Music, Mystery, Middle Earth, and Mitochondria

Greetings, all! Welp. I guess I got roped into WIP Joy. *sighs* I was going to write about Defying Apples, but that is not entirely ready yet…so you get to read about Mission: Metal. Yay!!! XD Enjoy! (P.S. I am not doing all the questions. That would take WAY too long.) 1.        Describe yourself and your WIP! Describing myself is incredibly hard. Reserved, unemotional, geeky, insane (ok, not literally), and always brimming with new ideas. Wearing pretty much only black, silver\grey, blue, deep red, and green. Listening to music, writing, watching movies, and practicing martial arts. Hanging upside down off of trees, explaining the science behind electricity to my one-year-old brother, reading late into the night. Raising dragons. Playing the violin. Being weird. Role playing. My WIP takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Shae and Archer Lia are fighting the Four Brothers to protect their family and community. If they lose against the enemy, the peo

Greetings, all! I enjoy making picture collages, and I thought I would share a few with you. :-) DISCLAMER: These pictures in the collages are not my own and I do not take credit for any of them except the fourth one. I did take that picture. :-) I did create the collages however. Please give credit where credit is due.  This is an aesthetic I made for myself. It’s based on things I like and my personality. Here is one I made for Princess Leia from Star Wars: Tauriel is one of my FAVORITE fictional characters of all times, so I made one for her. This was based off a random spurt of inspiration that came into my mind one afternoon. Here is one for the women in some of my favorite fandoms: My newest collage is an aesthetic for Malcolm, my superhero kid from my new WIP, Defying Apples. Soooooo...let's talk! Do any of you enjoy making picture collages? Do you have any ideas of collages for me to make? Please tell me in the co

Greetings, all! I got tagged again! Thanks, Ral. *begins evil plotting for revenge…* ;-)  Rules:  Nil. NO RULES I LOVE NO RULES (well in tags not in every day life) okay, let’s write. 1. What's a strange thing you do while writing? Um…well…sometimes I eat lunch while I write. Don’t know if that counts as strange or not…:-Z 2. Any funny writing stories? If so, please share. I’m new at this whole writing regularly thing, so, nope. I will let you know if I ever do, though. 3.  What's one of the worst things you've written? Please share When I was little, I wrote about a group of siblings that solve a mystery about a will in their attic. It was called The Mystery of the Missing Will. It was quite terrible, as I go back and look at it. Geez. 4.  If you could meet /any/ one of your OC's which one would you meet and why? (Double question: P) Double question! Um, probably Liam from my Mission: Metal because he could teach me so

Greetings, all! I HAVE A NEW WIP!!! How exciting is that!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This idea came to me last week during swim lessons, and it was SO GREAT that I decided right then and there to write a short novella about it. I can’t tell you a whole lot about it (as that would spoil it all, and you don’t want that), but I can introduce the characters and some ideas on what to expect… So, here goes! Malcolm Newton Greyson is a 15-year-old kid living in the fairly quiet city of Boise, Idaho. He lives in a boy’s boarding school, as his parents are no longer living. He is a genius at science, history, and math; and is a terrible artist. His MBTI is ENTP. Dr. Aiden Jeyle is a well-known scienist living in the same city as Malcolm. He is attempting to create an invention to manipulate gravity. He is incredibly skilled in science and math, as well as an acomplished musician. He hates heights, and his personality type is INTJ. What are you going to read about in my new WIP? Wel

Greetings, all! I have decided to write a post on my WIP: Mission: Metal. Guess I didn’t realize how hard that would be. Oh, well; I’ll just go ahead and write the post. I’m bored anyway (which doesn’t happen very often). Mission: Metal is a blog story I am writing. It started out as a story about a family who saves the world from a tyrannical leader who plans on blowing up what’s left of humanity. Ok, yeah; that’s not what it’s about now. Now it is a complicated story about families banding together. About trust and betrayal. About memories. About gangs. About fear. About death. I don’t really know where it’s going now. I’m sure God does. It is the first long story that I have actually written with surprising plots and complete character lists. I’m so excited about it!!! Anyway, here are some snippets. I am not good with choosing snippets; I either want to tell the whole story or not tell it at all. I found a few however, that I like. Enjoy! * Grumbl

Greetings, all! I know I have a music video page, but this song is just so beautiful that I felt it needed it's own post. :-) ;-) This is Something Wild, by Lindsey Stirling and Andrew McMahon and it's featured in the movie Pete's Dragon. It's my new favorite song! XD  Let me know if you like it, too! Namarie! ~Middle Earth Musician~ (aka MEM)

Greetings, all! I FINISHED AND WON CAMP NANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s official. I am so excited! XD Camp Nano was SO MUCH FUN. I’ve never actually been this resolute about my writing before. Earlier, it had been just something that I sat down to do every once in a while, when I felt like it. Now, I edit. I rewrite. I critique. I post my work on blogs. I even have a Pinterest board for my characters! At Camp, I found out what WIP meant. What MC meant. I discovered deadlines, word counts, word warring (I lost, but it was still fun, Jess;), and writer’s block. Some highlights of Camp: ~I got invited into Jane’s cabin, The Fellowship of the Keyboards. ~Sarah\Slisby and Jess broke the cabin. XD That was funny. ~Jane forbade us from RPing in the camp grounds. ~I ate Jane’s pizza and got turned into an orc (No, seriously. What did you put in that pizza, Jane?). ~Tes\Quinley and I walked the forests of

Greetings, all! Yay, I'm so excited! My first tag!!! I don't quite know if I'm doing this right... XD Thank you, Kendra Lynne, @ https://talesfromanidealist.wordpress , for tagging me! Ok, on with the post. :-P 1~ What is something that helps you write? This includes food, drinks, music, volume level, etc. Um, well...I like silence unless I know exactly what I am going to say. Then I like loud music; preferably Lindsey Stirling or Piano Guys. ;-) I also enjoy chewing gum while I write. 2~ What is the hardest point in a story to write? (beginning, middle, near-end, end) End for me. Definitely. I hate finishing up a story. Same with a book. :-( 3~ Have you ever been angry with someone and made them into a character in your story? (likely a villain) No. I'm too nice (not) :-P. My villain in my WIP is based off of me (heehee). So, actually, I guess you could say I did. Myself!!! 4~ What is the worst writing advice you’ve ever heard? How would yo
