Oh, the agony... piles of math and stacks of French, lists of science and pages of art, not to mention incredibly long papers of English. Here I am, having to do stats and learn greetings, all at the same time re-writing the end of a book and wishing I had more time to work on all the projects I wished I was doing, such as documenting all my ideas for books and then writing them, plus cooking and hanging with my friends. Yet here I am, slaving over projects that are due in two days, that would have been month-long 'huge assignments' in middle school. Not to mention the math work that continues to pile higher. Ickyness.
All the things I could be doing, and I'm doing homework. What a sad life I lead. The worst of it is... some of the homework, I don't even mind! I like the art and writing, and learning French is cool, but the math and and Biology just feels too much like busywork, you know? I ought to take that time to learn how to scuba dive or something! Maybe service or extra scripture reading. I could be righteous! Well... more righteous than I already am, of course.
So I've started this new book. I love how I call it a project... haha:) But it looks like it's gonna be really cool. It's set really far back in time, before the dinosaurs, even. It's fantasy/adventure, obviously, and about this girl who's a servant, but her earliest memories are of being a princess. Included in the plot are dragons, bandits, three quarreling kingdoms called Guddar, Amphamaz, and Jaggdron, friendship, and a touch of love, just to make it a little more interesting.
I'm super excited about the names I've come up with for my characters, so indulge me while I list them off to you.
Sparrow a.k.a. Vox: Main Character
Adaz: Sparrow's dad
Miriax: Sparrow's mom
Kyle: a Warlock Sparrow was close to
John: leader of a group of bandits
Vak: (boy) an experianced bandit
Tera: (girl) an experianced bandit
Aric: (boy) an experianced bandit
Agur-Tarresh: (boy) an experianced bandit
Aalyckxandarr: (boy) an experianced bandit
Qiv: (girl) bandit, Sparrow's best friend
Zeke: bandit, Qiv's closest guy friend
Bryer: bandit
Neddy: bandit
Ben: bandit
Zane: (boy) bandit
Taral: (boy) bandit
Ally: young girl bandit
Clearly there are a lot of bandits. They're going to be important to the story, though. It's gonna be epic.
There's also some royalty, and I won't be specific, but some of their names are Amaly, Edvark, Zara, Vaxit, Nedam, and Vanil. I was going to name Vanil Vanity... but I figured that would be a little odd.
So that's one of my current works in progress. Of course there's a whole ginormous list of other ones... including, but not limited to, Emotion, my story, High School Wars (one that I'm co-authoring with two of my friends), and Guardian. So keep posted... I'll post random updates as well as blurbs on my random carzy life.

Just Me Again...
I mean, who else would it be? I don't let any other people be authors on my blog... they might say things I don't want them to. I have many secrets that would prove my eternal embarassment if they were to be revealed.
So, here's the update on the life of Alyce Thacker:
School is pretty cool. I have a good day (odd days, or black days) and a bad day (even days, or gold days). On my good days I go to Graphic Design, Biology, English, and Art. I call it my 'art day' because literally, that's almost what it is. I love it! Biology is boring, but Zierenburg is cool, so I don't mind it much. Bad days are a whole other deal - the schedule is seminary, French, Algebra, and AP Geography. Don't get me wrong, I love seminary, but I feel really disorganized in that class right now. French is super boring. We're just learning the geography (booooring!). Algebra is ridonkulous. We're learning Stats, for heaven's sake! I'm so confuzzled, and I'm just praying that I'll be able to do my homework. AP Geography is crazy - my comic relief class of the year, but one that's going to be in the top two hardest classes.
That's the low-down on my schedule. Fun, isn't it? That's sort of a sarcastic comment... but I am really loving my art classes.
So me and a couple of my bestest friends in the whole wide world have decided to co-author a book. It's about a group of spies from all over the world who are sent to a high school in the United States to spy on the principal, who is believed to be in the Mafia. My character is British, Helen's is French, and Phebe's is Japanese. Their names, respectively, are Luna, Renee, and Katomi. The other spies - hmm. Their names escape me at the moment. Wait! Jackson, Leif, John, and Skye - all boys. I think there were a few others, but I can't remember them at this particular moment. Anyway... it's going to be epic.
Speaking of epic! So Helen and I came up with this super epic idea for an April Fool's joke (or just any old trick any old day). It goes like this... a fake wedding! Wouldn't that be sweet? Then it'd get interrupted in the middle and dissipate. It would be so funny!
Pfft. If Nickleback's Rockstar is an accurate representation of what rockstars are, I never want to be one or even associate with one. Ew.
I love my super random thought process. Don't you? It's pretty great. Just like randomly, I'm like, oh, and I remember this, and this song, which reminds me of this guy, who did this, which makes me think of the Goth kid in Biology class, which makes me think of Halloween, which reminds me of Noah, and thinking of him reminds me of Helen, and that makes me think of this kid who likes her and she likes him and they'd be dating if they were sixteen...
Anyway.
So I've been Picniking like mad, and I've come up with some seriously cool photos. Check these out:
I think that one looks really fancy. And I really like this one and its quote from Kamakaze:
It's pretty awesome.
Now... I think I've just about typed the longest post I ever have... I hope you're not bored to death. I just like to write, and when people are reading what I'm writing, it makes it even better. It's like I'm mentally preparing myself for when my works will be available to the whole world... *shivers* That's a scary thought.
