Off tasky-ish-ness

I logged in today, eager to see how many people have looked at my page. I look at the graph. And my liddle ♥ just bweaks. 2 views :(

It hurts, Internet. I'm just trying to write a book, and show some people out there that not every teenager is stuck to texting Jenna about what Jerry said to Brad about Laura who talked about Ashley and Victor's possible baby.

Anyway, I didn't get around to writing the novel today, because I actually had to do work in school today. It was one of those rare days. However, I was forced to write a personal narrative (Non-fiction. Oh God, no) about things in my past. As much as I hated the assignment, my piece didn't turn out half bad. If you would like to read that, just slap it in your comment.

Weekly LAWL:

Yeah, this made me pee a little. Not only is J.J.'s face perfectly humorous, but the god-awful joke followed by it make me LAWL. I'm just a nerd. I stumbled upon this on FunnyJunk. It's like 4Chan without the disgusting porn. I have a profile on FJ, I think I'm BlargleBoy or some silly thing. Blargle, Blah, Derp, and Doodle are my exasperation words. No, I don't know why.

I figured it was about time that I shared some music with you, since I'm more picky about my music than Donald Trump is about god-awful hair pieces. When writing, I usually listen to this little hippy-looking band called Fleet Foxes.

You may have heard of them, as their newest album was critically acclaimed. But their self-titles album is just freaking beautiful. You will listen to White Winter Hymnal a kagillion times, plus a couple other times. Just ask Brittany, my girlfriend. It may have been what drove her totally crazy, but I'm still trying to work that out. So many possibilities...

Tomorrow I shall have some word for you about the book or other projects. Also, be aware that I can't post the whole book on here. That being said, I most likely will anyway.

Before I tell you to enjoy this little short-story I'm about to post (stop telling me to take out the Trash, Mom!),  I'd like to ask for your help in promoting my Blog once again. Pretty please.

Enjoy this short story!

♥, Me

Alternate Prologue (Bonus!: Rambling!)

Today, after writing most of the third chapter, RE-WRITING the ending half of the second chapter AND beginning on a personal narrative (EW.) for my Creative Writing class, I also sat down and wrote an Alternate Prologue that my Co-Author, Blondie, suggested to me. It's not as long as he likes, but I've never really liked long prologues. It's like eating Captain Crunch before it's properly soggy. It cuts the roof of your mouth and makes you wish that milk worked quicker on those delicious yellow squares of deliciousness.

And yes, I know I said I'd put the second chapter up today. I lied. I do it a lot. S*** happens.

This prologue is more dramatic and sweeping, and is in 3rd person omniscient. I hope you guys will like it. If you think it's better than the original, let me know! I'll try to set up some kind of poll on my page for those of you too lazy to give feedback in earnest, but still nice enough to let me know something.

Also, today I discovered that 1 page of M.S. Word text is averaged to about 2 pages in an actual book! That's encouraging.

While trying to find Blogs of note to follow here (if you know of any, tell me about them!), I stumbled upon this thing called +Blogger. I have no idea what the point is, but they were talking about comment moderation and commenting etiquette. I count myself lucky if ANYONE sees my Blog, let alone comments.

ANYWAY, the main point I brought it up is because they said it was easier to accomplish long term goals whilst blogging about it. Blogging. What an odd verb... So I've decided to do just that. I am writing a novel, deciding which College to go to (U. of L. or N.K.U.), and sticking to P90X. The last has made me so sore I swear my name is FitzHerbert and I'm 98.

Also, I am turning into an avid reader! Best books ever happen to be the King Killer Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss (shown to me by Blondie, who reads about 100 or so books a year). They are just. Ugh. They're beautiful. I strongly suggest reading them, even if you don't like fantasy. I just finished the Farseer Series by Robin Hobb, and I am still angry about the ending. So. Angry... Now, I am starting Eragon. I know I'm a little late, but I've been told that they're very good books. If you can't tell, I ADORE fantasy, and don't really like to read much of anything else. I ABHOR non-fiction. Fiction=ADORE, Non-Fiction=ABHOR. Know the difference. If you have any suggestions, let me know and I will add them to my list of books to read, which I will add to my blog page A.S.A.P.

Here is a link to Pat Rothfuss's Blog: Pat's Hysterical and Nerdy Blog

If you liked the Lord of the Rings books or movies, or if you loved the Hobbit, read his post about it. Because you'll pee. Guy's hysterical.

Kvothe, the main Character of the King Killer Chronicles. Also, a total BadA**.

In order to get an autographed book form Pat, I drew a picture, entirely made of words, of the picture you see above. I will post that picture as soon as I get it back.

Anywho, the point of this post: Alternate Prologue!

Help spread the word of this Blog, comment, and Enjoy!

I May Break Something.

Storm of obscenities.

I saved the finished second chapter to the my U drive at school. And not to my hard drive. Which means: No freakin chapter 2.

Facepalm.

 Ugh. It's called Fledgling, and it recounts when Harowhin first tries to change into an owl. But since he is a mixture of Sre'Caill and Human, he can only spawn talons and wings he cannot flap. How are these useful? You'll see.

I may or may not start chapter 3 tonight, Strangers, if I can curb my anger. Otherwise my monitor will end up with my size 13 foot jutting out the backside of it, and that's usually not good for technology.

So, I suppose I may as well inform you of some things about the story. Well, more specifically, songs. Songs are going to be an important power in the world. When you sing a song correctly, you feel the power welling up, and at the finish it releases. This isn't some kind of gust of wind thing. This is like a thunderclap that will turn your front gate to splinters and make your mommy cry for her mommy. They're going to be pretty epic.

Also, songs will contain histories and other things, like in the end of chapter 2, Tayeth sings to Harowhin:

Koya, gold, and ashen-berry

Makes a strong man from wary

Lotus, hoss and eagle oil

Makes a treas'nous man loyal

Things like that. Keep in mind that not all songs have great powers. If a song is ended and released early, it isn't as powerful. Imagine that thunderclap making you sneeze. The reason that these will be a great element is that they aren't silent, which doesn't help most of Harowhin's activities (which involve stealth). 

I'll stop blabbering. Chapter two, up tomorrow. Promise. If I'm alive.

This here:

Is an Adam extractor from the Bioshock series. My friend and Co-Author, Blondie, has offered to make me one. If I buy 2 ancient gas pumps. 

I'm tempted, but seeing as Panera bread hasn't called me back yet, I'm still jobless and have no gas in my car! Can you see the smile on my face?!

Speaking of Bioshock, Bioshock: Infinite has me all jazzed up. If you haven't read anything about it yet, you have to. It's going to be totally different.

Bioshock: Infinite Official Website

It looks steampunk (which I am totally obsessed with) and colonial. You can smell the awesome, like bacon cooking.

Now, I have to go and eat my ravioli before my stick of a sister voraciously chokes it down. 

Never ever touch a man's food.

@ever.

Chapter One: Scavenged

This is the first chapter in the book, in which Harowhin goes into how he was found and talks a bit about how he was found, and Tayeth (his "mother") tells the legend of the Old Gods and how the Islands and the Sre'thesu came to be. I WILL BE EXPANDING THAT LEGEND TO BE AN INDEPENDENT CHAPTER at the discretion of my friend Blondie, basically the Co-Author and a good friend of mine. 

Also, remember that this is the first draft of the chapter. 

Comment and enjoy!

2 Days In And I Already Bollocksed It Up

I did, I did. The post title refers to the link I left in my first post. I am not trying to learn that crappy version.

This is the right one: Correct Skyrim Theme Song!

Also, I am not British. Unfortunately... I mean a LOT of great things have come out of the U.K.! Muse, James Bond, and the reinforced ideology that you don't have to have human teeth to be loved. Really, the only bad thing they did was try to introduce their own cuisine.

"Would you like some fish and chips?"

"No thanks, I've already had diarrhea."

I always misspell diarrhea. Then again, it really shouldn't be a common word in your... anything. I apologize if it is, I assume you're some kind of doctor. Hopefully...

ANYWAY, I worked a bit more on Harowhin's Story today. By that I mean I added a sentence or two. I couldn't really concentrate. I never can on sunny days. It doesn't have to do with the fact that I want to prance about a meadow in a sundress or something. It just hurts my head, a lot. And makes everything seem picturesque and disgustingly quaint. Blech.

Let's see, let's see. Upcoming events? Well, hopefully, Panera calls me back. I need a job, otherwise I'll have to turn to thievery. I mean, I wouldn't get caught or anything, my sneak is 100, just check my Skyrim file. But it contradicts my morals.

FAFSA form needs filling out, but I just can't bring myself to paste my name a million times into indistinguishable lines. I should have been born when a goat and a fat pig would get you into college. Then again I'd probably end up studying how to hunt witches. But I watched Monty Python's Holy Grail, so I suppose I'd be a genius.

That doesn't sound too bad.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this delightful young guitarist on the Interwebicons. Here is a link to her site:

Malukah!

More specifically, the link leads to her covers of various bard songs from Skyrim, which I have been listening to incessantly.

I think this guy likes Skyrim...

Thanks Jim Gaffigan, for that high pitched trolling woman that is now a permanent denizen of my brain...

Moving on, I need to mention my newly created Twitter account, which I despise in and of itself. However, it's actually a pretty nifty newsfeed when you don't follow any REAL people.

Da link: TremoloBanshee on Twitter!

If you love my background image, I got it from Wallbase. If you need to kill a few hours, and don't mind scrolling past the obscure anime reference every now and then, check it out.

I think I'll end this post here. Tomorrow I'll post the other complete chapters from The Novel for you guys to read through. Side note: I would much appreciate your help in getting others to follow this Blog. The sooner I have more readers, the sooner the whole thing gets more fun for everyone. The hundredth follower will get a digital moose from yours truly.

If you were to lazy to check out my Twitter Link (charlatan!), this is the background image I rambled about.

Sampler, kiddies!

This is the Prologue to Harowhin's Story.

Before you go and bash the crap out of it, keep in mind that it's first draft. I have the first 2 chapters and the prologue right now, and will go back for a heavy editing when I have 5 sections in all, which is rather close.

Can't decide if excited or not...

Anyway, feel free to ask questions! You will need to if you want to comprehend anything at all in the story. I will probably blog an overview shortly, but I just want a bit of my work up so you can glean a bit of my style.

Remember, ask questions! I will gladly answer. In your comment put a short hashtag to address you by because I'm a lethargic dude.

Enjoy:

Hello There!

Well, here I am again. This is a WHOLE NEW BLOG!


Blow your party whistles everyone!

Anyway, I've decided to lay a lot out on this blog... well, eventually. I will share with you music, literature, funny events, and thoughts. Plus a million other things. And maybe some impulsive rambling...

Before this whole deal gets kicked off, I'd like to thank you if you're truly reading this. It's human to get all warm and tingly at someones attention I suppose.

So, what am I up to at the moment? A fair amount of posts to this blog will pertain to my Novel, which is untitled at this time, so I'll probably refer to it as THE NOVEL or HAROWHIN'S STORY. I at least named the main character.

Also, I will figure out a way to share with you my slow learning of acoustic guitar songs. I'm trying to learn this AMAZING version of the Skyrim Main Theme right now, and will try to keep you all updated on that.

'Tis a link: "Skyrim" Main Theme on Classical Guitar

I've been told I hate paragraphs. I suppose that is true, seeing as all of these are midget paragraphs... digression.

I will share cool things I discover on the Internet that I think everyone should see, which is a lot of things, because I'm what some may call slightly narcissistic. It wont be that big of a problem, promise.

I suppose you'll see what this whole thing is about in the days to come, and until then, it would be much appreciated if you spread word of this blog to your friends!

Thank you very much, future audience.
We'll become very familiar with each other, and I mean that in the least creepy way possible. Sincerely. Really. Not creepy.

Here's a nifty picture for you: (which I will probably spam you with often)
