Updates

Hey everyone! I have a few updates today!

1: Turns out, we're not doing the Little Mermaid. It was really going to wear us all out especially as dance just ended and yeah, it was just too much.

2: I'm starting a podcast! Episodes will probably start being released in late June so subscribe here if you want to listen in! I'll post again when each episode is released!

3: Now for the sad news. School is ending soon and I have sooooooooooooooooo much of it. That means I'll be on hiatus until about the third week of June :'(

Love you all

Introducing...........

COLM

Guys, I am sooooooooo excited about this book! I think (think being the key word) that it is going to be really good! Now, let's introduce it!

Cover:

Blurb: (even though it is on the back cover but oh well) (I'll give you the longer blurb as a treat cause I wove y'all :D)

Colm McNulty is fine with the life he has, roaming the land, playing his fiddle, and looking into Rose Kelly's eyes. But his abusive father doesn't feel that way. He forces Colm to America, making him leave everything dear to him behind.

In America, Colm faces hardship and prejudice. When the riots against the Irish workers in New York grow, Colm disappears to the farms in Maine. Even in a rural town, there are still prejudices. Only one farmer offers Colm a job, Brendan Elson. Colm soon finds out that there are a lot of Elson children, and finds himself attracted to the middle girl, Felicity. Felicity has fire in her blood and Colm wonders if he will ever prove himself to her, and everyone else. 

Fun, no?

Genre: Historical Fiction

Time Period: Second Industrial Revolution/End of the 19th century (1891-1896 are the exact years)

Setting: 50 miles north of Dublin; New York; Murray (fictional town) Maine

Characters: 

So Colm is the MC and everything is in his perspective. This is actually going to be something new for me because I tend to switch POV's. 

OH

I FOUND COLM YESTERDAY

I was scrolling for pictures that I did not need for the cover when I found THIS and was like "COLMMMMM"

PRESENTING!

COLM

I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH MY OWN CHARACTER ALRIGHT???

*thinks what else she can say without giving everything away*

YOU KNOW WHAT

LET'S INTRODUCE ANOTHER BOOK OKAY?

So for this one, I've been mostly world-building. And I think I have you give you guys some background info before we continue.

So I've mentioned The Crown of Light and Courage For Those Who Have None. Turns out, they're in a series. WHO KNEW RIGHT??

(ugh *facepalm*)

No judging, Lina. 

Anywho, the names of the books in the series are

1. The Scroll of Wisdom

2. Courage For Those Who Have None

3. The Crown of Light

4. To Those Who Are Faithful

5.  Finding Honor

You don't actually have read them in order (except for The Crown of Light and To Those Who Are Faithful, you have to read those two in order). They mostly give background info on each other. 

Anywho

The one I'm introducing today is The Scroll of Wisdom. This is about how Ilia Coragis became Myragi and Zirrith. 

(like I said, I have basically no plotting done for this because I've been worlding building)

HOLD ON

HOLD YOUR HORSES

THERE'S ONE MORE THING I NEED TO EXPLAIN OR ELSE THERE WILL BE SOME CONFUZZLED PEOPLES

Okay *coughs* so, there were originally 5 kingdoms: Ilia Scriptura, Ilia Corona (previously known as Qiliopie-Doijsu), Ilia Fidelitis, Ilia Coragis, and Ilia Honoribus. They each have one magical item. 

Ilia Scriptura = The Scroll of Wisdom

Ilia Corona = The Crown of Light

Ilia Fidelitis = The Ring of Faith

Ilia Coragis = The Courage Stone

Ilia Honoribus = The Key of Honor

NOW WE CAN GO ON

Blurb: 

Prince Kile of Ilia Scriptura knows that he won't be king, that boring job is left to his older brother. He leads a life of frivolity. But when his brother can't read the Scroll of Wisdom, and he can, everything changes. Suddenly, Kile is expected to sit in councils and be responsible. When he accidentally stops Ilia Fidelitis from plunging into a civil war, Ilia Coragis asks for his help. But they have a different type of unrest.

Characters:

Yeah

I can't tell you much about these characters yet.

BUT

BUT

BUT

I MADE THOSE CHARACTER AVATAR THINGIES THAT CATHERINE DOES

OF COURSE I WILL SHARE THEM

Cipta and Kile

Delia and Alem

Lilia and Xander

Masca and Yohn

Nadine, Zyne, and Jacus

Natha and Rowan

 Qilia and Rothan 

(PRETEND ROTHAN HAS HUGE, GORGEOUS WINGS OKAY??)

Yulia and Zephr

Zelia and Zoe

AND YES I WILL EXPLAIN WHO EVERYONE IS

Cipta = The original Crown Prince of Ilia Scriptura

Kile = The new Crown Prince of Ilia Scriptura

Delia = The ambassador from Ilia Fidelitis

Alem = The other ambassador from Ilia Fidelitis

Lilia =  One of the revolution leaders (which revolution? I will not say) (I HAVE TO WITHHOLD SOME INFO FROM Y'ALL)

Xander = The other revolution leader, Lilia's brother

Masca = The Woodwoman advisor to Ilia Scriptura

Yohn = The Crown Prince of Ilia Coragis

Nadine = One of Kile's friends when he leads a life of frivolity

Zyne = One of Kile's friends when he leads a life of frivolity

Jacus = One of Kile's friends when he leads a life of frivolity

Natha = Queen of Ilia Scriptura

Rowan = King of Ilia Scriptura

Qilia = The "Queen" of the Sprites

Rothan = The Fairy advisor to Ilia Scriptura 

Yulia = Queen of Ilia Coragis

Zephr = King of Ilia Coragis 

Zelia = One of the twin princesses of Ilia Coragis

Zoe = The other twin princess of Ilia Coragis

So, I hope you all enjoyed all the goodies I gave you guys today! See you soon!!

Anyways...............

I asked for "Would I rather" questions a while ago and I got them (I even got two real questions!!)

Maura:

Would you rather rule the world as a figurehead or be the one doing the ruling and watching the figurehead get credit for it?

Answer: 

I would rather do the ruling and watch the figurehead get the credit because I could do "horrible" things and not get blamed

(I'm impressed with that evilness)

Why thank you, Lina

Joy @ The Pen Or Sword: 

Would you rather be trapped in a room with snakes or spiders?

Answer:

REALLY JOY

REALLY??

So there are snakes

and then there are spiders

As long as the spiders aren't as large as Shelob I pick spiders

BECAUSE I CAN CRUSH THEM

MovieCritic @ Movies Meet Their Match:

1: Would you rather be in a movie, or write a book?
2: Would you rather never watch Mulan again, or Les Mis? (Mwa ha ha...)
3: Would you rather ice skate or ski?

Answer: 

1: WRITE A BOOK

2: ..................................................................................................SERIOUSLY?????? Um......um.....um......(*five million years later*).....um....I guess I would rather never watch Les Mis again because honestly

MULAN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER

3: Ice skate

(btw, I would die in both of them :P)

Because I can go through them faster and books are one of my favorite things IN. THE. WORLD.

Sarah @ The Life of a Homeschooler and His Voice Is Sweet: 

1: Would you rather vacation relaxing on a sunny beach or hiking in the wooded mountains?
2: Would you rather jump into and live in a book world or movie world? What book or movie would you pick?

Answers:

1: Hm......on a sunny beach. Because I hiked for 12 hours while in Mexico

Lemme tell you

Towards the end

2: Would you rather be able to see 10 minutes into your own future or 10 minutes into the future of anyone but yourself?
3: Would you rather be famous when you are alive and forgotten when you die or unknown when you are alive but famous after you die?
4: Would you rather be alone for the rest of your life or always be surrounded by annoying people?
5: Would you rather be the first person to explore a planet or be the inventor of a drug that cures a deadly disease?

Answer:

1: Considering the fact that every picture I've taken is awful.....I would rather lose them all :P

2: I think my future

3: Famous after I die

4: OH GOSH

REALLY BECCA???

UM

NO

I RATHER BE ALONE

THEN I CAN READ, WRITE, AND WATCH MOVIES

I am not the "space-faring" type....

And then Gray Marie @ Writing is Life asked me two questions:

What is your favorite dessert?

What are your favorite types of scenes to write?

Answer:

My favorite desert.....

THIS CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE I MAKE

OR MY MOM'S CHOCOLATE CAKE THAT IS. THE. BEST. THING. IN. THE. WORLD.

My favorite scenes to write are banter :PP

We have reached the end of this post

It was a lot of fun to write

and I really want to thank of ALL of you for being here this whole year and reading my rambling, fangirling, and just plain randomness.

Love you guys!!

I think (maybe) I was cast as one of them because I made them laugh during the audition

Anywho

This will be a brand new experience for me so yeeeeeeeeep

And here are the Seagull songs!

(I had actually planned for a longer post but I had to go to the dentist and ran out of time.........)
