So I have finished it. Chapter four is complete! Can you believe it?? I was able to put into words what I wanted. Yeah it needs to be edited and it really will but I am finally done with chapter four. Now I am working on Chapter seven which will have a cute romance forming. Mwahahaha. I am so excited.
Just wanted to drop in and say what was happening. Oh also, my best friend is totally reading the first six chapters right now and we are going to hash out what needs to be fixed, added, and removed. Let's cross our fingers that this turns out to be worth our time.
Now off to be a good girl and do homework.

Sick Days
Hey guys.
Yeah, as the title says I am at home sick. I am wrapped up on the recliner watching my favorite anime D. Gray-Man, debating on getting a glass of my favorite tea, and wondering what is actually wrong with me. Is it migraine that is upsetting my stomach or is it a stomach ache that is causing a migraine from my lack of sleep? One good thing about being sick is missing class and therefore having free time to write for my story.
I just started to write more for chapter four. It is all about Anderson and Alyssa. Let's see how fun it will be. Also anyone who follows my anime page. I will update sometime today, it'll be a short one though.
Lots of love.

Exciting News!!
Hey, hey! I have some great news about Twin Eyes! I finally have an idea for chapter four! Yep, that means that I am finally over part of my writer's block. I just need to get the words from my head onto paper and I will be golden. It was so hard for me to come up with the idea that I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to finish this story, but I finally got it.
This chapter four is about the Resistance training facility but I didn't want to write the ENTIRE chapter about it. So I decided I would throw in something special. Not going to say what, but it'll be good.
As for the YouTube front that I mentioned earlier, I am working on planning out videos so that I will be prepared. It should be easier now that my homework load is lighter at school. So be expecting a new video update on YouTube within the next couple of weeks about my progress.
Well that is it for now, I will catch you all laters.
Bye!

Mirror vs Eyes
It's that time again. Everyone who has ever gone to school knows it too. Midterms. Yikes. Well good thing I am currently passing my classes...I hope. Just kidding, I am. Anyway, I was thinking the other day (when I should have been studying) about my stories. I couldn't decide which story I wanted to have as my highest priority (after school of course). Twin Eyes is nearly complete I am just stuck at a road block on a few chapters. Ultimate Mirror on the other hand is a new story and with the fact that I want to do a prequel makes it a lot more of a challenge. I am thinking of putting Ultimate Mirror on a hold until I can gather my wits about the story and focus my remaining energy on Twin Eyes.
What got me thinking about this was my video that I put together about my character's songs. Anyone who reads my weekly anime page knows that I am a huge fan of AMV's so I love to make all types of videos. I decided that I would focus solely on the characters until ideas pop in my head. Who knows, maybe I will develop the characters better with this process.
OH!! I forgot to say that I also am designing some cover concepts. Hopefully I will be able to hand draw my cover. It's still in the early stages and I haven't officially drawn my characters before so I want to get an idea of what the characters look like before I draw up the official look.
My idea so far is Alyssa and Nathan Rinehart's faces. I don't know if they are going to be head on, overlapping, or profiles yet, but I will post a picture when I have a rough idea.
As I mentioned earlier, I have an anime page. I will post a new blog post advertising it so to speak. As well as talking about an idea for a sort of 'vlog' about my anime topics. That idea is still on the drawing board until I have more time to write out concepts and plan videos. Might just throw the idea out the window. We shall see.
Have a great weekend everyone.

New Ideas
Hey all.
So I was thinking that Ultimate Mirror will be a sequel. My character development is poor and the reader doesn't get to know the characters like I do. The new story that I am planning will be several years prior about the main characters and how they became friends. It is always important to me that my readers feel the same about my characters as I do and in order for them to do so they need to grow with these characters. I have always wanted to do stuff like this because I have grown up with some of my favorite characters and I want my readers to do the same.
I am always hoping for something great.
In my pocket right now for stories is:
- Ultimate Mirror
- Twin Eyes (almost complete)
- Dark Angel (on hiatus)
- Unnamed Prequel to Ultimate Mirror
- Falling like Wonderland
Let's hope that everyone likes these stories as much as I do.
If you don't want to wait to hear more about my stories, I do have one story out there on Wattpad. I will put the link to my profile up at a later point.
Damn, I feel like I am grasping for straws. Well that is all for now. I will post my anime update this week.
For now. Ciao.

Jumbled Thoughts
Hey guys.
I am suddenly feeling lost. I don't understand why I do, but I just am. My head is filled with thoughts of not belonging. I think I blame this new story idea for these thoughts. It's almost like I don't know where I fit in. At home, at school, at work...I just can't find a place. This isn't just a new thought either. I have been having this reoccurring feeling for years.
My writing, my stories, it is all a big diary entry. My feelings thrown into a different character's life and world. Cresent Moon, Redeemption, Like You, Twin Eyes, Dark Angel, and now even Ultimate Mirror. My heart is uneasy and I create characters who are filled with those same feelings. Laurel, Lindsay, Alyssa, Selene, and Allen. Hell even my fanfics I have written: 23 Days, Nothing Personal, The Other Side of Me...those characters are expressions of what I feel. I just can't seem to shake the feeling.
And now this is turning into a diary entry. Sorry.
On a brighter note....Ultimate Mirror has some very interesting scenes appearing. Let's just say that my mind is a very scary place.
Haha, strange scenes aside. Has anyone read Allegiant yet? Yeah, well neither have I. My friend just borrowed me her copy, so I am going to read it tonight. Let's hope that even with this "controversial ending", the book ends the series wisely. (I am scared to read it though).
I suppose I should get some homework done while I wait for class to start, but I would prefer to write on here than to study about Hamsters and Gerbils.
OH! Wanna see two pictures that I find to be very inspiring for writing Twin Eyes and Ultimate Mirror?

This is a picture that helped me write Twin Eyes, especially the character of Anderson who is a dual-swordsman.
This picture helped me to create two characters from Ultimate Mirror. I won't say which two because I haven't formally written a full chapter yet.
It is always exciting to find inspiration in the little things.
Hope you guys had a good safe Halloween.
Also anime fans. Don't forget to check out my anime page! Bleach fans keep an eye out because I will be posting a theories page for what I think will happen in the last volume or two of the series.
Have a great one you guys.

Letting Out the Steam!
It's that time of year again. The craziness of the fall and winter is beginning once more. While the psychos roam the streets (anywhere really), we need to find a way to release the frustrations of having to deal with such stressful environments. Some people exercise, others shop (though why you would want to shop now is beyond me), some change their looks. As for me, I write. My angriest, and even most depressing, scenes have been written during times of stress and upset. It is when I feel most inspired. It is almost like the characters chatter away in my brain making the feeling of urgency even worse. So I put those frustrations on paper.
My latest scribble fest is a new story idea. It is currently untitled because I haven't hit a point where that 'Ah ha!' has hit me. I don't really know exactly where this story will take me, but it seems like fun for now. (Smile, this is a good thing!)
Now this doesn't mean that Twin Eyes is on the back burner, it is also a current running in my head. (Yeah, it's painful with so many chatty-Cathy's in my head). The reason I started this new story is to get my mind off of Twin Eyes for a bit until I can become inspired to write the remaining chapters that evade me. (I see those little buggers hiding around the corner playing Peek-a-Boo). Unfortunately this means that on top of the stress of being a college student, I also have my brain wrapped around these stories. (School always comes first!) I sometimes find it hard to sleep at night, but such is the life of a writer. Insomnia must be a growing thing amongst writers.
Luckily I have three days off between work and school. Otherwise I would lose my mind...even more so than I already have.
PLUS!!! I am a fangirl of many things. My current obsession is anime, so I follow many currently running stories that help to inspire me. Sadly, this means that I have some form of anxiety (mostly from one story) when it comes to waiting. The two stories I am really into right now are Bleach by Tite Kubo and Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. Yeah yeah. I know what you're thinking. (Trust me I have heard it all). What is a twenty-one year old doing watching and reading "cartoons"? But to be honest, the different worlds that these Japanese mangaka create is a wonderful escape from the hardships of the real world. I don't really care if I am judged for it, it is something that makes me happy, so why should I fit in with what people want to see me as? Anyway (rambling over), those stories give the right amount of suspense (because I have to wait a week between chapters) that helps me to create a tense environment necessary for my story. (That could just be I want some where to vent).
Whoa...talk about getting off topic. I guess I just needed to talk about the new things in my writing and reading life.
Let me know (to those few readers I have) what else you would like to see on here. I am willing to talk about anything writing and reading related.
Later!
