Plotting, thinking, creating…

It’s hard to plot. I don’t like using online plot generators because the ideas they give are so far different than what I want to write. And the title! I still haven’t figured out the title. I might be lazy and just use Fantasy Gathering but it might be safer to name it “Fantasy Gathering […]

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

Yay! I didn’t think I’d ever finish this book. To start off with – I didn’t… really… like the book. My sister bought a box of books and while sifting through them all, the quote on the cover caught my attention. “The captivating novel of a boy’s magical summer.” It made me remember movies like […]

NaNoWriMo

Every time November comes rolling into the picture, a lot of excitement grows around NaNoWriMo. I always get a little curious about joining but then I tell myself that I’d write a chapter or two and lose interest. It’s also intimidating to read comments where people say that writing 50,000 words is pretty easy. It […]

Everything was perfect. The full moon shone brightly overhead, illuminating the dark woods with a silvery blue hue. Caspar went down to one knee and carefully laid down a handkerchief. He smoothed it out over the grass and squinted to make sure he didn’t smudge any of the markings. Unable to see so well, he […]

My father actually spotted this book at some random yardsale one weekend and gave it to me as a surprise. I remember my first reaction was that I loved the dragon […]

Not quite October just yet but since when does that matter? I gave this movie a chance when I found out that Anna Paquin was in it (TrueBlood, anyone? Good series!) This movie was pretty darn cool. It had that whole Creepshow feeling to it except the stories mingled a bit. It was fun and […]

Beast Legends – Smok

avatar

You know, I didn’t really intend on making a comment on every episode but with this episode focused on the development of a fire breathing dragon, I just had to say something! This episode, the team decided to focus on a story in Poland about a dragon named Smok that was killed and his bones […]

Excellent practice.

With the harmony charms tucked in a small leather pouch and safely deposited in his pants pocket, Sajon grabbed the crinkled note from his desk and bid farewell to Caspar on his way out. A quick glance to the crisp blue sky told him that the weather was going to be nice today. “Wait! Master!” […]
