Music, Mystery, Middle Earth, and Mitochondria

Greetings all! I have a little announcement to make! I am hosting a competition. Some of you have been reading my blog story Mission: Metal (don’t worry! If you haven’t read it you can still join the competition. XD). Basically, my story is set a post-apocalyptic world and is about a family who fights to defend their home from a mysterious band of criminals. So, about the competition: it’s an art contest for Mission: Metal (because I'm hopeless at drawing but I need pictures for my story and I know some of you guys can draw,) and there are no prizes, sorry (but if you win, you’ll get loads of virtual pizza, cookies, and lembas!!! XD). Here are the things you have to draw to enter (you only have to draw one [but you can do more if you want] ;-D): A post-apocalyptic setting (either a building, vehicle, scene, or something like that). A picture of Ian Eden, one of my MCs. He’s a 16-year-old kid with sandy hair and golden eyes. He’s pretty easy going and funny, but he h...

Greetings, all! Welp. I guess I got roped into WIP Joy. *sighs* I was going to write about Defying Apples, but that is not entirely ready yet…so you get to read about Mission: Metal. Yay!!! XD Enjoy! (P.S. I am not doing all the questions. That would take WAY too long.) 1.        Describe yourself and your WIP! Describing myself is incredibly hard. Reserved, unemotional, geeky, insane (ok, not literally), and always brimming with new ideas. Wearing pretty much only black, silver\grey, blue, deep red, and green. Listening to music, writing, watching movies, and practicing martial arts. Hanging upside down off of trees, explaining the science behind electricity to my one-year-old brother, reading late into the night. Raising dragons. Playing the violin. Being weird. Role playing. My WIP takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Shae and Archer Lia are fighting the Four Brothers to protect their family and community. If they lo...

Greetings, all! I have decided to write a post on my WIP: Mission: Metal. Guess I didn’t realize how hard that would be. Oh, well; I’ll just go ahead and write the post. I’m bored anyway (which doesn’t happen very often). Mission: Metal is a blog story I am writing. It started out as a story about a family who saves the world from a tyrannical leader who plans on blowing up what’s left of humanity. Ok, yeah; that’s not what it’s about now. Now it is a complicated story about families banding together. About trust and betrayal. About memories. About gangs. About fear. About death. I don’t really know where it’s going now. I’m sure God does. It is the first long story that I have actually written with surprising plots and complete character lists. I’m so excited about it!!! Anyway, here are some snippets. I am not good with choosing snippets; I either want to tell the whole story or not tell it at all. I found a few however, that I like. Enjoy! * Grumbl...
