Oh my gosh guys! It snowed here! For those of you who don't know I live some place where we get snow like once every four years so yeah. It's a very big deal. I wanted to build a snowman but the snow was too powdery so it turned out terrible. It had a big butt and a tiny head. ()
\( )/

That's pretty much what it looked like, that plus mud and gravel. I have discovered that I have high anxiety and I have figured out my phobia. It's stupid and a pain in my butt. I wish I had a normal fear. Spiders. Snakes. Guns. Anything I have a chance to get over. But no. I have the most difficult one to deal with. There is absolutely no way to face it either. It just builds on to itself. Does anyone else have one of those fears? One that you can't really face? I mean arachnophobics will eventually squish a spider. People who fear weapons can hold one and eventually dull the fear. I can't do that and it bugs me. For my fear gives me anxiety which in turn takes my gut and twists it into a knot and gets me so fidgety. It's just a burden I have to tame.
Anyways! I've been out of school for three days because of the sudden snow storm! I'll go back Friday but by then there isn't even a point. Well, today is a perfect day to watch Frozen and sing DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?! But considering I've seen that movie four times I am going to watch the Hunger Games. I've never watched it or read the book because I didn't think I would like it so I'm going to give its movie a chance to change my mind.
Stay beautiful lovies.

Finding Hope
Well, I am almost done with the first book in my trilogy. Bad news is I'm not publishing it for a long long time. There are too many vampire books on the market right now and even though mine is about hunters it doesn't matter. I have ben turned down by literary agents BECAUSE of the genre. So I'll put it aside for sometime in the future when the hype has gone down and I can polish it up correctly.
The first book I wrote and finished was in 8th and it was over 200 pages too. But I wasn't happy with how it ended up and put it to the side as well. Lucky for me though, I have other ideas for books until then.
It does suck. I have spent over a year and a half on this vampire hunting book only to be shot down because vampires are too popular right now. But things happen for a reason. Maybe when I do get it published it'll be big. I just have to believe there is something more than giving up which isn't what I'm doing. I am waiting patiently. Patience is rewarded with time. Eventually. It's just hard holding on to that faith.
Over a year -_- oh well. I'll finish the trilogy and hope by the time I am done the craze will have moved on and I can publish successfully. Cheers to the future.

Remember the Jinxes
Remember where you came from for one day you may need to go back. Remember who your allies are for you will need them one day. Don't forget that family is just blood. Your real family is made of the people you love.
There are so many things we want to forget and so many others we wish we remembered better. But then I think, all of our life's experiences make us into who we are and are going to be. I have had a handful of embarrassing moments and they always reappear in my minds eye to make me feel stupid all over again. Each mistake is a way of learning. I mean, I have been scared of driving since I got my learners permit. Four days after getting my Drivers license I rear ended an undercover cop... now I am even more scare of driving but it helped me. I learned my limits and another "what not to do". But seriously! Out of all the people A COP! Don't worry. There wasn't even a scratch on his car. The worst damage was a chip to my light. Lesson learned though, Jinxes exist. Earlier that day a girl said, "How long have you been driving? Oh yeah, you're going to get into an accident soon." Hours later... I did. If this was the 1700s I would announce her as a witch who cursed me. Of course I am the one of few people who believe in luck and fate. Sometimes one more than the other. It depends on the situation.
Well as you can see my blog is ADD. If I were talking I could stay on topic but since I am writing I cannot. I hope you guys have better experiences than me and that you stay safe. Ask me questions. Comment. Follow. Like. I promise I don't bite. I'm just another teenager trying survive.
By the way- It's not a bad thing to drive like a grandma. Teenagers around my town go too fast and crazy that's how so many die. I'm a grandma driver and anger a lot of the teens at my school for going the speed limit. =)

Bad and Worse
Have you ever had people complain to you non-stop about how bad their life is? I am sorry to say but it gets annoying some times. I mean EVERYONE has been through something and no, we cannot understand everything but that is no reason to say "My life sucks." "I want to die." "You have no idea what my life is like."
No. We don't understand. We cannot begin to comprehend what you have been through but that is no reason for those thoughts! Everyone has SOMETHING to be thankful for. Everyone has SOMETHING to lose. Even if your life is bad it can always get worse. So stop complaining! It is time to realize what you DO have and be thankful for it.
I have had a rough past but I do know what I have to lose. I could lose my family. My family is my friends and the people I live with. I could lose my house. I could lose my future. I KNOW what I have to live for and what to be thankful for but do you?
Food for thought. Just remember the next time you walk up to a friend to complain about how much your life sucks. There is so much more than the past. There is the future.

Anything and Everything
I have finally made it to over 200 pages in my book. I am hoping to finish it soon though I realize now more than a year ago how hard writing a book can actually be. I already finished one novel that is over 200 pages but I didn't like how it ended up and now when I really want to publish this one the writing seems to be harder. Maybe it's because I realize I want to actually be someone and put my work out there for people to enjoy. It's said to get easier as you go but it hasn't. It has done the opposite. I guess I care more about it. I want it to be the definition of perfection though I know that is impossible.
So my novel is the beginning of a trilogy. I have a long way to go but, honestly, I am loving every second of it. Dreaming of people reading it and fangirling over it =D it keeps me happy. The writing is the journey to my destination. Even when I have been rejected by literary agents a bunch of times I still keep faith.
I hope everyone had a fantastic New Years! I pray for everyone to have a blessed 2014. I know I look forward to the things it will bring. Things can always get better but they can always get worse to so be sure to do good things! Karmas a bitch. ;)
CHEERS TO US
AND OUR DREAMS
HERES TO EVERYTHING
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN!
