Okay, I have thought of this idea that whenever I think of a short story idea that has many possibilites, I will post it here and anybody can join in on it. There are no prizes and it isn’t a contest, but it could be fun and it could possibly get some people writing. If I get any people asking me to continue a story that I have already finished, I will probably add that here.
Write your “ending” to my open-ended story, Lost in this Word.
This is my attempt at Matt’s Contest 01, including the bonus no-vowel sentence.
Where was I?
Suddenly, I came to and repeatedly blinked my eyes, clearing my mind of the thick fog that hazed over my thoughts. I shook my head as my eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light that the moon gave from overhead. There was a crisp nip in the air that made me shiver in my cold, metal armor, yet I stood tall and still as I had been trained to. The night sky was painted deep blue with stars littering the sky alongside the moon, emitting the vague sliver of silver light spilling across the grass upon which I stood.
Word counts for me seem to change just as the tides in the ocean do. There are highs and there are lows that come in gradual and sometimes sudden waves. This week from February 4 to February 10, 2007, is one of my “low tides” with 1,946 words on Magic Pens and 111 words on paper to equal a total of 2,057 words. This week I have had a lot of homework every day and I had to babysit. When I did have time to write, I used it to think of an idea for Matt’s contest, but unfortuantely, couldn’t think of anything. I hope that next week will be a much better week for me! For reading, I once again replaced reading-time to think of idea’s for Matt’s contest and have only read 69 pages of The River by Gary Paulsen and finished up Romeo and Juliet.

These both illustrate my story, The Horse From the Woods, so please read and comment on it if you have not done so already.
For all of you wondering about the “Mr. Stein Incident”…I shall tell you about it.
I am currently taking Art Techniques II with Mr. Stein at Central Campus, 5th hour and we are currently finishing up our gesture drawing, shape people done with oil pastels. When we finish our oil pastel drawings, we are to look for a reference picture so we can draw a picture for our next assignment, and although I am not finished with my oil pastel drawing yet, I already knew what picture I wanted to use for my next assignment. It was on Wednesday, February 5, 2007 that I took my gryphon picture, that I had drawn the night before, up to Mr. Stein and asked him if I could use it for my next assignment.
I just found out that the background for my blog has not been showing up on everybody’s computers including the ones at school, so I tried to figure out why. I still do not know why the background hasn’t been showing up because it shows up my home computer perfectly fine, but it might be because my computer has seen the background, if that makes any sense. I was on a school computer when I realized that my blog’s background was purple instead of space-like, but after I had gone to the URL of my background, it started showing up. I am confused or as I say, confoosled.

This is a picture that illustrates the gryphon in my story, The Horse From the Woods Chapter 1 Part . I drew this picture about a year ago and will have a redrawn version of it up soon. 
Here is a story that I wrote when I was eight years old that was actually inspired by the book, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen which I read in second grade. Please note that I have not run this through Spell Check and have purposely left in all of the grammar and spelling mistakes to show you how much I have improved in the last six years of my life. Each page of this story was complete with illustrations, but I am just going to leave those out.
It was a beautiful sight. The dolphins were jumping in and out of the ocean. Nine year old Zed, was watching them sway through the ocean by the large boat. He was going to Hawaii for vacation. He was just relaxing in his chair staring over the boat watching the dolphins. He was enjoying his trip so far. One day a terrible storm rose.
Holy crap! I don’t know how this is possible, but I wrote more this week than any other week before! This week from January 28 to February 3, 2007 I have written 11,023 words on Magic Pens and 894 words on paper. Together, this comes to be 11,917 words. For reading, I finished reading the last 115 pages of Brian’s Winter by Gary Paulsen, and after reading the alternate ending for Hatchet it made me want to re-read Hatchet again. Unfortunatly, I couldn’t find it in my bookshelf, so I started reading the sequel, The River and have read the first 30 pages along with 30 pages of Romeo and Juliet.
Okay, *sigh* I think that for once, I shall clear my mind of the thoughts that have been collecting for a while. These thoughts have been haunting me, and I have constantly been reminded of my next year of school…or life for that matter, not just school. I figured that this writing will possibly help me figure some things out and I am completely making this up as I go, so I apologize ahead of time if it is pointless, random, and not very well-written. I have never done the whole write-down-your-thoughts thing before… Also, I am not going to Spell Check this because these are my thoughts exactly as they are flowing out from my mind, across my keyboard. Sorry if my grammar is a little off, as this is just the way that I think.

Airiokko is a neopets lupe, which is very much like a wolf. To see Airiokko in all his glory, visit the page I made for him. Oh, also, Airiokko is pronounced air-ree-oh-koh.
Depression…
Sadness…
Pain…
These very words may mean nothing to you, but to me, they are my life. To me, these words are who I am. These words are my story…
