Snippets of Story- February

Friday, February 3, 2012


Hiya! Annika here. I found this lovely little 'Monthly Blog Thingy' as Kate from Whisperings of the Pen calls it through The Director's blog . You have to post snippets of things you've written, including fanfiction if you want, as long as it's your own. So, here we are:



"Roll call!" Ms. Polowski said in her gruff, biker-esque voice. Her beady eyes swept over the entire 7th grade English class, stopping on me briefly. For some reason, I was a trouble maker in her eyes, even though I was almost always framed or no one could prove I did whatever I was being accused of. It started in first grade, when someone broke one of the schools toys and blamed me. That teacher told another, the another, all the way up to  Ms. Polowski, 7th grade torturer extraordinaire . But you almost couldn't blame her. Even though I was far from a delinquent, I looked the part. Not extreme punk, but lots of black. On black. With black. Even my hair was black.- Zoe Knight, Night's Prophecy 

“Why is it so cold?” Victoire shivered. “My toes feel as if they’re made of stone.” She wiggled her toes in her boots for emphasis, even though no one could see.“You really are very childish for a twelve year old girl, do know that?” Agnès smirked.“Yes, and you are very serious for a seventeen year old girl. Now, answer my question: why is it so cold?” The girl’s breath came out in a foggy cloud.“It’s cold because the sun hasn't risen and it’s winter.” Victoire nodded, showing that her sister’s answer was satisfying. Even though she now understood why it was so cold; it didn’t really seem to make the crisp November air any warmer. She sighed, glancing at the gray winter sky and early morning fog.- Victoire Leroux, Victoire, a Novel 


“Hey, Carrot Hair!” Stella’s 16 year old brother Cameron teased her the moment she had crossed the threshold. He had called her that since she was eight; when his eighth grade English teacher had made his entire class read Anne of Green Gables.      “Hey, Tinsel Teeth.” She said, smirking at his braces.  Cameron went red in the face. He was very sensitive about his braces. “Oh yeah-!” he started, but was cut off by his sister, who was standing on the landing above them.  “Put a sock in it, Cameron,” Stella called down. “Come on up here, Rory.” - Rorina Stevenson-Homer, Time Traveling Tweens 






Thanks for reading! Even though I wrote some of this stuff in Summer 2011, I'd love some feedback :D

The Devil's Not In The Details- No, It's In the Characters

Friday, January 20, 2012

Okay, raise your hand if you're ever wanted to just sack your character(s). Yep, that's what I thought. But, lately, I haven't had this problem. I mean:

Marcie/Elle is docile as can be
Zoe is a nice girl when it comes down to it
A fanfiction OC of mine that's on a mission with the main characters has decided to stop bringing Chaos to her and my world. 

Something's up.

I mean, when is the last time writing has just gone perfectly for anyone? Don't bring up Jane Austen... I'm sure Elizabeth Bennet gave her heck...
My characters are playing nice in the sandbox. I can churn out 2K in a couple days with no effort. I know what to blog about. RPing is a lot easier. 

And now I know my characters are coming for me. Where's my fake mustache...
Okay, my vengeful characters aside, I'd like to say thank you to Ashley from The Epic Reader and Cheery-O for posting my anti-SOPA/PIPA button and blogging about :D 
...As you can see, I redesigned my blog. The other design was was a bit... unprofessional, so to speak? Yeah... I also learned how to center my banner, hip-hip-hooray!!!!

Well, Annika Elipton signing off! May the Force be with you :D
