time to write!

So. I'm making a vow to only edit after my entire novel is written. Yikes. I know. I'll totally fail. Haha.

However, after I finish a chapter, I will re-read it and gloss over any mistakes and do a simple check. Only one. Otherwise I'll never get this thing written because I'll be spending a month on editing a chapter hahaha.

Yeap. That's it. Bye. :D

Dustin:Story=Video? E=Impossible?

Well, No i'm not going to do a report on writin', more random shit if anything. So anyways I've been designing my own shirts...Which has been a half fail but also half most awesome idea ever. Either way I've had to edit pictures...And well its been fun as fuck xD

Either way It started a few ideas in my mind. What if I used pictures and words together in a video too make an online story? Instead of having just the words have a picture to accompony it. Then I thought "What if I had someone reading it too?"

Read too you, words on screen, picture of awesomeness in the background. I say it sounds good. But...I need a story =O
I realy don't want to post my story in a video thing because well. I never finish a story! =O

So if anyone has a story that they would be willing to work with me too make this video for youtube or any other thing possible - do message me in the comment section...

Also tell me if you want to do the voice thing where your voice tells the words that appear upon thee screen. (I'm realy hoping this project won't be a major fail)

Either way..that is all. Peace, The F-ck, out.
Did i just censor myself! =O

P.S I have written a bit. I lied. But it's a rant about Global Warming and a letter too convince a girl that writing isnt a chore..xD If you want too see an epic rant/debate the link is..well here!
http://storywrite.com/story/498788
just copy and paste it into yo bar. Yes Yo bar, not your bar, yo bar.

Kas: Maiah!

Hahaha, I was bored, so i was reading me and maiah's old emails.

Did you know that three days ago was our friend-iversary? Yep. You sent me the first email, via Y!A, on Aug. 25th, 2009. Hahaha. Wow.

Thats amazing. :)

-K

Sarah: My own personal blog!

http://sarahserentipity.blogspot.com/

^^^ You can find it there. I'm very excited about it. In fact, I'll probably blog more there than I will here. Check it out! =)

Nicole: :D HAPPYzcs

I started writing my first chapter probably a week or two ago now, and I just couldn't continue writing it because I wasn't happy with the opening. I'd tried writing the rest of it and coming back to the beginning, but it's just not in my nature to write out of order. But I finally have my opening paragraphs :D! I know, it's only like two, but I'm really happy with them.

WOOWOO. I'm gonna go keep writing. I wish I could write for the whole day, but I have a sixteenth to go to tonight (Sex and the City themed :D, can't wait!) and then having a friend sleep. Ugh, but I never get pimples and the one night I wanna go out, I get a big, fat red one above my lip >:(! I hope it goes down soon.

Nat: New Blog! And New Story!

I started my own personal blog tonight, where I'm going to post once a day, I think. It's called Ashton, Actually (ashtonactually.blogspot.com), if you want to check it out. I'm posting the synopsis of my new story on there tomorrow. I'm quite excited about it, it's more romance then anything I've done before. =)

I also didn't sleep last night. I had a bunch of friends over and we watched movies and talked and decided to just not go to sleep. Then there was an incident involving a cardboard tube and fitting 5 people into a single bed. And the night before that I only got 5 hours of sleep, so now I am going to pass out...

[EDIT]: My synopsis of my new story is up on my new blog! :)

Heather: Me, Again. I Know.

Hello, hello, hello.
I'm here to tell you all goodbye as I will be leaving for Norway tomorrow.
And I still have to do laundry, pack, and clean. :' (
But, uhh, NORWAY! ;)
That lessens my mood on the whole cleaning thing. :D
Alright, well, bye guys, I'll be back on labour day.
The day before school starts. :S
Bye!

Cori: Vacation...sucks...

All right. I know I haven't been on in a while and all, and there is a very good reason for this. One word: vacation. I mean, I was really looking forward to the first day of school because of many reasons. The main reason is because I finished Escape of the Thief for the fourth time, fourth draft, and I've found an agent that suits me. But enough about that...I mean, my dad grounded me six times in a row for multiple reasons, a feat that has stunned even me XD!
There's one good thing about my late return to school (which began almost two days ago now), though. Now I get to make my late and dramatic entrance. How awesome is that? lol
Well, I hope you guys are all doing well and that your writing is going good, and I might get on later or tomorrow to see what's been going on in the time that I haven't been able to get on! :)
Cori out.

Maiah: School.

Today was my second day of school. Ew. I hate that word.
School. It makes me wanna hurl. Hahah

Anyways...so far, things are going...okay. There's a couple people who have talked to me and been really nice and waved to me, and smiled at me. Which makes me really happy.
But then there's a few people who are really rude, and who have tried to trip me an what not. It really doesn't bother me, because I just find that completely immature.

But yeah! There have been a lot of nice people so far, and I've already made some friends.(:

And on the plus side, a ton of the guys are really tall, and super hot. Eek! I think I might be in heaven. hahaha. Cute boys, decent teachers, a few friends...I think I'll call that success. Haha.

Oh! Also, I have a Johnny Depp bag that I absolutely adore, and I use it as my backpack, and this girl came up to me and was like, "Oh my god, I love your bag! Johnny Depp is amazing! Can I set my bag next to yours!?" Hahaha she's really nice. And funny. (:

And a girl on my bus actually met Johnny Depp. My future husband. My lover. My soulmate....
Wtf. That's so unfair. Boo. D;

Haha well that's all for now. I've been extremely busy, so I haven't gotten very much writing done. :/

Bye!

Sarah: Which title is better?

If you were to see a book on the shelf, which would you pick up and buy?

The Totally True Lies of Honor O' Hara

OR

Hang in There, Mr. Gray

Here's an excerpt to help you decide.
(c) Sarah Goebel. No stealing internet users.

I was lying.

If you hadn’t figured that out by now, you should probably call the stupid police because, obviously, you need to be detained. If you had, bravo for you.

So why was I lying? Not all of it was exactly, totally, completely a lie. In fact, most of that story was stretched truth.

Truth: I was born where there is nothing to do. Like, ever. And it’s sorta in the middle of nowhere, though that’s not the name of the country.

Truth: I did belong to the misfits, but they haven’t kicked me out or stolen my pudding. They all go my school and are my good friends. Though it would have been cooler if they were pirates.

Truth: I have been to the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas. My parents took me and my sisters on a vacation there last year. Both Hope and Chasity had an excellent time. I ended up with sun poisoning.

See? I was telling the truth.

Lie: I have never been to Australia, though I want to go so very badly. But Chas and Hope outvoted me, complaining that the plane ride would be too long and there was nothing to do in stupid Australia.

Excuse the hell out of me.

Lie: I’d kill to go to boarding school. Anything to get away from my family and their togetherness. (Insert shudder right here).

Lie: I didn’t even want to meet the President Marshall.

Lie: Much to my regret, I had never, nor would I ever, marry a prince. Even if I did love him. Why? Because my prince was Skylar Gardner and he was totally in the hands of Dree Woodrow.

If you’re going to know anything about me, it’s this: I lied. Everybody does it; no one wants to admit it.

Are you still awake? I hope so, because this stupid assignment is worth half my grade.

I promise it’ll be worth it. You’ll find out how in just a few short months I went from zero to hero, met the President, completed a triple-dog-dare and kissed Skylar Gardner right on the lips in front of the whole school.

Hang in there, Mr. Gray. We’ll discover the truth together.

Heather: Nalin:)

Hello,
I was just thinking, about a lot of stuff - writing wise, and I read over both Nalin and Prowlers.. and Nalin is definitely my favourite. No contest.
It was just my first chapter - part of it is somewhat rushed and I was having issues while I tried to fix it, but I've moved on from that and I went over my plot work and I have nearly every single detail. At least - any detail of importance.
So, I'm going to stick to Nalin.
I have no idea why I didn't get this conclusion before.
Ugh.
So much wasted time.
I'm excited to get working on it again though.
I haven't worked on it for, like, two entire days! Gasp! ;)

Nicole: My life is almost complete :D...

Okay, not really. My life will be complete when I finish writing an entire book.

But it could partially be complete tomorrow when I get my copy of Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, the prequel to The Mortal Instruments :DDDDDDDJSHfuyhwuyefuoqw8yhfuyewudyuiddhasbfhsadksfhb <<<<< my excitement... times a thousand. They've put my copy on hold, and I thought that I wasn't going to able to get it tomorrow because of some stupid work experience forms I have to get this dude to sign, but I CAN :D!!!kajfn I'm pumped... you should be too.

Maiah: Hahahahahhaha.

M: I NEED YOUR HELP.

Z: WHAT

M: An older guy wants my number. Should I give it to him?

Z: Hell no, he wants to rape you.

M: Oh my god, he does not!



This is a conversation I just had with my best guy friend.
And that above, is why I love him. hahahahahahaha(:

Heather: Just to Point it Out.

None of you posted your words counts for this week.... Just so you know(;

Nicole... likes wasting time.

Just for some fun (and because I like wasting time) I've made a full cover for Back In Town(:.



I might make a bigger version some other time. I'm about halfway through my first chapter, so I'm gonna go work on that. I promise, no more covers... for now.

Woops, just noticed all of the typos on the back of the cover, :S please ignore.

Nat: Hair cut/colour!

Yep, I got a hair cut, and I got highlights. Just in time for school registration tomorrow. I love it! :)

Maiah: good luck tomorrow, you'll do awesome.
Dustin: welcome back!

And that's all I have to say.

Oh, and a word of advice: when making toast, it helps to plug the toaster in first.

[EDIT]: This is post number 666! Ahhh! (I'm just kidding; I'm not superstitious or anything.)

Dustin:I've been..Away xD

Hello - Hello.
Well I've been away for quite some time, I do apologize. For both the fact i've been away and that this post will be as cheesy as accidently on purpose.

I've written squat in the past week(s). Mainly because I've been chillin' and getting my volunteer hours done to grad. Highschool. I have all 60/40 of them. Yes i did 50% over the grad. But hey you can't just abadoan kids at a camp that you help mid-week can you?

Either way I was strollin' on the writing site I use but Im sure none of you have heard of - Storywrite.com
So either way I wrote a poem based on that single story I read today. 'ere it is so don't call me lazy for not writing!
P.S I've also seen a fall in activity..school for the americians eh? xD I got till sep.7

Sun has fallen…
Chills of heaven...
Night has cloaked the skies

Time is laughin’…
As it ticks past seven…
Her defenses are only lies

Alone
In the Zone
She freezes instantly

Fiends…
From the underworld…
Lurk closer to the girl,

Fiends…
As her world begins to swirl…
Surrounded is the girl

Her defenses fall
She’s up against the wall

Anguish is soon to follow…

Poison seeps through her veins
Was her life but only in vain?...
***
Behold!
Now we are told!
Given a reason to be bold!
Seconds can kill
At ones will!!

Thus,
Men and women arise
Thus,
We will look to the skies
We have angered our Lord,
Our Salvation
Thus we will pick up sword,
As a nation

Original story I read
http://storywrite.com/story/497374?feature=34298

Heather: S a v v y .

I love that word.
So very, very much.
Also, I have 16 days until I go back to school. Suckers. (:
Ten of those days are spent in Norway.
Be jealous. (;
I've been looking forward to this trip for six years.
Now, all I can think is finally.
I think I've used up my patience.
:)
And.. uh, I'll probably add an edit to this post later - as I forget what I wanted to say here. :D
Oops. : /

OH! And good luck tomorrow, Maiah!

Ned Has now decided Kelley Armstong is the coolest person on earth.

XD
Sorry.
She's my favourite author.
As old SAAWAKM-ers know.
And I plan on becoming her bfyoffl (Best Fourteen year old friend for life.)

Yes Sage. I know.
BAITLYFE.
-Ned.

I have to drop out.

This sucks.
I was winning and everything.
My heart hurts.
I guess this hole laptop thing means I have to drop out.
I really wanted a shirt too.
I hate this.
I'm sorry. But all my imagination is gone for now. I need a break from writing. Just for a little.
I never thought I'd ever say that.
But writing just hurts.
Everything hurts.
So much is gone.
So much.
If I was your typical teen, I probably say my life is over.
but no. The tran of life, is still chugging away. Dragging me along with it.
Stupid train.

Maiah: hmph.

Tuesday is my first day of school. And it's my first day at an entirely new school, in an entirely new place, with entirely new people.
I literally know no one. I haven't even been inside the school before!

So yes. You could say that I am extremely nervouse, to say the least. And I have no idea what to expect. Wish me luck. :/

Nat: Time for a change?

I love the SAAWAKM header we have now, but I thought maybe it was time for a change. So I made a few. (I made about 5 but these are the 2 I like best.) :)

Opinions? I'm going to change it now, and if anyone disagrees, we can change it back. Okey dokey? =)

Holy cheesenips!

:)Hey guys!(:

I haven't posted in such a long time and it sure does feel good to do that now, haha. Did school already start for you guys?

That's actually why I posted this. I think everyone is well aware that I'm going to a freshman, or in your words, a freshie haha. I'm starting school on Wednesday, so the 25th! <3 I'm super excited but nervous all at the same time. I've seriously gone crazy...I miss school and the loads of homework that I started and finished my sister's summer reading homework. How extreme is that?! I probably should have mentioned that I LOVE school! But back to the point, I'm very nervous. I mean high school is a big step and I'm not sure I'm ready to take that huge step since high school is all serious and stuff. How was your freshmen year? Any words of wisdom to pass down to me? I know that Heather gave me some advice, but what do you guys think? :-P

~Merisa

Nicole: Mature time - dropping out

Okay. I've been thinking a lot about the challenge lately, and I really don't think I have time to write 2500 words a week right now. We're getting all of our assessment tasks (they call them RICH tasks, seriously, wtf?) from basically every subject this time of term, and it's just too hectic. As much as I would love to keep continuing the challenge, I have to drop out.

Another reason I'm not enjoying the challenge like I'd been hoping, is because what I've been writing is quite frankly really crap. I'm not putting as much thought into it, because all I am thinking about is reaching my weekly words. I think I'd rather write slowly, and actually produce some writing that I'm proud of.

That's why I've decided to set up a little mini challenge for myself. Each week, or maybe every fortnight, I want to have a chapter finished. Maybe not completely edited, but finished.

I think I'll start tomorrow. I'm so sorry for messing everybody around about the challenge thing, but right now I have to be realistic. I'll definetely be doing the Oct/Nov challenge, and I can't wait for the Dec/Jan challenge. That's when we have our six week summer holidays. Sorry again!

Ned. Everyting I have worked for in life Has been Taken away.

Yesterday, at around 5-ish, someone stole my laptop from my moms car.
Everything is gone.
I was stupid and didn't back anything up.
It's all gone.
Everything.
I feel like someone ripped out my heart and stomped on it a milion times with soccer shoes on.

So.
Yeah.

-Ned.

Maiah: New Plot Ideas!

I'm changing my plot. Yay.

So some of you might remember me mentioning another story idea. It was titled, Unbeing.
And I had a wild idea. What if I could mix up Blood Red Rose, and Unbeing, and turn it into one majorly awesome story!?? I like it. I really do.

So on my page, I just wrote a big thing about the story idea. So you can read it if you'd like.

Nat: Quick question about names...

For a girl, which do you like best?
-Sawyer
-Ember
-Laine
-Nora
-Spencer
-Noah
-Rowan
-Shay

And for a boy?
-Cain
-Declan
-Jude
-Maddox
-Findlay

Heather: Tips For Writers.

Tips for Writers is a new page on our blog.
Often, we help each other progress with our own novels and ideas, but we may not always be helping out those who read our blog.
So, I came up with the idea of making a post with a 'Tip' on it when ever we came up with one, but Kas had a similar idea and we collaborated and decided to make a page for tips. Not just for each other, but everyone who finds us.
If you're reading something, or writing something and you come up with a tip to help improve either thing - then post it on the page in the same format as the first one.
If you all hate the idea, though I sincerely doubt it, then we can remove the page.
What do you think?
Have any worthwhile tips?

Kas: I love my brain.

Im so awesome. :D

I just figured out how to put comments on all the pages. Yay! Hahaha. This has been bothering me for a while. And now i've fixed it. Whoop, whoop.

Oh, and sorry for spamming the blog today, i have nothing to do.
-K

Kas: Best Band EVER

This, my friends, is 30 Seconds to Mars. They're amazing. Bow down.


I've been listening to them for like 6 hrs straight now, and im not even close to being done. :D

Mmm... me love.

OKay, bye now. :D

-K

Nat: 5 Followers!

Kas, I know exactly how you're feeling. I am starting to HATE all of the novels that I'm working on, and nothing is working out right. Even though I have about 15, 000 words written on Broken Promises, I think I need to start something new. But I don't really have any ideas. :(

Also: we have 5 followers!

Okay, I'm going to go try and write something. Gah. Wish me luck.

~Nat

Kas: All day and all night.

Okay, so something rare has occured. I have the entire day to write, day&night. :) Its the first time i've had an entire day that i haven't had something to do in a reall long time. :D

Im pretty stoked. So, my first week of junior year is officially over... and this year doesn't look too bad. My first semester is going to be pretty difficult though...

Schedule.
1st- English 3
2nd- World History
3rd- Geometry
4th- AP Chemistry
5th- Mentoring
6th- Computers

Haha. I have one elective. But thats only because i switched out of Art and into AP Chem. Lol. My favorite hour is most definately Mentoring. If you dont know, mentoring is where i go to the ECC (Early childhood center) building and mentor the kids. I ahve 3&4 yr olds. :) So all i have to do is just like help them color and play with play-doh and stuff liek that. They are pretty awesome, & Adorable. :D

But, yeah, so im thinking this should be a pretty good year. :D

Other than that, I haven't been doing much else. I ahve gotten a little writing done this week, but i was only on my comp. twice in the last five days, so its not much. Im hoping to catch up on that tonight...

So, i've been thinking, and i think i need to take a break from Malkini. Im starting to resent it. Its become way too stressful to work on. And im starting to hate everything i write. So, since i need to write something im going to start a new book. I thought about going back and trying to write dream walkers again, but me and heather pretty much stole all of the names from it. haha. So, i think im going to think up something new.

Its been a while since i've gotten to start something from scratch, so im going to have some fun with it and not take it so seriously... i already have a few i dea for it. :D

Okay, ill post in a few hours after i get the story figured out. :D

-K

Nat: There is nothing better (and hotter) than an Irish accent...

I got to spent the whole night with some older (hot!) Irish guys, and I have one thing to say:

I am in love with Irish accents. And Irish guys.

That is all.

Heather: Too Much.

Hey Guys.
I'm just going to get straight to the point.
I don't think I'm going to be doing the challenge now.
I'm still going to try my 20 000 words thing after I get back from Norway, but for right now, I hate to saying I'm quitting - because I'm not, I just can't do it.
And I'm goin to keep writing until I have to go to Norway - but I doubt it'll amount to much.
It's not that I'm lazy, or I've fallen behind. It's because I don't have time.
And at the times I do have time - I wish I didn't.
I don't really like thinking right now.
Because there are simply too many thoughts I don't want to think.
I'm just... stressed.
Frustrated.
Angry.
Upset.
It happens.
Don't worry, I'll be fine. I hate that word.
I just can't handle stuff right now.
Later.

Nicole: My book is EVIL!!

I've finished my preface! It still needs to be edited a bit more, but I'm really happy with it. I spent all last night just writing those 321 words. But whatever, it's pretty much finished and I really like it. My books always end up turning out darker than what I'd planned, and it's the same with this one. I'm really liking where it's going though, so meh(:

I have some new ideas for BIT that I really want to write today, but at the moment I have to go shopping with my aunty. It should be fun, but we're going all the way into Melbourne, which is an hour and a half a way. SIGHmdksmgl, I hate cars. Anyway, that's all for now(:!

Maiah: Meet Kitty McKitter Pants!

No, that's not her name. She still has no name haha. But for now, I call her Kitters (:
This is a really bad picture of her, and I look like crap. Hahah. But at least I posted a picture for you guys!

Nicole: The best sausage roll-maker EVER! And Pretty Little Liars

Just saying, I'm the pro-est at making sausage rolls. We made them in Food Tech yesterday and we had to put in stuff that added fibre. I just added a little bit of onion, carrot, and tomato sauce :P. Well, they kissed ass, so meh.

I had today off (Friday here) because I had a killer migraine this morning, so I was hoping to get a bunch of writing done. Yeah... that didn't happen. My Mum told me to take these tablets that would make me feel better, but I'd probably pass out on my keyboard, and I didn't. Instead, my head killed, my eyes felt like they were going to pop out and I didn't get all that much written anyway because I couldn't concentrate.

I have all of tonight to write, and I'm hoping to get my prologue to Back In Town written and the rest of my first chapter. I know, I said I was going to write Playing with Fire, but I got some new ideas for BIT (awesome abbreviation, am I right?)

I got a lot of those ideas from Pretty Little Liars. Oh my god, it's awesomewkjrhaiu. My friend said she was going to buy the books, and I asked her what it was about. She ended up just sending me the ten episodes that have been made so far on Wednesday, and that night I watched them all. I couldn't help myself, they're so addicting! I love it. Hands down, my new favourite television show.

That's all for now, x

Heather: So. Many. Bug. Bites.

Can't. Stop. Scratching.
I have over 40 bug bites.
Over 20 on my feet alone.
I lost my 'Afterbite'.
I think I'll die a horrific and itchy death.

EDIT: I found my Afterbite... But even Afterbite couldn't keep the itchiness from waking me up at six.
I went to bed at four. I couldn't get back to sleep.
I need to write 4000 sleep deprived words today. I'm two days behind. :(
Ahh, well, bye now!(:

Sarah: fakhjghajsghjkasdfg

^ my emotions.

I started school Monday. So far, this year seems pretty easy. Well, not easy...but better than last year. We have block scheduling at my school, which goes like this: each day is a different "color", blue or gold. they switch back and forth. on blue days, I have english, act prep, chemistry, algebra and personal finance. on gold days I have law, A + Tutoring, study hall, library aid and painting. As you could probably guess, my blue days (english, chemistry...) aren't exactly the easiest.

Anywho. My classes are okay. The only hard ones are ACT and chemistry and algebra. But I have homework. Like now. On the third day.

Ick.

I haven't been doing much writing, mainly because ideas have been jumping around in my head. I'm thinking about going back to one of my first stories.... I'll post part of it on OSAAWAKMS so you can let me know what you think.

Just wanted to let you know what is up with me lately. Oh, and this.

Everything I need to know I learned from Arthur.

Nat: 3 Main Characters

I wanted to show you guys what I've been working on tonight. These are my official three main characters in my novel, Broken Promises. Well, they're official for now. I'm always changing my mind, though. So I guess the names and pictures might change. But here they are. =)

I'm also working on pictures for 3 of my minor characters. I'll put those up later, maybe.

Kas: Maiah.

I heard this saying today in school, and it immediately made me think of your story.

"Roses are red, but so is Blood."

Haha. Random, i know. But i liked it. :D

-K

Nat: Covers for 'Broken Promises'

Which one do you guys like the best? I think I know which one I like, but I can't quite decide...Thanks!

Maiah: Lyrics

Don't say goodbye

Like you're burying him

Cause the world is round

And he might return.

-

RS-JLTM

This line of the song really describes Tristen.

Therefore, I love it. (:

That's all.

Maiah: Horfloffes!

I'm not quite sure what it means.....But me and my sister made it up. And it's a certain species of sasquatch. :D
Yep. that's what I do in my free time. Come up with words like "horfloffes". Just kidding.

Kind of.

So anyways, some of you know that I just got a kitty! I haven't seen her yet, just in pictures that my sister and mom have sent me. But I get to see her this evening! Wooo! Well either this evening, depending on what happens, or sometime tomorrow. Yaaay! So as soon as I see her, I'll take a picture and post it to SAAWAKM. She's adorable, btw. Hahaha(;

Yeah, that's right. Be jealous.

Okkkayyyeeeuuuhhhh.....Imma go make some pancakes. Because they sound really good right now. Ahahaha. Bye!

Nicole: Playing with Fire and Nick Jonas

Alright. Well, I haven't been going too well with the challenge and meeting my weekly word count. I really, really don't want to give up just yet, so I've come up with some changes that hopefully will help. I haven't really been feeling it with TKTBBRBTL, do you guys get that? I love my idea so much, and I love my characters, but I dunno, and that's put me off writing a bit. So, I've decided to switch stories to Playing with Fire. I've wanted to write this for a while now, and this seems like the perfect opportunity.

Another reason I think I can't get anything down is because I haven't really been planning before I write, so I have no idea where I'm going. That's one thing I'm going to be doing differently with Playing with Fire. I don't think I'm going to be able to get anything written tonight because I'm exhausted and I have a lot of homework to do, but hopefully I'll plan tonight and write tomorrow.


This is completely relevant. Maybe this photo of Nick Jonas will help you forgive me for messing you all around(:? I've always been a quiet fan of the Jonas Brothers, and Nick has always been my favourite. I only recently listened to his solo album, and fell in love. Seriously, his voice, his face, his nose. The things I would do to that boy (;< I've been collecting photos tonight and I already have 280dfjsakfh382q. Some people might call that procrastinating, I call it obsession.

Anyway, I better go do some homeworkjfskkva. Love cha(:

Heather: Last Post Tonight, Promise!

I just wanted to say- I've added the prologue and chapter one of Nalin on OSAAWAKMS. I'm not quite sure how I feel about them, but I figured I had put off posting long enough.
I like the chapters after number one a lot more.:) I'm bad at first chapters.
Also, white trucks that follow you while you walk your dog a night are very creepy and disconcerting... Avoid them!:)
Okay, goodnight:)

Heather: A Little Insanity.

Yes, I know, I'm making another post. But I've already written tons today, so, I. Do. Not. Care. :)
And I'm horrible because I can't pick between Nalin, and Prowlers, Laken and Harlow, Calder and Tain, water and fire. :/
Prowler is the kind of idea I've always wanted - and now that I'm writing it, it works out amazingly compared to my attempts at other ideas like it.
But I've put so much effort into Nalin and I love it too. Everytime I work on Prowlers I feel like I should be writing Nalin, and everytime I write Nalin I fel like I should be writing Prowlers.
So now I'm going to attempt something one should never do... And I'm probably going to fail at it too... but anyway since I want to write them both... I'll write the next 10 000 words... on both of them. And by that I mean a total of twenty thousand words in the next eleven days to decide which one I want. I don't think I can do it... But I have to try.
I'm freaking insane.


It's freaking NaNoWriMo the second.

Heather: Writing Machine... Or Not:)

In two days - as I was busy one of the last three, I managed to get over 2500 words:)
Which I'm happy about... However, I have eleven days to write ten thousand words.
There's the possibility I shouldn't want to join the challenge so bad - because I'm going to fail at my attempt to catch up, and I'm probably screwed and not going to come close to 12 500 words, but you know what?
I'm going to try my damnedest to make it there:) :S
So... yeah. Just thought I'd give you an update.

...I'll just go for a thousand a day!;)



... I'm screwed.

EDIT: Make that 3002 words in two days. :)
I think I'm done for now. And Chapter one is done!! :O EXCEPT, I need to edit it. I'll probably add another 1000 -ish words to it. It's needs lots of fixing:)

Nat: Stressed Out...& some quotes

"Life is like an hourglass...eventually everything hits the bottom. And all you have to do is wait until someone comes along and turns it around."

"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going."

"Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

"Life may not be the party we hope for, but while we're here we should dance."

I'm busy transferring all my documents/pictures/videos/music from my old computer to my new one, and I just realized it's 11:00 at night. I seriously thought it was like 9. But it's still light outside...wtf?

[EDIT]
My new computer has the wrong time on it, and it is only 9. Haha.

My new computer also doesn't have Microsoft Word. It has WordPad instead. Well, I'll have to download Microsoft Word soon, because I can't stand this WordPad crap. Sorry about all my ranting, but I'm stressed out about this, because it's taking so bloody long and I'm annoyed and tired and hungry. Grr!

And a question: I want to make a new cover for 'Broken Promises.' But I don't know what picture to use. Any ideas for pictures? Or anyone want to make me a cover? :)

Okay, I'll leave you guys alone. Bye.

Sarah: Just a pic...

Hey! I found this picture. Heather, it reminded me A LOT of your story Nalin.

Maiah: Ughh.

School, for me, starts next Tuesday. The 24th.
Ew.

Normally my school starts the eigth of september.

But noooo.
This dumb school has to start next week.
Bleh. I think I might just die.

Nicole: Hmm

I'm thinking about changing TKTBBRBTL to third person, because I write so much bettrer in that than first. Also then, I might be able to add in some more stuff with Phillip... Hmm,n when I get home I might change it and see.

Maiah: BRR Songs

So I'm always looking for songs that go with Blood Red Rose. And I've found a couple!



I Hate Everything About you
Three Days Grace

*
The Bleeding
Five Finger Death Punch

*
Arms of Sorrow
Killswitch Engage

*
Red Bloody Roses
A Vain Attempt


That's all I have for today. Hahah. Oh! And I'm really behind on this weeks' word count challenge. Bleh. I'll go work on that right now. Hah. (:

Kas: Counting Bodies Like Sheep.

Don't fret precious im here. Step away from the window...

Okay, so remember those plot details i promised you? Yeah, those aren't in this post, but thay are coming.

Go back to sleep...

I just found the most amazing song. It kind of gave me an idea for the story. And, just to give you a hint, this one has a lot more death.

Safe from pain, and truth and choice.

Especially in the beginning. Hahaha.

See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

So, go listen to the song,
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums By A Perfect Circle.

I'll be the one to protect you from, your enemys and all your demons...

Heather: Question

Okay, I want to do the challenge, but I missed the first week and a half and two weeks from now I'll be missing the next nine days. So, I came up with a solution, if you guys don't have a problem with it...
I was wondering if instead of posting my words for this month on every monday I could make a post on Thursday, August 26 - the day before I leave for Norway with 12 500 words (or more... possibly). This would have me caught up with the entire first month and the days I miss in september as well. I just did the math - that's one month and a quarters worth of words. And I'll definitely prove it too.
If I can make it that high...;)
If it's a yes, then wish me luck;) Hahah.
Oh, and by the way, I'M BACK!
I'm going to show you pictures later - when I get my hans on the camera - because it's amazing there.

Kas: Ello.

So, i've been gone for a few days, and it looks like i have some catching up to do...

First, the reason i've been gone is because i started school on Thursday. Blech. So, yeah, im officially a Junior... Yay?

Oh, and what little free time i have had i've spent reading. I just finished a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Its freaking amazing, I started it yeasterday and just finished it like ten minutes ago...

Next, if you guys do not make up your minds about this challenge im going to rip my hair out! Haha. And then you would feel bad, because I have really awesome hair... Lol.

I haven't really gotten much writing done this week, because of school and that book. Haha. But, i have all night tonight to hopefully be able to get something done. Except, i think i feel some plot changes coming on. I can always feel it when my brain is about to drop a nuclear bomb on me, and i feel it comin. Haha. So, keep an eye out for the next post i make, because its bound to ahve some new plot details. :D

Uhm... i think thats pretty much it for now. I might come up with soem more stuff to ramble on about later, but for now this is all your getting. I know. Your sad, right? I knew it. :P

-K

Nat: 1:28am

Nicole, here are the covers I made for you! I spent kind of a long time on them, and they didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. :(

For the last cover, I picked a random name (Emma), because I didn't know any other characters in your book. But I can easily change it if you'd like.

:)

Nicole: Help with pictures/cover?

I have this new idea that I'm not sure if I'm going to write yet or leave it for later, but I can't find a picture for the cover anywhere! So my story is called Lucy Green's Guide To Surviving The Apocalypse, and it's basically a about a real girly-girl trying to make it through the apocalypse. Could you guys help with a picture or cover, I'm really stuck?

Also, I was going to quit the challenge earlier because I haven't had time to write anything this week, and it's such a hectic time atm because of subject selection. I've decided I'm going to stick it out for a little while longer and see how I go, and I'll be using Kas's technique tonight.

Yeah, nothing else exciting has happened lately, but I can't stop collaging! I'm becoming addicted, I swear, it's insane. I've done these magazine holder things, a few pieces of A4 paper, my school diary, and now I'm decorating my wall (except we ran out of bluetac :( ). It's becoming unhealthy...

Oh, and I'm also going to make a tumblr or blog about my research and journey with TKTBBRBTL. I don't know if anyone would actually be interested in it, but it'll be a helpful way to keep all of the research I think's interesting and little ideas that I have somewhere that I won't lose them or forget them.

Anyway, toodles doodles(:

Nat: I GOT A NEW COMPUTER!

Heyy everyone! I got a new computer and I'm so excited!

I'm back from my trip (but I'm leaving again tomorrow haha). Any of you starting school again soon, or who have already started, I feel kinda bad for you, but mostly I'm just glad I'm not you. :D

Kas, you get first prize for most awesome Challenge design page or whatever you want to call it. And I think I might still do the challenge for August/September, but I haven't written ANYTHING for a full week, so I'm a little behind.

That's all I really wanted to say, so talk to you all later.

By the way, Heather, I love the Prowlers idea. Sounds awesome!!! =)

Sarah: PLAYLIST!

I have made an official playlist for my novel, The Boyfriend Killer! Just wanted to let you guys know! Here's a link!

(I couldn't get a direct link, but it should be the very first one. If you have trouble finding it, it's the one by purplegirl121212)!

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_playlists&search_query=the+boyfriend+killer&uni=1

Maiah: Ahhhhh!

Hey. Whuddup? I'm back. Obviously.

So anyways...I haven't gotten any writing done this week. Total bull crap, right? I'll try catching up...within a few days...*Sigh

On a happy note, I'm getting my own laptop! Yaaaayy! I'm so happy. Finally, I can have my own computer to work on my writing, without being disrupted and sharing it. Haha.

Alright, well imma go get some sleep! Bye!

Sarah: An excerpt for you....

THIS WORK IS COPYRIGHTED! NO STEALING!!

Remi sat straight up, her long hair flying about her shoulders and back in a dark, curly mess. She looked around frantically, trying to remember how the heck she had ended up on a bus, and why her stomach was growling violently.

As she focused her breathing, she became aware of three things all at once.

One, she wasn’t cold anymore. Instead, she was in what seemed to be blistering heat. Her leather jacket was soaked through with sweat, so she quickly peeled it off, along with her sweater, leaving her in just a white t-shirt.

Two, the bus was still moving at a steady speed, maybe going a little fast for what she knew should be the speed limit. She could no longer sense things like the brake being pressed, which seemed to calm her down.

Everything that had made her feel better faded when she looked at the front of the bus, scanning it for passengers and, mainly, the driver from last night. This was the third thing.

The driver’s seat was vacant.

She ran for the front of the bus, hoping she was seeing things. But when her feet carried her to the seat, she was disappointed that she had not. It was true. The driver was no longer in his seat. The steering wheel swerved like someone was driving, the pedals even moved, but there was no one there.

“Oh my God!” She screamed, turning and scanning the bus hysterically. Her gray eyes caught sight of a man toward the back, slumping against the window, sleeping soundly.

She ran quickly, taking in her surroundings outside the bus on the way. She paused once, realizing why she was so hot. All around her was sand and sun, with only a patch of grass growing almost out of eye sight.

Remi shook the man violently, yelling at him. “Get up, gut up, get up!”
