SOMETHING I MISS: (I'M DOING SOMEONE)

I miss my grandpa so much! He died October 31, 2010. I resent Halloween now, I don't like anything to do with it. Costumes. Candy. Everything. I can't even stand people talking about dressing up.

My siblings still enjoy it, but I can't. I can't.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 22

YOUR GRADES:

*ahhhhem* My grades?

Uh. Honestly, I have no idea--whatsoever--what my grades are. Um... Let's see. I don't know what to do, so I'll just tell you about my school,. ;) We are homeschooled, I'm in the 7th grade, but will be 12 until August. I use Math-U-See and Sonlight for school.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 21

HOW YOU HOPE YOUR FUTURE LOOKS LIKE:

ok. i hope that in the near future I will be published, but since I won't edit, um, it's getting kinda hard... :P I need to work on that...

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 20

Ok. So, yeah, I get it, I stink. And I was NOT IN THE VILLAGE UNTIL TODAY!!!! I just stink, that's all. ;)

I'm dropping the blue/purple thing so I can just hurry on. :/
But let me show you my fav Christmas present! ;D

YAY!!!! :D I also got a self editing book AND The Manual of Style (i think that's the name)

Now. Onto day 20, BTW, we had an AWESOME time in the village and the pix should be up ASAP!!! ;)

YOUR FEARS:

My greatest fear is that every agent there ever was will turn my book and me down. *gasp!* I'm terrified of it!! Literally! Ok, every writer more than likely is when he/she is a newbie, but I'm so stinking scared!!

Let It Go--Elsa

This is one of my fav songs ever. ;) I listen to it while I write each morning. Somehow I get myself to not stare at Elsa, or even look at her in this song. ;)

I got this from Pinterest (uh, yeah...) which someone put on form YouTube, it's not mine.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 18

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt????? It's already Day 18? That means Christmas is exactly one week away. O.O YIKES!!!! And we leave for the village on Friday--in two days. O.O YAY!!!
Writing. Writing. Writing.

I love to write with my whole heart and can hardly stand to not write everyday. I don't know how i'm going to survive being away from Catrinity and Painted Skies (click link to read chapter one) for an entire three and a half days. It's going to be horrid...........
Ok. Sorry about that. I actually figured out how to write it even though we aren't taking the computer to the village. :D

I can't wait!!!!! (awkward me...)

Abrielle Lindsay :D

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 17

Proud of........

Um. I'm proud of my two dogs, Panther and Brownie (we didn't name them...) who haven't been killed yet/taken yet. :/ That sounds pretty awful, yeah, I know, but, it's Papua. :/

I'm not sure if I have a pix of Panther yet (Um, we've had her since September...)... Let me see.
Wow. Are we the biggest losers ever for not taking picture of our dogs. There are none of Panther and one when we first got Brownie.

Anyway, proud of my dogs!!

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 16

(Sorry if you can't read the font, I was in a hurry and it loaded the fastest...)

Something I always think "What If," About...

What if I was a boy, what would I be doing?

I often think that when I'm doing something girly, and it makes me laugh. XD

Abrielle Lindsay

(ALMOST CAUGHT UP!!!!!)

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 15 (And a little birthday...)

Ok. Yesterday was Buzz's brithday!! HAPPY 7TH (!?!) BIRTHDAY BUZZ!!!!!!!!!


All of the boys! (Well, Jeremy wasn't there...)

Buzz is in the cape

Jedi Force

Baby Jeremy was hitting Buzz on the head with the lightsabor!!! LOL

Now. Onto the real reason of this post....

My personality....
I tend to get real grumpy when something in my book goes wrong or my character is grumpy.
I can get mad easily (really need to break that habit...)
After reading that, can you still tell that I am a happy person at all sometimes? Well, yes, I am...

Abrielle Lindsay :)

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 14

heheh, kinda got behind. :/ Oh, yeah, I saw FROZEN. Tangled and Frozen are the best Disney movies EVER MADE. Literally.

What I wore today, AHEM, three days ago. :/

I wore one of my fav shirts that has a pretty bold Operation Ethan on the front. (I've been wearing it for like, four or five years. LOL)

And I wore long shorts.... and that's all.

And on to day 12---wait, there's only 13 days til Christmas, 1 day til my dad's birthday, 3 days til Buzz's birthday, AND just a WEEK 'til we leave for the village!! :D YAY!!!!



SOCCER. SOCCER. SOCCER. SOCCER. SOCCER. SOCCER. SOCCER.SOC--

Ok, you're probably going to get bored by the end of this post. Or you'll just skip it. But, I beg you!, to finish reading it, I'll just describe the positions, and I promise, not to go further. ;)

Goalie--stays in goal blocks ball

Defense--keeps ball away from the middle of their side of the gym

Mid-fielder--follows ball EVERYWHERE

Offenser--stays on other half of gym ready for the ball to be passed to him so he can shoot a goal.

Ok, see, if you read that was it really, truly painful?

Until tomorrow!

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day Nine



Heheheh, honestly guys, I'm laughing out loud, do I even need to post about this subject...? Hahaha.

Ok, whatever. I think that your education is entirely important. Something you should take the time to get, don't ditch it. Get to it, even if you think you have something better to do, you don't.

And don't forget that Gillian Adam's giveaway ends tomorrow!!

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day SIx



Day Six everybody, already? My Views on Mainstream Music:

Don't listen to it. It's not Christian and can feed horrible things into our minds. God would not want us to be listening to it and that should be enough for us to go "oh, we're not going to listen to it any longer,"

My views basically are: it's not Christian, so stay away.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day Five


Wow, day five already?


My Computer Love (or why I get on the computer so much):

I get on to WRITE. Basically, sometimes Pinterest, sometimes blogging, sometimes school, but mainly I get on to write, write, write, and to write some more. Did I mention that I write most of the time? Well, I do. And I could go on forever about what I like to write about, but since you probably aren't interested in that as much I as I might be, I won't go on and on and so forth. ;)

See you tomorrow!!!
