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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - Ghosts/Genito

two things in this post also because I CAN'T DECIDED!

Genito first. I have no idea how he came to me. At all. I think I just wanted a character, with the same characteristic of James, but different personality enough to both piss each other off and bring conflict in the world ( cough/ story /cough).

What I know is that he was the gag character, he was there to make the situation hilarious. He made bets and contest during war fights. He had funny remark and odd rumor about a place or people the character where going to go see. I also know that he is older then what he look, because there is reference of him in three world history story I made up.

He was raise by the fire siren, up high in the mountains on an island. There is no other of his species, that that found out anyway, they are still searching, but I know that they must have found something because there is new island that they discovered and that there is another character  ( two actually) of the same species of him in another later undeveloped stories.

just, anyway, when I first made him up he was alone of his kind. The fire siren are women in nightgown, carnivorous, with bright fire hair, and fire rings around there feet and wrists. They are going instinct so, once a year, they force the nearby village to sacrifice a newborn girl to raise as their own, or else, they kill every new born so. They found Genito and brought him with them, when he was old enough to make his choices, he left the island to find his kind. Leading him to trouble.

He is a master in martial arts, and later became a teacher at the mansion orphanage. He can't read or write, but can talk 3 different language, where one is an old language that people though was dead years ago. Only a handful people know that language.

He is rash, he prefer to rush in a fight instead of talking about the best possibility to win a fight. He doesn't think before talking, which lead him to a looot of trouble with James. But both of them are best pals. They would root for each other, James was there when Genito lost his partner ( ho yeah, his gay also HA), and Genito was there for the birth of James only daughter.

HO yes, before I confuse more then necessary, I have those characters, this world since I was like 11, so they all did their time, they grew as I grew, they marry, had kids, I saw their kids age and they "die".

I say "Die" because, there old version have lived their life and gone to another place, but a part of their life stayed with me when ever I need them or they can remind me of their story. Right now Genito is around 26-28, he didn't meet his partner yet. James' daughter is 9 and a very powerful magic user.

Genito is as mischievous then ever, and is wurst now because there are more  mischievous  character to help him bother James until he crack. see post HOUSE later, it will explain. My head is one big puzzle.

Ghosts? I just like ghosts.  I wrote a full novel about ghosts. XD

Take care!

A-to-Z blog Challenge - Demon/Dreams

Dreams are huge inspiration for my stories. Half of my stories are part of odd dreams I had. The bamboo one, the majician servant story was another, give me wings, not so hero, my neighbor is a vampire, mission:summer vacation, and more. Daniel story didn't came from a dream, its probably why I had a hard time to for the story in the first place. I think it took 2 years total to form a proper plan , that I like and my character fit.

I dream every single night, I have a small notebook and I try to write all of them, some I leave behind, others I will write more in detail, because they could be important ( not so hero was one, and Give me Wings, was like a movie!)

I also write demon, because in the first ever stories I ever imagine, I had the evil guys being demons. They where like a virus, if they kill a Tyrian ( human in that world) and link their blood to the Tyrian blood, it would transform into a demon. Lot like a vampire but they are more... invulnerable. They killed a lot and it takes a lot to kill them. When I was planning for the calender and came to the letter D the first thing that came in my head was the demons, but after that was dreams, and they are both important to me, one explain my vivide imagination and how I can come up with so many stories in a year, the other is part of my childhood.

I had this story, this world and characters since middle school, I invented them, I play around with them because I was bored during recess and I had fun telling the story to my friends, to pass time and try to not get in trouble with bullies, cause I was one of the weirdos, and was proud of it.

I grew up with those stories in my head, those character shape me for who I am. I pass half my life daydreaming and listen to the voice of my characters, I will never forget them and I hope someday I would write their story that they told me ( all 13 of them XD)

take care!

A-to-Z blog challenge Cats

This post is actually different from the one I will do in a few days for "Kitty cats."

I want to talk about how cats is a HUGE part of my inspiration for my stories.

I love cats, I like to watch them play around with agility and learn by the time. I like their piercing eyes and their quick  attention to details.

Cats appear in a lot of my stories, they are often cameos of my cats, well my sister cat.

I can consider as my cat because he would only listen to me or her, because during summer when she was goinjg to work, but the kitten was to young yet she would throw him in my room, protect him from our dog. He is a black, long hair cat. Have piercing yellow eyes and skinning in bones. When he sit, his back arch so up it really looks like a cartoon drawing. It always impress me, and he always look at you as if he is bored or find us stupid. ( I can here him being like " you idiot, what do you think I am?")

His name is Willy.

My cat, that me and my best friend adopted, she had long hair and when standing up she looked like a lion, all powerful, but with a soft heart, a great leader. Her name was Pixie, my best friend, used her as a exercise TV show for her class last year, and there was actually a company that wanted to hire her to make that TV show ( cartoon) come to life, but she refuse, she said she was willing to sell the concept to the guy but he really wanted her to supervise and create the story with them so he said no. You can find some of the characters here, its her DeviantArt account. Now she makes plushies, that's what she love to do.

And now there is Minouch ( realy name Priscilla, but its long. Call her Pri-Pri, cat or Minouch), she is my oldest Sister new cat. She is small in figure, tail twice as long as her body, very swift , have extra thumbs and one claw that is stuck out all the time. She is sharp, hear everything, and a quick learner, she learn how to hunt mouses so fast, my dad is proud. ( Find it funny cause when he was Minouch bringing her third mouse in front of the garage, he look at the fat orange cat, Elvis and ask when he would move his butt XD He counter attack by trying to capture a squirrel, which end up him being stuck in a three and my dad laughing.)

I Have a stories where Willy and Pixie are in there ( Pixie is evil, XD ) I still have to come up with a story about Minouch yet, but she intrigue me so much every time I go down for a visit that I know I will come up with the best story for her.

and thats it for today, I know that I have shedual another post about cats, ( Kitty cats, I know, I know, but it was the first thing that came up in my mnind with the letter K) But on that post I will talk about the stories that my cats had influence on, for now: Take care!

A-to-Z blog challenger - Bamboo

Bamboo, odd right?

But it come out in my story often. Well, in one that I really like. It came to me in a dream ( ho how original right?), it was actually me, I was older and asleep, but then I got up sharply after the room shake, I rush out my room ( witch was huge, I felt like I was in a mention, all gold and warm colors) to see smoke coming out of the next room. I felt worried and scared shitless, I rush in the room to see the wall completely blown out and a women, in black armor, on a black smoky horse ( like smoke, really it wasn't tangible.) she was holding a baby in her arm, I scream, the baby cry, the lady laugh and fly away ( no really. Its a dream yeah?)

I rush to the crib and there this, panda plushie toy, look used and floppy. My husband, I guess, rush next to me, and cry
"PANDA" ( I always laugh when I remember that part, its just so...so, unusual.)

and the toy became life. It stood up, look at him, then me, then the wall still smoking. It grew bigger as it move and then gallop in the air after the baby.

Then it god more weird, I cry to my husband ( which I don't really remember the name right now, I think its William but I'm pretty sure its the kid name.) to save our  son, then he look at me ( which I had a hard time cause his his hat was hiding half his face, eyes.) and say
"Get the stake knife"
"No, I told you I wont use them. Its not me!" I cry at him, in distress, he shook his head, took out his lab coat and get out some small bright yellow container.
"Don't do it for me, but for our son." I huff, angry and I took out a stake knife from my belt, there is sparks coming out from it, I hear thunder outside.

The rest is blurry but I know I came out to get my son back and kick some ass.

...

now your probably wondering what the hell does it have to do with bamboo. Well after that dream I continue daydreaming about those characters and my son, control earth, like I control thunder and my husband water. His guardian is a giant panda, but what trigger his power ( like me its the stake knife) is a bamboo stick, thin and light like a pencil, when ever he grab it in his head, he transform into some kind of ninja with bamboo armor.

I have a daughter, she control the wind, and her guardian is a phoenix. I don't know what trigger her powers though, in my head I say she is to young yet to trigger it. It just happen that for self defense, my husband force trigger our son power at young age(which I was very angry about and nearly kill him by throwing my stake knife at him. He didn't budge, witch I was more angry at him.)

anyway, there this WHOLE story about them, mostly my son, and how because of his magic bond he fell in love with a non magic girl, just like my husband happen to me and when our bond got deeper, my magic came out ( by mistake, what ever first object I touch would be the object that would trigger open my magic.)

I could write a lot more about it, I have a short, well two short, about my link and my son link with his girl. I have in my future plan to write about them someday ( after I Have Daniel story done.)  I will write more when the time come from, but for now, that's what I had to say about today's challenge about bamboo.

Its awesome, with lots of Pandas.

love,

A-to-Z blog challenge - Amanda

Amanda is not a person, but a character actually!

I chose her to represent the letter A today because of a few things. She wasn't the first character I had invented in my head; she is part of 13 sisters, and the oldest. No I choose her because of her personality that I still admire of her.

She has parts of personality that I give to her that I admired for my oldest sister. She is smart, witty and great leader, she know when to take a joke and when to become serious. She will do everything to protect her sibling, and will listen to them. She have an open mind and heart, she will accept everyone for who they are no matter what.

Amanda, when she pop in my head came (like I said above) with 13 sisters, her being the oldest and wisest. She is part eagle (courage and loyal) she have the long, strong wings and tail in her back. She have long brown hair that match her wings, she is usually wearing a long dress. Her golden eyes are piercing and can see everything.

Sometimes, when I go to my inner place for peace and quiet, it’s never quiet, I go to this really old, beat up, two story high house and she is often there, and I talk to her, to bring my though back in track, to take away the fog in my mind. She never left me; she is still inside me whenever I need her.

I still remember the 13 sisters, but not as much as her, which is a shame since I really liked those characters, they just need more...modification of a sort.

And this, was about Amanda, the loyal eagle. Next up Letter B like bamboo!
