I'm Back! With A Character Study!

Hi, guys! Sorry for not posting in, well, a long time! You know how it goes when you get grounded from the computer, you don't have time to let anyone know, so yeah, sorry for that  ;)

Anyway, I got this awesome idea from my dearest friend, Bree, and I really wanted to do it. However, you should know this is NOT for my wanna-be debut novel- Friends, Far Away, and an Emerald Orb, it is for a school project I am working on.
In my creative writing class we have to write a novel, yup, a novel, in one semester. I am having fun with it, and guess what, I am considering that I may actually try to get it published! I have already written the first... um, twenty-two pages, precise, and forward, and it has been a blast!

You want to see it? Here you go!

~We He Stay Strong, Or Learn To Let Go?~

…In Chiluli, We Find Thomas- a little boy who made a big impact…

In Chiluli, a small town in the middle of, well, nowhere, we find a little boy named Thomas Michael Daily.

  While Thomas battles one of the hardest situations anyone can face at the tender age of eleven, he finds time, love, and happiness for others. One day, he writes a note. He scribbles a little address on it, not knowing where it will be going, and sends it in the mail that very same day. 

The next day, he receives a letter from a little girl, his same age, that will change his life forever. 

Thomas finds himself in a bind when his circumstances suddenly become significantly worse, and he find himself in a battle for life. Will he be able to stay strong for his new found friend, or will he have to learn to let go in the process of doing good?

So, what do you think?

And here is the character study, 1. to help me get to know my characters more. 2. to help you get to know my characters more.

Thomas Michael Daily

 Thomas is an eleven year old boy with a big heart. At his young age, he reaches out a little girl, his same age, with the same situation as himself, and helps her threw by a simple, "It will be okay." whenever she needs him too.When his life is going crazy with his life-threatening problem, he makes time for others, and find a way to do good even when his life seems like its ending.

Bailee-Kate Madison Martin

 Bailee is a sweet, loving, gorgeous girl with a big imagination and a love for adventure, just as her sisters.  However, at the mere age of ten she is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness that will change her life forever. Then, she meets her best friend threw a mere letter, at the tender age of eleven. Even when life is up and down, all over the place, she is able to reach out to her best friend even when things are at the most difficult point.

Kate Daily

 Kate Daily is Thomas' loving older sister who only wants the best for Thomas. She has a big smile, and an even bigger heart when she finds out Thomas isn't well. Her passion is for art and fashion.

Jonny Mae and Belle Anna Martin

 Twins, Jonny Mae and Belle Anna are the sweet hearted sisters of Bailee. They enjoy adventures and can sometime be a little pesky at times, who isn't at the little age of seven. but Bailee will always love them, not matter what. 

Coconut 

 Coconut is the ever so special gift Thomas receives from his fellow friend. He is always there for Thomas and is his doorway to talking with God.

So, what do you think about that? Let me know, leave a comment! I would love your support and/or ideas and thoughts!

An Enchanting Story

Have you ever watched a movie, read a book, or listened to a song, and it just- did something. You could never really explain it, or, for that matter, comprehend it, you just knew that it moved you in some way that was unimaginable.

I have, there was song, a movie, and a book (actually a series) that moved me in that way, but I will only make quick mention of the song and the series, because the main reason for this post was to talk a little bit o' 'bout my all time favorite movie. (oh! and the song is Beloved by Tenth Avenue North, and the series is The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis)

Before I introduce the movie, I would like to state a couple of touching quotes that I will forever remember from the movie:

A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing.

Brother to brother, yours in life and death.

I want to marry you. Not your crown, not your army. Just you.

Only fools dream of the one thing they can’t have.

and finally, the last quote I will tell you, my absolute favorite...

There was once a man that loved you too much to change you.

Have you guessed the movie yet?

If you have not seen it, I shall think not. However, if you have, it is easily remembered.

The move is The First Knight.

The First Knight is a movie full of enchantment and an enchanted love, and it inspired me to be a better person. 

Whether or not your favorite character is King Authur, Queen Guinevere, Lancelot, Malagant (and I will feel so dreadfully sorry for you if heSir Agravaine  is your favorite), or  Sir Agravaine, the enchanting story of love will draw you in from the very beginning.


If you haven't seen the First Knight, it is a must see, and can be found on amazon for as little as $8.99!!!

[my mind has been mixed!]

YIKES! the third post today.... AHH

However... this is totally worth it!
"What can be worth a third blog post today?" you ask...
well... when my mind has been mixed...


Lately, my dear friend (not just in the blogging world... she and her sister, Elizabeth, started me on this blogging journey...), Bree, and Ara, have been re-writing their books. Hearing this caused me to think a little about the plot and story line of mine... and now... well, my mind has been mixed, and mixed and mixed.  I am sure you all know what this means...

I am officially re-writing my novel, Friends, Far Away, and an Emerald Orb. 

Shocker... I know. Especially to Bree and Elizabeth... who have read the first draft of my book and know what the story line and the flow is...

No one can stop me! Not even my dearest friends... not even my parents... not even my brothers or my sisters... no one... so don't try tomorrow, Bree and Elizabeth... :)

[my novel... and on another note...]

Sorry for not posting in a while. As most of you know, my cousin, Boston-Carter died two on January 23, 2011, and I have been in most emotion as of the last couple weeks.


Aside that, some of you know of the working on my first novel, Friends, Far Away, and an Emerald Orb, and I am here to give you a little update on the coming of that.


My Novel:


Word Count: remins unknown as of the moment (the computer I am typing it up on won't restart!)
Page Count: 15
Chapter Count: just finished chapter 3  :)


Well, my mom and I are just about to sit in her cozy bed together alone and watch Full House, what a classic! So I really need to go  :)

['if I find in myself...]

desires in which nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was not made for this world."
- C.S. Lewis

This is the way I have been feeling lately. "that I was not made for here," those words are simply magical, aren't they? When you think of yourself... in this world... and being made for another world, its just sickening. I mean, if we are not made for this world, it means that we are made for another, doesn't it? And if we are made for another world, then that means that somehow we must get there. Whether its through the back of a wardrobe or through a picture, we know we will somehow get there, won't we?


If you ruled a magical land of your own, what would be in it, that is, if you could choose. Would there be lions like Aslan? Would there be evils like the White Witch? Would there be fawns and talking animals? Hmm...? Difficult isn't it?


If I owned a land of my own, there would be dragons, and secret islands, magical "going-up" waterfalls, and bright blue skies as far as the eye could see. There would be talking creatures, and evils of every kind. The trees would dance and talk just as the humans in our world, the flowers would smell like anything you wished them to and there would be no electronics or unhealthy "nowaday" items. 


My world wouldn't be perfect, nothing is, except for Jesus. 


If we all joined together and used our imaginations that so many people reject these days because the "Barney days" are through and made fun of so easily, and made up a world where nothing could stop us, we could have super powers and we could work together to make a better place. 


Now, if you had the power to create your own world and help our world be a better place, would you?
