LOOK AT THESE CHOPSTICKS!!!!!!!

OK, so, I was going to say that I was going to get to use my chopsticks again today! We picked up these Chinese/Japanese meals for like a dollar each (so we have a LOT), and then I was told I could have one. (YES! SCORE!!) 

And THEN I was looking up pictures of chopsticks and I saw this picture^ and I was like "THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME I WOULD SOOOOOO USE THOSE!!" Aren't they?! What kind of a genius comes up with lightsaber chopsticks?! They're so awesome!!

Anyway, I've been working on this one new story (don't worry, Connie's getting worked on =P Oh! And we finished The Agent Files!!!!!!! :) I'll post it soon.....) called The Polar Vortex (please don't take that name) and it's going really well!! I just got it over 100 pages yesterday, so that's good.... and I know what's going to happen at the end of the book, and what the second book is mostly going to about. And I know who's really a bad guy..... anyway, I don't want to tell you anymore so that when I post it you guys know everything. =)

I don't think I told you guys, but I got a new blog called Heart of a Storyteller Blog Designs. Please go check it out!!!!! It means a lot. :)

Later!!

Love,

Katrina

Hola!

Dear Readers,

I didn't get any name ideas in the last post, but for now, I'm going to call myself Piper. If you guys hate that name or have another name idea, please come and tell me and then I'll consider changing Piper. OK? OK. :)

Sometimes it's so hard to think how to create a story. Know what I mean? Like you have this really great idea, and then you start writing on it, but then nothing ever comes out of it. What are you supposed to do? I've done this lots of times. In fact, a lot of my stories were like this. Even my story Rubberboot Girl kind of happened like that. I had all of these great ideas and then they just got sllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww............... But then one day, I just went on there and started writing again. And then before I knew it, it was finished. Some things just happen like that. Usually what gets old story ideas alive is just more ideas.
As you live life, more ideas just keep on coming. And, some how, you can fit those into those stories that maybe you've put up on the shelf for awhile because they're just not quite right yet. But when you do get them right, they might just be your greatest story yet.

Sometimes it's also kind of hard if you have like several projects going on at one time. At the moment, I have about three to five live projects going on, and then I have those "other" stories that I skip over to if I get really, really bored and I just can't keep myself concentrating on the story that I'm trying to write on. (It's always good to have those kind of stories on hand, that way if you just kind of need a break you can have it and then, when you're back and juiced up, you can get working harder on your story then you ever did before.) And of course I have about several hundred "dead" stories that I probably should at least TRY and work on. But sometimes it's kind of hard.

How was YOUR day?

Love,

Piper

Sometimes, there's no better title for a best than "my life".

 Well, I'm taking on the job designing thingy, so now I'm having to learn to use Wordpress. It's kind of interesting, and sooooo much different than blogger. I keep on getting scared that I might accidently click one of the "pay for this" things and have to pay for something. =P Ah, well, I'll get better. I only started teaching myself today. It's kind of funny. I have all of these winter headers up on all my blogs, and yet the picture that goes with this post is of a girl in fall apparel. That's probably just because I love the picture so much that I just used it. =P I tried it as my profile picture and, nope, didn't quite work. *sigh* I suppose I'll be stuck with the girl on the horse for forever. =D lol I should really start Jessie Bender up again, but she's missing, so I've got to come up with a reason WHY she's missing. You guys are probably like "WHAT?! YOU JUST SENT HER OFF FOR NO REASON!?!?" But really--with a character like Jessie Bender, you're going to want stories about her lots, right? But life's been so busy lately, it's kind of hard. =P I've been starting all of these new stories, too, because the ideas keep on coming. I've got a book going where it's not really even remotely close to the end and I already have over 200 pages. It's about a Chinese Dragonmaster, though not the kind I've explained before. (like on my blog with Alex and Andria.) And that comes to ANOTHER thing. I've been so busy, what about Alex and Andria?! I've really got to work on them... =P By the way, Connie's second story has really gotten dug into, so hopefully I'll be able to finish that soon. I'm really rambling, aren't I? And to make it worse, I haven't made any new paragraphs. :/ I hope you're having a great day!! It's just one of those days that my soul seems to be soaring like an eagle. God bless you all!!!!!! :)

Hey, everybody!! This is Connie.


This is Gavin (Mitchell, if you didn't know)!!


And I'm Tracy, Gavin's awesome twin sister.


And we're here today to talk about a weird spinning lady.


What?! I thought you said the topic could be Star Wars characters.


Well..... we can kind of do that, too. Gavin, you can do an overview of the characters later. For now? Let's get back to the topic of the spinning lady.


Apparently the lady spins in whatever way your mind is going. You know, like right and left. Right being more artistic and left being more..... well, not artistic.


Right. Want to visit it? If you do, please tell us! Just click here. Apparently I'm more right brained!


Aw, I don't know. I can make it switch.


Lucky. I'm still stuck in left.


OK, can we do the Star Wars stuff?


OK, OK, you can introduce them to the main dudes.


Hey, Leia's not a dude!


Relax, bro. 'Member? She hasn't seen the movies.


?!?!


Just do the pictures.


Did I say pictures?


Well, um, kinda yeah.


Let's just not do that. I don't think.........


OK, so there's Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Pewbaccy.


Pewbaccy??


You mean Chewbacca?


Uh, I guess.....


hahahahahaha I can't believe you thought.....!

All: Bye!!!
