Nov. 19, 2009 - LOTR. (gah! even the title annoys me!)
Hey everybody!
I'm just here to post about something that's really been getting on my nerves lately... (It's my own personal opinion, I don't have anything against you guys.)
The title saysl "LOTR" which is exactly what I am going to post about.
I only have one question......Why is everyone so crazy about it? I mean, there's got to be more to life than lord of the rings, right? (Don't answer that question).
I myself want nothing more to do with lotr, I am totally sick of it, and I never want to see the movies, or read the books again! gah!
Why why why do you all like it so much?
Ok now that my ranting and raving is over, goodbye!
I just recently found this song called Travelin' Thru by Jason Castro (A guy from 'American Idol' who made it to third place then was voted out.) It is amazing!!! I have it on my playlist by the way ;-) Here are the lyrics:
Travelin' Thru
By Jason Castro.
Well I can't tell you where I'm going, I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit
Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' on
Questions I have many, answers but a few
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me
God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly
Goodbye little children, goodnight you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru
I have new template! I make templates now! Oh, and if you want one just pm me and i'd be happy to make one for you!
Anyway, as I have said many times before....NaNoWriMo has started (Yes, I'm a NaNoWriMo freak, lol.)...And sadly, I am seven thousand words behind! I have hit writers block and its driving me crazy!!! Anyone...You there... yes you, the one who is reading my blog... that's it, lean closer.
Do you write stories? If so, have you ever hit writers block? If so, what do you do when you hit it? I need help!
Well, I actually came up with a poem last week. Its for my book, and its about a shipwreck. Here it is:
“The Myriad, a ship so fine, sailed the waters, blue, divine. She sailed with many a sailor on board, but never was she to reach the shore. She rode the waters strong and fast, but the fate was hers to never last. And as a storm approached her sails, among the vast waves The Myriadflailed. Struck the storm her bow a blow so intense, The Myriad was cast astray and hence. The lightning and thunder it shattered her stern, and The Myriad’s timber’s the lighting did burn. And alas the ship sank, with a groan of despair, and vanished ‘neath the waves as if into thin air.”
Well there it is! Please tell me what you think. I am dying for someone else's opinion!

Nov. 2, 2009 - Here I am, at five thirty in the morning...
Yes, the title says it all. I am here posting at five thirty in the morning. crazy right? I agree.
Since yesterday was the first day of Na No Wri Mo I decided to stay up all night with my cousin, and begin my novel. And with the help of several cups of coffee, ice water, and coca cola, I have sucsessfully pulled an all-nighter! I have written three thousand words, and I am, quite frankly, about to drop dead. I will post my prologue in a minute and after that I write some more! woo hoo! Anyway....Au Revoir, Adios, and a good morning to you all!
Tis true! I have finished the long awaited synopsis for my Na No Wri Mo novel! *drumroll* And heeerrre It is!:
Synopsis: The Warrior's Secret.
In the land of Vladimria things are changing. The king is suspected of going mad since his late wife's death, the poor people are rebelling, and the kings soldiers, and lords, are continuing to become more and more corrupted; from burning entire towns for no apparent reason, to raiding farms in the name of the king; and for his profit.
But in the midst of this chaos there is a boy who has the power to change it all, for better or for worse, though he may not yet know it.
His name is Demetrius, and after he escapes the destruction of his home, and even death itself, he realizes that he is alone in the world, and his family had perished when his home-town was burned.
Demetrius vows to avenge his family's deaths, which is a vow that may bring him to his self-destruction if he is not careful, but when he is distracted on his quest by an old man lying on the side of the road, a little twist comes along in Demetrius' tale.
When Demetrius rescues the old man he is shocked to find that he is not what he seems. And when the disguise is removed the “old man” is really the famed warrior of old…Teirian.
Teirian senses that Demetrius has a good and loyal heart even if he lusts for revenge. And so he takes him under his wing so to speak, and teaches him how to fight with a sword and bow and arrow, and how to travel stealthily, how to determine the weather, and time, how to hunt, and when to fight, all that Demetrius would be a warrior with honor and reputation. And under Teirian’s guidance, and protection, Demetrius flourishes, and grows into a warrior, who is respected and loved by the people.
Unfortunately, after four years have passed, Teirian's strength begins to fail him and within a week he dies, leaving Demetrius, once again alone. But not without a secret he revealed to him.
Just before he dies Teirian tells him of a thing in which all have lost faith, save him. It is the strange belief that a divine being created the world and sent his son to be a prince in northern Vadimria. This prince, as legend goes, scarificed his life for the lives of the people when Vladimria was at war. Because of this self-sacrifice Vladimria was saved and peace was restored although their beloved prince was dead in body. As the story goes on to tell, the prince returns to his Divine father in the skies, and rules alongside him in the invisible realm above. The Father and son, along with the spirit, rule the heavens and the earth, and cause everything to be what it is. Demetrius is intrigued, and he wishes to know more about this strange new belief, so, Teirian, with his dying breath, tells him of a quest which Demetrius must complete if he wishes to know more.
Now that Demetrius, a sixteen year old warrior with no home and no family or friends, is alone again he realizes that he must learn once again to survive on his own in a world where war is brewing.
Forgetting about his quest for the time being, he wants to fight but which side must Demetrius choose? The poor common folk fight for their freedom, but also for revenge. And the King and his men fight for dominion over the world, and the elves remained neutral…For the time being at least.
In the end Demetrius takes the side of the poor because the remembrance of his family renews the passion for revenge in his heart. But there is only one problem, Demetrius has fallen in love with a girl his own age named Karina Stone, who is the sister of his best friend; Azariah Stone. And Karina and her brother both strongly oppose him fighting for the cause of revenge, which they believe is wrong. Demetrius is torn.
As time goes on Demetrius fights for the cause of the poor common folk against the better judgment of Karina and Azariah, and as Demetrius gradually gains the trust and loyalty of the people he eventually becomes their leader. A few weeks later however an old prophet appears in Demetrius’ tent the day before the final battle, and warns Demetrius of his fate, and he also leaves a prophecy telling of his own destruction if does not change his ways…And his heart, and complete the quest that Einar gave him before it is too late.
Will Demetrius discover the Warrior’s secret? Will he complete the quest? Or will he fall into the false belief that revenge will justify his actions?
Meanwhile…Deep within the heart of the Vladimrian forests, the elves are remaining neutral, but they will not last long and so their queen, Brynn, begins to prepare for battle.
As war draws nearer, Brynn’s people are sustained by the hope that the Minotaurs will emerge from hiding, and come to their aid, but the people have forgotten that the Minotaurs fight for no one. But as the people anticipate something that cannot come into being, the fauns and the dwarves have reached an agreement in secrecy. Within the walls of the Gravein Quir a creature is held captive, no one knows what it is or what it can do except the dwarves and the fauns, what they will do with it depends on the elves. But war is only the least of Brynn’s troubles.
Years after her father, and brother’s deaths, a secret about Brynn’s past is unearthed and she finds that her heritage is not what she thinks.
As Vladimria’s skies grow darker with the passing time a spark of hope is lit in the north. Hope is renewed as the Centaurs return from their exile across the sea.
Will the elves aid Demetrius? Or will the stay in hiding until they are killed or driven out? And will Brynn make the right choice? And will she overcome her personal struggle?
Find out when book one, “The Warrior’s Secret” is finis’!
