Hi ya,
So awesome news!! I finally got over my writers block with The Snowy waste! Whoot! So I decided to honor my lack of writers block with an all night writing fest. So far it’s going great. I’ve been at it since midnight and I’ve typed almost 5,000 words. I’ve typed 11 pages manuscript style (one inch margins arial 10 double spaced). So I’m pretty proud of me. And I’m having a riot typing cause as I think I’ve mentioned I’ve chucked out most of what I had written in favor of some new plot twists and just general tweeks that will connect it and make it flow better. So I’ve been adjusting that tonight. I was so excited I added in two battle scenes…. Hehe I have such a bad addiction to those things. Over all in what I have typed for The Snowy Waste I’m fast approaching 100,000 words!! I’m at 81,000ish now so when I hit 100,000 words we’re having a party! Haha any how I just wanted to share that I’m working on the series again. I’m still coming up with ideas for my vampire book but I’m going to pass on typing. I just want to work on the series so I can finish The Snowy Waste! I’m just so excited that it’s my main focus again! Yay! So as a bonus for you all here’s a little tid bit of what I’ve typed tonight.
This is just some down time/kill time till it gets good. But basically they just left Vayger and they found out that Vayger wasn’t welcoming at all and they lost their horses there so they are on foot…. Which sucks for them…. a lot. So here you go!
The air was crisp and cold when the five awoke later that day. Even though noon had passed the air was still freezing. Neal rubbed his hand together to try and bring some warmth into them. Jamie started a fire with nothing but magic and Billy helped her keep it up so they could all warm up and eat before they started their long walk north. It was going to be tough without the horses but they had to make it. Winter was upon The Waste but it had yet t snow and that made the questers a little apprehensive because it meant that the snow would come soon and there was a great possibility that they would be caught in that storm. If they were caught in that storm it would spell doom for the surely. So it was wise of them to get right back to walking after they were warm.
Muscles were sore from yesterdays fleeing but no one complained because they knew that they needed to do this. They needed to get to The Twin Talons before they were all caught and killed in a storm. As they trudged north not many words were exchanged for they knew it was easier to keep walking then to talk and waste precious energy. So one foot was paced in front of the other and they walked stride after stride north. When night fell they had covered good ground but not enough to bring them to The Talons on the next day. It would be at least another day if not more and the way the wind was blowing it felt like a snow storm was on it’s way. But they kept walking. It would have been easier with the horses and it would have been a nicer journey because they legs wouldn’t have been aching so much… but they could deal. They all knew what they had to do.
Sore legs was a small price to pay for the peace of Exyel. All of their struggles would work out for the better. Exyel needed them to finish this and they would even if they had to walk the whole way they would complete it. They would see this quest through till the end. It was this thought that kept them walking over the hard cold ground of the waste. It was this that made them pull their cloaks tight around them as they trudged on. Even with their gloves on their fingers froze and their hands shook from cold. Through two layers of socks and through their boots the cold seeped. They would stop periodically so Jamie and Billy could start a fire and warm them all before they continued on.
Day slipped into night and they stopped for rest. This time though they all had enough sense to make a fire to sleep by. After the fire was secured for the night and they had all eaten they fell asleep without much thought or talk. The days journey had taken a lot of energy and they were all anxious to get it back. So sleep blessed them all.
Hoped you liked it!!

Randomness
Hey ya,
So it’s 3:15 and I’m totally too hyper to even think of sleep. Plus I’ve still got another load of laundry on… I found the best time to do laundry in Whiteman. 2:00AM no one is using the machines so no waiting or fighting over them! Muhaha it’s great. So any how I was working on my still un-named vampire book and I got some more awesome ideas. And I’m changing Cody’s name. I feel so clever. It’s Cody Von Helsang. First it’s clever because it sounds like Van Helsing which it’s going to be explained that when Stoker wrote Dracula accurate information had to be changed. and secondly I feel clever because sang in French for blood and since it’s vampire and vampire’s drink blood…. I know dorky but way cool. And I also came up with some new scenes they’re all written… in my head. So I hope I’ll get some time to write those out tomorrow… or maybe tonight. I’m debating on whether or not to pull an all nighter to write… currently it seems very appealing because I have lots of ideas I want to type out…. But I’m not sure cause I have my early class T2K at 11. And I’m going to J - Cru tomorrow night with Campus Crusade… so I wouldn’t be in bed early to make up for it…. But it’ll be the weekend…. I’m still weighting the options. Haha. Any how…. Oh p.s. I read the new Vampire Knight chapter today cause I’m so obsessed with that manga and I liked it a lot. But I want something exciting to happen…. It’s in a bit of a lull now. So I’m waiting for some hardcore action. Speaking of hardcore I’m excited for Bullet For My Valentine’s new album… I couldn’t find a release date but I’m still pumped. And I found this sort of explanation of the album.
Matt Tuck recently told the German edition of Metal Hammer magazine, "It's kind of completely new. I don't think it's like anything on 'Poison' [2005] or 'Scream Aim Fire' [2008], is it?" Moose concurred, "It's kind of more classic, if you ask me. It's not speedy, it's not thrashy." Tuck added, "It's not thrashy or really intense metal or anything. It's just like a mid-tempo kind of really nice, hard rock song. I don't even class it as metal, really. It's got metal influences and a really cool metal riff, but the song, as a vibe, is more hard rock."
It made me very excited. Anywho… ya I think that’s all for now. Just thought I’d share a little bit of randomness with ya!!

Ta Da
Hi again,
Okay so here’s the beginning of my currently untitled vampire book. Hope you like it!
“This is not real. I am a Vampire Hunter there is no way I could be changed.” gray eyes looked into the mirror at her pale complexion. “I AM NOT a Vampire.” she said. Yet something inside her whispered that it was hungry for blood. Slowly she drew a dueling pistol and looked at it. Her stomach churned at the thought. She had created this and it was her pride and joy. It was also the only Anti-Vampire gun in existence as far as she knew. “Only one way to test.” she took a deep breath and put the gun to her hand. “This should not hurt.” Anti-Vampire weapons only hurt vampires. She was a Hunter this would be easy. Before she could second guess herself she pulled the trigger. A white hot pain seared through her. “Oh bloody hell!” she spat as blood poured from the wound. Her mind was going numb from the realization that she was a Vampire when a knock sounded at the bathroom door.
“Coddette!” it was her sister and Coddette froze with her gaze still on her bleeding hand. “Codes! Please tell me that was The Bloody Stake!”
“It was The Stake. Calm down sis.”
“Let me in! what are you doing?” her sister began turning the knob. White hot fear coursed through Coddette. Her sister was coming in! And she was a… a… a vampire! “Codes!” Coddette looked up into her sister’s shocked face. “What happened? What did you don?”
Before Coddette answered she was swept over by another thirst for blood. Instead of her sister she saw a network of veins and arteries full of blood. Blood that she wanted. Blood she needed. In the blink of an eye Coddette was behind her sister. “Codes… ” her sister whispered as fangs extended in her sister’s mouth. “Oh by the gods!” a scream ripped from her throat as Coddette bit down into her neck. Red hot liquid poured into her mouth as she gulped hungrily. Then there was the sound of someone running up the steps. Coddette broke away from her sister’s neck and stared in shock.
“Oh… bloody hell!” Coddette felt anger and shame settle in her stomach. She… had… just… “I’m so sorry… ” she whispered the grabbed up the Bloody Stake and jumped out the window. When she hit the ground she wasted no time ripping her dresses skirt so she could easily run. It did not matter who saw her like this it was the last she would ever be here. She had to get away. She had to find help. But where should she run to? Then something he had said drifted into her head. Yes she should go find him… this was so embarrassing! She was a Vampire Hunter! This was not supposed to happen. Logically she knew she should kill herself but she just, it did not seem like the right choice to make. “I condem myself to an eternal life of damnation. And so I am born into death… ”

Ideas???
Sup,
So I’m still fresh out of ideas on the Snowy Waste. So Sunday night I thought it would be a grand idea to deprive myself of sleep because I’ve had great success in coming up with ideas that way. Well four o’clock rolls around and I’m not even tired, now mind you I didn’t have any caffeine cause I wanted to get tired. So I just gave up and tried to go to bed. It took me almost an hour to get tired. Ya so I decided not to try that again. But I have been working on my vampire book. I’m typing out the beginning today and I’ll try to post that tonight to see what you all think. It should be totally bitching. And I’m also excited to write it cause it’s modern so there’s going to be f bombs and other shit coming out of people’s mouths so I’m excited. Since I’m using some of my crazy friends as models it’s going to get ridiculous and I can’t wait to write it! Plus Cody is basically on of my good guy friends in female form. Hahaha I can’t wait to see his reaction whn he finds out. I’ve been at college less then a month and I’m already fast becoming a typical college kid. I’m supposed to be working on finishing my English Essay rough draft due in my next class that starts at 2:30.… ya I’m so not doing that. I work better when I have five minutes to come up with an idea. It always works out great! Hahaha.
Any how I need to hop on that essay…. Ugh. I wish you all an AMAZING day!!

FanFic, Signing, and Stuff
Hello,
So I’m home for the weekend and my computer has been off till about five minutes ago. I went yard sale-ing yesterday then I babysat. And I babysat again today because despite what everyone told me I didn’t really believe that college textbooks were EXPENSIVE! But I’m still pretty broke and all from buying my books so I came home to dye my hair and make money. Haha so now I look like a proper peacock again with my assortment of colors in my hair. P.S. Check out the pic of m hair. i love it!
Now for some good news… or bad news…. Depends on your view of this. But I just got myself an account on Fanfic.net. I wanted to try my hand at it and practice some writing techniques and get feedback. So ya… I’m still a little afraid at what people will think…. So I’m not posting my fanfic pen name yet. I just thought I’d give you all a little laugh.
I’ve come up with some new ideas for my vampire book…. Which still doesn’t have a title…. Grr me. But it’s sort of coming along, mostly in my head though. And I’m still looking around inside my head for some ideas to progress The Snowy Waste. It’s still at a very sad standstill.
Oh and that just reminded me. I’m in the process of setting up a book signing at the either Califon Book Store or the Clinton branch of the library. Now I’m really leaning toward the library because I’ll end up making more from it and since I’m a poor college student money is always welcome. Haha. So totally stay tuned for that.
And how I think that’s it for now…..

New Book and Other Info
Hey….
Sorry it’s been so long. I’ve been busyish. I’m trying to settle into the swing of college and stay ahead of my work which I’m doing really good at so far. And as for writing… I haven’t done an over abundance of it. I’ve typed maybe two pages in The Snowy Waste… it makes me sad but I’m just so stuck up on this one part and I don’t know how to change it or whatever. So I think I’m going to go back and start doing some edits on the first part and leave the second part for now.
On the whole upside of having writers block on the series I’ve come up with another writing tangent that I’m currently pursuing. I was bored Wednesday night after classes so I started doing one of my favorite things… researching vampires! Now let me tell you. I have sooo much information saved on my computer about Vampires. And not Stephanie Meyer’s pansy ass washed out vampires but real Vampires. Like the old school ones that can only come out at night and need to be decapitated and burned to be killed. The ones that are not good looking but are rather grotesque. And those are going to be the Vampires in my new book…. Which is yet to get a title. But basically the vamps in my book are old school. They must abide by The Six Traditions. So there are laws that they must follow and behaviors they must abide by. Okay so the basic jist of the book is the main character Cody Van Helsing (she’s a chick) and her clan of Vampire Hunters travel the world killing Vampires that are causing problems for towns. And the towns must have contacted her through mail for her help. She also deals with a few other paranormal sort of things during the book. So far it’s not going to be a series but there will be plenty of room for me to branch off and write other Cody Van Helsing books. Oh and she also uses come really cool Anti-Vampire weapons that she’s created. And ya… that’s basically all I’ve got so far.
So…. I think that’s just about all I’ve been up to writing wise lately. but just to give you some info on what I’ve been up to at school… well I’ve been adjusting to classes and it I totally love all my classes they’re actually surprisingly easy which is nice. I’m almost two weeks ahead in homework for most of my classes. And over all I’m having a good time. I’m finally making friends and what not. And I’m going home this weekend and I know I’m going to miss campus…. How weird is that. So ya anyway I’m going to hit up lunch now. I’ll try to post more often I’ve just been busy and a bit lazy!

Writer's Block
Sup,
So I’ve run into a little bit of a problem…. I’ve got a slight case of writers block. I wrote so much that I’ve run out of good stuff it seems. I don’t feel like typing from my notebooks because the whole Vayger scene is changed now so it’s nothing like the notebooks anymore… I want to change it more but I don’t quite know where I want to take it. But on the up side I’ve got over 75,000 words typed! Yay! So I’m not to miffed that I’m blocking up right now. Besides I’m about half way though the events in the book….. And since I’ve got an over abundance of time now at college I have to do something…. So I’m trying to type new snippets of the epic plot twist. And they’re coming out okay… not the best but okay. So anyway this is just a short post cause I had two really long ones yesterday.
Aaaand I was going to put up the map… but it turns out I don’t have it scanned to my laptop. Awesome! So instead here’s the Exyel and Dar family tree. Each row is a generation… red lines are children and blue lines mean they’re married…. Yup well that’s also in the key. Enjoy!
