A-to-Z blog Reflection post!

I actually forgot about it until I check the list of blog I'm fallowing and saw all of the reflection posts. SO here is my crappy one :D

The goal I had during April was to share my stories. And I did, even if it was probably just confusing since when I start I can't stop writing about my stories so I force myself to stop and it probably was stiff ( not probably I know it is.)

Another part of the goal I had for that challenge was to find knew blog friends and fallow different blogs that interest me. and I am proud every day when I see that I get a new comment or a new follower, I try to respond to all the comments since I don't have a lot anyway.

I like the challenge, keep me up on my toes, regular schedule. Different topic and sharing my daydreams of when I was a kid. I really enjoyed it and will plan to do it again next year! :D

I hope you all enjoyed it just like I did!

And now I present:

Take care everyone :D

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Zed/ Zerox

And its the final day...man Its been a great challenge. I meet a lot of new people and learn a lot. It was a adventure that turn in a different way then I expected and really enjoy it, I really want to do this again that's for sure.

For the last day of the challenge, I have Zed, this is how I pronounce the letter Z. It's being made fun a lot because its what a Canadian thing? But I'm proud of my odd pronounce.

I do argue about that over the Telly when people say Zee I'm like "NUUUUU ITs Zed Zed!! Get ittt?!" Scott just look at me with a WTF expression and just shake his head.

The other thing I want to talk about is my Character Zerox ( pronounce like Xerox by mistake, I knew it sounded familiar until my best friend laugh her ass off and say "Like the paper company?" and I was like oh shit! But no, its just supposed to be Zero ( cause he is a super looser in the popularity chart of high schoolers) and just add the X at the end.

Xerox have flaming red hair and dress like a punk, though he have a very weak immune system so when he catch a cold he has to be stabilize at the hospital to make sure his heart doesn't fail.

His parents are rich bastard that didn't really plan to have him so they just give him everything to make him shut the hell up.But they are not heartless enough and make sure he stay alive and is careful during rainy days.

He is gay of cause and in love with another guy who treat him like shit ( My mom use to say if a by pick on you often it mean he love yeah? It sucks and you just want to kill the guy to leave you alone? Yeah that kind of shit.)

But in my story I have that, Zerox was assigned to a ghost to bring his shit up, because he was considering suicide. The girl was able to give him purpose and love to his life, but it ends up he became sick outside ( got in a argument with his parents, didn't plan that it was going to rain) in the rain, his cellphone die and cant contact anyone. I made that the ghost, who can't leave his side try to contact Xehart ( The jerk that Zerox love) and made him just have ideas that hey he wants to go see his now new friend Zerox and find him in time in the rain to bring to the hospital and make a huge scene of confessing their love ( And Xehart yelling at his duchy parents)

ALLL that in the futurictic world. Yeah, I have a huge imagination, and it wasn't a dream! HO okay it was a daydream. I just created Zerox for the hell of it and the rest of his story came up. And I like ghost so I had to add a reason to place a ghost in the story, just had too.

Also I dont edit, at all so all mistake are my own.

Take care :D

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Yonks

Yonks > pl. n. (informal)
     a very long time.


Just to say I laugh my ass off reading this because I just think its a sound effect like someone just take something quickly under someone else nose ( Yoinks). Its hilarious. When I tried to find a good word for the letter Y to talk about, like usual I took out my electronic dictionary...and laugh my ass off XD

"SO how long is it going to take you?"
"Yonks"
"....what?"

I just, it makes me laugh, I wanted to share that XD

A-to-z Blog Challenge - X

X... just that... the letter x.

Okay so really, honestly I had no flipping idea what to talk about the letter x when I used my electronic dictionary I had like 6 entry with word starting with the letter X. I could talk about the X-men? But I only watch the movies, I don't know much about ( EXCEPT THEIR FLIPPING COOOL!)

But then I remembered my username I use everywhere. My Username is Zenxara ( hence my email address durb)

But the story behind how I decided the name is soo random. MY first nick name ever was Sen. I don't know why or why it just is. But then I fell into the Kingdom Heart fandom and there this Organization 13 the bad guys and all of them have the letter x in it! and with the translation its basically the letter of their name mix match with a x patching everything up in there. SO with that in mind I took the nick name and the letter x and just try to make a good match. Didn't work BUT then my petty of the letter Z ( Zed) cause its never being used as often as it should and being pronounce different ways all the time, anyway I petty that letter so I change the S of Sen into a Z, becoming Zen, with the x in middle "Zenx" and I just came up with the rest to make it sound feminine and right, so Zenxara. It just became that.

Because I petty the letter Zed and like the Organization 13.

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Witch

I love magic okay like, really do. There is thing that we cant understand why it happens that way in the world.

Like...Okay I'm going to tell a story. My oldest sister, since she was a kid she was allergic to food colorant. SO she was really limited to what she was able to eat, but as she grew older it would only get wurst to wurst so much that she was getting allergic to the country air. NO its true, when she left to go to the university, her body go so used to the air in the city that during the summer, when she moved back in her throat just slowed up for no reason! Then she got a burn out from working three job in the same time and had to take a year long break because the depression fell in when you know your ALLERGIC TO FLIPPING EVERYTHING even the medicine.

They went to EVERYTHING masseuses, Acupuncture and other things. My mom was desperate, she was taking care of my oldest sister who was so burn out couldn't be left alone in the house and sleep t3/4 of the day.

I don't know how my mom got to know that women, but with the line of work she did, It didn't really matter, but she ask for at least to see what she could do for my sister, at least to help her in the depression because it was bringing her down her health a lot. SO mom brought Jess down to see this lady. She is very nice, always smiling and speaking french really slowly.

Shes a Naturapath ( actually shes a bit different she's like a masonaturopath she doesn't ask to take medecine or herbs like the 'real' Naturopath ask you to take)

With the help of just her hand and knowledge she explain that there is a set over energy link every where in your body ( the Chakra? yeah that) and the allergies or anything that block you is because there is a not or a block in the path of your energy and what she do is unblock those energy. There is 12 ( I think) first treatment of the basic element of food, material and metals. After you do the treatment, depending of your age ( like kid, teen, adult) you have to stay away from the type of food your being treated with, like example when I took the treatment for metals, the last one of the basic I only needed to wait 12 hours to stay way from anything metal, buttons, doorknobs and all that. SO I stay in bed since I took the treatment on a Friday night I just had to wait, but I took out a binder that I printed some story out and I touch the rings and I could feel cold stream running down my arm that I touch the metal with and it was freaky, I could feel my arm getting heavy so I just quickly did my points ( rubbing in circle part of your body where the energy link intersect the most, it unblocks the path and let the good energy flow)

Well that lady, that wonderful lady made her clientele with just us. She is so close to us now that if we needed a emergency treatment ( happen once or twice) She actually open her doors to us ( we do pay her anyway even if she refuse so) My Sister was her first real client and if she wanted to test something new, its us she call first because she know how much in bet we are to her.

My sister, Jess, the kid who was forever allergic to food colorant, ate her first sugar full candy 5 years ago...and got sugar high and decided to clean the whole house in her under pent. It was something.

She eat fish where before just the smell made her hand swollen up red. She ate chocolate where the only thing she knew was people telling her about how good it is. She can travel!

last year, or the year before, was the first time, I saw her without the allergic bracelet she had on her wrist for years.

My cousin who couldn't hear from his left ear was able to hear whisperer only after the third treatment ( he has it fully recovered now) They try to see if we could recover my vision also, because my eyes never develop to see perspective, but I polity refused after the first treatment, I didn't like it and I've been this way for so long I didn't want to be all clumsy with a new vision ( like getting new glasses, but wurst.)

My little cousin, who was always hyper in school, playing and had to take those pills for kid to slow them down, after a few treatment my aunt throw those things away. Not everything can be cured by pills or surgery. You just have to know what is causing those effect and if they are all natural, hey its just a block somewhere in your body and you can get it fix.

My dad called her the Witch as in the good way ( one because he cant never remember her name), because she cured my sister when no one else could and or give up on her case.

Nathuropath, check it, cured my mom arthritis.

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Vampire

I only have one Vampire character, I don't remember his name right now, but I know that he drink blood, he combustive in light and is the neighbor boy from the main character. I made that he has a power to be unseen by people he don't want them to see him.. He is the middle child in his family, it just happen that, he was dying and his father beg the doctor to do anything to save his son, and the doctor called a Dr Vampire who sort off saved him, but now his father is being a dick because he is abnormal ( basically he would have prefer his son dead then being a monster, when he was the one begging to do anything.)

I have nothing against vampire characters or werewolf, but its being really over used right now  because of the Twilight boom. But I can see that its slowly going down with the Hunger Game boom.

I miss the time where it was about magic and super powers.

Anyway, I had this story about the Vampire character wanting to protect the girl, and its the first time he actually have those kind of feeling before, The girl is not really scared of him, well she is, but she is curious more then anything because he is the only vampire in his family, he have an older sister and a baby brother.

I have nothing against different Vampire, I read the Twilight series, and really enjoyed the first book ( the other ones not so much, but really liked the first one.)

The story with the vampire is really old, I started to write it ( blindingly! No outline! D:) in french when I was in high school ( Instead of listening to some history presentation, it was boring okay?)The only thing I really liked is the title I called it Vepanriten ( French made up word, and even I don't remember how to pronounce it, its been THAT long XD), If I remember correctly its a nickname his sister gave to the vampire a mix of his name and the word Vampire (DHU). I actually don't remember his real name just that nickname, I change the title to " My neighbor is a Vampire" Like a romance comedy chick lit kind of thing.

I wrote a bit more of that story, cause it was stuck in my head, and I wrote it that the name of the vampire is named William ( AGAIN!) but I wrote it a few years after the original so really I think it was just a filler.

those characters came to me again in a dream, where the boy was just really a Gothic guy and was sticking out like a sore thumb in the new family ( in my dream I was living in my bestfriend place and the new family moved at my parent place), I just go so attrack by the boy because he was sooo different from his prepee all go looky family that I just wanted to know more of him. I woke up with the feeling still in. And I wrote it down in a notebook, like I do to every dream that catch my attention.

So note to self: Dream are epic.

XD

Take care!

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Universe

I have, in a story that the planet earth is part of the 7 universe ring. ( where my character James and Genito are from the number 5 ring.)  People from the first and second ring, are more advance and intelligent and decided to make some probes that make some sort of invisible shield that stop all kind of space ship the planet earth send to investigate the secret of the universe.

The people decided to stop and hide the truth from Earth because we are consider as a deterioration species, where were ever we land we will exploit the natural recourse until the planet die, earlier then it was said. We kill everything in our touch. We will dig in the deep of the planet to find resource because we are greedy species.

Its just like a story I told myself to go to sleep, but I woke up and wonder, what if its true? Ho shiit.

Its very scary, I mean we don't whats beyond there, its a whole new experience and discovery, s everything I make up in my mind can be true somewhere and we don't even know!

I love looking at the stars outside during summer time, there is time where its so beautiful where we can see everything! It make me feel small and wonder about the other life there, about what is there other then us.

Its scary but it gives me a trill, a good one, because it gives me a reason to give teories and write about to share it with other and make a flipping great book about it.

There is always more to what there is, we just ahve to open our eyes to see it.

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Tea

Green Tea two sugar please!

Story time!

Okay so, on Sunday my family, we usually go down to have breakfest to my grand parent place, and when we're all done eating my Grand mother serves coffee or tea, and  at first I saw my oldest sister ask for a green tea, I was like whaaaat? I ask her when she started to drink tea? She said she don't remember, just something she must have pick up at the university.

Two years ago, same deal but it was my cousin! I ask her, since when you drink tea? She said, don't know, a while I guess? And she was just finish up her course at the University, so my mind, the great mind of mine, though HEY do we start drinking Tea or coffee when we go to college or University like grow up/ adult? NAAA

HA I Drink tea, green tea and really I cant tell you WHEN I started to drink it! But I can tell you... I was in college XD

My theory is that, we are so work out that students start drinking tea/ coffee to get their energy back because hey being a grow up Adult is tough. Takes a lot of your money and energy. Need caffeine to finish it.

... Funny I got super sick mental and Physically that it took me a month to get back my bearings... yet I'm going back! :D

Anyway do you ( for who drink coffee and tea) remember when you started drinking coffee or tea? Sugar? Milk? :D

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Scotty

Scott...is actually my boyfriend! :D We've been together for 3 years...I think, wait, SCOTT!!...Yup three years. around..ish. He remember those stuff more then me.

Anyway I mention him often, and My Best friend that I slip her real name time to time, because they are close to me and are very important in my life. That and my oldest sister too.

I first meet Scott during class actually. It was our English communication class, and it was three course mix in one. The Media studies ( where he was in) Programmers and 3D artist. The class was mix and we where partner up in group for a project, and it just happen that we where both in the same group. I actually didn't really look at him until I help with the drawing part for our project. I look up and I was like damn he is hot. But he look like the kind of guy to date like a nurse/ doctor, really smart pretty girl. Not...me.

and I was in some kind of depression on that time, I was with all kind of Kingdom heart accessories on me, I had chains and belt, black and white rings, I had wrist bands ( wrist warmers more then anything) and like a king of glove with only one wholes for the thumb to go through? yeah that. I was just... well most of my high school time I didn't have time to act my age, so I was just catching up. NO make up and no care in the world, I would snark and snort and steal my candy away from praying hands.

I don't really know how it happens, but I think it was at the end of one group meetings, my cellphone was dead and I needed to call my best friend for a ride home, and it just happen that he was there when I curse and try to think of the apartment number when he ask if I needed a phone. I did took his phone to make the call, but I ask the security guard for the phone book XD.


(" It's not the first time I gone to college you know"
"really what did you study before?"
"If I tell you, you wont stop bugging me"
"I probably wont, so what is it?"
"I'm a cook"
"Okay yeah, your staying with me.)


When my best friend came back, I ask if he needed a lift and that when we knew he live like just across the road we live, in the giant yellow house. ON the ride back my my best friend give me the okay to date, I laugh because, hell I know I was beat red from blushing and I could really say anything.

(" I actually have one ear pierce three time"
"really?"
"yeah ho and my nipple"
"WHAT?"
"Its true and I have this dragon tattoo that takes my whole back"
"That I have to see, STRIP STRIP STRIP!!")

But it was the first time my best friend actually approved of someone I wanted to date, so heck I tried to live the most I could.So I flirt. A bit. I mean I never did in my life flirt so I didn't know how, but I did control a bit, like I was always sitting next to him during group meetings, I would place a hand on his arm our shoulder when I wanted to talk to him, and just be a bit in his personal place when I was showing him how Photoshop work.

(" You suck at games"
"I'm usually not that sucky"
"Its probably because your next to me"
"Agreed, your making me bad. HO HEY wonna play Pokemon Stadium?"
"HELLYEAH!")

Then, the animation threw a gaming night, where we would bring are console and play old game all together like friends. He play Mario with me but I kept dieing I was embarrassed, so laughing I challenge him to pokemon stadium 1 on the N64 and beat his sorry ass! HA!

I'm actually the one who ask him out ( he still denie it) but there was this movie he wanted to see and just on our day off, I check what movies were out for the heck of it ( no really I wasn't thinking of anything and I just... done it) and when I saw the movie was there I text him that. And he ask if I wanted to go with him.

Okay yes It is him who ask me out, but how flipping long would it have take if it wasn't me whoTEXT HIM THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MOVIE! so yeah. I'm awesome.

But oh god we were sooo clumsy, like you have no idea, it took us like a month and a half ( maybe more) before we could kiss normally XD He was very patient with me, he still is, and he know my twerk now, he know when I'm having a anxiety attack before I know it, he know when I need him close and when I just need fresh air. It took us a year until we fell down like a real couple. the second year I was sick like a dog because of the school stress, the third year, we are normal, well as normal as we can be.

I love him and dear god I am happy I made those calls.

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Read

Yeah, come on. Who doesn't like to read a good flipping book now a days right? right?

But I gonna tell you a little secret.

I hated reading when I was a kid. HATE IT! Loved making up stories as I play outside, but staying inside and read? ho hell no. I think I was what 9? 10? when I actually read a full book ( Harry Potter FTW) It took me a whole year to read it, and I find it HILARIOUS that I finished it, on the waiting room of my Optometrist.
It was the first time in ever that I didn't need medication in my eyes, and I was damn. She ask me what I've been doing and when I said I just finish reading a book, she said that reading actually help healing my eyes to be better. So I read, A LOT!

I think, going back that I didn't reading for the fact that I couldn't grasp as quickly like the others. I read like a paragraph or a page a night and I had to read it once or twice before it registered in my mind what the hell I was reading. My comprehension was like... Zero percent. ( 1 reason why I failed a lot of my class. Or well close to failed.) It took bit by bit, before I am at the speed I am now. But men I can still remember the day where It took me months to read a simple 200 page paper back, now give it to me for the afternoon I'll tell you the damn story XD

JK Rowling books change my life completely. Not only did she give a GREAT story for the kids, she help me straight my eyes and build my comprehension skills. Give me a love that I would never have know ( or would but much, much later)

I read now to get away from real life and be another person, I read to get away from my life... What? It helps with my Anxiety attacks! When I stop think about my problems long enough I can calm my mind down to stop the damn Anxiety attacks long enough to do my job.

Kids now a days don't read as much, or if they do its just... arg books that they don't need right now. Where are the great book gone to? Harry Potter, Amos Daragon? Lord of the Ring ( Actually never read it XD ) Where are the great adventure, with actual MEANING in it, instead of like, there this bad girl in class, she is mean to me, here is my revenge VOILA I am now popular girl in school woopy-doo.

There is still good books out there, but I've notice on how the emo ones are taking most of the shelves, thats not something to boost the moral of kids or teens, they need more powerful characters where they fight and grow. Because if they don't have any characters that grow whit them, they wont change or heal like I did.

That's why I'm writing. I'm writing stories where my characters grow and learn just like the teen or kid will.

(damn count = 3... well damn... HA)

A-to-Z blod Challenge - Quartz

I had a hard time to find a word associate with Q when I was doing my calender, so I took my electronic Dictionary ( which I love sooo deeply, it has a thesaurus in it plus a french to English AND both French and English dictionary inside in just a tiny winy little box I can just flip open...instead of all the flipping books in one shelves that weight tones, good god.)

And I found Quartz. Its a clear stone that I wonder why I didn't consider it before. I love stones, or rocks anything really. And if I visit a place, my father made sure I would at least enter a shop that sells rocks like that I could pick a few and every single time I pick a Quartz. I am attract to Quartz. I bough one that was on a key chain once when I visit Quebec city and there was this card with info on it that told me that people from old time used Quartz as a healing tool because of its cool surface, it was believed that it was absorbing the heat of fevers and such. And I'm afraid ( really really afraid) of being sick, so I guard that key chain like it was my life. I actually got frigging scared when the screw that was holding it got lose and I lost it.

I was flipping on the edge for months until I calm down and got a small on that I place in a pouch under my pillow. ( kid you not, but I was scared that I would loose it behind my bed frame so I just placed it in my box of rocks instead.)


I'm still looking for a necklace with a point Quartz, like that I could carry it around with me and I wont be as scared to lose it much. I love all kind of Quartz, but the point ones, like in the picture or my favorites. That and green stones, not jades, just green rocks I have like a glass bottle full of them XD

Every time I go somewhere I collect a rock as memory ( see Report 101 ) be it a rare stone that I buy in a shop, or a ugly rock that I found on the side of the road or a beach ( beach are fun they have all those colors! :D hate water, love picking rocks XD)

so yeah, love rocks, Quartz are magical and heal me when I get panics attack, awesome XD

Take care :D

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Pink Table

By now you probably have a grasp of what the hell is the Pink Table. If you do please tell me yeah? Cause I have no idea. Its just a reason to show on how weird I am. Cause I don't like pink and that one is like NEON PINK!

James said it represent my soul, I did snort and say my soul is neon green not pink. He just shrug with a knowing smile.

Anyway, I know that most important meetings are made around that table. The Table is a round shape and big, like the round table from Arthur knights ( "Les chevaliers de la table ronde")  It morph into an oval shape when its in The House mansion form, but when its in The House beat up like hell form its a round shape.

I had a lot of meeting around that Table to get my emotion shit together. The best way was to confront why I had those feelings and how better to meet your subconscious himself to help me out? My muse was James for a part of my life but then he became just a character part of me, my muse was a male for as long as I can remember until January 2012 where I notice I've been calling my muse a her. I frig my mind SO much XD ( see Report 99 )

So yeah I feel like every time I sit around that stupid pink table I am planning on how to win a war or something because, before when I was a kid, it was just me Genito and James. Now its like a SERIES of character that I made up from my emotions that are here to help me out in the right path. I have Lavender and Zerox( pronounce like the paper company what is it Xerox? yeah pronounce like that XD) I have Daniel, Yuki, and someone that look exactly like me when I was 16 which creeps me out. ( She is the representative of my childhood memories. That's what he said.)

The pink table is not there to eat lunch on it, its there to have meetings and plan strategies to win the most raging war of all time. Fucking emotions. The Table is where all my character can connect with me and tell me whats on their mind ( one actually insulted me, I treatned to erased him, he said I couldn't even if I wanted to and he was bluntly right that basted. SO I decied to kill him off in every story he could be fit :D)

And this, lady and gentelment was about the Pink Table of doom. Take care :D

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Out doors.

 I was actually really active outside during winter when I was a kid. Putting on my snowsuit and create stories in my mind, playing them out, watching the nature, watching birds...waiting for magic to happen, waiting for my owl to come and say I'm a witch and I'm going to wizard school, you know the deal XD

I pass often my time outside to talk to James out loud, trying to feel it like it is really, trying to trick my mind that it would be real. Most of my story play out when I was outside, the world got created because me and my friends tried to get warm at the school play ground, trying to get away from bullies and I would tell tales of my characters to pass time.

 I don't go outside much anymore I stoped around when I started high school because it "wasn't cool" playing outside anymore, but really, thinking back I find it was the best moments of my life.

I don't like going outside during summer, I cant concentrate with the flipping heat. I hate sweat, bugs and trying to strip down to get some cool air without being neked is hard. But during whiter, hell I still have my snow suit! But the snow is brown here and I wont even put a foot in it. I could go and play still outside at my parent place, but then my mom would make fun of me and make me angry trying to tease me but it just piss me off, she push the wrong button.

I think I be able to go out more when we move to PEI. Its in my plan anyway XD

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Names

okay yes, name, character names. I am obsess by using the same names over and over again. Mostly male names they all are like: Ken, James, William, Alexander.

I like old fashion names. HO men The first time I though of the name Todd for a character I just froze and was like... This is a geek name LETS MAKE HIM A SUPER GENIUS AWARD SUPER VILLAIN with SUPER POWERS, and other villain and heroes make fun of him cause his name is Todd. Its like... really your creating this super villain plan to take over the Super Hero facility but your name is Todd? What kind of super villain name is Todd? maybe like Jack or even like Erik but Todd? naaahhh

I also when I was like 11 all my name started by M. ALL OF THEM even the one I was making up.
Mandie, Melody, Madeline, Mikoto, Mei, Maya and all that It was wurst that I keep using the name WIlliam as my male main character for all my story, I'm getting better though I learn that I can't use it or else my readers will get confuse, so during one summer when I was working at my Government job, n my down time I pull out a baby name website and wrote down all the names (Female, male and unisex) that I liked. Some other names on a post it came from actually people that when I was working on their paper work.

That's how I got Erin, Holy, Julien, Audrea,Jayson,Marcus,Lauraline, Axel,Jasper, Julius, annabelle. ( Fun fact all those names are characters in my Magician Servant story that I wrote for NaNWriMo 2010)

I have like maybe two post it with list, plus three notecard pin on my vision board version 1. ( I have two XD Second one is smaller with actually vision on it, first one I made it when I was in Highschool and only have notes on Writing, story idea, letter to myself and  word that I had a hard time to remember on how to spell correctly.

I find that names are important for the characters, it show their personality and who they are. Its like something a women told me once, when she gave birth to her daughter she had plan since she knew she was pregnant that if it was a girl she was going to named her Ariel, but when she saw her for the first time she said, no, this is not an Ariel its a Veronique. Seeing her daughter for the first time she saw that the name she pick up since ever wasn't made for the new born, and change it right then to the name that she saw fit. And She said it was funny because Veronique wasn't even on the list of name her and her husband made during the pregnancy but both agree that it was the perfect name.

When you name your character you give birth to them, its a important trait and I alsways make sure to remeber the character with their proper name ( they usually get angry when I get mix up, but when you have to fill up a notebook with just character sheet its get a bit confusing.)

I have one character that I made up on the spot from an avatar I was doing on a cardgame website, the avatar system was broken and I couldn't change the sex to female so I was stuck with this excentric looking punk guy with lavender colored hair all spike up. I just shrug and called him Lavender and never though of it again ( website was full of bug so I didn't even bother to go on it again) BUt got my surprised when the guy Lavender came up in The HOuse, flirthing with tinny fairies and being in trouble and being good friends with Zerox another punk character I created around the same time. I called him Lavender because of his hair, out of no where but when he start to have a live I tried to renamed him but with what ever I was trying I always end up calling him Lavender because that was the only thing I could make him have a mark in my story.

Anyway , what do you think? was there a character you just named for just a filler and when you try to change it couldn't?

Take care!

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Magic

Magic is everywhere not just in books I find.

There is one time during the summer where I would drive down to Miramichi every week-end to see Scott at the apartment since I will living in Bathurst because of my job. And I live in bathurst for part of my life I know the roads and how they look like, but one Sunday when I was coming back down, it just.. It felt like I was finally opening my eyes to a knew world, I could see that the road I was driving in, even if I use the same road every single day for all my life, I saw how different it was. I was like magic that just one day it change all. it was bright, green, the threes where Tall and strong, it was the first time I saw a difference in all my life. Now everyday I try to see a difference in my daily life.

books are full of magic, in and out. The power of a book can bring millions of people together ( Harry Potter, Twilight?) Its not just the magic discript in the book, but the book itself that is magic. WOrd transforming itself into image behind your eyes, making you feel different emotion, making you live a different life that this own.

Books doesn't hold magic, they are magic.

A-to-Z Blog Challenge - Language

Language is a strong thing in my writing. I'm french and I write in English, because hell, last time I tried to write a story in my native language I find my notes back to me full of red pens. So when I tried in English, there was more black then red. But I still know that there is a huge grammar gap between the languages.

I actually had to get night class for my English, could you believe that? ( Don't answer that.)

 I learn to speak and read by watching anime and manga, with my friends in high school, during lunch break we would have scientific debate in English, get yell by the teachers every time. I think they just stop after a while, figuring it would have been useless.

But really I got much better in my writing when I start this blog. I still freeze at time at work, because I cant translate a word, or cant make sense of what the hell I'm saying. Every once in a while I go back to the first report I ever make and read up from the recent one and well, at first I tried to correct everything I could see wrong, but I stop, because that's when I can see my improvement ( I just add like PS or EDIT at the end of the report saying just so and update.)

I also find that its my biggest barrier though. Because I don't understand some of the grammar rules, I feel like I can't do as much as I would be able to. What do you think? Do you feel like there is a  language barrier that stops your potential?

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Kitty Cat

At Cat I talk about why I love cats. This post I want to talk abut all my cat Characters.

First one! Is Sir. William McKitten. He prefer to be called Sir, but most my characters call him Willy ( since it's my sister cat Willy XD)

This is his cat version. I also have a new story where he is, well used to be a cat and get transformed into a boy and try to protect a girl from evil Witches. But he still a cat and I make him have cat instinct, he hiss at bullies, the way he talk and act is different from human.

Like he treated to claw their ears off, he say he smell something and the way he eat is like he its the last time he be eating and doesn't use his hands.

I use this character cat often, like right now Sir William is in my script also, he is the cat owning the craft shop, he is a magical creature, with powerful magic and knowledge.






My other cat character is Lady Pixie, my cat. She is the enemy of Sir. William She is proud and will cheat to win, she doesn't care for other only for herself. I only wrote about her during a outline, she is not in the script, I didn't need her.

I also want to place Minouch, a small agile cat with a long tail.

I had Mashmellow Puffball. A fat fluffy white cat who just like to eat, he is the owner of a flower shop close by,  he likes to gossip to Willy often, Willy just find him embarrassing.

Sir. William come more out in my story then any other cats. I raise that cat since he was a kitten, I know him. He is afraid of other people and only listen to me and my sister. He is mean and sly, He can hunt even when he doesn't have claws in his front paws. BUt he cant attack females its so funny and cute XD

A-to-Z blog challenge - James.

I have no idea where to start.

I meet James ( my character)  he was 14, young, long blond hair, was skilled with magic and a bow. he was living in the Mansion with his 13 sisters, protecting the apple fields. He brought me to a wild adventure, he told me about a warrior honor.  I saw so many wonderful place.  I want under the sea with the mermaids, I want in a crater with the colorful fairies, with all the colors of the rainbow. I saw the White village, where everything, threes flowers, the ground was white. The people had all white hair, light color eyes and had a knack of making the best fucking sandwich in the world. Also the most powerful magic users. I climb mountains where I meet a god of the wind, had tea with her as she talk about the future of the world. On how she can see vision and it came true, and she try to whisper it through the wind, hoping a soul will hear and say it to prepare from the in coming catastrophe.

I saved a race of elf from being instinct because of a unfair law down from a greedy king. I ride a dragon over the sea to a floating island. I found a hidden village of magical creature, who like to make pizza. Really good one too. But all that I did with James next to me. I grew with him next to me. When My best friend wasn't he was there, to place me in place, to not crack and hit back the bullies ( unfortunately.)

There is maybe two years in high school, where school work got over my imagination and I lost track, but one nigh I just lost it and went to bed two hours early, close my eyes and let my imagination run, trying to find my inner place to get myself back, to find who I was again and that's when The House came to be. The old beat up one. I got in curious and feared, when I saw the Pink Table I was really unamused. But James was there. Older, wiser and accompanied with new friends that was blurred, that I could remember well or that I wasn't ready to know them yet. But James was there.  Even after two years of me forgotten about them, he was still there for me.

He send me to another small adventure, mostly to remember what I left behind. I meet his Daughter, where I didn't even  knew he had a women. I saw the 13 sister older now, instead of the kids I had fun doing pranks with. They are all grown up, just like I did. I meet Genito partner, I meet new characters like lavender, Daniel.

He brough me back to why I like my stories,but I was still to worried about the red pen going on my pages to actually sit down and write a novel. But he is still there when ever I need it. I love him still dearly, but as a good friend. During that night I promis him, that no matter what I wont forget him ever again, so like what happen in high school will never happen and I will still remember who I am.

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Imagination

 Since I was a kid I had a weird, vast imagination. I live in the middle of the woods, so I was able to play most of my story and imagination, when ever  I tried to write it down, I find it back full of red pen saying I suck. Which is why it took so long for me to get the courage to start to write again, 2 years ago. But it never did stop me from coming up with stories, I wrote short and information in more then 15 notebooks, I had to numbered them and make a cheat sheet to know which notebook have what story.

I still remember parts of old imagination I acted outside in the snow. I remember I was playing a character named Sky, it was a wolf of some sort, with a crown on his head ( gold with sapphires) and some gold plates on the front paws. He was male, I don't remember why I liked playing that character, but I was like the loser of the pack and was trying to save our species. I know that the character I was playing end up falling in love with a girl he saved and she was from another pack, but she was bond to be with the jerk in his pack, a link to strengthen  the packs. I remember Sky's friends and the midnight visits.

Not only that but I also remember, once, during the day of spring, I was outside, laying flat on a snow bank, looking at the clear blue sky, thinking of, I think it was harry potter story then I was just starting the series. But I was looking up when something yellow, gold in the corner of my eye, when I look over to see what the hell I was looking at I saw a golden bird, slowing ( really really slowing) flying across the sky. I know it part of my head that it was just my imagination because I was already thinking of magic, but another part look real. The next year on spring I did the same thing and saw it again. But on the next year I didn't. And never seen it again.

take care,

A-to-Z blog challenge - House

The House.

Hooo goody, here is the good stuff.

The House ( with capitals) is a place that I created for when I need to be in my inner self . Its a really tall, old, beat up. Its very dusty and dark, the windows are covered in planks, its like a really abandon house. When I need my time to just... recharge or find a solution to something I go there, the keys is around my neck, I open the door, and  it can ether be in two form.

The first one, is just like the beat up house of two floors, it open and I see the stairs on the left, a corridor on the right, a open door which open to the dining room, where a HUGE PINK ( like a highlighter!) round table. Which I will talk on later about this table, its legendary.

Anyway, if I want some insight I usually end up in this place where I can sit down at the table and wait for my council for the verdict.

the other one, it grow, still two floor, but the first floor is at least two meters high, there is two stairs each side circling around to the second floor, where its rows and rows full of doors, rooms and classes. In the middle of the two stairs is a huge double doors, on the right is a open door way that leads to the dining room again, and the HUGE TABLE is still there, but the difference between those two ( except of the hugeness) the second one is clean, royal, I always feel like I'm important and that I have power.

When I want to have control, or am losing control I go THERE. There, is where all my stories,all my characters ( stuck in one time line) live and work. This is where I wind down and have fun with my friends form a childhood, I grew up with all those stories in my head.  I always kept them in me for so long that now just being able to freely telling them, and not sound like a weirdo ( much) is so...so much fun. I love it. I have a lot of stories, in just one place, one world, its incredible to be able to remember them and try to tell them without, you know, 100k word novel XD Just talking about the characters is so much fun.

anyway, The House, is a great place that I made up for me to organize everything, I see the mansion more lately then the beat up house, but I do have to go to the beat up house at time, just... once every 6 months instead of once every month XD

I'll do some sketch of it, I think I do actually so I will post that up some day, for now, that's what I wanted to say about The House. My inner place
