Day One [30 Day Blogging Challenge] + Writing Snippets

Hello, everyone! The weather has been cloudy, rainy, and just generally awful to go outside in so I decided to do…...The 30 Day Blogging Challenge. It’s been out for…...quite awhile. I know Emma from www.wack-a-doodle-dolls.blogspot.com did this challenge.. So Day One is to write 20 facts about myself. I’ll try to do ones that you guys wouldn’t already know.
1: I could live off of carrots
2: My favorite dessert is either chocolate-chip cookies or donuts
3: My favorite colors are pale pink, all shades of purple and blue, grey, white and green
4: When I decide something…..it’s useless to argue with me. I’m pretty stubborn
5: My grandparents gave me my first Bible
6: I love making YouTube videos but I don’t like watching them very much
7: I’m very tall for my age. Like really tall
8: I don’t like drawing and painting but I like sewing decently well
9: Besides dolls I love stuffed animals, LEGO and toy weapons
10: My favorite number is anything ending in 9
11: Last summer my favorite book was The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants. It’s still a good book but not my favorite anymore
12: If I was a fictional heroine I would be either Abby Sciuto from NCIS or Kara Thrace from Battlestar Galactica [solely based on personality]
13: I don’t like avacados
14: I like lacy boots
15: I really want to learn karate
16: If I was a fictional villain I’d be Carla Baxter from Burn Notice
17: I learned how to swim in less than a month
18: My biggest pet peeve is when people micromanage me. It’s SUPER annoying
19: I have a really loud laugh
20: My favorite type of jewelry is necklaces [even though I have the hardest time taking them off]
Now here are some snippets of my next writing project. I haven’t figured the whole thing out yet but I know it is a fanfiction, which may end up as a crossover [I’m also writing a movie script. And of course I want that movie to be a real movie because while writing is great acting is my biggest passion, and if I could only pursue one career it would be acting]. I’m using ‘he’ and ‘she’ instead of the character’s names because I don’t want to spoil anything. Here are a few snippets. Let me know what you think:
I pounded on the door, waiting for him to open it. I shivered, the rain soaking through my clothes, and onto my skin. Someone finally opened the door, and I collapsed on the ground.
I could feel a pair of eyes boring into my skull. I slowly turned around, trying desperately to be careful. Everyone was the enemy, now. Trust no one.
His blood was now on my hands but I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to leave a partner alone to die. That’s not how I worked. Especially this partner.
I rolled my eyes. ‘’Honestly were you raised in a barn or something?’’ ‘’Does a cabin in the woods count?’’ he asked.
I tilted my chin. ‘’I don’t need someone to educate me in how these things work,’’ I said. ‘’I know. Trust me, I know.’’
A thundering crash sounded from outside. He raced for the door, just as lightning struck again.
‘’You need to leave,’’ he said. ‘’Not without you,’’ I said, crossing my arms, stubbornly. ‘’You have to,’’ he said. ‘’You have to or you’ll die.’’
She was thrown backwards. I ran forwards, then stopped, wincing in pain. ‘’I’m fine,’’ she said, pressing her palm against her forehead, where I was sure she’d have a nasty bruise.
I twisted my bracelet, back and forth. This didn’t make any sense. Questions ran through my brain. Questions I couldn’t answer. I wasn’t really sure who could.
That’s all for today. What did you guys think of the snippets? What are some interesting facts about you?

Running Wild in Impractical Outfits Tag

 Hello!  Elizabeth  tagged me for this, and I've been super excited about filling it out. Thank you so much! The Rules -Put a link to her blog,  Autumn Ink - Put a link to your post in the comments section of the original post -Tag people if you want to -Have fun with this tag, and feel free to add things, change locations, or whatever you want -The outfits you choose can be from anywhere you like [movies, books, TV shows, real life, etc.], and they can be as practical or as impractical as you want. Choose with as much flagrant disregard or custom for the rules as you choose.  -You have to bring a different fictional character of your choosing to each location. At The Beach Well, if I were at the beach, I'd probably want to wear a swimsuit, wouldn't I?  I'm not really sure what specific type of swimsuit I'd like, though. Probably just something similar to what I have.  This one is just a picture of a model, but I like the style. I would wear something ...

If I Was A Fictional Character [Tag]

Image
 Hello there! Random Buffy GIF just because.   Sam  did this tag on her blog, and I asked her if I could do it, and she said yes.  This looks like it will be a lot of fun. *rubs hands together gleefully* Share a snippet that includes a description of their appearance: She's flopped out on her bed, furiously typing up a blog post on her laptop. She's tall, and athletic looking with very long legs. She's dressed casually in ripped jeans [she didn't buy them ripped. They just happened to rip while she was wearing them, and they're her most comfortable pair, so she keeps wearing them], a mint green hoodie, and socks with llamas on them. Her hair is medium-length, wavy and light brown with blonde streaks/highlights. Basically my hair is like hers, only longer. Her favorite feature is her eyes. They're dark brown, and usually hidden behind glasses.  She has a small and wide nose, thin eyebrows, and a huge grin.  She's not sure if she's pretty or not, but she l...

In Which I Talk About My WIP

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, during my semi-hiatus, I did get to do a little more writing than usual, so I thought now would be a good time to talk about my WIP. So, here we are. I stole   borrowed this tag from Christine's blog. Technically, you're supposed to do it doing NaNo, but I'm doing it now.  What first sparked the idea for this novel? I'm not....totally sure. I know the idea first came to me in November 2020. It came from me wanting to write a book with magical powers, and I've always liked elemental magic, so that's sort of how it got started. Originally, I'd imagined it as a TV show, actually, and it was just a fun idea to play around with in my head, but then I ended up tweaking it a little, and it's now it's a whole novel. Share a blurb [or just an overall summary if you'd prefer]? I think I'll probably just give a summery, honestly, because that's easier. It's summertime. For most high schoolers. that means swimming, a nice...
