News!
So I suppose you might have heard of the site Mibba that so many people are switching to. I wanted to try it because I mean, what's the harm? I tried it and I really do like it. Its really organized and if you take a second to think like a normal person instead of a Quizillian it makes perfect sense. lol=D
Here's a link to my account http://member.mibba.com/24668/ Please go and message me or leave a comment! Its crazy all this stuff you can do! Its loads of fun=)
It is actually much easier to get readers and people to talk to since its like a whole big commnuity, not like tiny subdivisions in Quizilla.
I will be posting on Mibba, probably more than Quizilla, because its a lot easier for me to put my writing up on that site. It makes more sense to me.
I'm not trying to hate on Q or anything like that. I like both sites, I think I just like Mibba more. I'm going to stay on both, so I just wanted to tell you I made an account, if you have one too, we should communicate!
If you don't have one maybe its time to spice it up a bit with a change, hehe=D

TO DELETE OR NOT TO DELETE!
Please before you read this post, know that I am not vain and upset I dont have a million people prasing my writing. I'm asking so that I will not upset anyone with what I am planning to do...or not to do.
Okay so, this is the question...Should I delete Running From Fate or not?
My story is not popular. It has gotten down to 8 people reading the last chapter, which I was very sad about. So if I delete it I wonder if anyone would really care...

(I love Anz for this banner, though=D)
In my mind, I dont think anyone would really care if it was gone, so my question really is...Would you care if I deleted Running From Fate?
In any case I will continue to post creations on Quizilla, but they most likely will be one-shots or short stories.
Please, message me or leave a comment or you can just check out my pretty homepage and leave something in the c-box.(you can always just leave messages telling me how much you love me too=P)
If I go unanswered, I will assume that I should delete my story.
If I get at least ten people asking for me to continue my story, I will. If not, you can say goodbye to Running From Fate and only hope it comes out in paperback in a few years. Haha, just kidding about that last part everyone=)

Update Dec. 3
Freshman year has been promising on its stress. 3 term papers. 5 tests. One week...
I literally would find enjoyment in stabbing every single last one of my teachers in the throat...Wow, not really...well, actually...
So, honestly I only have three pages full in my notebook of the next chapter of Running From Fate. I'm terrible sorry...blame it on satan's little helpers *cough, cough* my teachers...
Just a side note, my computer has finally been de-bugged, but still holds a grudge towards Word and Quizilla. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But, it always runs...really...really...slow.
And just to let you guys know, I hope that you enjoy the chapters that I do get up of my story, because I might have no other choice but to delete it before it is done. My mom has been getting more involved in my writing. Wants to find me an agent, get articles published...maybe even Running From Fate (totally vamped up with edits). All that jazz.
When summer rolls around, I might have to say goodbye to Quizilla. Or just the writing and publishing on it...I'm not really sure of anything to come...
Wishing for more hours in the day,
alguien

My own Thankful Box
I just updated Running From Fate, so if you enjoy reading my story, go check it out and tell me what you think. It took me forever to write it for some reason.
To all the people that have given me a simple compliment on my writing, you don't even know how much that means. So if I could thank you until my lungs fell out, I would.
So, I realize I am late on the whole Thanksiving holiday, but it is never to late to give thanks.
So for my Thanksgiving tradition in my family, we have a Thankful Box. (It kind of reminds me of a Valentine's Day box, since it is just a shoe box with a slit on the top of it.) My aunt made it up when I was young, so we just kept on briging it out each year untill it became a tradition and almost a running joke on how ridiculous it looks.
Nex to the Thankful Box every year on Thanksgiving we put a stack of little pieces of paper and a pen. Every person in my family, one by one through out the day will write down a few things and stuff it into the Thankful Box.
It is dificult to think of things to write when you are actually sitting in the chair and have the pen in your hand. Normally, I will put a few sarcastic thank you's in the box and be done with it.
And this year, I did the same.
But looking back on it, I know a few things I would change.
Maybe I am most Thankful for the thank you's.
The holiday of Thanksgiving is in its name. It is the time for giving thanks. How many times do you think about the things your a thankful for each day? How many times a day do you thank the people you should? Probably not enough.
Image you have a Thankful Box right in front of you right now, in the form of a computer screen.
What are you most thankful for?
In open arms,
Maddie

Weekends...
Weekends seem to be the only time I have to write. Weekdays are pacted with homework and caos, so I never have anytime to actually sit down and write a word.
Anyways, this is a fresh new weekend, which means more time to write=D
If anyone cares about the story I've written, the two mini stories will eventually be linked together. So, no, I'm not insane. Plus, vamps and spirits will be coming into the plot line soon=)
Besides, school and writing, I've had a lot of issues in my life that tend to take up a lot of time. The main one right now is my outlook on my faith.
I'm Catholic, but not technically by choose. I was born into this belief, so why should I say it's mine? I suppose I have a lot of things to be happy about, but right now I have many more to be depressed about.
I try to tell myself that luck helped me find the ten dollar bill on the ground, but I am blessed to have this life. I shouldn't feel entitled to anything better. Perfection is unatainable, but happiness is right around the corner...
I try to believe that God works in very mysterious ways and that's why I haven't seen any of his great works yet, but my faith seems to be getting more unstable with every passing second.
If anyone is going through something like this, it would be great to be able to talk to someone about it. But, I'm a really good listener too=)
In open arms,
Maddie
