Cyborg Boy

Hey guys!!!! It's been a long time . . . I'm so sorry, so so sorry. I'm VERY forgetful, I'm sure you've noticed . . . anyway. I've had this boy stuck in my mind for weeks! He doesn't have a name, but he sure does have personality. A big flirt, too. He's a cyborg, so I just call him cyborg boy. He's really mischievous and . . . charming you could say. Very intelligent, but he doesn't acknowledge it much . . . what with all the flirting and humor to bury all the sadness. That's all in going to tell you . . . for now! So . . . that's all I've really got! I'll have something better next week UNTIL NEXT TIME!

Jessamine Winters

So I started a drawing last night. And I finished it today. It was supposed to be India, one of my many charries, but it ended up becoming Jessamine. Read the dialogue on the side if you so choose, but it's not that important. I just thought I'd put it there so I wouldn't forget.


I also drew another version before this one. This one has dialogue too. I don't know what it is about Jess. She just demands dialogue.


I also don't know what it is about sweetheart necklines. They demand to be drawn. Anyway. There you go. A post. I actually remembered to post. I think I deserve a celebratory root beer float.

Agents of Secret Stuff

So there I was. Roaming the interwebs. And I found the funniest video I've seen all day. It's hilarious.
I love it. It's just so funny! It does swear a little, but . . . well . . . that's kind of inevitable.
Anyway. I just wanted to share that. Bye now!

We're Going to Pretend, Alright?

We're gonna pretend that it's not Saturday, it's Friday. Okay? Good. Let's continue.
So NaNoWriMo has ended meaning that Jo and I are back to post again!!!! YAY!!! And we're going to try a different posting schedule. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will post on Friday, Jo on Saturday, both of us on Sunday.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, NOVEL STUFF! So I finished NaNoWriMo! Yay!!! Here's my cover:

Isn't it beautiful?! Someone on NaNo made it for me, and I love it so much. It's gorgeous. Now onto the summary and then an excerpt!

Summary: In 7624 people live on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. And they've developed a slight mutation. A mutation that gives them psychic abilities, but half of the people here don't have any powers. The Psychics, as they call themselves, take over. Then 15 year old Sebastian Robinson discovers that he's actually immune to the Psychic's abilities and the rebellion begins. 12 years later the rebellion is still going, and the Psychics are determined to keep it from becoming 13 years. And they'll do anything to stop it.

Excerpt: 
“Stop it! I didn’t do anything!”
This girl was a little lacking in the brain department. Or maybe she was just nuts. It could go either way really. Her name was Gabriella Steed and she was the doctor of the Psychics. Or, according to Sebastian, Zaria, and Mariella that’s who she was.
“We’re not going to hurt you,” Jackson promised. He seemed to be the only one talking to her. I was just sitting there dumbly, Henry seemed to be looking at her almost hopefully, Meredith seemed a bit shocked, Samuel was frowning at her, Ruth was quietly watching, and Sebastian, Zaria, and Mariella were just looking at her coldly. They didn’t like to admit it, but they were so similar. At least, outwardly.
“You took me! How can I trust you?!” she screamed. Then Mariella stepped forward and put her elbows on the table as she leaned forward.
“I’m going to put this very simply, okay? So listen carefully.” Mariella had this talent where she could make anyone feel very, very, stupid.
The girl nodded quickly. She looked so scared.
“We don’t know what happened, but we didn’t take you. We’re not evil. I don’t care what stupid stuff the Psychics told you about us, but we’re not evil. We saved you. So we just want you to tell us what the heck happened,” she said slowly.
The girl shook her head and Mariella bit her lip hard.
“What happened?” she asked, her voice growing hard. As smart as Mariella was, talking to people was not her fine point. And all she was doing now was scaring this girl. Mariella was already pretty scary. With her icy cold blue eyes and her steely exterior.
The girl looked away, shaking. I gently tapped Mariella’s arm before moving so that I was right in front of the girl.
“I promise, we’re not going to hurt you. But we need to know what happened so we can help you,” I said soothingly. She looked up at me, but then her eyes caught on Henry who was standing behind me.
“Rosemary,” she whispered.
I didn’t have to turn around to know that Henry was freaking out a bit now. Rosemary was his little sister and he was very protective of her. He would do pretty much anything for her.
“What about her?” I asked.
“It was her.”
“What did she do?”
“She took me here.”
I glanced up at everyone and was about to go tell everyone to question everyone guarding our many exits and entrances, but then she spoke again.
“Celia too.” I froze. Celia was my twin sister.

So yeah! That excerpt was from chapter three, and it also belongs to me, as does everything else {the cover and summary}, so no stealing, kay? Kay. Bye now!
