The War Had Begun – A True Story

This is based on a true story that happened today, (Thursday, January 11, 2006,) and the only thing changed is that I cut my brother and mom out. (They were there when it happened in real life.) Anyways, this is a twist from my usual writing. Death, sadness, depression, revenge, and such… nowhere to be seen here! I felt like writing something different today. ^^

I was sitting in a booth at a McDonalds when it all began. A blank expression rested on my dull face showing my obvious boredom. I occasionally glanced to my left to peer through the reflective window into the play area. A young child was standing on the used cushion of the booth next to mine with the barrier of the wall between us. He was busy knocking his new toy on the glass by my head and smiling with a wide grin that lit up his face.

Our World: It Came to Me in a Dream – Chapter 4

- – -
“That is right. Keep coming. Come to Petra. Bring your people. Take them with you. Bring them. Bring them to Petra. Keep coming. You are almost there. Do not lose faith. Do not lose hope. Bring them. Bring your people to Petra.” The angels voice softly faded away into the depths of my dream as he smiled his sweet, embracing smile and radiated a golden glow that brought joy and tranquility to my soul. The angel waved his arm, bathed in robes of white, as my dream began to ripple like the precious waters of the oasis. Once again my eyes rested on the intricate designs of the rocky temples hidden within the deep valley. The protective, stone buildings that protruded from the canyon walls lay dormant, waiting within their lost location. Waiting with great patience…

Our World: It Came to Me in a Dream – Chapter 3

It was noon, and the heat was stifling. As I pulled my kaffiyeh around my dark head to shield myself from the sun’s rays, I glanced over my shoulder. My people were with me. They were following me to Petra, and they trusted me as their leader. I felt a sense of pride as I rode on in the lead, as if I was needed. My father rode alongside me with his chin held high. I was bringing great honor to the family.

Check Up: January 7, 2007

For some reason, for the last three or four word counts, they just haven’t been as high as they normally are. I just haven’t been…writing as much or something. I know that I have been drawing a lot more. I have been working on my neopets petpages and my websites a lot more often also. Well anyways, this week from December 31, 2006 to January 6, 2007, I have written 1,858 words on Magic Pens and 780 words off. This comes to a total of 2,638 words written. I have finished reading the last 2 chapters of The Little White Horse, by Elizabeth Goudge. I also read The Fifty-First Dragon by Heywood Broun and The Most Dangerous Game written by Richard Connel. This along with the first 4 chapters of DragonFlight by Anne McCaffrey comes out to be an okay reading total for me.

Girl Version Rewrite

Well, I have decided to change my character from my Revenge story to the female gender due to the large amount of votes. I think that it would be a pretty cool idea. I will rewrite my Revenge story once again, this time thinking of the character as a girl. I need some help thinking of a name however. Here is a picture to get a vague idea of what she looks like. (Please note that I am not very good at drawing humans. Animals are my thing.)

New Blog Layout

Yippee! I have finally gotten around to drawing my own layout. Now, I am not as good an artist as Jessica Peffer (the artist for my last layout,) so I admit that this layout is worse than my last, but I actually drew this one. I am very proud of myself for this accomplishment. I will be drawing new dividers and a new dragon head to the title of each post. These will all be drawn by me eventually.

Girl or Guy?

If you have read either the first or second version of my story Revenge, I am currently trying to decide wether to make the character male or female. Please tell me what you think on this subject.

REWRITE – Our World: Revenge

I have rewritten my story, Revenge, which takes place in Our World. Please tell me if this version is better than the last!

I stared intently into the frightened eyes that stared in reply. The eyes spoke of the deep fear that grew within the Qurk lying on the floor before me. He cowered as he waited for me to bring his life to an end and he shook in solicitude. My chest was heaving from the vigorous fight and sweat dripped from my forehead. My only thoughts were on the Qurk however. I held a stern face with the pride hidden inside me. I gave my victim no information through my facial expressions. I had no facial expressions. My gray eyes were empty as I held the thin blade of my sword against his neck. I was trained to be emotionless.

He slowly began to back away from me, yet I quickly used the tip of my sword to cut into his arm. He roared in pain and humiliation as he instantly grabbed his wound and scowled at me. I smiled as his pain brought me satisfaction. I wanted him to suffer, and I wanted it to last. I held my stance above the alien as I regained my breath.

As I scrutinized the alien’s face, horrible memories began to recur. Memories that I had pushed to the corners of my mind were awakening. Memories…that I had hoped would never return. I lost focus as the dreaded thoughts flashed through my mind. My countenance displayed worry and pain for a moment as I lost myself in my retention. I slightly lowered my weapon before quickly regaining my wits. I was not to let my guard down.

However, the remembrance pursued.

Improvements: January 2, 2007

Alright, I am really in a writing mood and I have a feeling that says that I will be for most of this week. First off, I would like to get a few ideas about my already-written materiel. I would like feedback and suggestions that could help me. It would help to know everybody’s favorites. My two main stories currently are The Horse From the Woods (working on Chapter 2) and Lost in this World (working on Chapter 7). Don’t forget about the short stories!

I plan to rewrite Our World: Revenge to develop the character more and possibly use him in further stories. Hmm… an idea just came to me as I was typing this. Well, I am off to write!
