T is for Troment

Helló,

So today's Hello of Today is in Hungarian. I love looking up all these different kinds of ways to say hello in foreign languages. To find these language translations, I've been using Google Translate. It's so much fun. I can't wait to do tomorrow's post just so I can find a new way to say hello. I wonder if anyone else finds this as cool as I do. Oh well, Pickers can't be Choosers.

The Word of the Day is brought to you by the letter T. The Word of the Day is Torment, which if you look the definition up on Google, it means, well apparently there's more than one meaning. So I'll list them all. 1. Great Physical Pain or Mental Anguish. 2. A source of harassment, annoyance, pain. 3. The torture inflicted on prisoners under interrogation. Well, now that everyone knows what torment means, I'll move on to tell you my reason for picking this word. If you don't already know, Lauren Kate, the author of Fallen has come out with a new book called Torment. I haven't read this book yet but it's on my Must Read list. This ends today's Word of the Day portion of my blog.

On to the next big matter of business. I finally made a complete online version of my Must Read Book List of 2011 to my to-read list on Goodreads. So go check it out. I have over a one hundred and three books because I found out that a lot of the books I want to read this year are a series. I didn't expect to have so  many different series to read this year. I just figured, hey I'll give this book a shot and see if I like it. I also have a pet-peeve about books that are a part of a series. If I find out the book is a series, then I'm like I have to read all the books in that series. I don't know if any of you are up there with me. I'm probably the only one.

Guess what. I started Chapter Six this morning. I'm not finished with it. But at least I started it. Now the question is if the chapter correlates with the other five chapters that I already have in place. My plan for The Light Chronicles is to finish it or to come close to finishing it this year. Then in 2012, I will go back and revise and edit it. I know it's going to take a while to do so my first goal is to finish it. Since I am still early on in the book, I'm not sure where it will end. My characters are the ones telling the story, not me. Everything that is happening seems to be right where they want it to be and where I want it to be. If you would like to take a look at the other five chapters, you can check them out here at Inkpop or Authonomy. I will however not be posting anymore chapters up on either of these websites.

In other news, I am so excited to be writing again. Its has been a few months since I've written the last  chapter and I'm not back into the full swing yet. So, I have to get back into it. Even though I don't feel one hundred percent totally there yet.

Today, my day consists of writing my book, doing this blog post which is almost complete, and I think there's something else going on but I'm not sure yet.

Well, thanks for taking the time to read my really long post. I know it must have taken you a while so I'm pleased you stuck through it  to the end. Oh, I'll try to make them shorter from now on. Have a great day.

Love Britt

Nine Lives too Short....!!!

Hey Everyone I've been working on making  on completing my job applications. Which would be a lot easier if I kept all my references in one place. But no, crazy organized girl can't seem to do that. Wow, that's just sad. I'll have to get some kind of system going on to keep all my current information together. Then bye bye crazy application problems. I signed up to take my Driver's License Test. I guess that's big news. I finally be able to drive. Which will be great for college, work, and smaller endeavors.  I'm super nervous. I feel so much could go wrong. The worst that could happen is that I can't parallel park or I can't follow the instructor's commands which should be pretty basic.I hope it is anyway. I've been keeping in contact with my boyfriend who lives in Fort Myers. Haha. Talk about long distance. I think I've been doing a pretty good job so far because I've kept in touch with him and I text him almost everyday.  I r

New Ideas, Old Fairy Tales...!!!

Hey Everyone, Yesterday I was walking my dog when I came up with a new twist on a old fairy tale. I was thinking of doing a new Alice in Wonderland Story. A story about Alice, an elderly woman in a mental hospital telling these stories of her when she was a little girl in wonderland. I figure the story could be made into a much more darker and horrific tale that still has that beautiful magical flare that the enchanting old story possessed. I really think this would be an interesting twist on Alice in Wonderland since every one seems to want to keep her young and innocent. Why not let her grow up? Have children of her own or end up alone? Why not let her be a insane old woman who never knows whats going on? A story narrated by Alice about Alice. I think that would be an awesome story to take on. Now, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this Alice and Wonderland twist. I've never done anything like this before and I'm defiantly going to do some research from the old books
