On the eve of insanity..........

I start my insane project tomorrow and the normal feelings of nervousness is grabbing my gut! I am scared I won't make it and if I don't make it then I have to bake my friend Reagan 3 homemade chocolate cakes from scratch. Do you think she'll notice if I make it from a box?? 


I'm going to get ice cream with my friends tomorrow... if I do well in the morning then I will get a bigger ice cream tomorrow! I hope to get to 2000 words by tomorrow night. I'll update tomorrow with word count and news.

My new obsession........

Okay people... I'm going to report my dirty little secret to you.... over the last few days I have become addicted to......... The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. Thay may not be the best written, they may have some groaners in terms of the humor but these books are AMAZING!!! I am seriously in love with Simon and if Clary doesn't take him I will be happy to have him! I love these books because of the good premise (Faeries, Warlocks, and Demons Oh My!) And the characters shout out to, Clary, Simon, Maia, Isabelle, Magnus, and Alec! For all you people who haven't read it, go out and read!!!! I will do a formal write up of these books soon.

In other news, the newest Sep Heap book, Darke, has just arrived on my doorstep. I will have more news soon people!!

I must be crazy!!

Many people (?) may or may have not heard of the NaNoWriMo or the National Novel Writing month. This event, where many writers take on the challenge of writing a 50,000 word Novel in 30 days,  normally takes place in November but I am doing a June 10th through July 10th one. So starting on June 10th I am going to blog about it. Please check by here for my KtNoWriMo. (Katie Novel Writing Month) If it goes well then I might do it in November

To start.....

Okay, I've never done this before. I apologize ahead of time if there are spelling errors and stuff. To start off, I have a serious reading problem, like I'm currently going through a book in 1-3 days. I'm just going talk about books I've read and stuff. Warning: I might rant quite a bit :). 


Current Book: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Impressions: Good but a bit slow. I can see that he got paid by the word for this.


Most Recently Read Book: Child of The Dark Prophecy by T.A Barron
Impressions: WOW! His writing has improved so much since the Lost Years of Merlin series. There was like no descriptions of trees down to the tiniest detail. This book had much more action and plotting than the earlier series. In terms of characters I didn't like Elli as much, the entire book I was like, Elli, I know you've been a slave and that your parents are dead and stuff, but do you have to take it out on everybody??? Tamwyn was ok but seriously reminded me of Merlin a lot. Scree didn't have enough screen time to really develop as a character. The Bad Guy felt really kind a la little kids movie, you know kind of flat and evil 'cause they want to be...... 
I have some rants on the original series's first book. WARNING THERE MAY BE SPOILIERS AHEAD First off, Emrys's/Merlin's blindness... if your going to give him a magical second sight, why blind him in the first place? All you devoted fans of the series, I know there's a reason later in the books but for now it is just annoying. Also, his second sight was very changable, he'd say it was unreliable and them move on to describe, in minute detail, a nearby tree. I don't know, it just bugged me :(. Also the great Starwars moment towards the end felt really silly because the chick he was hangin' with was his sister and by this point it feels like a carbon copy. I was kind of expecting Stagmar (That's his name, right?) to slice off Merlin's hand.


Mood: Curious about blogging :)
