*evil laughs echo from behind you*

So usually I post up this poem that's SUPER CREEPY called One Last Time, but this year I have a new one for you :) Still creepy, but it's something different. (This is the original poem.)

The Carnival

The first thing you hear. 

Do you hear the bells?

Shh, listen to them.

Jingling

Tinkling

Ringing

It's the sound of happiness.

Your happiness.

Come.

Bring friends.

Smile.

Jump.

Dance.

Eat.

Become hypnotized by the colors.

By the smells.

By the lights.

By the sounds. 

Come.

See that man?

The one in the top hat

swinging a cane

with a serpent on its

head.

Go over to him.

Step right up, don't be shy.

Lose yourself in the spinning.

Swirling.

Dizzying.

Enchanting.

Mind boggling.

Soul consuming.

Do you hear the bells?

The drums?

The horns playing short, repetitive tunes? 

Listen.

Stop for a moment

and look

up at the sky

and sigh

at the stars

and the clouds,

then wonder

if this one day 

out of the other

three hundred

sixty

five

is any more special.

Closer your eyes.

You know the answer:

It is.

Step along the dirt

and the sand,

but mind the grass.

On to the next ride.

This one goes upside down. 

Hang on tight, you might

fall

out. 

Which one is next?

So many choices.

Make sure you don't

lose

your

way.

A haunted house of mirrors.

Choice choices choices.

Is that your reflection?

No, it's a funny mask

with big eyes

and red lips

painted on sweating cheeks.

A big red nose makes you smile,

and green hair wafts the smell of hair spray.

Giggle.

Laugh.

Chuckle.

Grin.

Come, little child, have you lost your way?

It's nearly past midnight.

Where is mother? Where is father?

Here, I will show you the way out.

I will take away the tears

that have yet

to come.

Ringing.

Tinkling.

Jingling.

Shh, listen to them.

Do you hear the bells? 

It's the last thing you'll hear. 

Also: November Calendar.

Obviously it's not November, BUT... I mean, isn't my schedule for that month going to be fairly predictable??

XD
Happy Halloween!

Halloween Background!!

:D

Pretty, yeah? Simple photo-editing alteration, I'm getting fairly good at it. It's still Des's gorgeous background, but now the temporary cobwebs and stuff like... halloween-y :)

Concerning Halloween, I'll hopefully be on W101 tonight and maybe some tomorrow and doing those never ending quests. But they are fun! Maybe I'll be doing them with Madeline (my Myth alt)...

ANYWAY, more updates. What's this? A new world?


A
...
New
...
World
...?

BRILLIANT.

YOU'RE ANOTHER WORLD BEHIND NOW, EMMA, GREAT RIGHT?

-_-

No.
Just...
No.

Ok, maybe it's kinda my fault that I've been questing my way around Azeroth and parallel dimensions, but STILL.

*mind blown look*

Khrysalis and Shadow Magic.

SHADOW MAGIC.

I HAD THAT FIRST :p I CALL COPYRIGHTS!!

School of Shadow people? Yeah? You have got to be kidding me >_<

:p

:p :p

:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

Ok, maybe this is what happens when you don't continue the story and KI's like, "Oh, it's over now, our turn!" Or maybe even, "Brilliant new idea!" Yeah, they probably came up with it on their own... but still... I did have it first :p

I'm looking forward to the posts and posts and waterfall of posts about this new world and Shadow Magic so I can read all about it (mostly about the magic *tentative look*).

Laterz!

A Post

A post?
A post!

"Look everyone, a post!"

Wait, wait a sec -

"Whoa! Such a rare sight."
"Look closely, it might vanish before your eyes."
"How sad."

Hold up, that's not -

"Wish it appeared more often."
"Yeah!"

I can explain -

"Your reasons are all lies!"

Ok, that's hardly fair.

"That was a bit harsh..."

Thank you.


PEOPLE. INTERNET. HELLO!


Life: "Don't forget about me..."

*shoves Life out of frame*


I'm launching a project! It's called Once-A-Week. Basically, I post once a week (asking a lot, I know :p), and update one fanfic a week (again, a lot to ask), and complete one chapter from an original work of mine a week (ok, that's WAY too much to ask).

As for the podcast? Don't worry! It's coming! Both Flint and I have a lot in our lives right now; between school, sickness, and other friends harassing us (or, rather, me) about other books, finding time is a bit difficult. But we WILL get our episode two up this month :)

Concerning the fanfic... I think I'm going to work on rewriting Generation WizBot. NOT because I'm abandoning Chasing Shadow's, but because I've got this MAJOR writer's block. You know what I call it?


Life: "It's called you have history homework due on Tuesday."

Shut up, Life!!


Anyway, though CS is still my main fanfic, I will currently work on rewriting GWB.

And plan my NaNo novel (which has changed...)
And read my other friends's novel.
And edit.
And write my other original novel.
And blog.

And do homework and stay healthy and get enough sleep and pass tests and play video games and talk with friends and plan my life and eat food and breathe oxygen and break my procrastination habit and practice music and roleplay.

*deep breath*

Wayyyy too many 'and's in there... No worries, I got this down!
*triumphant thumbs up*


Life: "You're asking too much."

*rev's up chainsaw*

Life: "I take it back! You can do it!"


So, basically, between the 20th and the 26th, except a blog post and a GWB chapter! Given, the chapter might not be very long -_- Oh well, I can only demand so much of myself.

Happy pre-Halloween!!

Well here I go... NANOWRIMO!!

As I said before... IT'S OCTOBER.

I have one month, ON SINGLE MONTH to plan out an entire novel in which even I don't even know what's going to happen. My mind is a strange place, and I'm ready to dive into it and see what I can pull out.

Currently, I'm walking in a city, about evening time, thanking my friend for a cloak they stole for me (it is getting cold out after all). Music echoes in my ears and I stretch my fingers, preparing for the cramps of long hours of writing.

So, when November comes, my name'll change to Midday.

This banner makes me happy :)

I hope that, during the November month, I'll be able to get randoms tip thingy like things up on this blog. However, most of my writing updates will be up over on Just Emma Games :)

First song for writing? I've been hanging around Spotify for a while now, and those commercials can get pretty annoying. BUT sometimes they lead to some pretty awesome songs, such as Wake Me Up by Aviici.

Usually music with lots of lyrics are not the best for writing, but I think for planning this works fairly well. It's upbeat, so right now I've got this really epic vibe while I write this :)

Well, I'll keep you posted!! Good luck to everyone else who's participating ^_^

Laterz!
~Emma

Oh geez, school, why do you do this to me??

I mean, I'm guessing you guys already know this by now, after previous years of blogging, but school gets in the way of everything.

Not to mention I missed school last friday because of this crazy "epidemic" that's going around, thankfully I only missed a day :) However, I had to catch on four different major homework assignments (I was actually up till midnight last time doing a science lab. No. Just... no).

IN OTHER WORDS:

DANGIT. I HAVE NOTHING TO POST >_<

Writing time? 1%
Gaming time? 2%
Reading time? 1.5%
School time? Homework time? 95.5%

^^ Those statistic are depressing -_-

The only good thing going on right now is that in English we got to pick ANY topic we wanted for a "persuasive pamphlet." Mine?

MORE
FANTASY
IN
ENGLISH
CLASS
READING.

*mic drop*

I love that meme so much lol. ^^Images credit to owner because I can't cite because the internet is weird like that sorry!^^

Annnnyyywwaaaaayyyy.

Sorry I haven't been posting!! I'll try to post some random stuff even if it's just to... post stuff.
Um.

I'm sure it will pick up again during November with NaNoWriMo and all.

OH
AND IT'S OCTOBER

You know what that means?? ;)

Podcasting thing whatchamacallit EPISODE TWO XD

A set date is TBD, but don't worry, it's coming!! Flint and I are both super happy you guys liked it and it got so many views and yeah, we'll make sure to have a better 'thank you' in the intro XD

Laterz!
