Sorry it's been so long since I've updated! I've already told most of you by now, but I finished MIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was on January 31, exactly 3 months after I started it during NaNoWriMo! At the time, it had 57,669 words. But now that I have started editing, I have 60,340!!! And I've only edited the first four chapters of fifty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah, I'm wayyyyyyyyyy excited. Sorry I just keep talking about Mist and not update very often. There's nothing interesting to write about! Let me think of something I can say..............................................
Oh! I know! I'm kind of on a reading craze ever since Mom and I read Inkheart! I just got Inkspell yesterday from the school library. I've been reading a few series' lately and hope to start a few, so I will show you some as a good reading reference!
First, is Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo. These aren't my favorite and they're a little childish, but I find myself enjoying the story and the writing. I just finished the third one. These are the names of all the books in order: Midnight for Charlie Bone, Charlie Bone and the Time Twister, Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy, Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors, Charlie Bone and the Hidden King, Charlie Bone and the Beast, and Charlie Bone and the Shadow.
An even better series is the Shadow Children Sequence by Margaret Peterson Haddix. It's about a boy named Luke, who is a third child (which are illegal!) They're kind of depressing books, but they're really good. I just started the sixth out of seven. The books are: Among the Hidden, Among the Imposters, Among the Betrayed, Among the Barons, Among the Brave, Among the Enemy, and Among the Free.
Also is the Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke!!! I suggest this even more than the first two! Mom and I have read Inkheart, and mom just started Inkspell (because I'm still reading Among the Enemy), and the last book, Inkdeath just came out. Good books!
A series I want to read once I'm done with those is the Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix. There are seven, all with a title that has to do with a day of the week. Alien started reading them and says they are really good. I would also like to read the Bartimaes Trilogy which Alien loves.
A series I have already read that is TOTALLY AMAZING is the Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan!!!!!!!!!!!! THESE BOOKS ARE AWESOME!!!!!! READ THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! The books are: The Lightning Theif, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and the final book, The Last Olympian is coming out this year in May, I think......................
So yeah, those are some coolio books. Now that I have finished Mist, I'll probably actually put something else besides that on here! But I don't know what to write about! Nothing interesting happens hardly ever, or at least not that the fam would care about............maybe more with friends.
Anyway, Mist is going to be five books. I kinda started the second one/are still mostly editing Mist. Mist is four letters, and Charm, the next book is five, and the third is secret (six letters), so I'm trying to keep that pattern that totally happened by accident for the last two books. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yeah, if you want to help edit, or already are, email me!!!!!!!!!!!
