Sugar Doll Award




Becs from Wicked Ink thought I was
worthy of the Sugar Doll award. I'm not sure why but I'm not questioning it. (Byt the way check her out)

Anyway to claim the award I need to tell you 10 interesting facts about me. Yeah this is going to be hard.

1. I'm incredibly accident prone. Everyday I bump into something, fall or injure myself in some way.

2. Continuing the theme from the last post when I was ten I fell down the stairs and off the 4 foot high landing onto the tile floor. I got two cuts and that was all.

3. I have been cooking for myself, doing my own laundry and generally taking of myself since I was like born. That's what television did to my generation.

4.I have never had any of the common childhood illnesses unless you count the cold. My mom tried very hard for me to get them but I never did. I am afraid for what this means for my future.

5.I read insanely fast. I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 1-2 days.

6.I have an unusual memory. It is both terrible and wonderful at the same time.

7. When I was about 1-3(my mom isn't sure) I watched Jurassic Park and I laughed at the part when the guy got his head bit off. I was a cool kid but a little twisted.

8. I was a really cool baby as previously stated. I could belly dance.

9.I have a paralyzing fear of insects and spiders. The insects I am most afraid of are dragonflies and butterflies. Stupid sticker saying there were Bee butterflies.

10. I either want to live in Dublin, New York or Tokyo when I grow up. I'm a city girl who likes trees.

Now for the re-awarding to five other bloggers:

1.Monica at Hush

2.Nicole at Nothing News

3.Amaya at Chimeran Falls

4.Vital-Organs at A Dabbler's Revenge

5.S.P. at Scrawling on the Walls

My new trying to be steampunk book.

I gotted the block. Over 20,000 words into the Circus and I got stick. So in what will probably turn out to be a bad decision I started one of my other books.

What I think it's going to be about:A country divided into insertnumberhere regions, each using it's own specific power source and all warring. And then a bunch of important people will die and two kids (always) will have to go on a quest. I'm just not sure for what yet.

What I wrote so far:
“Achew” sneezed the man. “May Azrak deliver me form this accursed cold,” he muttered, wiping his nose and handlebrush mustasche. Mist leaked in through the holes in the windowglass creating the effect of clouds lurking in the high ceilings. A lonely fire burned low at his side. Sniffing he continued writing, his quill pen scratching against the parchment.

“Oh how I long for the gas lights of Jakra. And we have paper instead of this cursed parchment,” he lamented.


Tell me if you like it Internet.

Happy V-day

I know it's the 15th Internet but this is something I have to tell you about.

Yesterday was V-day. Not the over commercialized one or the Saint day but the other one. The one against rape and violence against women. It was started my Eve Ensler in the 1990s and now she has included a new book for girls called I am an Emotional creature


To find out more go to v-girls.org or vday.org

Free Barbie!

P.S. I'm going to try to start my secret project today. Might tell you more about it later Internet.

Did I write yesterday?

Yes, yes I did. For the first time in almost two months I worked on my book. I wrote 32 words. Yes I did epically fail. I will try to do better today.

What I wrote yesterday:
"and to make sure all of Loli’s roommates were already dead. She didn’t think she could kill them all and while Loli was sleeping would be the easiest time to kill her."
