I'm going to try and be calm. Everyone... I won NaNoWriMo. I finished my book yesterday, Sunday, and I... I got it done. I'm not sure whether I should be screaming (I had my moments) or whether I should by forcing people to read my first draft (that's coming soon). My finished word count is 15,004 words. Can you believe it?
Now everywhere I go, I'm carrying the Go Teen Writers: How To Turn Your First Draft Into A Published Book. This book is literally my best friend, well other than Charisma (and another great friend of mine!) of course. Although, I'm kind of scared/pumped up for the editing stage. I just hope everyone likes my characters. Does anyone have any tips on the editing process or how they edit their books? And how long do you have to wait/celebrate before you start editing? Oh! And, since it's Thanksgiving break (techincally), I have the new Rick Riordian book awaiting to be read... You know, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Sword of Summer? Yeah, you know that book. And I am so excited to read it! :D People have asked if I was going to be posting snippets of my story here on the blog. While I am still thinking whether I should or not, I will be giving out what I like to call 'Photo Pharses' and I will be doing a character interview soon or later. Also, since I love you guys, I'm going to give you all some special news! As I was writing Another Imagination, Charisma gave me the idea to write a sequel to the book. So that's what I'm going to do! Another Imagination is going to, officially, be a duology! I'll be revealing the title of the second book somewhere in the near future (maybe in Janurary or February of 2016). Everyone, I am so very excited and this is my first book I've ever really finished. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Looking around at authors blogs (I find it a very convenient thing to do when you have nothing to do... Or don't want to do anything...) and I found this link to a website called: http://bookreviewsandgiveaways.org/ Pretty sweet right? But it gets even better. If you scroll down a little bit on the site, you find this beauty. And if you look at the bottom right hand corner, you see someones signature and below their name it says 'Photography'. I immediately thought, "Whoa, that's a REAL place?" after staring at it for hours on end (a.k.a. a minute).
It is truly beautiful. (BTW, this isn't the end of the post! there is a 'Read More' very close to this sentence. It is to the right and slightly to the bottom!) New? Start here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6.
"No one pretended to care," a strange man said. "No one even tried to look for them." I hung upside down with Destiny hanging beside me. I despised the Shadow. He didn't take things lightly, so when he found us in Gotham City doing nothing, he attacked us from behind and started to monologue our whole story. Or what he thought was our story. "As they hung upside down in the Shadow's Pit, a knock was detected," he said. And, like he planned everything, we heard a knock. "Come in son," he whispered quietly. Apparently, Shadow's son heard him and came through the invisible door. I couldn't see him in the dark, but when he stepped into the little light we had, he seemed to be a couple years older than me. Shadow took his son by the arm and lead him back into the darkness, perhaps talking about another scheme. "Sahara, I can get out of this chain, but I need you to swing me," Destiny softly said. "Okay," I replied. "When you get out, I need you to run from Shadow's Pit as fast as you can and go to Phillip in Smallville." "I can't just leave you here!" she answered. "We don't have to discuss this," I told her. "I'll be okay. I promise." She nodded her head and I struggled to push myself to her. Once I finished clanking my chains into hers, she slipped out. Catlike, she did a back-flip and landed perfectly into the darkness. I felt her glance at me one more time before running off. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF APRIL!
Yup! It's the first day of April! I know right, it just flew by. But in four days... Something other than TABC is happening. I'll tell you guys on Saturday.
>:3 Okay, so for TABC, as you all now, is on April 11th. Yeah, yeah... I know. I'm still skipping a Sunday (and I AM including this day). I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S SO CLOSE! BTW, I'm still working to get me that writing tablet... I will get it. :3 And I might be doing NaNoWriMo! I just need to ask my parents first. :D I'm going to be posting the Nex Gen Justice League story on Friday since I didn't do it Monday (again sorry about that!) So stay in tune (with the force... *cough cough*). Hey Everybody! So I listen to TONS and TONS of Songs to get me in the mood to write. Most of them are instrumental, but some of them have words, and they are my favorite. XD Hope you like them. Ryan Stewart - Summer IS BEAUTIFUL! I just love his songs. Which one do you like the most? Do you listen to music when writing? What songs do you like to listen too on a daily basis? Tell me in the comments!
BTW, soon, I'll be showing you my book cover for a NEW book I'm writing. Can't wait to tell you! ~Bianca WARNING! Okay people, this is going to be the longest post I have EVER MADE for Coming Soon: Book and there will be a lot of accessories and just outfits/inspiration quotes. SO BEWARE ALL YE THAT READETH! Anywhoo, here is the post! Hey Everybody! So as you can see on my title heading. I'm going to be talking about Accessories and Writing Quotes! But first I've decided to do the writing quotes. These quotes that you are about to see are beautiful! SO here they are! Literally people, READ THE WHOLE THING. And if you didn't read all of them... GO BACK AND READ THEM ALL. THEY ARE INSPIRATION QUOTES, ENJOY THEM. Anywhoo. Weren't they amazing? I love them all. X3 #InspirationQuotesRock I am indeed going to Teen Author Boot Camp, unless something bad happens (which I'm praying won't). So I'm thinking that I want to wear this kind of outfit. And I'm thinking about having my hair up too. It would look super adorable. Anyway, with that outfit, I wanted some type of necklace to go with it. And this is what my research has lead me too.... ETSY! What a wonderful place that is. So I searched there and I found some great stuff. But FIRST, I want to show you these amazing cute outfits that I saw. Adorable right? So now for the Etsy stuff. Click on the images to go to the site. Super cute, yes I know. But I can only pick like two to buy, because some of them cost around 15 dollars NOT including shipping and tax. So that's that. And I'm going to have a hard time picking because there's around thirty of them hanging around in my favorites... X3
Tell me in the comments what your favorite outfit is and necklace! So I decided to do an ancient history story... I haven't been in the writing mood lately ever since I'm putting Ebinicah James and the Crystal Orb on hold, so, I think I'm going to do another new story, and honestly, I like where this one is headed. I think I was inspired (Follow Your Inspiration Month is in two more days!) by Stephen Kings quote (click here for the post). I just felt inspired. But anywho. Wish me luck guys!
Thanks and please comment! ~Bianca (P.S. I've been listening to Legend of Zelda music for writing inspiration) Hey!
So let me get STRAIGHT to the point. I'm putting my book (click here to find out more about my book) that I currently was working to finish, on hold. Because my mother said that I should work on something for a younger age group, and since I thought that was a great idea, I decided to do it! I'll give you more information about throughout the week. Tell me what you think! Thanks and please comment! ~Bianca Hey Everybody! This is a ONCE AND A LIFETIME MOMENT FOR ME. I'm going to show you my Book Cover. It's not my OFFICIAL book cover and this may not be my official book summary, but it's the one I have up for YWP NaNoWriMo.
Please know that this took a long time to do, (finding the picture took the longest though) and trying to make it they way it looks now was hard work too, so please do not take and claim it as your own. And the summary may have taken me a few minutes to do, but still, please do not take it and claim it as your own.
So how do you like it? Tell me in the comments! Thanks! ~Bianca Hey Everybody!
Today actually might be the last time I'm posting in here because of the holidays. And then when the holidays are over, I'll be posting again! So just wanted to inform you of that! :3 Thanks and please comment! ~Bianca |
I am the Smol Scribble. I came to realize that, even though the first drafts of books aren't perfect, they are the closest to my heart...
