Sylvia's DeWrMo 30th November

Or December Writing Month

Pretty Pathetic, what I've written so far:

Title: The Silver Dragons [series title]

1. Introduction:

It was too soon, she thought. They were still young. How was this possible? Wasn’t this much too cruel? Today they worried about friends and school, but soon they would have the safety of an [albeit small] world on their shoulders.

And soon she would give one, if not all of her three children’s innocence away to protect a world that 99% of the world doesn’t know about. Was it fair? Of course it wasn’t. Her precious children, forced to become adults? No.

But they have no choice. Like she had no choice.

She remembered the day she first got exposed, like it was barely yesterday, although it was nearly 30 years ago.

“Carmen.” a voice echoed down the hall, “Carmen, I need to talk to you.”

I.E., including title, 135 words, according to Word.

I figured out, that every day I have to write 1667 words.

And that if I plan to do the 100 themes, then each theme will be 500 words, and I'd have to do 3 and a bit each day.

So far, it's not working. OTL.

1/30

My Writer's Month: December, because November is impossible

Why can't we have it in like January?! That whole month is holidays!!

I'm going to try and write the whole 50, 000 words from today, November 30th to December 30th.

Try being the key word.

I'm going to be doing scenes from the story-that-has-been-stuck-in-my-head-for-9ish-years.

It's kinda hard, because I've had it all sorted out, each arc as such, even in the future, I have the final battle panning out with a lot of different scenarios here.

It's hard also because I don't want to start from the beginning, because all the stuff I've thought of now is the stuff I want to write, if that makes sense.

So yeah, snapshots it is :D

Also, I'm going to follow the 100 themes challenge here:

http://100themeschallenge.deviantart.com/blog/33698666/

Hell, if I can, I'll do all 5 variations.

But I really doubt it.

We'll see.

Happy Birthday Dove!!

xD You're OLD now MUAHAHAHAHA.

And it is still pronounced VY-TAH-MINS not VI-TAH-MINS.

Because it comes from the word 'vital' and you don't pronounce 'vital', 'vittel' rhyming with 'little'.

We still need a Halo marathon. D:

Well, enjoy your day, don't put Jam on a Magnet, become one with Mother Russia and all the rest of it, and yeah, that's about it :D

~Sylvia

It's a Beautiful Day [or really night]

And I'm listening to U2 Live from my bedroom window. I can like hear the concert, bit muffled, but pretty good.

Shame I don't really know many of their songs.

"In the dark of the moment"

that's what I can hear at moment.

Can't really hear the words. It like fades in and out.

I actually know this song.

I just can't remember what it's called.

Vertigo's now playing.

I swear its one of the few U2 songs I can sing the whole entire chorus to XD

So...

Hi.

Mariko wants me to do a blog post, so I'm doing a blog post.

Yeah man?

2 weeks til holidays!!!

We're burning chips in Science.

[Not just any chips. CHICKEN CHIPS!!!!!! -Mariko]

[It's CRISPS NOT CHIPS -Louisa]

[*insert arguing here*]

[we looked up chips and crisps. Technically the same, chips are both hot chips and potato chips. Crisps are just potato chips. But we're in NZ, so technically chips are chips. And crisps just don't exist.]

Moving on...

-Mariko likes Pandas. And Ninjas. And Segways. And Justin Bieber's shoes.

-Louisa is a Pom. Etc. etc.

[Mariko said that.]

-Jam. And Toasters. You just don't put jam on a magnet. And socks in a toaster.

Why?

Because Jeff says so.

[IDK who Jeff is]

-P.E. is annoying.

The sooner its over, the better.

Gives everyone a headache.

Aiyah.

-Yo mama. [Mariko]

-*Awkward Laugh*

-Um... Yeah.

-Science needs to end. We can't do anything because WE DON'T HAVE THE CHIPS.

Yeah.

Doing an Angel and doing this again

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

There's some pretty weird stuff on my iTunes, and my iTunes is a mix between my old library and Angel's so yah.

Songs:

Opening Credits:
Satellites -September. Love this song.

Waking Up:
Seventeen Forever -Metro Station. Ok. In the mornings I'm seventeen? Cool.


First Day At School:
One Minute -Kelly Clarkson [I would believe this would describe the car trip to school taking a much shorter time than it should.]

Falling In love:
Broken -Seether ft. Amy Lee. Ok, so we love each other cos we're like both depressed or something? Oh dear.

Fight Song:
Poker Face -Lady Gaga. I could see this working.

Breaking Up:
Fall Into Me -Hey Monday. This, however, I could not see working.

Prom:
Let This Go -Paramore


Life's OK:
Stay Close, Don't Go -Secondhand Serenade. Ok. Right.

Mental Breakdown:
Can't Get Over -September. Um... Ok? I can't get over whatever I'm obsessing about.

Driving:
Should've Tried Harder -Hey Monday. Should've tried harder on my driving test? Dammit.

Flashback:
The Bird and the Worm -Owl City. NO.


Getting Back Together:
Going Under -Evanescence. You sure we're not actually breaking up?


Wedding:
If No One Will Listen -Kelly Clarkson. Somehow, I don't think this would suit.


Birth of Child:
In the Dark -Flyleaf. Well I suppose the baby's in the dark.

Final Battle:
Let The Flames Begin -Paramore. Oh yes. Definately. Well, this is a bajillion times better than Love Story as my Final Battle Song.


Death Scene:
Einsamkeit -Germany Character Song. It means 'loneliness' so I believe it fits.


Funeral Song:
Pechika~ My Heart Has A Light -Russia Character Song. Um... maybe?



End Credits:
My Immortal -Evanescence

After Credits Twist:
Runaway -Avril Lavigne. I think that's a pretty cool twist :D

I'm happy with this. Well majority of it.

Re: Weird Dream

This is like a reply to this:

http://inspirationkill.blogspot.com/2010/11/weird-dream.html

Having vivid dreams runs in the family. I think.

I wrote notes about it at around 2 am at night, so it may not make as much sense as it should. So this is a mix of the notes and my thoughts on this that I made up just now.

It's my 2nd Hetalia dream. Kinda weird.

There are 2 warring nations/2 opposing sides/main army and rebellion.

Ivan [Russia] is from one of them/rebellion side.

Alfred is part of my family. This is me, mum, dad, Mic and grandma. Which is weird, cos I'm not American.

We live in my grandma's house, or more a really modern/futuristic version of her house.

Other agents/army from enemy army [against Ivan] going to capture our family to make [?] guns.

Alfred finding Ivan to help in base. Wut? That makes no sense Sylvia-of-the-past.

I think he finds Ivan in a base and convinces him to help us.

Ivan says he will spread all these clue cards around for him find so its like Alfred doesn't know who Ivan is.

So even in my dreamworld, Ivan likes torturing Alfred's patience? Right-o.

I think what this means is that so the people on the enemy's side doesn't think we are on the other side, or well, we support it, but aren't in deep in the other side. I think Ivan is in deep on the other side, and a fairly important agent. So, it's just some anonymous helping our family to not get caught, rather than some high ranking agent.

Yes, this doesn't make sense. It's my dreamworld. Nothing makes sense.

On a side note, I think I smell broccoli.

Sorry. Continuing.

Ivan shows Alfred the cards. Ok?

Alfred starts to find the cards everywhere. Wait, Alfred and me are the SAME PERSON?! That actually makes sense in this dream. [wow, Sylvia, you were really thinking clearly that night. *sarcasm raised so high that I can actually feel my arm float up in zero-gravityness.* Don't ask]

I think what I meant was that there was no point of view changes, and I can't see myself/there is no one that I think represents me. Which usually happens, the point of view is from someone else, not myself. If that makes sense.

He's driving through *my suburb* finding clues. A guy [random] finds one and is all, "Hey this is for *insert my name here*" But Alfred is all, "Yeah, but I'm not up to there." What? Does he mean like, "He's not up to that point in the cards yet?"

The place outside the walking over-bridge [here comes the weird part] has [shallow] swimming pools, like fountains. Mum is there with me. There are a lot of kids in the other pools. I'm in the [shallow, up to my knees,] pool naked.

What. The. Hell. And I don't think I felt awkward. I mean, who has a dream where they are naked but don't feel awkward and panicky? Eh? Eh?

*cough* continuing.

My Mum sees all these kids from my old school [what?], including this really naughty boy from my old class and so I basically hide. I'm like half underwater, with my knees tucked up. [Yeah, and I'm totally hidden yeah. Like in a shallow pool in full view of the public]

[Back at the house, where somehow Mum and I [I think Alfred and I are 2 different people in this dream.] have gotten back to]The enemies are in the driveway. We all knew they were coming. Preparations for them in house. Ivan and Alfred to save us. All of us are in our best clothes [all in black, surprisingly] and we turn the answerphone/voicemail off. Wait, what?

Why?

Anyway, we go into lounge and sit on the sofas [the lounge is exactly like my Grandma's] and wait for the army to storm the house.

That makes no sense, we should have run when we could. No matter.

We are to distract the army so Ivan and Alfred can get a weapon [ready?] and help us escapt to Ivan's side/base/nation. The weapon they have a particle cannon.

Literal cannon which will end up killing them and inhabitants in house.

So wait, they've stormed the house, we've kept them busy, we've escaped, and now they have the particle cannon ready? Ok.

Ivan and Alfred charge the cannon on this platform which looks like something out of Halo with colours straight out of a Dane Rumble music video. Or something. Basically its black with dull neon spots of colour. Alfred muses its a bad idea [to fire the cannon], and he grabs a passing panicking Minion.

MINION. LIKE YELLOW WITH GOGGLES AND POSSIBLY VOICED BY THAT GUY OFF FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS [sp?] WHOSE NAME I CAN'T THINK OF AT THE MOMENT?

Hell to the yes.

Anyway, he grabs it, he stretches it [a Minion stretches?] and chucks it away [out of danger?].

They then get into the (charging, highly dangerous) cannon. [Which is stupid]

And then I woke up. By a bird which was making a beeping noise. That I thought was either

a) an alarm

b) the airconditioning.

OTL
