May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour!

Ok, so I know I am probably just like way behind, but I just found out that they are making a movie for The Hunger Games book! When I found that out I literally just sat there and stared at my computer screen for several minutes in surprise, and then I ran out to share the info with the rest of the family! Over half of them couldn't care less, but Dakota came running back to the computer with me and we began looking up everything about it, cast, release date, trailers, etc. We were ecstatic!

Here is the trailer we found...


Hope everyone is as excited as we are!

My Dad

Okay, so my dad is one of my characters in my story, but for a long time he was just... there. He has been a hard one to write or imagine, because I know him so well, but he really wanted to be one of my characters. He has always been into mountain men and cowboys, but I was really having trouble with the "mountain man" look that he said that he would like. But I am proud to say, I have at last solved that problem!

Now this may come as somewhat of a surprise, but, my dad is now half dwarven, which explains the "mountain man" look.

And so, my dad has gone from this...

To this...

See the resemblance ;-)
Needless to say, my dad loves the transformation.

Atokad & Soryn

No, I haven't died, I'm right here. Life has been kind of hectic since my return home from Portland a couple of weeks ago. My sister, ShawNee was in the hospital for several days with Pneumonia, (She is better now), and I have had to do a lot of catching up around the house and at the Bookstore.

So, beings that Monday's are our days off, I had a little spare time today. Unfortunately, not enough to write, but with the little pieces of time all through the day I used our photo program, and was able to piece together a nice screen-saver for my computer.

I used two of my favorite characters from my story, and put them on an autumn background, that also happens to be a place in my story near where I am currently writing!

And so, without further ado, I give you, Soryn and Atokad!

Peter Pevensie is not exactly how I imagine Atokad, but it is the closest I could find. Soryn just happens to be my favorite character in my whole story! I used to like them all kind of the same, but as I continue to develop my characters, I have begun to choose favorites, and less favorites. Soryn is my absolute favorite.
