Ciao, site surfing peoples!
Sorry it’s been so long, but I’ve been very busy making cookies and eating cheesecake and playing video games and reading (and rereading) books and… um… what other excuses do I have? Oh yes! I have been WRITING!
What have I been writing, you ask? Well, I answer, I have been writing TRAP AND LURE! What is Trap and Lure about? you ask. Is it a good book? you wonder. To answer one of those questions, Trap and Lure is about… *drumroll* …ALIENS! That’s right! I told you about it last post, I think, but did I mention the UNDARS and SLINKEYS and FOUR-HEADED MULTIS? That’s right! SLINKEYS!
Any who, just a few moments ago, I was ambushed by the end of Trap and Lure, so now I must prepare to right another book. What book? Well, I’m not sure about the title. But I know what it will be about (otherwise, it’s kind of hard to write, right?). This book will focus on… *pause for effect* …A SUPERHERO! Not just any superhero–BAT-EAR, the hero of HAYSTACK!
What? You don’t know what that is? Well, neither do I, really.
So, is that all I have been doing? NOT SO! We also have new neighbors (I mean, MORE? At this rate we’re going to be a city!), and in traditional neighbor-welcoming style, we have gone HIKING with them. And that’s about it.
What will I do now? you wonder. Will I finally start doing useful things? Probably, since school will resume soon. School makes you realize what’s REALLY useful. And of course, my dog is causing problems and the cat’s being annoyingly affectionate… as usual.
Well, that’s about it. See you on the other side! (I don’t really understand that saying, but oh well…)

You put me to shame with all these completed books. Grace. HOW DO YOU DO IT?!?!?!

Cheeky.
September 6, 2015
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
September 7, 2015
I give up.
September 7, 2015
Try NaNoWriMo. It is very helpful. Because you have to write a book. In a MONTH.
September 10, 2015
I’m honestly kind of scared to.
September 11, 2015
Don’t worry, you don’t get beaten up if you can’t meet your word goal. Anyway, that just kind of taught me that I can finish writing a book, so I should. The real trick is don’t write a bunch of books at the same time, just one or two, and write EVERY DAY. Or EVERY OTHER DAY. Or EVERY THREE DAYS. 😀
September 13, 2015
Hehe, the problem is, I have an idea for a new book about once a month. Or twice a month.
And I have to get it down RIGHT THEN, or I’ll forget.
And right now I have about fifty works-in-progress.
*sigh*
September 14, 2015
Well, when I have ideas, I just write them down, and use them later. I have about fifty ideas down now, but I’m only writing one book. When I’m done with that, I move on to another idea, and when I’m done with that… Well, you get the idea.
September 18, 2015
Except, then I’ll have an idea of how to continue it, and I’ll write, and so now I have a ton of documents with half a chapter to two chapters.
September 18, 2015
Alright, fine. I did it. I joined NaNoWriMo.
September 18, 2015
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Email me your username, please! Then we shall be WRITING BUDDIES!
September 18, 2015
Same as on Howrse.
September 19, 2015
Um… What was that? *embarrassed smile* My account expired or something…
September 19, 2015
Oh, so THAT’S why you stopped playing.
hotcocomarshmallow.
It’s kinda my universal username now. *sheepish grin*
September 19, 2015
Well, actually, I stopped playing because it just… kept changing. Always new puzzles and challenges and stuff. I just got tired of it, I guess. *very sheepish grin*
September 19, 2015
Oh, and my username is BasenjiBeagle.
September 19, 2015
Um… is that your full username?
September 19, 2015
Yes.
September 19, 2015
Are you sure? The search isn’t coming up with anything.
September 19, 2015
Oh! Are you on NaNoWriMo YWP or… the older people one? Whatever it’s called?
September 19, 2015
Just plain old NaNoWriMo.
September 19, 2015
Oooooh dear… I’m on YWP. Whoops.
September 19, 2015
Ah.
September 19, 2015
Yeah, I think Beth stopped playing because of that, too. I’m still playing, but I mostly ignore the promos and such. They have Draft horses now, Shires and Perchons. But you can only breed them three times. *huff*
September 19, 2015
So, do you want to join YWP, or should I join yours?
September 19, 2015
I think you should join the older one.
September 20, 2015
Do you wanna check YWP out first? It’s for 17 and under, BTW. That is an awesome acronym. Acronym is an awesome word.
September 20, 2015
I did. I dunno, it’s just… I don’t think being able to set my own word count goal’s gonna work for me…
September 20, 2015
When you first join, it had this thing so it can figure out your writing speed, and from there, it figures out what goal is the best for you.
When I first started, I did the default (30,000), then next time I did 40,000, and next time I’m going to do 50,000. But I can join the grown-up one, if you want. It just seems so… grown-up. No forums or anything.
September 20, 2015
Actually, there are forums.
September 20, 2015
Ah. Well… I’m just hesitant, is all. Maybe we can both do separate websites, and just talk on here. Or… have you ever read Spirit Animals? Or Wings of Fire? Or do you like Minecraft? Or have you heard of Upside Down Magic? Or Harry Potter (okay, I know you read that one)? Or Jedi Academy? Cause there’s a sight for all of them. It’s called *drumroll, please* SCHOLASTIC. Wings of Fire Scholastic, Spirit Animals Scholastic, Minecraft Scholastic, whatever you please! 🙂
September 20, 2015
I’ve read the first book of Wings of Fire, but… Really, you should join the older one. It’s fun!
September 20, 2015
What about Harry Potter? Or Minecraft? Or any of those others? Can I just give you the link so you can check it out? http://harrypotter.scholastic.com
September 20, 2015
I see I’m getting nowhere with you. Alright. Scholastic it is.
September 21, 2015
Maybe I have some Common Shadow blood in me… Will your username be your usual?
September 21, 2015
Yep.
September 21, 2015
Scratch that, they make me choose from a list of words.
September 21, 2015
It’s dancingdragon1274.
September 21, 2015
Got it! Thanks!
September 21, 2015
What’s yours?

September 25, 2015
Hey, what forum is your favorite? I was thinking of making a thread for us to meet up on on it.
September 26, 2015
Harry Potter.
September 26, 2015
So, should I make a thread to summon thee?
September 26, 2015
Yesss.
September 26, 2015
It will be in the Spoiler Free Zone. See you there!
September 26, 2015
Arrrgh! Harry Potter is so frustrating! How about we meet on the Minecraft forum instead? I know how to navigate it.
September 26, 2015
‘Kay.
I just realized that anyone else reading these comments must be laughing their butts off. Or utterly confused.
FOR STARCLAN!!!
September 26, 2015
No! For the Ender Dragon!
September 26, 2015
The what?
September 26, 2015
The Ender Dragon. *evil grin*
Also, I’ve created the thread on Minecraft, I just need to wait for the mods to let it through.
September 26, 2015
Oh! Oh! Oh! It’s through! It’s through! Should I post a link, or can you find it?
September 26, 2015
Post a link. Please.
September 26, 2015
A-a-a-a-a-nd here it is! http://minecraft.scholastic.com/forums/topics/169298

Aaaand, there I am!
September 26, 2015
Aaaand, there you are! 😀

Gracie, I love your blogs. They are funny, entertaining, and well organized. Keep them coming!
