Imagine the dead of night on a Monday...


Well, technically, it's a Tuesday. At 3:38 in the morning. And I have to work until 10:00 tonight. Oh, the joys of being a teenage semi-insomniac.
I say "semi-insomniac" because I still can get to sleep most nights. Maybe.

Anyways, you can call me Hatter. I'm 15, live in the Not-So-Frozen North of Southern Ontario, Canada, and I'm a Pegasister (female Brony).
Yes, I watch My Little Pony. It makes life about 20% cooler.
I love reading and writing. I learned to read (and how to hide the fact I could read) at about the tender age of four, and have devoured every scrap of literature I could get my hands on since. I'm the proud owner of the Zombie Survival Guide, Brisingr, and Dracula, as well as many other classics ranging from the Lord of the Rings series (excluding The Hobbit, though I've read it at LEAST three times now) to Alice in Wonderland. I guess if I could describe myself with one word, it would be "bibliophile" (noun. a lover of books).
I'm a little bit... prone to "verbal diarrhea", as several of my teachers over the years have put it. More politely put, I'm verbose, chatty, talkative. A thesaurus is anyone's best friend. In fact, I've frequently entertained the idea of gifting those in my classes with them, along with dictionaries to a select few (I've had to define the word "unique" to two girls in my Drama class once, needless to say I wasn't very impressed with their vocabulary, or lack thereof).

I'm currently working on a story with no title as of yet. It's about a girl named Peya and her two friends, Zak and Indigo, who are struggling to maintain control over a collapsing society after a mass zombie outbreak across their small, currently nameless country. Peya is still quite young, only seventeen, and she feels confused and unsure of her abilities as a leader. With no aid being sent from anywhere else, due to the isolation her country is in from the rest of the world and the ignorance from other countries about this tiny island-country, the zombies are kept from spreading out, but all the people are trapped from within. Needless to say, it's going to be fun to write.
You know, once I get past the first few pages.

Anyways, expect many rantings in here about not having the time to write. As I mentioned, I work a part-time job at a grocery store packaging produce AND I'm trying to get my edumacation. Add a fiddle, a social life, and my love of reading and video games to the mix, and I'm surprised I have anything done at all.

I hope to stalk read all of your journals as well at one point or another, and get to chat with everybody about their stories, life, or love of Fluttershy.

Bless your face!

Hey, thanks PMS. (^-^)

I recently created an account on www.getyarny.com
I guess it's pretty cool. Basically, you write your story and it automatically saves it to the Cloud. You can even write in "snippets", which is nice for organizing chapters and stuff. (Very articulate of me, I know. I'm just tired from working late last night, is all. Also, don't mind any lackage of "G"s. My keyboard gets this idea sometimes that it's ok to do annoying, stupid things to me on occasion.)
I've yet to write anything on the actual website, of course, I still have everything on paper, but I do look forward to using it once I stop being so lazy.

Not much to report or do today. I need to finish writing down the rest of what I did at church last Sunday (shaaaaaaaaame!) and then...
I'm a bit stuck as to what to do next.

In other, less depressing (sort of) news, I'm watching the new Hunger Games movie with my friend later today. I wasn't fond of the series, especially the last book, but I'll go, if only to laugh at the state of modern teen literature and its relationship with Hollywood. Don't get me wrong, I'm probably one of the biggest HP fans alive (RosePotion83 on Pottermore. I have one of the Beta accounts!), but Twishit (pardon my language here) and now the Hunger Games...?
Sorry, but no.

Depressed at the state of literacy in authors and teens alike,
~Hatter

I hated Twilight, but I have to admit, The Hunger Games got me. I mean, the second and third novels I liked less, but I loved the concepts of the first novel. ninja *shot*

Get typing up that writing, missy!

The novel I've been talking about has been (permanently) temporarily placed on hold for me to better plot out my NaNovel. It's about a girl named Suzanna (though most of her friends call her Zanna) who leads a fairly average life. Average grades, average looks, average family. Sure, she's a little anti-social, but she goes to church on Sundays and is pretty good at pretending not to despise her brother's new girlfriend. There's one odd thing about her though, she reads the tarot in secret and only her brother knows, using the information as blackmail material. In the story, Zanna starts finding La Papessa (the High Priestess card, 2nd Major Arcana in the tarot deck) in odd places everywhere she goes, and slowly her secret is becoming more and more difficult to keep.
The tale is going to focus on Zanna's secrets and lies, which she uses to cover up other secrets and lies that are the only things holding her world together, and her attempts to save herself and her family from some "awful something" that the cards constantly warn her about in each reading she does, no matter who it's really meant for.
I have a feeling that this story will be way better than last year's NaNo, and I'm hoping to win it this year.
