Yep, that made sense, but that wouldn't work with what I have planned. The real life is in the future, and she is a totally different person, and she wants to live in a Victorian life, so she goes in the pod, forgets her life, and the pod, and lives there, and then she gets out somehow, and sshe gets far away from the pod, and she wakes up on a beach, and thinks she's been shipwreaked, and slowly she starts to remember as she lives in this place that is the kingdom of her stepdad. Yep.

So at first she thinks she's in a foreign country, then?

Yep. I'm thinking maybe she went on a little boat trip, the weather goes bad, and the next thing she knows, she's on a beach or something, and what she doesn't know and will graducally learn is that she got out of the pod  |

Yeah! Now I just need to really understand the characters so I can know how they'd react with what I throw at them so I can know the plot |

ok Came up with a new plot for a series: Status: Dead. And in that, sparked a series for me, titles of Status: Dead, Status: Lifeless, Status: Living, But Not For Long, Status: Dying, Status: Born, Status: Living a Full Life. And I came up with this little summary. Hope you guys like it. What’s your status? You know, the little barcode on your arm that tells people what you are, who you are, and most importantly, how long you’re going to live. Ever try to extend the time you have? Don’t. You’ll just bring around the Changers, and they’ll bring about a permanent early retirement. |

It's so interesting though...It reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

No, not too much...It's just having the barcodes...I'm trying to remember-Oh! Right! It's Left Behind, a series about the end of the world. There's a small part in the Bible that mentions it; you need to have the barcodes to buy things and stuff. Well, not barcodes. A sign. It's weird

1. Write more then 86k for here, edit all those spelling things still, and type up Forsaken Vows some more for my sake of mind
2. Work on Bong Girl: A group of guys who grew up together go to college where they end up dating countless girls. The thing is once the girl is with one guy (and they sleep together) she seems to end up dating one more of his friends. The guys refer to these girls as bong girls. Reason why is because they hit it and pass it to their friend just like they would a bong (they were all pot heads) There were lots of drama considering that some of the girls went back to the former fling. Got about 300 words, but that's some work!
3. Come up with more plots for adopted titles (Still not done this)
4. write 5 poems for wriye again Just forgot to post them, opps!
6. I want to get around 10k on all the WIP's that I have open.
6.a.I want to finish at least 1 of my WIP's.
seven. I want to have a good start to April Fools
8. I want to do another resume, since I haven't replaced the one that I lost when I lost my memory in June.
9. I want to get to 40 Joinees on CC There are over 40! WHOO!
9. a. I want to spruce up CC more, get more things going, get Joinees back on
10. I want to finish plotting IFTDS, and start writing it.
11. I want to write chapter 3 of my BYB book
12. I want to read more books-finish at least 20 wrimo novels, not including chapters-since I have a lot of them to do -I finished maybe one, I think. I don't remember, I must keep track!
I need to remember these goals more. Opps. Striked out ones are ones that I finished. Unstriked, well, didn't finish. Oh, well. Here is goals for May:
1. Write more then 86k for here, edit all those spelling things still, and type up Forsaken Vows some more
2. Work on Killer Road Trip: MC is a thirteen year old (undiagnosed/diagnosed) psychopath who is kidnapped for ransom- and they go on a car trip from the police to their safe house where they can hide from the law. The MC doesn't really care, since she felt bored anyway, so she went along with her three kidnappers, which she deems Idiot 1, 2, and 3. Idiot 1 is the worrying, serious criminal who is always anxious about being caught, Idiot 2 is the seemingly carefree junky who finds humor in everything, Idiot 3 is seemingly a dud with no personality who sleeps all the time- but turns out to be a professional gunman and very serious criminal. Most of the story is the trip and the cunning used by the MC to assist the three kidnappers in getting out of touchy situations. But eventually the MC tires of them and decides to head home. Through a good amount of cunning, she sets them up to be killed one by one- going by number 1, 2, and 3. Idiot 3 ends up being the hardest challenge, but in the end it becomes apparent that Idiot 3 does have at least somewhat of a heart while the psychopathic MC has none, and he is killed off. The story would end with the MC leaving a message on her home phone saying "I'm done here, and I'm on my way home." (isn't this the perfect book to do in my birthday month?)

Well, as you guys might have noticed, I was gone for almost a week. There's a good reason behind this-I was in New York, on band tour! It was really amazing, and I had a ton of fun, and the days just went by sooo fast! For a quick summary, here's what happened each day Saturday the Seventh: get up at 6, be at airport hour later, bought a book there (Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin), then leave at 9 am Calgary time. Get to NY at 5 pm, NY time, and go to Heartland and Bewywer, I think it was, bar, underneath the Empire State Building, and that was ok, but there wasn't very good lighting, and there were all these posters that were beer products, products of the US, BUT...THEY HAD ICONS OF OTHER COUNTRIES, like there was a Canada one with a Mounty that said it was Canadian beer. I DISLIKE THE POSTER! MAD AT IT!!!!!! Then we went up the empire state building, did a virtual tour of the city, got a purse/bag, and then we went to the 80th floor, I believe it was, and looked out at nighttime NY, and it was pretty cool. Then we went to hotel, and went to sleep. Sunday, we went on the bus, and were showed a lot of cool places in the Upper East and West side, and the the lower half, and such, There was a lot of walking, and each day, when we got back to the hotel, my feet really hurt, and it wasn't fun the next mornings. We had lunch at the seaport district, and I ate with a good deal of the chaperores, since I didn't have a "buddy". Then for supper, we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, and then went shopping in Times Square, got a shirt at AEO, and a skirt at Forever 21. Yep. Monday was the day of our first concert, and it was at this outdoor place, with a foutain, and Julliard was on 1 side. IT WAS FREAKING HOT OUT!!!! Plus we were in our band uniforms, which are evil, they are about 30 years old, and they have shoulder pads, for goodness sakes! My feet were cooking alive!!! And then the wind was blowing, which you'd think would be a good thing, but no, it had to blow our music all over the place. And then we were done, and then were going to Julliard (after having bagged lunchs) and as we were walking, a lady was talking, and then somehow, as I was walking, I didn't notice the stairs, and so my foot was in the air, and then it landed badly, and then my lower back hit the stairs. Not fun. Both still hurt from time to time, but they are better. I don't know how to classify the ankle, I could move it, and it hurt a bit, but it didn't swell, at least, I didn't notice any. I think I streched a few tendons in my foot, or something. Yep. Then we had a tour of Julliard, and then we went this one street that was really nice, and such, and wacky, and pretty cheap, and had supper there, and I was with Raven (trumpet) , Zach (bass guitar), and Josh (flute) and we did some shopping, I got 2 books (Room by Emma Donaghue, and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak) and a CD, Lines, Vines, and Trying TImes by the Jonas Brothers, and a NY umbrella. Then we went shopping as Macys, and I didn't get anything. Yep. Tuesday, we played at a school in Harlem, and that was a bit better since it was inside, but the stage was very small, and very cramped. Not fun. Then we had free time, we could either shop at Times Square, or Macys, and I went to Macys, and then got Tom (trumpet sectional leader) to come with me to buy books with me at Borders. I got 10 books: Divergent by Veronica Roth (Finished this on the airplane ride home) Across the Universe by Beth Revis (finished that the next day) The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter (finished this on the airplane ride home) Falling Under by Gwen Hayes, (finished Friday) Abandon by Meg Cabot (Finished friday) --> these 5 books I hadn't read before, and the next 5 I already have read them, Vanished book 2 by Meg Cabot, Graceling and Fire by Kristin Cashore, Brisingr by Chrisopher Paolini, and Knight of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor, AKA Sherrilyn Kenyon. I had 8 other books in the pile to get, but I ran out of money  And I didn't even pick out all the ones that I wanted! Then we were late, and missed the first course at Planet Hollywood, then we split into 2 groups, one to see Memphis (was the smaller group) and Wicked (bigger group, and I saw this) Wicked was really great, but there were some times were I couldn't understand what they were singing, and that wasn't fun Then we went back to the hotel. Wednesday, we saw had a behind the scenes explaining Wicked, and then we went to NBC studios, and saw some of those sets, like Saturday Night Live, and such. Then we had a bit of a tour of Harlem, but I went to sleep around after we visited the masoluem? of this guy who was the 14th prez. of the US, and his wife. I blame it on having little sleep in the past week, and getting used to NY time. Then we had dinnner at JR (all I remember is the initals) and I ate too much, even though I only had a chicken thingy, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, half a peach, and 2 slices of pinapple, plus homemade limonade, but yeah. Then we went to the Apollo theatre, and watched Amature night. I had a headache, and it was very loud. Not fun. But then I was made to leave after they annonced who got 1st, since the last adult in my group (all the others had left during intermission) left, so I had to go, and then we waited till the show ended, and the other groups came back to the bus. Thursday, we did a boat tour around Manhattan, and I finished a library book and started Divergent (I read 3 books that day, and I could've read 4) and then we went shopping in Chinatown, then we went to the airport (Newark) and then I bought 3 books (Broken by Karen Slaughter, Chasing the Night by Iris Johansen, and Dreams of a dark Warrior by Kresley Cole) and then we went on airplane and came home. All in all, good books, and very busy. It was very fun! You guys should go to NY if you haven't already! |

Yeah, it was! And that sucks! Wearing shoulder pads once every 4 months is torture, but every school day would be evil!
