I think I might go prematurely gray

Song of the day: Starry eyed- Ellie Goulding. But that was the song of the day yesterday, soooooooooo Wait for You - Elliott Yamin


Quote of the day: "Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." ~Mark Twain. I laughed so hard the first time I read this. And I feel like writing damn in my manuscript every three seconds.

Thoughts: HAHAHA THE LIGHTNING DUDE IS KINDA CREEPY AHHHHHHHHH
Hmm. Camilla and Ian and Edge are going to stab my guts out. And 'den they're going to laugh. Becaues I'm not writing about them this exact second (obviously, Jordan, you're blogging. At least you didn't put me in it today.)

What I should be doing right now: Um... studying for midterms? Writing Frozen? I finished editing <3 so I have nothing to do </3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I FINISHED EDITING DARKEST EBONY AND IT FEELS OH SO GOOD!!!!!

Oh, right. No one cares. Sooooo.....

So.... pretty much loafed around today. Had an emotion brokedown and cried for no apparent reason. Got over it. Ate a cupcake. You know, the usual. I think I might be minimally bipolar. Wouldn't surprise me.

Today is Izzy's birthday :D She just turned 3. I remember when she was a little baby dog. She screamed whenever anyone picked her up. Now she just yells at me when I hug her XD
We took her to PetSmart so she could pick out her present. She sat on me and almost ate this lady's little rat dog. 



Oh, and that was after we watched some guy drive straight down the street and crash head on into another car. He was texting, I think XD They were both fine. But the lady was kind of angry; she tried to break into his car and started kicking it. Poor Woman with her dented red car and anger issues.

And when I got home I watched Mortal Kombat. It's a totally ninja movie from 1995 if you haven't heard/seen it. And yes, I know I spelled Kombat with a K. That's how the movie spells it 0_o
The god dude with lightning eyes creeped me out a bunch of times. And I made fun of the ending for like 20 minutes after it ended. My family is watching Anastasia now. I want to see it, but I don't have time right now T_T XD I'll just watch it during World History tomorrow.

Oh, right. I said I was going to go prematurely gray, didn't I? Yeah, as it turns out, ABNA starts tomorrow. I'm going to pull my hair out from suspense, if it doesnt go gray first. Which sucks, because I'm only 14. So I'm going to enter tomorrow and crash n' fail. Awesome, isn't it?

Oh (again), and before I end my blog I read Falling by Daediel today. It was AWESOME. You need to read it NOW. It's about werewolves. But it doesn't focus on the werewolves. It's hard to explain. Just. Go. Read. It. (The title is a link, bwt)


Oh, and FOUR MORE DAYS TO DAMON!!!!! Erm, I mean, Vampire Diaries!!!!! YES!!!!



So yeah. Peace, Love, and Vampire Diaries everyone!!!! ;)

AHHHHHHHH

Song of the day: Starry eyed- Ellie Goulding


Quote of the day: "A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one." ~Baltasar Gracián. Dude, that's practically the meaning of my entire life 0_0


Thoughts: AHHHHH TOO MUCH EDITING TO DO!!!!!! I'VE STILL GOT THREE CHAPTERS TO GO AND I'VE ONLY GOTTEN TWO IN THE LAST FOUR HOURS AHHHHHH!!!!! I'M SUCH A LOUSY EDIT-ER AHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Heh. Faaaaaaaaaaaallon got dumped. (*kicks Jordan in the shin*) "Hit hit hit hit hit me with lighting. Say Oh Oh. Oh Oh, everybody's starry eyed. Oh, starry eyed. Look what you've done- it's like you've hit me with lightning" <- Zat be the song of the day, BTW :D
I need coffee T_T XD :D XP


What I should be doing right now: Editing chapta' 19 Poor Fallon's having a bad day; I'm going over the part where he dumped her bada$$, mean self for Kyri.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep. Still editing. Day twenty or something. Which is sad, 'cause there's only 21 chapters. And an epilogue. *sigh* I'm so lazy.

Nothing important to post today, so I'll probably just talk about my book and the fact that FREAKING ABNA STARTS TOMORROW OMG I'M SO FREAKING NERVOUS. Ok, done with panic attack.
I shall live though *fistpump*

Do you know why? Because TVD COMES BACK IN FIVE DAYS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG DAMON'S COMING BACK OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THINK IMA GONNA DIE WAITING FOR THURSDAY!!!!!




And that, my friends, is the Damon Salvatore smirk; killing women since 1992. Or at least giving them a heart attack.

But, since I'm such a lousy editer, I need to go edit now. T_T I shall be back... later!!! *flys away to get coffee*

I made a video of my dog eating an apple 0_0 and then put it on YouTube.

Song of the day: It's amazing- Jem (Ok, so it's still Like a g6 too)

Quote of the day: "It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous. " ~Robert Benchley

Thoughts: Dang it. I still have three chapters to edit today T_T

What I should be doing right now: Editing chapta' 16. This one's not so bad. Nioki finally gets Kyri to admit that she loves Leo like the rest of us ;) Us being Me and Fallon, of course. Maybe Leo's mom. Still undecided.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, like I said, I filmed my dog eating an apple. She doesnt this weird thing with her front teeth like she's eating it like people do. It's funny to watch :D
Anyways, I got bored and didn't feel like editing. So I convinced my sister to get some footage of me feeding my dog an apple. Then I made a video out of it and, for reasons unknown, put it on my YouTube account 0_0. If you want to see it, click here.

So... I should be editing. But I'm Lazy. Darkest Ebony is a beast of a manuscript -_- I almost wish I'd left it at 60k rather than 110k.  Then I'd be done editing now and I could actually write Frozen. Which would be nice, because Camilla and Ian and Edge aren't getting enough attention. Not to mention Atearu and Kendon and Antigora (Survivor) and Pierce and Morgan and Charlotte/Gwendolyn (Starski) and Kodiak and Seth and Anita (Deadly Design) and Elegance... yeah, you get the point.

And on top of that, I might start a project about Selkies. Interesting little devils ;)


Anyways, since I am afterall supposed to be editing, I must go now. But first, I have to tell you about this cool Inkpop book I read about *checks invisible watch* ten minutes ago. It's called For the love of Sam and Eva by Scarlet Dawn. If you haven't read it, give it a look ;) I think, from what I've read so far, it might just be worth the time.

Anyways, later peeps!!!

Ima just be dead now, kay?

Song of the day: Like a g6- I dunno who sings it. Actually, I'm kind of suprised it's my song of the day. Not my usual kind of thing, you know?


Quote of the day: "It is impossible to discourage the real writers - They don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write." ~Sinclair Lewis


Thoughts: Must use the right form of there in the future. It's a pain in the butt to edit. I'll have to get some work today... well, after I blog. But before I die, for sure.


What I should be doing right now: Editing chapta' 13. I likeh this one. I was beating up on Kyri and she spent the hole thing in the hospital. Which shouldn't amuse me, but Kyri needed some abuse. She was being WHINY and LAME LIKE ELENA D:



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why 'Ima just be dead now' is 'cause editing is keeling me. Literally. I've edited.... about 5,000 words today. And I feel like flopping on the floor and dying. Or maybe just taking a nice long nap :D Both sound charming at the moment.

The magic of my (n)Ice Day melted and I had to go back to school. Which stunk. Best friend made fun of me in front of a bunch of kids and now half my bus thinks I'm mentally retarted. Go figure. And I had Spanish and I'm supposed to be studying for midterm. But I probably won't, so I might fail. That would stink.

But, Ima think on the bright side :D The Amazon Breakthough Novel Award is only 4 days away (way to be 'bright', Jordan. You're going to miss all our deadlines [shut up Fallon]) and I'm (mildly *sigh*) close to being done editing! For the last time! Yay!!!!!!!! I made a new DE cover too :D I luvvles this one soooooo much. See the full moon thingy in the E? I'm so proud ;)



So yes. I'm proud :D Oh, and I made a couple of new covers for Frozen too.

If you like one of these the best ^ , feel free to tell me in a comment (or not, that's super too).

Anyways, I thought I'd post an excerpt today. You know, thought it would be cool. Then I remembered that I didn't write anything today, so I changed my mind. Instead, I shall post an excerpt tomorrow! And, quite possibly, start posting them every Thursday. You know, since Thursdays are good days (Damon days too!!!) so yep. Expect one from Frozen tomorrow ;)

That's all I have to say. TTFN and Happy writing everyone!

(N)ice day :D

Song of the day: The Remedy: Jazon Mraz (If you got the poison, I got the Remedy <3

Quote of the day: "Behind every great man is a giant cup of coffee."- Meh, someone probably said it besides me.

Thoughts: I need coffeeeeeeeeee... I guess I can blog first...

What I should be doing right now: Editing =P




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's too darn early in the morning to be blogging, but I don't care! Guess what? It's a ice day here *happy dances* The roads are tooooooo icy for the school bus to come take me to the torture house. So, instead of suffering in silence, I'm telling you all about nothing important! But isn't that what blogs are for? Yay! (*sigh* I need Coffee)

So... I'm going to roleplay today. For the first time in *checks watch* Like, five months. I'm going to be soooooooo behind. And lost. Most probably lost. But, I love mah roleplay buddies, as out of touch as we may be, so I'm going back. To the origin of my epic-fail writing style; Lupa De Wulf!

*Listening to Breaking the Habit-Linkin Park* Oh, right, this is my second blog post. I should probably make it count. Erm... Damon? Yay! I need coffee. Huh.


So... while I was supposed to be editing last night, I was actually working on my new book, Frozen :D It's gonna be cool, even if it's about (please don't hate me) vampires. 'Cause it's different. So there.



The pitch, if you're interested:

~Frozen~
I’m not a big fan beating around the bush, so I’m going to tell this to you straight. No pretenses.
I’m a vampire.
If you just thought of popular literature these days, go die. I mean it. I burn in the daylight, I don’t sparkle, and I certainly don’t eat animals. That’s nasty. So yeah, no.

Camilla has spend the last 172 years being a vampire. 172 years of being stuck under the thumb of coven leader, Edge, with his flirtish antics and unbearable crowd. Oh, and don't forget the mind control. For a loner, it sucks to be one of the oldest.
But old doesnt mean experienced. Especially not with Ian. The human that, for some reason in his idiotic skull, isnt afraid of vampires. Or Camilla, for that matter. And if she doesnt scare the hell (and courage) out of him soon, they're both as good as dead. Or, in Camilla's case, double dead.







So yes, I'm super psyked about this one :D 'Gonna be awesome. I've got... 3, 406 words done so far :D It'll probably be on Inkpop within the week. Depending on when Zoey's on =)
Anyways, I've got writing (and editing =P) to do, so I shall blog... tomorrow!
