My Life

So basically my life is pretty crazy right now. Lots of stuff has been happening that's pretty crazy, like, I'm going to be a freshie next year! I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday that I started middle school... what a sappy thing to say. But let me say I won't miss middle school. Some of the teachers I will miss, and I'll never forget all the crazy memories I made. But I'm so glad to be out of there and heading into high school. I can't wait! But at the same time I'm scared sick.

Along with that, I'm trying to make something out of my life (which might seem weird at this young age but I feel like I should try to do something rather than just like, party). Basically, that means I spend hours on end typing and typing and typing on the stories I'm writing. There's two really big ones right now - one I've finished and am editing, and the other one a work in progress. It's pretty cool. I'm totally psyched for this new story. I haven't been this excited about a new idea since my first story, which is by far my favorite of all the ones I've ever tried to write, have written, or am working on. But this new one, called Emotion, is turning out to be a close second.

My first book, which I'm calling My Story (although I may change that later), is about this girl named Max who is basically the leader of this group of people called Mythics. They're trying to stop the world from basically coming to a dreadful and painful and abrupt end. She has to deal with a bunch of crap and betrayal and demons - it's awesome. If you're reading this you should read it when it gets published. It's really cool. Right now my bestie is the only person besides me who's read it, and she thinks it's the next world-wide best seller (which is cool, but I seriously doubt it's going to be that popular). I'll cross my fingers, right? We'll see. First I have to get it published, lol.

Then the other book, Emotion, is awesomeness. It's about this JD named Shadow (her name is actually Sierra, but she goes by Shadow) who can taste emotions. Her best friend, Jade, can see emotions. That was way fun to describe, by the way. There's this whole group of people who can sense emotion in some way like that. Like, some can taste it, some can see it, some can hear it, some can feel it, and others can smell it. Shadow and her group of friends don't like what's going on with these people and they try to get out and stuff it's sooooo cool. You should read this one when it's published, too.

Anyway, besides writing, I like to read - fantasy, mainly. I also enjoy drawing and am going to take some classes so maybe, someday, I can illustrate my own novels. I know most novels don't have pictures, but some of the things I'm trying to describe just need a little help, you know? I can't get everything down perfectly in words. Eventually I want a movie made out of some of my books...

I love how, for me, everything comes back to writing. It's so important to me. All except, maybe, my future job, which is animation. At least, that's the direction I'm heading. I've got my school classes all lined up so I can get into BYU and maybe work for Pixar someday. I think that would be the coolest thing. And it's another reasson I'm taking drawing classes. I need to know how to draw so I can create the images you see when you watch movies. So that completely packs my school schedule for the next four years. With all the art and digital design classes, I have next to no time for anything else, so I'm going to be taking several classes online and early-morning seminary for half a year one year. All the other classes like singing and band and stuff are just totally pushed aside. It's sad; I'd like to do some of that stuff, but sometimes you have to sacrifice to get what you really want, right?

Other than that, my life is pretty boring. Like most of you out there, I've got irritating siblings and annoying parents. There's church and school and parties and music and writing and boys and every other crazy thing I've tried to pack into my life, including this blog. I decided to make one 'cause when I'm a famous author I want one. Just because. I think it'll be cool for fans to come here and read about what I'm working on, what's happening in my life, which seems weird, but what the heck, right? I think it'll be fun for random people to know that I like Owl City's music and the Artemis Fowl books... whatever.

Now that I've blogged my brains out and irritated the heck out of my sister (I'm on the family computer and she wants on) I think I'll go type on Emotion some. Thanks for being crazy enough to read this!
