Plots and Seams

Last December, a few of my friends and I decided that we were going to cosplay to see The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. We got to the theater a few hours early, so we stood out in the foyer for a while. We got many funny looks and several people commented on our costumes  :) It was tons of fun!! Hobbit Elf- Tauriel Elf Don't we look very middle-earthy with our 3-D glasses? :)

It's been two months since I published The Shards of Ailevon and I've sold ten copies!!!! It may not seem like much, but to me it's pretty exciting!! In honor of this momentous occasion, I though I would share with you the program I used to write it.  One Year Adventure Novel . At a home school conference, a few years back, my dad found this program and pointed it out to me. I had written a couple short stories and enjoyed it, so he thought I might like this program. He was right!! Though the program was designed for the novel to only take one year to write, it took me two years. Editing took longer than I thought it would  :-/  Oh well, it's published! :) For the fantasy that I am writing this year, I am using the second year program, Other Worlds . I am not following it exactly, it's like what Barbossa would say:     Oh, and as an update on my fantasy, I have over 15,000 words written, so I'm halfway through the first draft!!!
