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!
