Welcome to my new blog! This is where I will post updates, progress or any rants I may have during writing my first book, and hopefully, more to come. I am not sure 100% what my title will be, but East of the Equator is sticking. Now, you may be saying -
'"What on earth is this person thinking? East of the Equator? Is she nuts? There is no East, only North and South!"
Logically, you are right. However, I am a fantasy writer. There is no limits to fantasy!
I will not say too much of the book as I am writing it, but I shall have some characters and a few little details. If you wish to know more than I write here, then...
Wait until it is finished!
I know it will take a while, but I am a little secretive about the story. It is my very first book and I want the experience to be extraordinary!
The following will be included in my blog:
Emotions - how I feel about what I have written for that day
Chapters - Whenever I finish a chapter, I will add that, or when I finish or edit a chapter.
Characters - When I add new characters and I particularly like their personality (or their name) I will post a little bit about them. I will not add their use in the story unless it is insignificant. I will say if it is a more of a main character or a lesser character.
Anniversaries - Pointless? Yes. Cheesy? Most definitely. I know it is stupid, but I will occasionally have 'a week since I began' or 'a month' or even 'a year' celebratory post. That way I can look back and say, "Oh yes, that was such a happy day for me!" or whatever.
Procrastination - On days I am not writing and I should be, I might add excuses and reasons why I was not sitting at my computer or scribbling notes down in my many notebooks. It may be excusable things or inexcusable things - Such as reading, watching TV, or games.
Other? - Things I post that have absolutely nothing to do with my story or whatnot and I feel like adding it, I will. I do not like rules, I may follow them, but I want freedom!
Wait wait wait... I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Holly Ellysha Holbrook and I am a 16-year-old writer. The reason I didn't fully introduce myself in the beginning was because I didnt want people to think, 'Oh, she's only 16. She isn't serious about writing...' because you would be wrong. I love writing and I cannot imagine having any other job. A side job too, of course, but you get the idea.
I live in a little wee unknown village in Wisconsin and I love it. It's small and secluded, with the occational dog barking and lawnmowing, but those sounds are nice. I was raised by both parents, my mom and my dad, and I grew up with my younger sibling. Her name is Mackenzie, but we call her Mikki.
I also have 5 pets - 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have a Bichon Frise by the name of Ozzy and a tiny runt Shih Tzu named Toby. They get along so well, they are adorable! For fun, we say their real names are Ozwald and Tobias. For cats, we have a Calico (getting old, sadly) called Gypsy. She is my sister's, but mom and I are the onle ones she likes. She loves being petted and is the 'Queen' of the house. Simba, the next one, is a Himmalayan and shares the same birthday as his mommy - Me! He is sickly, but one of the sweetest cats I know. He enjoys sitting... Like a human! Well almost, but it's very funny to see. Then comes Bailey. She will always have that 'kitten' look to her. I dont think that is uncommon for striped barn cats. She is a cuddler and very naughty. She knows she can get away with anything because my mother spoils her.
How's that for my first post? Anyway, I should start writing now, eh?
Cheers!
