Tuesday 25 November 2008 - "Turkey...AGAIN?"

 I bet they did not even HAVE turkey at the first Thanksgiving, I am going to look into it. I am going to protest as well, "Down with Turkey! Turkeys are evil! Eat more cows!"
 Well, as you can see, it is that time of year again. Yep, that wonderful holiday where we all get together and remember all we are thankful for...but I am not feeling every thankful at the moment. Why aren't I? Because I have the flu, blech, and was invaded by that bird dubbed, "turkey". Actually I am thankful, I am just ranting because I can.
 I discovered today that while you are too sick to so much as sit up you can lay flat on your back and type out three chapters without having your characters hold a gun on you. WHoever gave Jefferson that gun is toast...oh wait... that would be me. *Looks for eraser*
 Jefferson: Don't even think about it! It is MINE, and why aren't you writing.
 Can it villian or I will do something evil!
 Oh! I also discovered beds can get VERY uncomfortable...and...that is about it.
 So anyways, that was my day, It was no different then any other day other then the fact I was too sick to fight Jefferson, but I shall get him later.
 Anyhow, my computer, as you may know, was acting up again so I went to Michael who had said he could fix it if it did this certain thing again. So I went up to him and on hands and knees begged for help. well not really, but he said he would help and so took it for a whole day, I nearly died, well, okay, so I didn't but hey....
 Anyways he took everything off and put on only what I NEED, and now it is as good as new, and all it cost me was chocolate chip cookies. Michael and Josh are the best, if it were not for them I would have given up on writing being that I could not stand the computer.
 Anyways, now the turkey deal. Don't get me wrong, I like Thanksgiving. Every year I try and remember to wear my shirt with the pumpkins on the sleeves so I can hear michael's dad remind everyone how much he likes pumpkin pie.
 I like remembering everything we have to be thinkful for, but what I don't like is that bird. I do not know why I do not like turnkey, rather I didn't, now I do. It is because they are SO big, and after you have like five pieces of meat from it on Thanksgiving you are stuck with this over sized bird up till Christmas, if you are lucky. If you arent you are stuck eating turkey sandwhiches up till Spring thaw, and our spring does not come until June...if we are lucky :D
 And so, in spite of the bird and my pounding head, I am happy, other then the fact Sarah is mericlessly picking on me.
 Well, that is all, Jefferson is getting his toga in an uproar, I have to go.

Sunday 23 November 2008 - Please read, see my cleaver title?

I have been doing a lot of thought as to were to start in this endeavor. I have been praying about it for a while, and God has finally given me a good idea. I am trying to start a...prayer group I guess it is called. I am trying to get many of the young people I know together every other week to pray and studying the Bible.

I got this idea over a many of things. One being I cannot remember when Christians last got together to pray, at least from where I am. Also during the election I was on line with my friends and through the whole thing they were praying, it was wonderful! Another being that long ago God used prayer to revive our nation. And so, I am inviting all of my on line friends to pray with me.

I have set up a chat room which is protected by a password so that no one can get on unless they have it. Here is the link...http://www.chatzy.com/330709073000 the password is enter. Now I know no one is never on at the same time, so the prayer meetings shall be held at different times. I am thinking we can start with just an hour, maybe every day, every other day. The times shall have to be worked out as we go. It is up and running now, and I am going to try and have the first main meeting this Friday at seven mountain time, I believe it is mountain type, shall I say seven in the same time zone as Wyoming. That said drop by it at any time as someone may be on, but on Friday I am hoping to have nearly everyone there and get secludes worked out and all.

What I am thinking we shall do is study a passage on prayer, the ones at the meeting can decided on a passage. The only rule to this is that they must be studied in context, that means adding at least five verses before the verse and five after, or as many as it takes so that the verse is understood. Once then we can all pray, writing down our prayers as we pray, if that does make any sense. One thing we NEED to pray for is our government, but we can also tell our own requests and pray for them as well.

I believe that is all for now, so I am going to send this off.

Monday 17 November 2008 - Me, I think

 I have been requested to post a picture, and being me, the sort who would jump off a cliff if you begged me, I agreed to it. So, at long last, you get to see the nut behind...this, or something like that. Anyways, here I am, don't faint on me or anything, I know I am scary, but let's have no screaming, WAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is me, what...You don't believe me?

Okay, I will be good.

Wednesday 12 November 2008 - This is all thanks to Nate, so he should title this...

 Nate said I have to update. I would but I do not know what to say. "Hi, my name is Heather, and well, I have never eaten a fish." *Clappings* "I am glad to have that off my chest."
 Nate: Heather, stop playing around!
 Okay, I will be serious. Gas prices have gone down, I have been watching Americans rush to the nearest gas station to finally fill up their cars.
 The weather is cold, snowy, you get the idea.
 Oh yeah, and I flew to Arazona, that was fun. Saw a concert, met up with my contact who gave me some top secret news I am not allowed to tell anyone. Sorry, me lips are sealed.
 And, that is about it. Oh yeah, I finished Red, and wanted to cry because Thomas died, but he came back to life again. However I am still sad seeing as Carlos is going to turn good and I do not like Carlos and wish Thomas would knock him into next week.
 Then I talked my friend into telling me if Thomas lives and the news was so sad I want to go whap DeKker on the head with a book. Not really, I would never make it, ten feet within him and I would fall over. Anyways, it is still mean of him to kill Thomas, Thomas is just so cool.
 Jefferson hyas been lying low for a while, I think Nate has been threatening him. All I know I have not heard a peep from him for a while. Maybe he ran into a brick wall and was knocked out. Maybe he annoyed Jeremy one to many times.
 Anyways, book three is still in a runt, *Glares at plot* but no matter, on we march, we will susceed. Divid and conqure, or stay together.
 Anyways, I think I have rabbled long enough, don't you agree? Yes, yes, very good. Now I am off to fight the never ending battle against evil plots and annoying bad guys who like laughing at little girls and running into brick walls, ouch.
 And so I sign off, remaining...someone.

Tuesday 4 November 2008 - Prayer

 I read a book once about one of the great awakenings. This awakening was brought on, mainly, by one pastor who dared to do what everyone said was impossible.  He got together with a bunch of poor, what most called scum, of the city of New York, and prayed with them. God used this man's bravery to bring a wayward nation back to Him. Through prayer he turned America on its head, shook them to their core, and showed them He is God.
 God can use prayer to change the world. Today we need prayer. Join me in doing what that pastor did all those years ago, gather as many as you can, and pray. God can still revive our nation, and we as Christains need to do what He has called us to do. 
 We need to unite, not only for important events, but in all things. However, seems to me this is a good day to start. Will you join me and pray as the fate of our country is decided over the next few days?

Thursday 30 October 2008 - The troublesome plot and the dreaded editing

 Jack Patterson here. Heather is editing a book and so cannot write at the moment, being the gentleman I am I decided to do it for her. *Snickering in the background* Ignore Jefferson, he is still sore.
 Jefferson: I am not sore!! There is only so much a man can take! And having to put up with that girl is more then any man should have to bear!
 Jack: Hush!! Stop your whinning and go plot something evil. And leave Heather alone! She has enough to think about without you making trouble.
 Jefferson: What can she possibly have to think about? And need I remind you you are just a little boy? You HAVE to listen to me! I am older.
 Jack: Do I really have to list everything? There is her upcoming trip to Arazona, her trip to Colorado, NaNo, work, her many books, YOU, the plot change, editing the second book, trying to prod Isidore out of his gloom, getting the pirates to behave...
 Jefferson: Okay...I get the idea *Leaves room sulking*
 Jack: As I was saying...we have run into some trouble with editing book two. Then again, editing is just a pain. Also book three is a disaster, everyone of us admits that. Heather is tempted to toss it out the window, but we wont let her. I really can't blame her though, there are only so many times one should have to endure plot changes. However to her credit she is still writing, she is dertermanded not to give up.
 How can one book give one girl so much trouble? I should post the background behind this book, she would but she starts to tremble at the very thought of it.
 The trouble with this book is it has so many sub plots. There is Doug and his belief in evelution that must be dwelt with, then for fun Heather decided Alice and Doug should end up getting married...then there is Jones and his secret, Jefferson of course, Les and his uncle...and then my dad who develops cancer and all the trials that brings to everyone. Then there is Sam's sudden jelosy that has to be worked out, and Jessie having to learn to admit she does get frightened. And all this has to flow smoothly together, so you can see why there is so many troubles with it. Oh, yes, and the sword, I mean after all that is what this book is about right?
 Well...we will keep you posted on how this book goes, and if Heather doesn't keep you posted the rest of us will. I am off!
 Ever yours, Jack

Tuesday 28 October 2008 - New news and such

 I am just popping by to let everyone know that if I vanish in November don't panic, I will still be alive and well, if certain characters don't get me. This year, I am proud to announce, I am doing NaNoWriMo!!!! Yeah, I know, very exciting, and very nerve wracking.
 Actually i am very excited, I have a good plot that should be a lot of fun and if I cut back on some things I know I can reach the goal, with some self disipline.
 Anyways, that is about it. Book three is still being a pain and I have hit a brick wall, HARD with the plot and it flat out refuses to do anything. *Gumbles under breath about plots* Actually all of mine have done it, I am at a dead end for the time being and am sitting on the ground banging my head against a wall. Maybe I should give in for a bit, go for a walk in the wind, slid on the snow, cruch some leaves, ooo, and eat some chocolate.
 *Wanders off to look for chocolate and ease her pounding head*

Saturday 25 October 2008 - Why cant they listen?

 Jefferson got mad at me because I was going to take him out of the book, Les is being a pain and not doing anything he is supposed to, I cannot keep the two straight, and I think there is another guy creeping about spying on the Marshalls, but I am not sure. Then there is Jones, let's not forget him!!

 So, once more I am fighting characters, trying to weave so many sub plots into the plot I am dizzy, and still the book is too short. These are my 3rd book troubles.

 This book has been giving me trouble since I started, I would move it to book six or something, but that would throw everything off. I must finish it!!

 But what do I do about Jack's dad, the angry townspeople, Jones, Les, Jefferson, and whoever that other man is? Why cant they just do what I say? I am the author after all. They should all be more like Nate, Nate is by far the most behaved of all my characters.

 Well, so far Peril with the Pirates is 50 pages, I am shooting for a 100, and the story is almost over. And it is choppy, as choppy as the ocean it is set on, seems all these sub plots are not weavng together too well, thank goodness for the other books!!

 Anyhow, that is where I am on it, now I must be off, before Jefferson threatens me again.

Monday 20 October 2008 - *trips into room and glares at title* I don't want to think of a title

 Like my background? That is part of the picture that will be on the cover of book two, Misadventure on the Mountain. It is at this moment being edited, the book I mean, by our own Altariel. :D. *Bounces up and down* I can't wait to see how it turns out! Once that is done I will be publishing it.

 The first book, Trouble in the Tomb, is published, but having bad marketing. Seems this word to month is not doing that great, I think someone has wax in their ears, either that or someone cannot talk *Looks at herself*.

 Nate: Ignore her, she is doing fine considering how busy she is.

 Ahh, thanks Nate, you are always so nice! Anyhow, I am going to try and get a summery up of the first book, but at the moment have templates to do and discussions to study for, not to mention writing...*Cries* I am too busy!!!

 By, I know this is an odd entry, I just wanted to get something up so it does not look unloved.
