NO! Not my title!!!

oh no!  I just googled "Written in the Stars" and it's like this rap song!  NOOO!!!
So, here are my options: let me know what you think:

  • Fire and Dreams
  • Let Go
  • Let Me Go
  • Never Give Up
  • Secret of Our World
  • A Little Place Called Keidreiy
  • Ilori
I shall do my best to explain the idea of my plot in a paragraph.  Here goes:
Halyn has always been the invisible girl in Cast Haven, Minnesota, so when the boy she's had a crush on since 6th grade starts noticing her, she's delighted.  He's really nice and even invites her to join his band Kafele.  He calls her Ilori, his treasure.  Then Halyn's dad comes back.  He abandoned Halyn and her mom for another woman when Halyn was only 3.  He comes back and tells her that she is worthless, fat, and ugly, completely destroying any sense of self - confidence she has worked so hard to achieve. Esteban comes over to see why she missed practice, and they end up getting kidnapped by a shapeshifting ball of fire known as a Caelestis.  They are taken to Keidreiy, a place full of wonders and insane creatures, that they are to be king and queen of.  But when Halyn is forced to go back to Earth, ... 

I really can't do this!!!!!! I'm terrible at this stuff!

I have officially titled my book!!!

Okay, so today I decided on a title.  Please welcome to the world of NaNoWriMo noveling, Written in the Stars.  By me.  I am also trying out a new software called Celtx which I'm super excited about.  It's for novels and plays and screenplays.  I'll be taking an online class at my college called "Intro to Creative Writing for Stage and Screen" next semester, so this might come in handy... especially if I do Script Frenzy... which I'm still debating.  But I definitely can't wait until next November for NaNo again, so I'll see you at Camp NaNo!  (Yes, the story of Calista cannot wait until November.  I've decided she's blind, so the new title is "Beauty is Blind" should be interesting since I love first person...hmm)
I printed out a copy of my manuscript today- all 134 pages of it.  Single spaced, back to back.  It's still huge.  It's awesome.  I started editing and found a few mistakes.  Word drives me nuts because it's all like didn't' when I type didnt' which is annoying because of the autocorrect... so I've got to fix that...

Okay, moving on.  Happy December!  My birthday is 8 days away!  YAY!  Anyway, last year my little brother and I did a duet of "When Christmas Comes to Town" from The Polar Express.  I'm going to try to embed the youtube here.  However, should this fail to work, here's the link

Anyway, consider this your early Christmas present.  I'm working on a few videos now that NaNo is over and I'll be posting stuff on my youtube of me singing in preparation for the auditions for the musical in February.  Which is the Enchantment of Beauty and the Beast... my favorite fairy tale, if you can't tell...

okay... I'm going to go and practice "There's been a Change in Me"  so that I can post it as soon as possible.
