Colorado Part 2

On Friday we went on a long bike ride through the mountains

The Lonely Mountain;)

I loved the rock walls alongside the roads

A stunning view from the bike trail

a flowing stream

a raging brook

Lily and I

I just really like this picture of the bike and the rapids

the company stopping for bathroom breaks

"Hi there!" 

another 'lonely mountain'

"Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence," Isaiah 64:1 

That night, our cousins came over to our condo for dinner and games

 

Daddy grilling us some delicious hamburgers and hotdogs

Saturday afternoon, Dad, Lily, and Uncle Doug, and I went white water rafting.  I think it was my favorite thing on the whole trip!  It was so fun:) 

Here are our lovely wetsuits=D

Colorado Part 1

We went to Colorado on Thursday for a week and I took lots(tons) of pictures so please bare with me.  'Bare With Me' should've been the name for my blog;)  I'm going to be posting the pictures of each day's events.

 We had to wake up at 5:00 am.  Let's just say that I don't adjust early...well, if I have to I can, but most of the time I wake up early I don't want to adjust.

 Here's a funny story.  We leave the house and have to stop for a bathroom break five minutes after leaving and only a block away=D  haha!

I was so happy that our cousins got to join us on this trip.  It's funny 'cause both of our families were planning on going to Colorado for a family vacation separately and then we figured out that the other family was going also.  And then we found out that our condos were only a block away from each others.  God planned that out perfectly!

 The sun on the fog was so gorgeous that morning

 SUBWAY!

 One does not simply 'not' eat nutela whilst traveling;)

 a storm headed our way

 we drove through a tumble weed storm.  It was an interesting experience.

 "I want to see mountains again, Gandalf!  Mountains!" -Old Bilbo

 I loved the cliffs that hung over the roads

 gorgeous scenery!

 did I mention I liked the cliffs? ;)

 Our home/condo where we stayed was by a lovely, dazzling stream

 a quaint little walk way

MOUNTAINS!!!

Part 2 will be coming soon:)

Oops!

Alright, I was just informed of a mistake that I did.  On the picture of my last post, the picture of the front and back of the The Kingdom of the North, I didn't put Leah's name in the 'author' section.  Well, it was late when I did this and I was tired so please just imagine that Leah's name is there.  Thank you.  Leah you have given me so many awesome ideas and I love them!

My Books

Here is the first look at my story that I've been working on for two years.  It's called, "The Silent Seeker", as shown in the picture.

This is the prologue and it tells a little bit about my story.

If I ever published my book this is what the front and back cover would look like.

Yay!

more pages done!

even MORE pages done!  I'm actually on page 121 right now!

This is my map I made up for all of my stories I've written.  In the last post I said that Devin lives in Greenock Village.  You'll find it, near the right, in Faltenhime.

Leah and I are writing this book together

This is the back of the book

This is the front and back cover of the book if we ever published it.  The Kingdom in the North is located on the map in Halosmaya Village in Nurm.  I know that the village isn't technically in the north so I'm not sure how 'the kingdom in the north' happened;?  I guess the castle in the kingdom is facing the north.  The evil castle Alcazar is facing the south.

I just thought I'd share this with you since several of you have asked me about it:)

Awarded Maybe? ;)

Hey, so Megan awarded me...actually I'm not sure what she did to me...but she gave me a couple questions to answer...it's kinda like an award;)

Here are her questions for me.

1: What are you working on?

Well, I'm currently working on a book called, 'The Silent Seeker'.  I can't tell you much about it because I'm planning on blogging about it sometime in the future.  But I can tell you that it's a about a young man named Devin, who's seeking revenge on his uncle for killing his family.  It's in the medieval err.  Devin lives in Greenock village in the region of Faltenhime.  I'll show you a map of the region he lives in when I post about it.

2: How does your work differ from those of its genre?

Well, first off, because I completely made it up and I didn't copy anyone else's ideas.  Secondly, some of my scenes are based off of dreams that I've had.  Some of you might know this, but I've given Megan some scene ideas for her books, and some of those ideas are based off of my dreams.  

3: Why do you love what you write?

Because it makes my imagination bigger:)  Ever since I've started writing, which was probably when I was twelve, my imagination has gotten more imaginable=D

4: How does your writing process work?

Well, I don't really have a huge process, but I try to write my story whenever I have the time.  I try to go in order with writing the chapters but sometimes I get certain ideas that don't fit into the chapter I'm writing.  So, I just write my idea down in a different document and then bring it in to fit somewhere else.

I just got the twelfth chapter done of The Silent Seeker!  Yay!  Each of my chapters are around ten pages long.  Some of them are up to thirteen or down to six pages, depending on where there's a good stopping point.

Anyways, here are the questions for those I nominate: By the way, you ask the same questions for your nominees that you answer:)

1. What are you working on?
2. How does your work differ from those of its genre?
3. Why do you love what you write?
4. How does your writing process work?

1. Macie--Extraordinary 

I know that you just finished your book but I would still like to know about the process of your writing:)  

2. Darrion and Willow--The Call 

Darrion's has actually completed the first file, The Watchmen Flies, and is now starting on the second edition.  I love her car chasing, gun shooting, best friends action book!  It's modern but it's by far one of the best modern books I've read=D

Willow is in the process of writing a medieval tale called Friends and Enemies.  I would go check it out if you like the medieval times.  Even if you don't like medieval times, which I don't see why you wouldn't, she still has a wonderful book well written:)

3. Mad-E--The Stars Have Fallen 

I've have finally started to read her book but haven't gotten very far.  But so far it's really good:)  I can't wait to read all of it+D
