All about Zoey Brianna Yang! (FEAT. Zoey Brianna Yang)

Hey people! This is my first time hi-jacking Carlye's blog and it won't be my last. Some of you guys wanted to hear about me, so I decided to do just that. Without further ado, I present:

Zoey Brianna Yang!


SPOILER!!!! I'm a ninja spy and work for the government. My mission right now is hunting down a dog that could be  a mole for a burglar. Wait! I shouldn't have told you that. Tell me were you live so I can hunt you down and give a memory eraser.


Selfie! I hang out a lot with Kit because she's awesome and crazy like me. We get along good.


Me trying to down a handstand. I love doing gymnastics as a hobby and when you're a ninja spy you have to be a good gymnast.


I'm very care-free and blunt. If I don't like Julie-Ann's hair, I'll tell her. I don't believe in giving people fluff. It'll help them better if I tell straight out. And I don't really care about what's gonna happen. We don't know what the future holds, so don't plan ahead. 


I don't care what people think about me, it's just a MOS. (That means a magerally opinionated statement) I shouldn't change because of what people think. I'm staying who I am and that's what you should do.

Now your mind is blown by my awesomeness.
Wait! Carlye is looking my way, gotta go. If you want to find more, go to the All My Dolls page.

You haven't seen the last of me.

 - Zoey

Am I a better blogger then Carlye?

It's Time!

I wrote my last words down in my flimsy, yet trusty notebook. 
The End.
Actually, I scrawled them down in excitement. Then I scribbled my excitement on down on the next page.
What I wanted to do was run and tell my family, but when it's one in the morning, that wasn't an option. So I settled for dancing in my bed.


I can't believe that I'm really finished all the scene outlining, character arcs, and everything in between.


It took, like, 3 or 4 months to plot and outline. But now the time has come to WRITE!!!!


I had my headphones on plugged into my MP3 player, with a playlist of 15 songs replaying over and over. I actually ended up tuning the music out, but whatever,


It was these 6 notebooks that gave me things to do when the power was out, or on the bus, or just at any random time.


That's a crumpled part of the typed up plot. Every time I finished a scene, I'd highlight what I'd finished.
At the end of the day, it was a bright colorful crumpled piece of paper.


Now, you'll get lots of noveling snippets during the writing. And I have to talk to my parents about Beta readers and Alpha readers. If you don't know what they are read this:
Beta readers: reads and writes down their suggestions after draft 1
Alpha readers: reads and writes down their suggestions while I'm writing it
So if you're interested in being one of those, comment down below. (I'll probably make a post about it later)

Funny thing, I'm always talking about my book, (it's a trilogy) but you have no idea what it's about. 
I got the idea from Madi, and it's about ninja. Here's the cover and the synopsis.


When Airi Yamashita, Erin's mysterious friend goes missing, it's up to Erin to find her. Teamed up with a fellow ninja-in-training, Erin treks through the forests of Japan to find her friend. But when Ti-su- a power-hungry man- escapes prison, the stakes are even higher. Erin and Hotisi are running out of options and time is slipping trough their fingers.

Does that sound like a good book? I think it does.
There is some fighting and minor violence. (Martial arts) 
There is no swearing or bad language. (I would get into trouble if there was)

That's all for today! Get ready for those long awaited snippets!

Pictures #2

It's time for more pictures! I don't have as many as last post, but yesterday I went out and took some pictures. I just couldn't help myself, it was so pretty.


This photo dates back to when it was snowing. The snowflakes were so light, I had to take pictures.


When I went to the American Girl store in Vancouver, I thought that a street scene would look cool. I was stared at, but hey, I got the shot.


I literally have no idea when this was taken. But honestly, it looks pretty cool.


Another snow shot.


I was walking down the road to the car, when I saw this awesome little park. So I broke into a run and started taking pictures. My sister held Jasmin up while my mom went to get the car. 


The wind was blowing hard and right after I got this picture, she fell flat on her face. Jasmin now has some new scratches, but they add to her character.


This was the "park" that I took pictures in. I think it ended up good.

That is all for Part 2 of Pictures. Sadly for you guys, there is still part 3. I'm trying to stop myself from taking pictures so I can catch up on photos.
I have lots of ideas planned for this blog, but I love your input.

Pictures #1

Welcome to round 1 of pictures! Strap yourself in for a wild ride!
I'm one of those people that love to take pictures, but never do anything with the pictures after. So, after half an hour of watermarking, I present:


Some of these pictures might be out of order. This was a random picture that I thought would look cool. I'm pleased with it, but it's kinda random.


Looks can be deceiving. It may look nice and warm and sunny outside, but believe me, it wasn't. This was taken while it was -3 outside. I was super cold, but the picture ended up good.


So here's the story, it was windy but I really wanted to get this shot. So I had the light reflector propped up against my leg, and I was trying to get a good picture while holding the doll. I ended up doing it, and then she face planted into the grass.


And this is my newest doll: Zoey Brianna Yang! She's so cute and I love taking pictures with her. Zoey is crazy and loves to have fun. She loves blasting music while 'practicing' her guitar, pulling pranks, and being wild altogether. She's open minded and ready to tell her opinion. This may sound crazy, but she looks good in pretty much everything I have, even this gross green vest. 


I don't really have much to say about this picture.


I think this picture is kinda like life. You have so many places to go and you aren't sure where or what path to take.


She was balancing on a tree branch that was above the garden and pavement. I still think it looks pretty good even if Isabelle was endangered during the photo shoot.


Let's just say that laying on the rocks isn't on the top of my bucket list. But I still can cross that off.


This is also a picture that is pretty similar to the next one. I just wanted to use the green grass and blue sky.


If you look closely, you'll see that my neighbors still have the lights up. They have them there still nailed to the house as I speak.

That's all the pictures I have for you guys. But I have some posts that I'd like to do. What would you rather read?
