Doing NaNo this year (first year eligible), so I won't be back until...later...cackles It's a good writing exercise for me, what with being fickle and all, but...wish me luck! -Acantha
Um...yeah...if I were stranded on an island, and I could only bring 3 things with me--I'm assuming The Necessities are provided:
Books
Pen and Paper (you can't have one without the other)
My iPod
I'm a big town girl with a small town heart.
On a second thought, I'm a small town girl with a small town heart that i left behind in my small town -world- (not really)
-not a girly girl, but is occasionally mistaken for girly girl. main difference: girly girls like boys. no offense, Art-
Things I can't live without: laughter. friends. tears. sunlight. moonlight. good books. good english teachers. encouragement. ballet. silence. dreams. spazz. beauty. grace. miracles. music. ink. art. movies. pajamas. doughnuts. iced coffees at dunkin' doughnuts. writing. singing. taylor swift (once a role model, always a role model). michelle kwan (see taylor swift). figure skating. my bike. a decent library. inspiration. coffee shops. my computer. sunsets. sunrises. late nights. disses. burns (in the figurative sense of the word). sundresses. dresses.
I'm an eternal optimist, but I look at the cup half-empty. Is this normal?
Ongoing/About to Be Up Stories
(-notes- shifting through sunlight is now the rise and fall of twilight, and i made so many plot changes i don't know where to begin. taking down sts, sorry fakkehearts3--you can read RaFoT--same story, hanneka's in it (guess who i named her after), benjimen--shudder. i always have the misfortune to meet the worst bens ever--cough. That's why MY ben is going to be AMAZING. I hope. Modelled after BM, Lizzie.)
Shades of Grey
Michelle Taylor's moved back to New Jersey for unknown and angsty reasons. Dustin's just plain confused. Jacoby's happy, as per usual, Nolan was being miused. Picasso hasn't painted a pretty picture here.
(-notes- All chapters are named after Billy Joel songs, and so not all will be named. I hope that you can help me with that. Reasons are explained inside, after I post it. Also--Michelle Taylor. Look above.)
The Rise and Fall of Twilight
Sierian is the younger Princess of the Glorian Forest, always longing for adventure and the romance of the ballads. When she sneaks into a skirmish between Elves and Goblins, it starts her off on an adventure that she's not sure she's ready for.
(-notes- I don't really know why I chose the name--it was something I had lying around for a while. I changed the plot details a hundred million times, so I just have to take down Shifting Through Sunlight and put the first chapter to this up. It's not that good, though. Blech. Also, it's probably going to be a trilogy. If it is, the titles will be The Elf, The Warrior, and The Queen.)
Loving Austin (title subject to change)
Austin was different. Everyone knew, even in kindergarten. Kellie's never had an easy life. Her mum's addicted to cocaine, her dad's bailed on them, and her sister's been in and out of prison and rehab innumerable times. But she finds that the hardest thing is overcoming discrimination lines when she realizes she loves Austin, a boy diagnosed with autism. (One-shot)
(-notes- I really don't know that much about autism, but I got really insipired one day during stay-in recess one day, when the president of an organization (said organization's name is omitted, for reasons of my privacy, as it only exists where I live) dedicated to educating autistic children. We're doing a fundraser for it. This story goes to anyone who is trying to make a change in the world.
Also, I need to do some research on autism...don't expect this one will be up soon)
I Spy
I met him at the mall, then in his bathroom. How embarassing. Why can't a spy catch a break?
(-notes- I totally changed the plotline to this, but the other I Spy might get done. I couldn't think up a way to tell you how the Government works/how they took over, so, yeah. This one's going to be modern day, and still named after one of my besties. Every story is going to have a bestie in it, though not neccesarily by name, but either by name or character--by this I mean personality-- or appearance.)
By the way, the Looking Glass Wars books are AMAZING. Like, AMAZING amazing, not just amazing. Yeah, AMAZING amazing. Haha.
lovelovelove to my homies/homedawgs, haha, brooke (summertime thoughts), elizabeth to my acantha (cackles)(fakkehearts3), arty (moonlightrider--I could make so many comments about this, art, and sue you for all you're worth, but, since you're a bffl, i'll let you go), and letthereberock. miss you guys! (try to pick up on my small-town mentioning in SoG) and to the rest of my small-town besties--you know who you are.
catch a kiss and send it up far/maybe it'll land upon a shooting star...
evil laughter,
Acantha
