SO much Songwriting

So... Lately I have tried to get back into writing... AND I HAVE BEEN SONGWRITING! Yep. Songwriting. I had worked on a lot of poetry a while back... And for the past few weeks I've been working on melodies. VERY recently I have been working with both!! SO I QUESTION... Do any of you guys do songwriting? What kind? What format?

I hope to maybe put some of the stuff I've been doing up soon!

Finding Awesome Books

So... Now that school is coming back into session for me... I have been trying to find some good solid novels to read. There are actually some REALLY GREAT websites out there to find them!

I started on http://www.randomhouse.com/teens/ where I found some awesome reads specifically for teen girls (click Books, then For Girls). They have awesome summaries of all the books you find.

Then... I checked out http://www.goodreads.com/ where you can create an account and see what other people are reading and liking/recommending. Reviews from this site can be SO helpful!

Finally, I took the search over to http://whatshouldireadnext.com/. I love this site because just one beloved book can get you many good recommendations. Just make sure the book you use is REALLY one that you enjoyed.

And very last... You can always check out my AMAZING book recommendations here!

A poem because of the world.

Hope you guys like this poem... getting back into writing some poetry and hoping it is relateable. Comment and tell me what you think!

Wanting
but overwhelmed.
So many things
people
problems.
Unsolved.
Raging.
Wars and violence and little things.
And people who I can help.
But so many.
Too many.
So many
almost not worth trying.
But still worth trying.
Because even if there are some
that will go unsaved,
so many can be saved.
We will save so many.
Enough.
Even one would be enough
of a reason to try.
So we will try.
And we will succeed.

I haven't Gotten Very Far!

So. Though I have been doing very little work on my Camp Nano novel I wanted to give you all what I do have!

Chapter 52: Anna

He asked me to do the impossible. And I agreed. I’m going to save her.

And I did it all in a daze. They took my blood.Tested it. To see if we are a match. We are. And it starts to sink in. That I agreed to this. That I am really saving her life. That I have to go through with this or she will die. Die. DIE. I can’t let her die. And that is the whole point. That is why I am here. And away from Abby. And that is why George is almost smiling now. That’s his name. George. The wiry brother boy from Alice’s room. He is really the one who I had to do it for. You couldn’t see it, but you could feel, when you talked to him, that if she fell, he would fall to. I couldn’t let them both die. I hadn’t even thought maybe I could save Alice. I didn’t even care. Well, I did. But I shouldn’t have. Because I don’t know her. But there is something about a human life. Something you never want to let go of unless absolutely unavoidable. I am the detour for this one. The way around the fatal cliff.

Chapter 53: Alice


Its been a long time since I've seen either of them. My memmories of how they look. How they walk and how they stand. All of it is so blurry. But I don't know if I even care. It's all so complicated. And I'm trying to piece together my feelings in my head. But I don't even know if I want to. But what if I am going to die.


I’m only fifteen. This should not be my last year. My last smiles and thoughts and wonders and it is way to much to describe even to myself. The idea that I really might die. Tonight or tomorrow. And all because my blood is dirty. Or at least thats what they say. But I halfway almost don’t trust them, the doctors, I mean. And there are a thousand reasons why but the biggest is George. Because he is acting stange. And sometimes I wonder if kidney failure really is even what I have. My blood runs through machines that keep me alive. But I don’t know what to say or what to do. And what if I ripped them out. All of the little wires and tubes. Or should I rot here forever? Or just until I die.

Chapter 54: Anna

It’s like she’s not even there anymore. Because she isn’t. Even though I stare at her little body and push all of my hope into it she is still dead to me. It should be painful, but it is almost not because I knew it. But still the strings that are trying to hold me together say that she is here and she is going to be okay. And now i don’t even know now who I want to believe.

And then I have regrets. Of everyt ime I went out with my friends and the times before Fran died, even. The times when I was so happy and we all were but it was so hard for her and all the times she tugged on my skirt and said in her sweetest ‘I love you’ syrup voice, “Anna,” and then she would look up at me with little hurt eyes and say, “Where you going?” And I knew it was her playing with me but its sao hard. So absolutely hard now. That I didn’t wrap my arms around the Abby I knew and hold onto her forever. That I know if she dies it will be my fault. But it is already like she is dead. It is already my fault.

The Scary World Out There

I've been researching some stuff to make sure the make-up brands I've been using are animal-friendly. I found some scary stuff I wanted to share.



This all really does make you shiver. But it isn't near as scary for us as it is for these animals.

I would give you more videos to watch, but most of them are unbearable.

These animals are so innocent.

(Don't worry, this one is bearable but sad)


Free them.
