Hello everyone! As you can see by the title of this post, I adopted a cat! I've been planning on getting one for a while now, because I wanted a larger animal of my own that I can take with me when I go away to a four year college once I get my associates…
As I promised, I bought a friend for Tibby! I decided to vlog the whole thing, and I'm so glad I did. Tibby's reaction was absolutely hilarious! Check it out here, or head over to my new YouTube channel 'Whistle Pigs.' I'm also still deciding on a name for guinea pig #2, so I'd love…
So my Mom, Lucas, Amelia and I were out yesterday grocery shopping, and I told my Mom that I wanted to get a betta fish. I've been asking to get a small pet for years, but I've only ever been allowed fish. When I was eight I had a rabbit (Princess Selenia), and since I…
I haven't posted in a while because I've been juggling multiple projects, ranging from writing a new novel to making two movies (a live-action as well as a 3D animation). Not to mention recovering from my recent bunion surgery (I got my stitches out a few days ago, but my toes aren't weight bearing yet).…
So I must admit that I received way less entries than the last writing contest I hosted here on Writers BloK. In fact... there were no entries this time. Everyone's been a bit busy I guess, and I did have a few people tell me (both through Writers BloK and email) that they wanted to enter but…
If you didn't know, yesterday was the first the day of Camp Nanowrimo, the spring version of the National Novel Writing Month challenge. If you haven't started the challenge yet, don't worry! It's never too late to start- as long as April isn't over when you read this, of course. Without Nanowrimo, I would probably…
Chapter Ten Katniss leaves the cave, and I lay alone in the darkness thinking about… thinking about everything. There’s not a single thought that I go over in my brain, but a series of several thoughts. How can I pick one? Everything is so overwhelming, so confusing, so perfectly perfect while also dreadfully dreadful. My…
Chapter Seven Cato leaves me for dead, and as time melts away I begin to wish that he’d just finished the job. I lay in the clearing for who knows how long, sure that I’ll be gone any moment. I can almost hear the cannon, my cannon, ringing in my ears. Finally I decide that…
Chapter Four As the sun rises, the birds and other forest creatures spring to life. Our footsteps through the forest are joined by the soft song of the birds, the screaming of squirrels when we pass their trees, and the occasional snake slithering through the brush. “I’m hungry,” Glimmer whines, and all five of us…
Chapter Two “They don’t have much of a selection this year, do they?” Glimmer remarks as she rummages through the cornucopia. I’ve learned that she’s the most talkative of the careers; her mouth runs incessantly and no one can make it stop. Marvel looks up from a bag of fruit strips, which he’s found a…
