Whew, I think I'm nearly ready.

That was a lot of work! I copied down several names and authors of book on ancient China. Mainly Beijjing.
Oh, yes, I've decided to use that Feng novel for this years NaNoWriMo novel. It's set as stone, it is!
She also has a last name; Song. The novel will likely be called "Feng Song" if I can't think of anything else.
The plot... it's still up in the air, alas, but I'll work it out.
I just got the NaNoWriMo profile back onto this new computer and I'm planning on using it later on, but now my rear is becoming numb from sitting in this computer chair for so long.
Ah, T.M.I.. Logging off! I've got to practice piano. By the way, I'm doing pretty well and I'm planning on composing some things I've been longing to for... years. If you, too, should like to learn then, we'll see about passing over the music sheets... but not now. I'm not quite there yet. I'm still a beginner...

More gunshots this morning! (Harthun just won't give it a rest, already!)

What's new?

I picked "Bamboran Rains" back up again after doing a brief editing session. It's going quite well.
I'm almost back to the point in chapter four of "Lirin Bahonan: Rising Rage" that I previously erased on accident and I'm getting a better idea of what the novel with Feng in it is going to be about. I still don't know if this one or the sequel to the script I wrote is gonna be this year's NaNoWriMo novel... I'm thinking it's going to be the one with Feng in it, though, because the other one is extremely long and I know it pretty much by heart so I can write it anytime.
But I still need to pick back up on "The Dawnwolf"...

*I sure did have a tough time trying to long on today. Blogger was being weird and not recognizing my user name...

Wolf

A note to my best friend: The other day, I heard gunshots. No, really. I thought it was fireworks, but apparently it was gunshots. I think someone was hunting. It was Harthun going after Lirin, think. XD Ouch!

Happy *Belated* Fall!

Yeah, well, anyway, I just started that novel with Mr. Shay in it. It's called "Midnight the Wolf-Dog".
Oh, yeah...
I know not many have seen my blog, but can anyone tell me what some good, easy-to-use video-making programs are? Perhaps one where you can add sound files for voice-overs?
I'm going to probably try and master Microsoft Paint for the artwork, but mostly, I need a video-making program that you can add sound files to...
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to making movies, but, ah, I'll learn if I try...
What about Windows Movie maker, though... I guess I'll have to inspect it thoroughly and take tutorials, perhaps...
A little off topic...
I wanted to try and get good at Blender, but I need this thing called Cobra-something... well, never mind that, then!
Off to work!

Okay.

Its time to pick back up on Rising Rage, and start the new novel with Mr. Shay in it...
But there's NaNoWriMo in November, so that adds to my pile of work...
Well, it's more than a month away. I've still got time to prepare. I need to fill out what happens after what in the novel, though, because there needs to be more than just bringing peace among Fawnui and Eldorin...
Ah, well.
That Mr. Shay story will be pretty short since it's not official. XD

Well, maybe later today or tomorrow I might have something particularly exciting to say for myself...

Different NaNoNovel...

I'm thinking over a new idea I have. It's set in ancient China and the Main Character is FEMALE!!! :O YAY!
Her name is Feng, but I don't have a last name for her...
Anyway, she has an ability to switch from human to wolf, which the Emperors don't know about and she isn't quite sure she wants to tell them.
I'm not quite certain of the plot, but that's just the basics.
Anyway, Feng is pretty nice, and the is very patient and smiles a lot. She doesn't really have any past regrets since her childhood was pretty good.
Alas...
I need to go look up more on ancient China, and I'm not used to writing in our world...
Ah, well. XD Homeschool!
Anyway! I'm certain I'll do a good job and not overdo it like everyone else seems to... that I've read about.

A Path over a Bog

"This path... every step is different along the way. Some of it is fairly firm ground, some of it is thick mud that my feet nearly become permanently stuck in...
What a nuisance be this path, but I will get to the end at some point.
But this does remind me of the similarities between this path and life itself. Some days you're walking along perfectly, and others, you drag; you're very sluggish, or find yourself unable to move at all...
But when a new day comes, more than likely, you're on your way again. When you reach the end of the path, that's the end of your life as well.
But that is just a thought on life. I am almost to the end of this path over a bog, but my life is nowhere near it's end..."  - Lirin Bahonan


So, you wonder... how muddy are your feet going to be at the end of your path? I should hope that they are barely, or better, not at all...


Jeez, I didn't know Lirin had capabilities of saying something so thoughtful...! Than again, he was probably bored near tears on that long path full of mosquitoes....

Uh... anyway.
That's a quote from him in either book two of five. I don't remember. I think it was originally from book three, but events got switched around to make more sense.

The other novel...

The sequel of "The Dawnwolf", "The Duskwolf", is set several years after "The Dawnwolf", and the main character is Mori's daughter.
The Duskwolf, a chaotic wolf without any purpose at all but to bring an eternal night and destroy all morning.
The Dawnwolf must rise once more to help Mori's daughter fight the Duskwolf back.

... If you wonder why I give you such generic descriptions, it's because 1, I don't want to spoil it. 2, if you're an idea thief, there isn't much to snag, and 3, once their published, I'll have all my copyrights and all that legal stuff...

Speaking of which, I haven't described the "Lirin Bahonan" series... well, its rather complex, if I do say so myself...

The Dawnwolf, Bamboran Rains, Brother Galwryn...

Those are the other novels I've gotten into but haven't yet finished.
The Dawnwolf is about a boy who bonds with a sacred wolf of dawn and goes in search of medicine when the whole village is plagued with a fatal virus.
Bamboran Rains is about Dannon, a Rutorran buckskin stallion who was raised by mountain lions who goes in search of a herd to be a part of when he finds out he's not a lion. Upon finding a strange necklace that turns him into a dragon, he is sent to settle the calamity between fire and water and bring the sun to Laghathian Bambora and the rain back to Rutorran Bambora.
Brother Galwryn is about Malmir, a young Everan wolf anthropomorphous (a Tacian, from ground), and his tribe's leader's son.
The war between ground and sky is still raging, and it gets worse when a Galwryn boy (from sky) comes to the tribe, lost.
Malmir can only keep this boy a secret for so long, until he's found out. This incident changes the Tacians and Galwryns in a way that they never expected...


Tomorrow or later today, I will list my newest novel ideas. I have a phone call to make, so I have no time now!

MR. SHAY'S RETURN!

MR. SHAY HAS RETURNED FROM THE DEPTH OF THE NOVEL GRAVES TO STRIKE ONCE AGAIN!!!!!

Oh, who's Mr. Shay, you ask? I'll keep it simple, though Mr. Shay is no simpleton.
He's a very short mini Schnauzer who walks on his back legs, talks and walks like a human, and always ears a plaid vest. When he's up to some SERIOUS trouble, he wears a bowler hat. OR WORSE... a "Men in Black"-like outfit and sunglasses.
Commonly, music fitting to Mr. Shay's taste will play when he enters a room. He is invincible and very pliable, though always snaps back. He is ALWAYS WATCHING YOU.
He who turns out the light or turns it on when you know you turned it on of off... he who is responsible for an action when everyone else denies it... he who steals things from you when you knew they were RIGHT THERE.
Oh, yes.
Anyway, I just told He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's theory. No, I don't mean Lord Voldemort. Or however you spell it.
Anyhoo, Mr. Shay was a side nuisance and a comic relief in one of my very old novels. But now, I'm rewriting that novel and he's moving up a rank...
MR. SHAY PWNS!
Details? Ask. I wanted to do a 365 project with him (you know, taking a different picture of him every day for an entire year), but no one would get it unless they knew Mr. Shay through and through.
Beware...

This year's NaNoNovel...

As you know (at least I think you might), the novel's name is "Eldendor: A Quest for Peace", and it's the sequel to a script I wrote this April... and I know I told you that. Good.
Here's a rather generic description for ya.

16-year-old Almanzo Woods is a shepherd from Eela, a quiet village inside a large forest clearing.
He was found just outside the mayor's house at age twelve and had amnesia, and also a very large wound on his head.
One day, one of the village's sheep goes missing, and Almanzo goes after it, but has an unfortunate encounter with a fire wolf, which burns down several trees, making a perfectly boiling box with him inside it. But then, Eldendor, the forgotten king of Kingdom Eldendor, manages to free him. The two converse briefly, and Almanzo discovers that there is something serious stirring between the Eldorin and Fawnui. Once the fire dies, Eldendor let's Almanzo go, and give him his sheep. Everyone is worried about him, but he has other things on his mind. Not long afterward, Almanzo finds himself in the middle of finding peace among Eldendor and Lefanui and enthroning Eldendor himself once more. But apparently this is a job that one of his ancestors had failed a long time ago. And there is someone standing in the way, waiting for the right opportunity to strike and mess everything up. Someone who existed in Almanzo's ancestor's time. But will Almanzo be defeated like he was? And more importantly... does he, this foolishly defiant young man, follow through?

... WOW! That's really boring! Here, have some details.
Almanzo is an elf with Fawnui blood, thought it doesn't quite show. Fawnui are people from Lefawnui (Lef-AH-noo-EE), and they normally dark brown skin and green hair and eyes. The live in several tribes and live by hunting and protecting one another.
The Fawnui of high north have tails, but others don't.
The Eldorin and Fawnui used to hate each other, and I won't tell you if they still do 'cause you'd jsut have to read my novel, now wouldn't you? POOH! XD
But If you never end up getting it, I'll tell you later, I guess.

So! As the novel progresses, I'll tell you more about it.

_________

This is the list of all the places I've created so far. They're kinda out of order, but I'll put them in categories...

Islands:
The Isle of Gackle
The Isle of Urd
The Concealed Island (Part of Evagren)

Kingdoms/Countries:
Kingdom Eldendor (More of a country)
Kingdom Sand (Near Eldendor)
Kingdom Geostone (Owned.part by Evagren, between Eldendor and there)
Kingdom Takuna (Part of Evagren, but not exactly owned)
Rutorra (And kingdoms within)
Laghathia
Jadina
Tiada
Evagren (Only spring and summer here)
Tanakosk (A place with a deep and long history)
Veinar (An odd place inhabited by mythical and magic creatures only)


Other Large Places (And seas):
Bambora (Shared between Laghathia and Rutorra depending on what side you're on)
The Sinister Rift (Or Raxron's Abyss. A place unexplored by anyone. It's protected by a shroud of strange darkness)
The Dead Sea (A sea that stretches around Fadina, cuts past Western Rutorra and over the Sinister Rift, then cuts off out of sight.
Prakon's Sea (A sea that curves past Evagren and Veinar, and is said to be the territory of the Ancient of All Water)
The Sea of Beginnings (The best place to begin a world travel. It is a sea that is surrounded by countries an other places all around)

... I think that might be it. Want me to get into the places INSIDE each country!? Heheheh. No, I won,t' that'd take too long. No, really.

But there's more!

I plan to take the NaNoWriMo challenge this year. I did last year and won, but that novel ended up being an epic fail... and I may or may not re-write of, or wright a different novel with the same characters.

But anyway! This year's novel is "Eldendor: A Quest for Peace". It's a sequel to a script I wrote this year in April. Details later.
Haven't written today, but I plan to get very far on Chapter Three of Rising Rage.

First Post

Allow me to buy up all your time with a long, exaggerated description of just how grand I am.
...
Well, on the second thought, I'd be wasting my own time, so I'll just keep it somewhat short.
I am a 3,000,000-year-old dire wolf with glistening yellow teeth and a hearty smile.
I like to write. LOTS. Fantasy and Sci Fi, but mostly Fantasy.
Sooo.
I am a total freak about my characters. I've created over 150 of them, but I don't normally use them ALL.
I've been writing since I couldn't spell. A long time ago, I created a planet called Crichianadiie (Crich-EE-anna-DIE), where all of the countries and their inhabitants from my novels are. That planet is still in existence to this day, and new places are always being discovered.
Not one animal or human is like those here, on Earth (unless brought there and bred), which you may or may not find crazy and obsessed, but no... it's called imagination. :D
Anyway, before I get carried away, I'm must tell you what novel I'm currently writing!
It's a series, actually. I already have book 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in mind. The series has a name. Oh, my gosh, a NAME!!!! A name that I might change later.
Here's the list of novel titles in mind in this series:
Series: Lirin Bahonan
Book One: Rising Rage
Book Two: Legends of Tanakosk
Book Three: The War of the Mask
Book Four: The Tacians of Dragon Mountain

... I'm still thinking of the title of book five.
I've written this series twice, but both times, there vision was impossible, so I started over. I'm on my third try, and I have a better idea of what I'm doing.
I just finished chapter two of Rising Rage and I'm writing in chapter three. It's quite a breeze, since I know the first three novels by heart.
I'm never giving up on this!


So, uhhhh... right,  my name is Mary, but you can call me Wolf.
Um... I think that's all for now, that I can think of... if not, I'll tell you tomorrow!
