Haven't posted in awhile.

Nope. With NaNoWriMo coming up and all, it's been rather busy...
I know you've already seen this, but here's the newly-improved version of that summary:

A long, long time ago, an event took place that no one even remembers or even knows about but those who had experienced it. It was an event which your history books do not tell you of.
This event took place in ancient China. It was one ordinary day, people were going on about their usual daily routines... when all of a sudden, something blocked the sun. Before the people could get a chance to see what it was, something fell upon them, crushing their entire town.
However, the sun shone again right afterward, and the people were unharmed, but they were no longer in the place that they once were.
As in, they were still in their town, but their town was now inside a completely different country; a completely different world!
Therefore it was only them who knew what happened. Unable to return to China, they remained here and created their own new empire.
Their city became vast, and was newly known as "Tikapon", which was a word that a man from this new planet told them of. It seemed as if he eagerly wanted them to name their city that, but the reason why is still unknown....

Several years later, their lifestyle and technology changed drastically; very different from their original country itself.
Something is stirring in the air, the people of Tikapon say, but they don't know if its good or bad.
Living on the countryside north from the city lives Feng and Ming Song, sent from the city to their Grandmother's house by their parents for seemingly no apparent reason. Feng and Ming are sisters, and very close ones at that. They are always together, having fun even when they have to do their multiple chores.
But one night, Feng goes out to check on the animals, when she spots an unusual creature watching her; not even remotely concealed, but just standing right out in the wide open. It appears to be some kind of canine, but its too dark to see.
After hearing gunshots the following night, Feng goes out to do chores again in the morning and sees a young man laying there. Quickly, she runs to his aid. He appears have a bullet in his shoulder, but who would have shot him?
As her Grandmother agrees to let him stay awhile, the young man grows stronger, and he finally introduces himself as Kiang Wu, and he had been searching for Feng for a very long time, its seems.
It turns out that Kiang is actually the wolf that Feng saw on that night, only in human form. Or is human, changing to and from wolf? Feng can't figure it out, and Kiang won't say much about it to her.
As the days go on, Kiang tells Feng that there are two dragons lurking around the city; one is cold and icy, and the other is hot and fiery. He also says that it is required that she comes with him to uncover the truth behind these dragon's; which one is good, which one is evil? Or are they both evil, or both good? Or maybe not good of evil at all...
Feng finds out she, too, can take the form of a wolf, though hers is far cuter and purer then Kiang's...
What are these dragon's reasons? Who is Kiang, really, and does it have anything to do with the "strange event" that took place hundred of years ago?

There we go. I think that's pretty much what the plot is going to be about, with more interesting aspects, of course.

Well, this is basically the same post. Clearly nothing exciting has been happening...

Finally, the basics of Feng Song's plot!

FINALLY. There's a lot more going on, but its only at the edge of my brain right now.

Here's Kiang, wolf form:


And my profile picture is Feng, wolf form. Aren't I such a fantastic artist? Wheeheehee. XD

Sorting things out.

Well, I've got a low of things piling up...
Which should I write first? Bamboran Rains? The Dawnwolf? Feng Song, or the Lirin Bahonan series?
All in all, that's eight novels total... but wait! What about that Eldendor one? A Quest for Peace... and the Duskwolf, too.
Arrgh. These are novels I truly do want to write...
I think I'll do it in this order:
Feng Song in November
Bamboran Rains after November
The Dawnwolf after Bamboran Rains
Lirin Bahonan series after that, or in between, now and then.
And then the Eldendor one after that, and after THAT, The Duskwolf.
That's ten... freaking... novels...
Oh, well. It's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon. I'll just take it one step at a time. Normally, I would write the ones that have the most development, but then I might forget the other ideas!
With NaNoWriMo this November, I think it will work out great.

...
No, wait! I have an epic idea! I'll set a deadline to finish The Dawnwolf  in two months!
Like I said in an earlier post, Bamboran Rains will be finished OR published in Spring or so...

Well, I'm just ranting here. Thanks for hearing me out.

Planet Crichianadiie's 3011th birthday!

Is today! Or tomorrow! Can't remember!
It's odd that the inhabitants of Crichianadiie would actually keep track of the date that their planet was made, but the Ancient of Time would likely know, so he probably told someone, and it spread from there.
Thinking it over... Crichianadiie is pretty young!
But, as you know, I'm, like, WAY older than this planet. Like, $999,996,989 years older!
... Uh, what's that you say? The dollar sign? What dollar sign? No, I wasn't thinking about how much money I could sell this planet for...
... Not that you can really sell planets, anyway. Heehee!
Oh, yeah, I don't know if I already said this, but Lirin Bahonan (the character) is now 29 years old (since the 19th of last month).
He was 27 when I made him up. Not very impress-o, but it's something!
Yeah, well, Almanzo Woods, another character of mine, was created as age 16, but is now 19! 20? Can't remember. Arrgh.
Well, I have characters that are older than my planet, anyway.
And that concludes our univer$al studies of today!

... What? No, no, you must be money-obsessed and hallucinating. I didn't use a $ for an S...

Weird Script.

Well, the weather is quite nice today. I can only hope it gets nicer.
A few days ago, I had an incredibly strange dream. I'm writing a script based off of the crucial details of this dream, with other details added.
Basically...
It's about this boy named Joey. He's eight, and he really, really wants a dog.
Wait, what? Stop here?! Yeah, it sounds very boring, but keep reading!
Anyway, one day, when school ends for the day, Joey is headed for the bus, when something huge nearly lands on his head.
Meet Lonri, a massive, over 5-foot wolf-like monster that talks! Pestered all the way home, Joey thinks he get's rid of Lonri, when...
...When Lonri breaks up his molecules and passed right through the door, before materializing again.
Joey is greatly puzzled by this, but then there is even more shocking surprises yet to come.
After Joey's parents get home, Joey has to hide Lonri somewhere. For a few days, Joey takes care of him, until later...
It turns out Lonri isn't actually a wolf, but a strange, alien man! He looks perfectly human, really except for a few unusual attributes...
When Joey goes to talk to Libya, a young woman who lives in a mansion alone, Lorni takes a great interest in her which complicates protecting him quite a bit.
Libya states that there is a planet far, far away from Earth, seemingly unreachable, but this man seems to have come from that exact planet.
Lonri has many different powers, Joey and Libya discovers, other than dissipating and turning into a wolf. Like a chameleon, he can match the color of his surroundings, only its far more complex; he can match the area he is in front of!
And if Lonri's mere presence isn't enough, an insane, spindly-limbed film-producer discovers Lonri and wants to add him to his motion picture. But Lonri wont accept. finally, the scary film-maker finds Libya and drags her in, forcing Lonri to pursue and rescue her.
Joey knows that if Lonri is put into a movie, it will become famous, and so will Lonri, then, Lorni would be in grave danger, and so would his planet. Planet Earth, even.
It's up to Joey to find a way for Lonri to go back, but... being such close friends to Lorni by now... would a boy like him have the heart to do it?


... Pretty weird, huh? I'm writing it right now!

Full Bamboran Rains Description!

Finally! This novel will be published... sometime next year. Spring, Summer, somewhere around there. Spring, likely, if I'm not rejected...

Here's the description.

Copyrighted by M.H. :
Dannon, a Rutorran Buckskin stallion, was raised by mountain lions due to a strange decision on his mother's part, until he descovers he's been decived, and leaves hastily by choice, in search of his mother and others of his kind.
He meets a haughty and reckless mare named Saja, who helps him escape from the enraged mountains lions that pursue him when he leaves the pride, and she takes him to his mother(now the leader of a new herd since her old one was destroyed by the lions during a terrible famine), who does desire to see him.
But after this emotional reunion, she tells him of something that he and Saja must do, which requires more journeying.
This journey requires passing through the sacred Road to Ashlond and entering the Realm of Ashlond to bring peace among the two sides of Bambora, bringing the sun back to the Eastern side and the Rain back to the Western side, since a fight broke out between the places a long time ago and these two crucial elements were taken away.

By the way...
Bambora is a place that runs between to countries; a dry desert/volcanic region, Rutorra, and an arctic/rain forest region, Laghathia.
There's Rutorran Bambora, the Western side, which is a dry, hot desert, and Laghathian Bambora, the Eastern side, which is wet, cold and rainy.
The sides are divided by the Bamboran Mountains and cliffs.

I think that sums it up. Yay, no world-saving.

I'm fired up!

NaNoWriMo is only a month away, and I'm nearly prepared!
I'm happy that I helped with a problem in re-launching the site... I asked the one of the new people in charge if they could fix the thing where is says "Years You've Done (and Won) NaNoWriMo", since it only went up to 2008...
He said they must have overlooked it, thanked me, and he fixed it right away! Yay! :D
I know a lot of you NaNoers have been wanting that fixed for awhile...
Suuuure, it's not THAT important, but I'm still happy I helped!

So, yes, I need to go to the library soon and look up some History books, like I said, but I also need help with something else...
Um...
Are Chinese beds or cots called anything in particular? Or are they just called beds and cots? Is a different word for them required?
As you can clearly see, I'm not used writing about things that happened on Earth...
Hoo, my.
