Well, this year we've learnt something...

That I'm a bad blogger!!!! And that feta and tomato bread is the best thing in the world.... Yeah, but I'm sorry bout, er, not blogging since.... april...

But things have been really, really, really buisy, and kinda scary.... well they're were exams on and stuff (schools nearly over!) and since the last post one of my friends got really seriously ill (brain surgery ill) and nearly died... yeh, so I've been pretty busy... But now she's well on the road to recovery and she's alive and I feel incredibly lucky- her being better is all that matters. :)

Well, yeh.

On a lighter note my puppy's eating a teletubby toy right next to me! Huh...

Promise to blog-.... Ah, I better not promise the same thing again... ;)

love

Kat xoxoxox

Weekly Sketch

Well howdy there folks! As you know, I'm not very good at blogging consitantly- so I've decided to start a little weekly thing that I must do....

The weekly sketch is born!

I love being creative and drawing, but the thing is I'm not actually very good at it- so hopefully if I draw a bit every week I'll improve! Yay!

So, heres my first little sketch to kick things off- two lil gals from the story I'm working on at the moment- Cherry and Leah!

(Sorry bout the light... its all dark here!) Well, I hope ma pics weren't to tramatisngly bad for you to look at!

Also, sorry about the awful swirly writing- it failed... I wish I could write in really fancy font like... Man, my font switch isnt working! :(

Coming soon- a certain lil albino dude from my story.... by the name of Odd.

Cheerio!

:) xx <3

Dear World....

Dear Blog,
I know, I'm sorry... I've broken a lot of promises these last few months, haven't I? I know I've given my attention to my puppy and not to you- and I'm sorry I've neglected you... But still, I'd really like to be friends again.
Sorry.

Regretfully yours,
Katharine

Dear Maths,
Lay off will you! You don't like me and I don't like you, so I think we should go our seperate ways and never speak again.

Angrily yours,
Katharine

Dear Messy Bedroom,
See above.
Someday I'll give you the makeover you deserve. But not now... Shoo shoo...

Unbotherdly yours, (yes, I know thats not a real word...)
Katharine

Hey Drama!
How ya doing? I know I haven't been paying you that much attention since the big show ended- but I'm working on my parents to let me and you be together once more in our duo! Would that be alright with you? Because I really think we have something between us!

Hopefully yours,
Katharine

Dear Mimsi Dog,
I know you can't help it- but pleaaaaassssseeee can you stop the constant scratching, barking and biting? Please!???!?!?!!??!!?

Katharine

P.S I think your cute though x

Dear WIP,
Will you marry me? Please don't give up on me now, with a bit of work- I think you could be a real jem- shinier than the one on the ring...

Tunefully yours,
Katharine

Dearest Readers,
If your reading this (which I don't blame you if your not) then Sorry. Again. This time I am going to write regualry on the blog!

Fiercly yours,
Katharine

Wow- long time no see!

Um, well... hiya! I'm back again! [not that you've probably missed my blabbering though!] If you care about this bloggy thing then sorry for not writing for, urm, a month and a half.
-blushes the brightest beetroot red ever seen- and I mean EVER!-
Please- no- don't through that mouldy old carrot at me! (do carrots even get mouldy? o.O) I have some excuses.....
Well, no. 1: I'm a school kid and my stupid school has introduced millons of 'Assess Pupils Progress' homeworks and tests, so I had a gazillion of them to do. Grrrrrr!
No. 2: I was verrry embarrased..... I epically failed at Nanowrimo.... :'( I mean- if I had applied myself I bet I could've done it (yes sir, really sir!) But with the dumb A.P.P's I started a week late, and in the end I only wrote for a week. I wrote 14,000 words though!
Yeah, I failed. Epically.
No. 3: It was my birthday on the 9th! ^.^ Now I'm thirteen- but I certainly don't feel like a teen! Teehee, when I was diddy I thought anyone older than nine was an ANCIENT old lady! Um, I'm an 'old lady' then.... :D

Hmmm, I just read ma reasons through, and they seem kinda lame....
- hands christmas cookies over grudgingly -
Christmas spirit? Goodwill? :B

Ohhhh, if anyones interested I've joined Inkpop! My sucky nano 'novel' is posted if you curious as to how atrociously bad my use of the english language is....

I promise I will write back soon!!!!

Merry Christmas!
Katharine :) xx <3

Nanowrimo and my constant laziness

Sorry for the lack of posts recently-I just haven't found the time recently. It still remains a mystery of why teachers set mountains of homework due in the day before half term starts... Is it just me, or is that kinda dumb?
Anyways, onto the subject of Nanowrimo, and me feeling totally and utterly unprepared. Me- the laziest writer in the world- write 50,000 words in what, 30 days?!?!
I don't even have a solid plot for my, uh, 'novel'. SOS! I have two charchters, a setting and a blurry cufumble of a story... oh- I've drawn them if that helps? No? *sigh* ok then...
Well, I'll keep you posted on my Nanowrimo novel throughout November. I bet that I will not finish it becasue, knowing me, I have laziness in my eyesss I tell you! I haven't written anything this week or done any homework or practised the flute or piano!
What I have done though is.... get a hair cut [so I can feel like a new, not-so-lazy person for the remainder of this year] got winter boots [I think they're too small -sob- Mum said it'd be pointless getting bigger ones because, well, they'd be too big!] and collected my sketchbook from the post office [which I am too scared to use unless I destroy it with my awful pictures!]
Yeah, so this is me at the moment! Lazy old me...

lazy bear hugs,
Katharine xxx

New WIP!

Yesterday I started a new project. I know, I know, my old story 'Daughter of the moon' has been shoved into the cupboard for now, but I can always go back to it, right?

Ok, my new WIP is called [working title] Elemental.

I have a good feeling about this one, and the characters have individual personalitys, which I think is a good place to start.

Also, the words keep flowing! [which is alllwwwaayysss good!] Yesterday I wrote 2,500 odd words, which is verry good for lazy old me.

Now, if you'd excuse me, and need to get back to it....

How are your WIP's going? ;-)

<3 hugs and kisses <3

The Cupboard

Is it just me, or does every writer have a space in the back of their mind where they throw their discarded characters into, and lock the door? [No, Katharine, its just you being lazy.... again.]

Well, in any case I have one, and I call it....
The Cupboard.

Many a character from novels [petty stories!] end up there, forced to battle against each other to win back my attention in order for me to carry on their story. [Like a sick, twisted game of checkers!] Between you and me, its getting pretty crowded in their!

Well, the first residents were Moon, Cedric and his family, a story that I wrote just over a year ago called 'Lemon and Lime'. [shudders...] I was 11, and going through my 'twilight' phase. Need I say any more? :P

Another Life. Oh my sweet, sweet labour of love. 80,000 words, and counting. I wrote it mainly in the first part of this year, and I'm ashamed to say that I 'couldn't be bothered' to finish it. [yeah, I realised it was a load of crap.] Quite a crowd got shoved in the cupboard from that book! Willow Hammond, Caleb, Arondray, Aravind [omg, I love him! Old little prune guy!] Belial [mutant squid/fallen angel kinda thing] Zanna, healing woman and Cheifie guy. Off they popped! [Willow and Moon HATE each other!]

My last confession... You know that WIP I mentioned in my previous post? I sorry to say that my dear, most recent characters may also end up in the bulging cupboard. Mizuki and Luke... The alien and the human...

Dear reader, can you see a pattern emerging here? I'm lazy. L-A-Z-Y. A lazy writer and a lazy person. I'm yet to complete a novel, sure, I've came close, but I've never quite managed it.

And I've started a new novel.... called Dragonlock.

What do you think I should do? Carry on with Daughter Of The Moon or Dragonlock? [or both? Theres a scary thought!]

Hugs and kisses,
Katharine

[Ooh, and I'm planning to draw a pic of the cupboard and show you's it!]
