NaNoWriMo

I've talked a little bit about this on the blog, but not in detail. Sorry about this to friends I've bugged about this a million times! But Nanowrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which is in November. There is a sight where you can sign up to write a novel with an account. If you're an adult, you have to write 50,000 words. If you are a young adult, you can set your word count goal. You don't have to worry about editing it, that's what December's for!!!!! Here's the link if you want to check it out: www.ywp.nanowrimo.org A PS for friends, even though I've probably said this over and over: Dom's username is codeblue and mine is writerintraining! Karlee and Trevor need to make their accounts soon! If Trevor even does it, I know Karlee is! Why won't Tanner do it? Well, anyway, this would be kindof a short post if I don't add some more stuff, so I'll talk about my story I told you about. That's what I'm doing for Nanowrimo. I was thinking of having it be a trilogy, I've got all 3 stories worked out! But then I had a coolio idea of making the trilogy 3 or 4 trilogies in the Magics Files! I know, it sounds REALLY crazy! But I can't tell you why I'm doing it! It would ruin the secret that's revealed in the 2nd Trilogy!!!! But anyway, yeah. Oh by the way, to siblings: Names for your kids that you can not steal that will be main characters in the Magics Files are- Simon, Larissa, Brock, Meg, Sean, Niena (don't think you'll be using that one!), Chase, Elana, Kyle, Max, Sam for a boy or girl (even though the character's a girl), Jenna, Madelyn, Leo, and Cassandra. Normally I wouldn't mind, but if you named your kids one of these, then I'd have to name characters after my other nieces and nephews. And seeing as I'll have 10 next year, and it will keep going, that could be a bit crazy! Maybe I'll name characters after them when I'm an adult and they've mostly come.
And that's about it! Seeya and Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!

You and a friend each make and describe what your character looks like. If they're something magical or have a power, don't tell, but leave evidence as each of you take turns telling the story from your character's point of view. Secrets are revealed and it helps add extra emotion and events to your story. Try it! It works best over email.)

What makes me sad: Roadkill, science fair, friends arguments, no young womens

So there's a little something about me. I think all the fam has done this now, so Code-Red! Tag!!! Tell us about yourself!

TOO LONG!

Okay, it's been WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long since I've posted. So here I am. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what is there to talk about? Oh! November is National Write a Novel Month! At my school, they have advertisements for this one site. I checked it. If you are a young adult or an adult, you can sign up to write a novel, but it has to be done by midnight November 30. I'm not sure I'm old enough to qualify, but I have been writing a story! Since there's nothing else to talk about, I could tell you about it.
There is a 13-year-old guy named Simon Black who meets this other girl from one of his classes. Her name is Larissa Lane. Larissa is a keeper, which means one of her parents was magical and one was human. She can see magic things, instead of having herself unwillingly warp the magic things she sees into something else, like humans. She discovers Simon can see magic things too, when she has a dragon egg at school. (PS- magical people on Earth are called the Magics) Deciding to show him magic, she takes him to see a 12-year-old named Brock Simmons. Brock is a mysterious character because his skin is pale white, he has white hair, and grey eyes. He was a victim of the Dark Mist (explained later), and he is one of the few wizards left who knows the lost arts of Magic. Fate/Fortune, and a couple of other things (not sure yet, but they will be things I have made up). Because of Simon's last name, Brock's prediction and the evidence of the magic Simon sometimes accidentally does, the two find out he is the current Mist Holder of Light (here's where that one part is explained). The Mist is a flowing gas-like substance that only the two current Mist-Holders (one light, one Dark) can control. It is the most powerful thing to posses as a Magic. Since Simon's father was the previous Mist-Holder of Light, Simon is now. His parents died when he was two, and he had to live with his mother's step sister (a keeper). He never knew about his powers until Larissa came along, so the Dark has been slowly taking more power. (okay, starting something a little new...) There are four Royalties (aka kings and queens) over the magics at a time. When they become a royalty, they will each get one of the four elements (earth, water, fire, sky) along with a certain jewel that will come to them when they are no longer just heirs. There are no Royalties at the time because the Dark have killed the other royalties, and 3 out of the 4 heirs are unknown, even though they have the jewels. The other one is Meg Jessings, earth powers, 12, who is imprisoned by the Dark at the time. Since the Mist-Holder is the most powerful ruler, right above the royalties, Simon, Larissa, and Brock have to go and rescue Meg and find the other 3 royalties before the Dark can take over the Light, and maybe even the world...

Yep, that's my story! Love you all!!!!!!!!!
