A quick little note to say that I am still alive (spiritually anyway) and not dead!
As for me books, oh my dear niece, I hope you are happy. I've slaved away night and day and now, the manuscript is almost completed. As for publication, I have my eyes set on Vantage Press, Inc. which seems very promising. But, I want to work my way through until I have a contract with either Harper Collins or CandleWick Press.
However, thorough research has yielded a menagerie of "SCAM" alerts for Vantage Press. Until further research, I am not trusting this coporation... No offense to the workers there.
PFFT. JUST WENT AND DID RESEARCH. I'm sorry Vantage Press but you have a nasty reputation for getting authors to pay much only to give them back very little with half of the services you've promised.
Oh well! There goes that option.
Hmmph! Anywhom, the manuscript shall be edited by myself and two close English professors.
Until next time my sweets,
Adeline

Darn These Modern "Finals"
I guess the bad thing about inhabiting the body of a teenage girl in this modern world is that I must take her finals...
DEAR GOD! I WASN'T EVEN EXPECTED TO KNOW HOW TO READ IN 1829.
But I have risen high above the snobby standards of the Victorian era and I have conquered the modern world's expectations.
I have finished Part One of the Finals and it was extremely easy. MODERN WORLD. BRING IT ON!!!!

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
Macquire's (hopefully spelled correctly) book and my dear niece have motivated me to finally edit and get that final edition of "Gotherella" done and done. However, I may have to change the name for I now find it... Somewhat tacky and unoriginal. Not insult the people out there on the internet who uses the name.
Ahywhom, revised and rewrote two chapters of it completely and then went to bed and could not fall asleep until some hours in the morning. Ghastly caffiene! How dare you keep me awake! Especially with school tomorrow! AUUUUGGGGGHHHH CURSESSS!!!
Oh well. I started a Claimers for Planet 51 Characters on dA and I claimed General Grawl.
GENERAL GRAWL. YES YES YES YES YES!!! I had a very unfair advantage since I started the claimers but pffftt so did other people who started other claimers. (ha-ha, selfish time, I feel guilty.) But Grawl is such a funny and humorous character you cann't resist. He's stereotypically good looking, has that authoritive voice, and he holds a high rank in the army. But why is he so funny might you ask? Just his character is interesting and seriously, you can't take him seriously since he's not wearing pants. None of the guy aliens do. I think it's a either a sly political message or the animators found it amusing to make a three-star general pantless. Either way, I'm still laughing.
Off to go work on my book!
Toodles!

To Publish or not to Publish?
Normally I do not post TWO blogs a day but this is a serious situation! (serious to me at least, if you little buggers don't care fine by me!)
My little niece has called and reminded me that I promised to have my book "Gotherella" published FIRST. I have completely forgotten to be honest! In fact, I am working on another book whose title is F.O.T.H. until I think of a cooler/cheesier name. Eek!
Fine, for you my little niece. I will have Gotherella published first. God knows how! Good knows where that Gotherella file is on my computer!

Ah! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! You're only a daaaay awwwaaaay!!!
Woke up this morning, realizing I need to get my stuff ready for school this upcoming Monday. As I type, the printers are printing and the cows are mooing. Wait, let me rephrase that. The cows are cowing. Yes. Anywhom, I've got my project all typed up and ready to go for presentation (presentation meaning me singing in front of the whole class!) and my fingers prepped and ready for a long arduous piano session.
As an amateur singer I've always tried finding songs that are best suited to my voice. I guess I can compare myself to Demi Lovato since my voice and her's are in the same vocal range. But my voice is really difficult to control. Meaning, I often stray off the correct note paths and often my raspy jazzy voice takes over where I should be going "la-la-la" not scatting like a baby vamp on coffin varnish in the middle of a juice joint.
Vocal training and music studies aside, nothing much has happened around here in Lalala Land.
Toodles My Sweets!

Pickle Berry Ice Cream!
What is Pickle Berry Ice Cream? Hah! Silly litle blog reader! Pickle Berry Ice Cream is made of delicate Pickle Berries plucked from the ripest vines growing in the sour and smelly hills of Vinegarvania. And afterwards the Pickle Berries are mixed with fresh cream from happy Vinegarvanian cows and frozen in the ice ponds of the famous Vinegarvania River!! Hahahah! Just kidding! The cream is actually frozen in the English Channel :D
Pickle Berry Ice Cream aside, Blogs are funny! And every time I blog I will write something that's complete nonsense!
Anywhoooom, blogs are supposed to be about the blogger's day and what happened! And even though my life is tremendously exciting and almost too much to bear... I will spare you the rant and talk about how tasty strange food combinations are!
Tip of the week: DIP YOUR FRENCH FRIES IN KETCHUP AND THEN MILKSHAKE. AND SPREAD MAYO ONTO YOUR CAT. THAT'S ALL FOLKS :D
Toodle-loo! I'm off to milk the Vinegarvanian cows!
