NEW BOOK IDEA: Wishbooks of Distoria

I've done it again! I had a dream/nightmare and got another book idea! I don't know where it's all going to go, espeically, when I'm outlining it right now. I like, I really, really like it. It's something childlike, which makes me excited to be able to read it to my little nephews, but also it's already got really LOUD characters. By my meaning LOUD is that they are blasting their words and personality in my head before I even write. They wanted written and their story told! Ace--GOOD LORD MAN, he's the loudest, smart mouthed, taunting, and well kind of annoying, but he has a sweet side that barely anyone sees. You would have to be pretty special or loud, smart mouthed, and taunting like he, before he's impressed and likes you. Emma meets all of those standards with him. It's pretty funny BTW. Emma is quiet but her thoughts are loud enough for me to form a personality for her. Ace and Emma are pretty complex in their ways. And the plot...it'ssss different. Something I'm fidgety over, because it's out of my comfort zone just a bit. It's a borderline of children's fiction and YA, which is surprising.
Oh, by the way it sounds, it sounds like a dystopian, but it isn't. I have a out of this world twist to it that makes it even more unique.


I'm so proud of this book cover!
Makes me wonder what I could really do with
Photoshop if I had it.
The Islands of Distoria, a kingdom of a hundred islands, the remaining lands of the old world, before the great polar flood. Lives a girl, Ethel Carson or Emma as she desires to be addressed as, who does not have much to say, but she has a lot to dream.
   She has a love for books. When she discovers a new read titled “The Wishbook of Distoria”, one of the six volumes. Then her life is thrown into disarray.
   Upon an invite to the circus, she gets into some trouble and is in need of a friend. That’s when Ace Brinks and his nurse sister Alice come in.
  Soldiers come to retrieve an artifact, this inflicts fear amongst citizens. Even the circus is leaving early. Amidst chaos Emma flees from the soldiers herself, because the desired artifact is the Wishbook. Emma knows that the book grants wishes, because it granted one, for the absence of poverty.
  Emma chooses to run away with the Brinks family and their friends.
  She goes on a voyage to find the other volumes before Emperor Distane.
  This is a story of love, betrayal, secrets, truth, and souls of Distoria, especially the soul of Emma.


Here's a song I am in love with, that I am soundtracking WOD with. :D

With love, God Bless, and I love you! <3

Okay, I'm going to qoute from my nanowrimo "Deadly Deceived" page 77.


"Denise?" a very weak, husky sounding voice asks. "Denise, baby, is that you?" Amy can distinctly hear his voice cracking and his heart monitor beeping faster. "Oh God, if you have sent my daughter to escort me to the edge of hell, let it be. I want to see her face one more time."

Marlie gasps a sob in her throat. "Go." She whispers. "He thinks you're Denise. Let him think it, give him a somewhat peace before he goes."
Amy nods, but for some reason she doesn't think Harold thinks Amy's Denise.

I tag
Riv Re
Hannah Hunt
Mariella Hunt

I've been TAGGED!


First, I must post the rules:



1. Post these rules.



2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.



3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.



4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.



5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you’ve tagged them.





Here I go.


Me and my baby boy chihuahua MoMo, who I thought would
go blind, lose his eye, or have to be put down,
because of an eye infection caused by his litter mates or him, I'm not for sure which.
But now he's healthy and beautiful!




Now for the eleven random things.



1.      I’m socially awkward, I constantly find myself in an awkward spot when I come to talking to a person. I may seem dumb, but it’s my social awkwardness blocking my smartness (well, average smarts lol) I guess you can say it’s shyness in a sort of way. It’s a nightmare/impossible when it comes to talking to guys. Gr. >_<



2.      I really have no desire to date right now. I don’t like being tied down by a relationship with a guy when I’m in school and growing in my relationship with God. Some people think I’m lesbian where I don’t date much. Well, guess what? I’m totally, unconditionally NOT a lesbian. Honestly, if I was I would have already told, like for real. I hate keeping secrets because it feels like a burden on my shoulders, and I don’t like being weighed down by something, I like being free!  



3.      I LOVE videography.



4.      I LOVE walking and talking with my walking partner. My best conversations have happened when I was walking.



5.      I have a confliction with wanting to dye my hair back to my natural hair color which is dark brown. But then again I love my blonde locks. Gr. >_<



6.      I LOVE College and all of its work. I like how it keeps me busy. And I LOVE learning new things.



7.      I’m a total romance fanatic, a book or movie always has to have a romance touch to it before I absolutely love it!



 8. I haven’t read the Hunger Games, but I already love it by what I have heard of it.

 9. I’m a TOTAL Skillet FAN! LIKE CRAZY FAN!



 10. I go around all day dreaming up music videos and books.



 11. My newest obsession is “Howl’s Moving Castle” Disney anime movie, because I love the relationship between Howl and Sophie. It’s just TOO CUTE!



And here are the eleven questions.



1.      You go back in time. Where do you go?

I wouldn’t really want to change anything of my past, because my past is what defines me today. But if I would go anywhere back in time it would be… to meet Billy the Kid, because I think he wasn’t the bad guy everyone thought he was, and I would like to find some way to prove it. I think the guy that killed him Sheriff Garrett was the crook, he shot him in the dark for crying out loud!



2.      Would you change your name? To what?

Not really, I love my name. But I may rename myself my middle name first, and that is Danielle.

3.      Have you ever wanted to change how someone else’s life was headed?

Yes, there’s plenty I can think of right now.

4.      Favorite store to shop at?

Wally-World (Wal-Mart)

5.      Favorite memory as a teenager?

Being saved by Jesus <3

6.      Describe me in three words :)

Sweet, kind, and a beautiful soul, Mariella.

7.      You close your eyes and imagine your future. What do you see in 5 years?

In a classroom filled with preschoolers, playing and learning, and I am laughing and falling in love with the kids more and more every day. J

8.      Name 5 songs I have to listen to.

“Hero” by Skillet. “For Those Who Wait” by Fireflight. “Cross the Line” by Superchick. “Please Don’t Let Me Go” by Group 1 Crew. “Outcast” by Kerrie Roberts.

9.      Name 5 places I have to visit.

West Virginia. Mount Vernon Ohio. Carter Caves Kentucky. New York City. Anywhere we can go to hang out and be crazy. J

10.  Name 5 foods we should bring on a pilgrimage to Poland. (Pickles, Nutella, MNMs and bacon aside.) A pilgrimage is where we go to a given place on foot to visit, for example, a cathedral.

Junk food? LOL I don’t know.

 11. Name 5 crazy things to do on the pilgrimage.

Plank in a very awkward and unpredictable spot. LOL The rest I have no idea.


My eleven questions, which are very unoriginal and very not creative whatsoever.


1.      Favorite song?

2.      Favorite computer program?

3.      Favorite blog?

4.      Favorite website?

5.      Your favored hobby?

6.      Fond memory?

7.      Your favorite character of all time that’s either yours or someone else’s, that you would like to be for a day, and explain what you would do for that day. J

8.      A celebrity you would marry in a heartbeat. J

9.      Favorite flower?

10.  Favorite thing to do?

11.  Favorite restaurant?
