Fun Friday: Fun stuff!

WORLD-BUILDING! *Splodes*

Ahem. Now, back to your regularly scheduled normal blog post.

I had a lot of fun doing a project today for Kendra503 that will be up on her blog tomorrow. ;) You should all go check it out! Without giving too much away about it, she's doing a character interview of Leah from Marked, one of my WIPs (Work-In-Progress, for those who may not know). Leah is the main star of the book, as it were, and you can get to know more about her tomorrow! I'll post a link that you can go directly to the interview in the comments section as soon as it's up and about! :)

However, the opportunity has once again given me the drive to start world-building for Marked even more than I already have. For those curious to know, world-building is a term that basically means you're creating something. A point of reference is how much detail, time, plot, and thought J. K. Rowling put into the amazing world of Harry Potter. Now that is a perfect example of world-building right there.

I'm also going to be posting... here's hoping ( XP ), on Sunday, the first Lazy Sunday reading. As I explained before, not quite what I was orginally going for, but it's still a little view into the Marked world. Now, if only I could motivate myself to actually write for Marked, then I'd be set. I also didn't really do anything on the 4th other than play video games... |: Very exciting.

So, what did you do for the 4th, if you celebrated it? Light off some fireworks, or watch any of the televised programs? Let me know below!

Update Monday: Way. Too. Hot.

Hey, it may or may not be big news to some of you, but basically the entire west side of the US (where I just happen to be) is facing a huge heat wave at the moment. While the warm weather is nice... when there's tempatures of 120+ in some areas (thankfully not where I am...), I think it's safe to agree it's too hot. The heat is crazy. And it's supposed to go on for 2 whole weeks!

Anyway... I say that a lot, don't I? Anyway. Just a good way to transition, heh. I know you're wondering: "Where's yesterday's post?" Yeah... that didn't happen, again. I have hit the massive rift that is writer's block, and I'm slowly inching my way across. However, I think I figured something out. I will get it out soon, I mean it!

I don't really have a whole lot to say tonight (it's like 10 PM where I am)... I also really don't have plans for the 4th of July either, will probably just stay up and watch fireworks. :P I will have something coming up on Saturday though, thanks to Kendra503 (go visit her!). More details in Friday's blog! ;)

That's it though. Got any plans this summer, or maybe some advice on how to beat this awful heat? Add to the comments!

Fun Friday: Lazy Sunday readings?

So, I've been talking to Kendra503 (<3) about what to else to do on my blog, and kind of came up with something. She suggested that I could do a series of short stories and update it each week. And knowing her, she'll ride me on it. X3

They'll likely range from anything like horror to... maybe... romance. If it doesn't kill me of course. Ugh. I do have an idea for a short sort of 'mini-story' that'll be based off of one of my books, Marked. I know that authors generally do this sort of thing after the fact, but think of this as a short and sweet preview into Marked. The first part should, laziness permitting, be up on Sunday! Also, it's going to involve one of my favorite characters in the book, yay!

Also, I'm sorry I didn't post anything for... like a week. I got lazy. I know that's not a very good excuse though.

But... I did finish my GED! I didn't get quite the score I wanted, and I honestly feel I got a bit cheated on the last test I did, but nothing I can do to change it, sadly. Bridge under the water, I suppose. I've also actually changed my mind about doing a summer term, as I think I should take a break from school at the moment. I'll still have to do everything to get it started for fall, but I can try to get job in the interim. Just got to fill out stupid apps and all that. Fun stuff.

So... I usually like to ask you guys questions here. maybe I'll change it around! Anything you all want to ask me?
