December 5, 2011 Updates

Been a while! I'll update for both my and my sister's sake. Of course, if you want more details about my sis, you can just go to her blog, of course. SO!! As of today, I am on page 264, and my sister is pretty close to that as well. And... I have to do other stuff, so I guess I'll have update later! Ciao

November 17, 2011 Updates

I haven't done this for a while, it appears. Well, today I typed up 15 pages in my WOC book. I'm on page 209 currently, with almost exactly 65,000 words. Belinda has already finished the NaNoWriMo challenge, having over 53,000 words. More specifically, she finished Part 1 and is working on Part 2. She did well. In RoPT, I wrote a few pages in my notebook. Not too much. Otherwise, I haven't done much else. Rather busy these days... more later.

Right now, I'm working on editing ROI. I'm cutting out some parts and adding some other parts in that will hopefully contribute to the main theme of the story.

October 7, 2011 Updates

Well, I finished writing the short stories in the appendix of the Revealing of the Identities book (ROI for short). As of now, it is 269 pages long. I also wrote an Author's note.

In Winds of Change, I am typing up new sections and whatnot. It is 177 pages as of now, and still growing. I'm trying to work out the chapter breaks and such, since I didn't do that in my iPod. Oh, I forgot to mention that I transferred all the data in my iPod to a jumpdrive, so I now know how long my book was. Surprisingly, I had written over 150 pages in my iPod. Much longer than I thought it would be! Anyway, so I'm working on that nowadays. I haven't exactly been working on Reflections of Passing Time... it doesn't quite interest me as WOC. Well, that's it for now.

August 22, 2011 Updates

Well, I did a quick read-through of my entire book today. I also wrote an Introduction and started making my Appendix. In my Appendix, I'll be having a short story about two of my characters in my book, an epilogue, some notes, maybe an Author's Note, and other stuff. Hm... I don't have anything to report, so I guess that will be it for today. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, school started today, so I'll be busy in the meanwhile. Today just happened to be a not-so-busy day because... well, it's the first day of school. More later.

YAHHHHHH!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOO!!!!! YIPPPPEEEE!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

I finished typing my book (the Revealing of the Identities). :). My deadline was the by the end of summer, and summer ends today. I'm SO proud of myself. For the next step, I will be revising, editing, writing and introduction, epilogue, author's notes, or whatever I need to do. It'll be a long process, I'm sure, but I'm ready to TACKLE it! School starts tomorrow, so I'll be BUSY, busy, busy. It'll update soon.

August 12, 2011 Updates

Recently, the main two things I have been working on is finish typing Revealing of the Identities and writing Winds of Change. The typing part is a rather tedious job. I still have over a hundred pages. I believe when I type of Winds of Change, I will be formatting it in the way Belinda is formatting her Conflicts in Time novel. My older brother Philip is drawing a map of our world. Nice of him. Freddy attempted the first time. Divrhy ended up as Dmitri Mendeleas (sp?). And Minas Tiras covers the middle of the map, and it will take it over eventually. Because Divrhy is so far away from MTeTaS, it won't be on Philip's map. It is also the largest kingdom. More updates in the future!

July 18, 2011 Updates

I haven't written much recently. Some family friends have arrived recently. Overall, I am writing on my iPod, and as I mentioned before, it is hard to determine how much I actually have written. Well, that's about it for now. Hm...I don't even know who I'm talking to. I only have two followers, and neither are commenting, not that I care much. Oh well. Whoever is reading this, I hope you are sort of reading my posts once in a while. More later.

July 10, 2011 Updates

Well, things are becoming interesting. I am writing Reflections of Passing Time as well as its sequel Winds of Change at the same time. Considering that I haven't finished the fourth book, it may sound strange.

Reminder: In the sequel As Time Goes On..., the book order is:

1. Conflicts in Time (B)

2. As a Spy Scout (B)

3. [The] Revealing of the Identities (A)

4. [The] Reflections of Passing Time (A)

5. Of Greater Aeronia (B)

6. Winds of Change (A)

I might want to mention that the fifth and sixth books are occurring at the same time, except

Of Greater Aeronia is about M--, T--, Ta--, "the --", etc, whereas Winds of Change is about the Ph-- Gr-- and F--, U-- Gr-- and F--, etc. (I don't want to give the kingdom names/places away yet.)

The B and A after the books can tell you who wrote them. I wrote (or am writing) the third, fourth, and sixth.

So, I started writing Winds of Change in Taipei, Taiwan, without the access of notebooks or computers. Therefore, I was writing it in the notes app. in my iPod touch. In conclusion, I don't know how much I have written (as in, I don't know how much 'pages' I have written). Until I transfer all the typing stuff onto paper, I won't know how much I have written.

I only wrote a few pages of my second book in Taiwan (we were there for a month...). So I don't need to mention much about it...

Well, that's about it.

June 4, 2011 Updates

Well, I haven't started doing anything since the last post until today. In my 2nd book, I am on page 72. I only wrote a page :(

Typing up my 2nd book, I have typed 6 more pages, I think.

For the Future Stuff thing, I am almost done with all the names except for one, unless I am going to add more later on.

That's about it, actually. Tomorrow I am going to Taiwan, so I most likely won't be able to type much unless I have a LOT of free time. I might write some in my book, though. I'm sorry for not keeping up, my amazing fans out there! (If I have any that is...)

May 10, 2011 Update

Well, I haven't been writing much, partially becasue of laziness and partially because I have other things that take away my time doing so. if you were wondering, whoever is reading this, I am on page 69 in my book, The Reflections of Passing Time. Not too bad, I suppose. I haven't been typing up my first novel however, which I should start doing for future uses. That's about it.

April 17, 2011

Well... I haven't been doing much lately... I worote about half a page in three weeks... yipee. Oh well. I'm trying to get back to it, but my mind is getting rather blank on what to write about... That's about it really. A short while ago, I typed up a few more pages, just so you know. I'll post in a few weeks most likely.

March 25, 2011 Updates

I have typed up 106 pages and still have to type up more than 200 most likely!! In writing, I am on page 39. Yay. Right now, we are finding people to help publish Belinda's book, Conflicts in Time. Already, we have an idea of who our book designer will be. Some family friend in TaiWan in finding others such as publishers for us, I believe. We're pretty excited! That's about it!

March 3, 2011 Updates

I have typed up 47 pages and am working on the 48th for The Revealing of the Identities. For The Reflections of Passing Time, I am writing page 26, near the bottom of it. That's about it. I haven't been able to write/type much because I am rather busy with school and extracurricular activities.

Excerpts from The Revealing of the Identities

Well... here goes. The quotes end when there is a number, which indicates where the specific quote can be found in my book. All of the quotes are either said by, to, or about my main character, Erik. Enjoy!

Pretend as you read, there is intense music in the background, getting more and more intense as you read to the bottom. :)

"Zephr has a successor? Who?" 18

"Don't worry. You know me." 72

"Are you underestimating me?"

"Perhaps." 197

"Everyone sees me as young, but I may be the strongest and most experienced person alive right now. Everyone doubts me, but you know I'm speaking the truth." 58

"I heard there is a very skilled bandit who is the successor. Is that true?"

"Yes."

"Apparently, he is good with weapons."

"Supposedly."

"So is the bandit leader a mass murderer, or does he send others to do his work?"

"He sends others?"

"So does he send his successor."

"Yes."

"Does the successor enjoy killing people?"

Erik said nothing. 232

He wasn't known as a deadly killer/assassin for nothing. Because that was who he was. A killer. 82

"But I'll tell you this- I'm a bandit. I chose for this to happen. And this is how it's going to be. I'm just making the best of it." 112

"How come no one knows about his?"

"...[I]t's slowly spreading. Soon it will be out." 221

Erik isn't the deadly assassin everyone thought him to be. He has a secret life in the forest.121

"I am from a lost kingdom."

"Lost from the world or lost to you?"

"Both and neither." 231

"I don't know, Erik, this whole business of yours is going to cost your life someday."

"Sure. Thanks for telling me." 111-12

"What are you doing! Do you not realize who you are hurting?"

"Some stupid bandit kid."

"You thought wrong. He is no bandit." 104

"I helped you escape by not killing you. I could have killed both you and your brother, but I didn't. You're welcome." 227

"He doesn't live as only a killer, I'm pretty sure. There is something else that keeps him going."

"And what is that?"

"I don't know." 124

"When it comes to Erik...you have to be more prepared than that. He kills-that's what he does. He's dangerous." 59

"Hey, you."

"I have a name, you know, and it definitely isn't 'you'." 154

"Everyone, well, almost everyone, sees me as a killer, and frankly, I'd prefer it that way. I like having a secret life that barely no one knows about." 170

This is only the beginning. 245

Updates February 13, 2011

I am in the middle of page seventeen in the Reflections of Passing Time. I finished the character page before. I have 65 characters. Belinda has 102 characters (Wow!). Also, I have decided to do a planning sheet for the novel, like Belinda used to do in her As Time Goes On... novel, which is actually going to turn into a long appendix, not a book. So is A General Named Cilin. So, there are only three actual books in the series. Belinda and I are going to create a few appendixes, sort of styled like the Lord of the Rings, where there are short stories at the end of part six that help the story in whole. That's all for now!

Oh, I'm trying to type up my other novel, the Revealing of the Identities. It's a long process, typing up 245 pages. I am on page 25ish, almost 30. I won't be able to finish it for a while since I am writing and typing at the same time.

January 31, 2011

Yesterday, I finished the character list (exactly 65 characters) and a page of writing. Today, I have written some more; right now, I am on page four. There's some improvement! I think the title is going to be The Reflections of Passing Time or something like that. Sound interesting?
By the way, Belinda finished Part One of her Conflicts in Time book. She has just finished the character list for Part Two. (There's only going to be Two parts to it, unlike As Time Goes On... which has Six).
This is the order for the Pendecardiel series, as we call it right now. We're (Belinda and I) are probably going to give it an official name sometime or later.
1. A General Named Cilin
2. As Time Goes On...
3. Conflicts in Time
4. the Revealing of the Identities
5. the Reflections of Passing Time (or whatever the title is going to be).
Pretty good, huh? Personally, the two best are Conflicts in Time and the Revealing of the Identities, in my opinion. Belinda is going to go back and revise As Time Goes On.
So yah! Maybe someday, you'll see the names Belinda Marrisa S. Sora and Amanda Louis S. Sora on the cover of books, and you'll be able to read them. If you don't like them, that's okay. When they get published, please feel free to pick it up and read it!

January 29, 2011 Updates

Done!!! Success!!! I have competed The Revealing of the Identites!!! In my little red book, I have written 38 pages. (Note: In the little book, I write so small that one page in the little book is equivalent to once paged typed on computer. Impressive, huh?)
I'm so HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!!
DONE!
YAY FOR ME!
Now I have to just type it all up...over 250 pages...
OH WELL!
I'm SO EXCITED!

Updates January 11, 2011

Well, I momentarily am not writing in my spiral green notebook (I was on page 27, I believe). Instead, I am continuing my Revealing of the Identities book in a small red notebook. I am on page 11 currently and am reaching an interesting point in my story.
