Updates!

Because everyone loves a good update!


First off...

OMJ. Script Frenzy is just 28 HOURS AWAY!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I managed to get one of my friends to write with me. She still doesn't know what she's going to do. I'm winging it which won't turn out very well, but at least the first two scenes are kind of plotted out.


Second...


Wow! Almost 500 page views! Last time I looked it was at 498 views. Yeah it's not a lot, but I try. Please subscribe!

Third...

The Night Stalker is nearing the end! After eight months-ish of hard work and determination, I have reached 424 pages and I am about to go into my fourth notebook! Yay!

Right now Gail is just waking up from her cold sleep after almost freezing to death in the hard Montana winter. For about the past five pages, the story has been in the perspective of James, one of Gail's friends. He is in love with her, but she is secretly hung up on Noah after breaking up with him and Gail won't acknowledge the fact that she kind of likes James. She knows he likes her.
They are about half way into January 2019 (A pretty bad winter) and probably will attack in March. So they have a little time for a lot to happen. Some major events WILL take place, but I won't say here because I really don't want to ruin the book for you!

I am planning to be done in the next two months. The summer will be full of editing Night Stalker 1.0 and beginning Night Stalker 2.0. I haven't named the second book yet, but I am thinking about The Night Stalker's Son. It's a little unoriginal, but I kind of like it. If you have any ideas, comment!

I'll try to get more info on 2.0 soon!

Lastly....

A pretty picture to happy-ize the post!

Washington's Secrets

Well with Script Frenzy only like nine days away and my D.C. trip already over with =( I decided that it would be good to actually figure out what my short movie will be about. So I spent a bit of time working on a cover (yeah doesn't help with the plot, but it looks cool) because I am an artsy person=).

Washington's Secrets Cover with my pseudonym

• Main Character
• Joisie (sounds like Jersey with a thick New York accent)
• Played by my best friend VVZ
• A treasure hunt 
• Full of CIA and FBI stuff and agents
• My first actual Script

Washington was amazing and really fun. I got a bunch of pictures and lots of story ideas. My favorite monument was the Washington Monument. About 40% of my pictures somehow include that monument. Sad thing is that I dropped my camera and broke it on my second day there. Be expecting more stories in D.C. !!!!!

You can keep track of my progress here and after April you can view it on inkpop.com!

My new site because I was bored

Its called....

History and Stuff

at

http://oldguysintightpants.blogspot.com/

Nice name, right?

Anyways it is a website of history. I know, so exciting! If I have time, I'll put stuff up.... But, I am booked for the ten years. Must. Get. Sleeeepppp!

400

400 hundred is such a good number. Its so even and round and perfect. You know what I'm talking about????? Just that amazing feeling that you get when you get to 400, say 400 pages. Hmmmm? Thats right I have hit four hundred pages in the Night Stalker!!! Yeah!!

Now I realize that I haven't given a summary of the Night Stalker so you really don't care. Well that might change tonight. Here we go!

On June 19, 2012 the United States of America was attacked and completely destroyed. Six years later millions of people across the world are all running from the same thing- the Alliance. They did what no one thought was possible, total world domination. My name is Gail Thames. I am twenty-one years old. I started the war. And I am the Night Stalker.


Well thats the short summary. 


Basically the Night Stalker is about a girl named Gail. She was the third child in her family and her parents are high up in the military. Her two brothers were kidnapped before she could remember. In two thousand ten, World War Three started. It was the whole world against a military based society called the Alliance head of which is a man named Philip. By 2012, every country but Canada had fallen to the Alliance. Gail's mom had been taken and cities were completely destroyed. By order of the Alliance all weapons and technology was to be turned in. If you didn't, death was the punishment. It was 2013 and over 2 billion people were dead. The Alliance was in complete control.
There were still people fighting. They called themselves The Rebellion and the head of this was called the Prince of Light. In 2014 Gail made a very important decision that would change the world forever. She became the Night Stalker. 


Now when I say Night Stalker I don't mean the serial killer or the TV show (By the Way I didn't know that it was a TV show or a serial killer before a month ago... I don't mean to violate copyright stuff). Sadly the title might change.




Until next time!

Its the Second Most Wonderful Time of The Year!!!

The First would be NaNoWriMo Time, Second is Script Frenzy Time, and Third is well Christmas.

Today's post is about the middle --- Script Frenzy. =) Not as good as NaNo, but still pretty good. It is run by the same people who do NaNoWriMo (Office of Letters and Light). The Website is scriptfrenzy.org. For those who don't know what Script Frenzy is I'll give you a little info.

What? Script Frenzy!
Who? You!
When? The Month of April
Where? On your computer
Why? To become a better writer of course!

Like I said it starts April 1st (No I am not joking =)) and goes til the 30th. The Challenge is to write 100 pages of script whether it be for a play, opera, movie, TV show, comic, ect. in the month of April.

I tried to do it last year, but my poor, poor laptop died a slow painful death. Now as you can see by the colorful print on your screen that I have a new laptop (thanks Dad!) and I am completely ready to take on Script FRENZY!!! Muhahahahahaaaa! Now I just have to think up a few ideas.

Ideas.....
1. Movie script of the Night Stalker (388 pages baby!)
2. Doctor Who Script
3. A movie/ play featuring D.C. (where I am going on a school trip in less then a month) Yay!
4. ..... idk


I'm throwing the gauntlet down. I challenge you to SCRIPT FRENZY!

Come on. Join the Frenzy.

Both images owned by Script Frenzy... I think. =)

Its Valentine's Day! And Poem I wrote for it.

If you are like me and aren't into all that boyfriend girlfriend crap just yet, then you really don't care about today. And being the artsy-fartsy girl I am, I wrote a slightly good poem dishonoring the day. I mean no offense to St. Valentine or anyone else, but I really wanted to put it up.

Its Valentine's Day
Smoochy, Smoochy
Lovey-Dovey
Its just a day 
Get over it. 


Beautiful, I know, right? Anyways have a good day and to see more of my artsy-fartsy stuff go to the LINK!  

Dare You To Move

Okay, so today at school these people, Camfel Productions, came to our school and gave this really awesome presentation. There was Switchfoot, Muse, Harry Potter, To Save a Life - all the stuff that makes life good. =) Anyways about two hours later during English we where asked to write about the movie we saw (which was about standing up for yourself and others and pushing yourself everyday to become the best that you can be). I put mine in the form of an interview. So... here we go.

DARE YOU TO MOVE
An Interview With Miss Liz Beth Cooper

-Will you change from the video?
        -Yes, I think I will. I try to stand up for people at times and other times I just watch and feel bad for them. Because of the movie, I think I will try and stand up for others even more.

-Do you have a connection to the video?
        -I don't know, maybe, I think so. I haven't been bullied much and if I have I say STOP, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU NOW PLEASE GET OUT OF MY FACE AND LEAVE ME ALONE! Well, maybe not like that, but I don't put up with crap like that.

-What do you do when you are scared?
        - I try to face my fears as much as possible. If I am afraid of heights (which I am), I force myself to walk up to the next floor or look over the edge or at the view. Sometimes I realize how beautiful the view actually is.

-How have you overcome fear or when did you have to courage to do something?
         -I have an insane fear of roller coasters. I've only ever gone on three in my entire life. The first time I rode one called the dragon. I had to mentally and physically force myself up the ramp and into the car. In the end it was really kind of fun- scary fun.

-How did watching the video make you feel?
         -Sad, because we can't all get along and accept people for who they are. We are all different and we all have our flaws. That's what makes us human.


Thank you, thank you! Applause! Bravo!

Now, some news on the Night Stalker. I just reached 356 pages and if all goes well I should be at 400 by the end of February. The book is happily nearing the end. I'm just excited because I could be writing the sequel by the start of next school year (Bring it on High School!).

By the middle of March I'm supposed to have written a mystery, a poem or two, and a biography for English class. Not to mention researched and read five books from each of those three genres. I'll take on the challenge. Come on! Bring it!

(Have I ever mentioned? I suck at writing mysteries.)

Bonne Soir!

P.S. I am finally getting around to editing my NaNoNovel, The Thirteenth Games. 50 Pages down. =)
