Stop Internet Censorship

Please click the link in the box to the right and send Congress an email to stop the SOPA bill, which will censor your Internet usage wherever they feel like it.

This is a democratic country, and this could interfere with private business advertisement, freedom of speech, and many first amendment rights. Don't let them do this.

Protest now!

Character Obsession

I discovered the other day that I've been fangirling over one of my OCs a whole lot lately. It just seems that every time I sit down to write it has to be about him, and every time I pick up a pencil to draw he comes out as the end result. Then, in between both (i.e. school) I'm always thinking about him and chatting.

It's like I'm obsessed or something.

Wait.

I probably am.

But anyway! The fact stands that I am now the official #1 fangirl of Rozar Altair, the 16-year old winged Avien warrior who serves as head scout and one of the Ebony Guard in Ebony Castle, headquarters for my KF stories. Here's a little more about him:


Here is half his face which I drew for a video that isn't done yet.

Here is an excerpt from his profile:

Gender: Male
Race: Avien
Age: 16
Date of Creation: May 7th, 2010
Birth date: May 7th, 2010
Height: 5 feet 7 inches
Hobby: Being tricksty
(Twist): Very twisty. Very twisty indeed.
Status: Healthy

Here is a picture of him with his wings:

Please ignore my lack of ability to draw swords.

Anyway, he's also a skilled sword fighter, is great at mid-air fight scenes, can be a goofball, and according to the temporary Sims character my sister suckered me into making, he's a great kisser.

But I can't personally vouch for that. I don't think anyone can, but I plan to change that in the future.... *evil laughter*

So, there you have it. A brief overview of my favorite winged trickster. Brave, loyal, dashing, heroic, hilarious, and always there. A great character, a great friend. :)

Friday the 13th

The day of bad luck draws to a close, and I reflect just how lucky I am.

- I got a 40-something % score on my poetry unit test. Luckily, it was worth like nothing and my grade remained the same.
-I wrote a paper that outweighed the test and it's killer.
-I studied for my Government midterm by playing jeopardy with my classmates and my team won.
-I missed an English lesson only to discover it was canceled anyway.
-I received points back on a hard math test.
-TODAY IS FRIDAY.
-TOMORROW IS SATURDAY.

In all respects, I seem to be luckier than unlucky. Which is weird, considering that my finals are all coming up and I shall there forth promptly die. As long as I don't choke on dinner and die a heartless death, today will be a relatively good one.

Except I have writer's block.

Oh, cruuuuuuud.

What I Do In My Free Time (wait, I have free time???)

Writers aren't always writing.





Ok, well it's a rare thing, but you can still find writers doing other things than writing. On occasion. Every once in a while.


At any rate, I have some things I do or turn to when I'm not writing (which is uncommon).


As you might have guessed, each thing I do is either creative, or gives me ideas/inspiration in its own way.

• Piano - I am a self-taught player and have played for almost 3 years (almost). My youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/DistractedFirefly?feature=mhee so feel free to stop by and check out my mostly Evanescence-oriented piano pieces, some odds and ends from Linkin Park/Cryoshell/a recent one by Clint Mansell. There may be an original piece, but it's not supposed to be in there...
  


• Bleach - the manga, not Clorox. I read it every Thursday or so as the updates roll out, and I tell you it's addicting. O_O I'm a Bleach addict! Help! ...aaanyway, sometimes that's a good thing, because Kubo Tite, the author, is extremely talented at coming up with interesting, moving characters. Like Riruka. Where does she get off being awesome?
  


• Baking - cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, cupcakes, brownies... *go on long list*
  


• Reading - occasional, yes, but I do find time to read my friend's stories, school-assigned novels, and the spare other book every once in a while.
  



• Blog - obviously.
  

What do you guys do, if anything other than write?


Anyway, I must run now if I am to write before school. It is necessary to survival for us writers! *runs for Word document*

Wasp

I mentioned in my last post that I keep a list of my character's birthdays. Well, today is one of them. January 4th happens to be the 18th birthday of my female April-Wri-Mo character 'Wasp' (Chloe). She co-starred as a minor FC in my April double challenge novel 'Flight', in which she was a teen girl with the power to control and communicate with insects.

Wasp is sometimes stubborn and strong-willed, and tends to keep her emotions on the contemptible side, but in reality she is a loving, tender, caring person who looks after her long time, France-native, friend (and boyfriend, if you don't mind my saying) Lucas.

Since she is officially an "adult" today, I decided to feature her in my blog. Here is her year-old portrait (sadly, I have no more recent photos):

Today is a fun day, especially since her friends are treating her to whatever she wants. (We can guess that it includes bugs).

At any rate, it is especially fun for me because it serves as a reminder that on April 1st (and until April 30th) I will write the sequel to 'Flight' in all its wonderful superhuman glory. I have absolutely no idea what to call it, but that's ok because it's going to start with, you guessed it, a bang. I wonder if I should call it 'Flight, the Seqe- *BANG*'.... forget it.

At any rate, Harpy Earth Day, Wasp! (private joke, don't ask). I hope you have many more (considering the April novel is dangerous).

Tootley oo,
