    That would have to be NanoLJers.  Great people in it run by some great people.  I highly recommend it.

    Hi. I’m Cieria, but my friends call me Lily. As part of a NaNoLJers guest blog challenge I’m writing something for here and Dobbin is writing something for mine. So I don’t really know what to put but I’m going to have a go anyway. Okay I’m 18 and from England. Writing is my life. I write most of the time. Though I’m trying to get into the practise of writing every day and not managing it. Of course if I tell myself to not write for the day then I inevitably have picked up my pen (or sat down at my keyboard) and have delved back into my own little world by the end of the day.

    At the moment I’m participating in Script Frenzy the sister site of NaNoWriMo so I should really be writing every day. But I’ve write two scripts coming up to a total of 160 pages and come to a bit of a halt. Mainly due to the fact that I started reading War and Peace half way through, which in retrospect might have been a bit of a mistake. Still I’ve nearly finished it so hopefully I’ll be writing again soon.

    I think I should write a bit about what I’m writing at the moment. My two scripts that I’ve written so far were quite different. One was about a ghost who had commented suicide and ended up haunting a school, which was a very ironic tragedy. The other was about a team of magical detectives which is going to be a part of a series of novels that I’ve been writing (going to convert the script into a novel later on).

    I should say that most of my novels these days tend to take place in the fictional world of Cieria (Which is where I got my username from) which is a medieval ish fantasy world. It changes with every book I write, in fact at the moment I’m adapting it to find a place for vampires, dragons and orcs. Because what’s fun about a world without those things?

    So yeah that’s me. I probably could find more to say about myself but I think that I’ve rambled on for too long really. Anyway this has been fun. Thanks for letting me steal your blog for a bit Dobbin. It’s been great. (:

    Wow
    I think I mentioned earlier about a guest blogger appearing in my journal.  Well, I've just sent her my guest blog entry for her journal and omg is it long!  I didn't think it would be and when I was writing it I could not believe all the things I have done, it's insane.  And here I thought I wasn't doing much!

    I'm Crazy :D
    I feel like a crazy fan.  I've just read two more interviews with Rhonda Parrish.  Then I'm thinking to myself "I really have to read Neil Gaiman one day because she does :D!"  This is almost like wanting to listen to classical music because Jordan Knight does, and for the record that's not why I listen to classical music sometimes!! 

    Definitely was a good idea subscribing to the newsletter...and omg I keep quoting one of the Sister Margaret lines to myself:  "Hell of a way to treat a friend." 

    I'm too giddy.  Good news though is I'm not the only one who feels this way.  The reviews have been good.

    Well, I'm going to go down an espresso then go and pay the power bill.  I'm not going to Raving Poets.  I just need time for myself to stay at home and collect myself.

    Yes, it's still me, but tomorrow, in a few days, or in a few weeks, you'll see someone else guest blogging here.  We're doing a writing exercise for our online writing group, so she will be telling us a bit about herself and what she's doing.  Should be exciting because I will be doing the same thing on her blog.  I will say that it's not Rhonda, I would've screamed like a little girl with glee if it was!  Speaking of which, looking for summer reading, Sister Margaret is now available at fictionwise as well!  If I remember correctly, if you buy the book from fictionwise, you can leave a review on their website.

    Back home
    Well, I bought some sugar after work.  I got it at Save-On, then took the bus all the way home.  I'm exhausted though, like I knew I would be.  I shall be drinking lots of fluids and staying online.  It's still 8:30pm now, so maybe later tonight I'll get in an hour of editing.  We'll see how I feel.

    If a friend started reading your journal today, what would you need to fill them in on so they could understand what you're writing about?

    Nothing really.  I think my journal says it all lol.  Although I can be a bit crazy, but my friends already know that :D.  If you're not my friend, you wouldn't know that ;).

    William Gibson :).  He was going to do a reading at the IMAX and when I got to the IMAX I went into the elevator and this other guy was there too.  Then the elevator stopped on a floor and this older gentleman and lady got on.  The lady worked there.  The elevator started going up, then I was like to myself "Omg...t-that's W-William Gibson!"  I didn't want to say anything, didn't want to bother the guy.  The elevator stopped and the lady and William Gibson got out and she said that this was their floor.  The elevator closed and I was like "wow, that was William Gibson".  I glanced at the other guy and he didn't say anything.

    This is going to be one of those stories I tell my grandkids.  :)

    Writer's Block: Adult Onset

    Putting legal definitions aside, at what age do you think someone can really be considered an adult?


    View other answers

    There's no such thing.  Sprinkle a few big words you still get the same old bully or a silly whiny kid.  There are some kids I know that are more respectable than some adults, it's amazing.  It's also really sad how some adults use words to put down or destroy other people just to make themselves feel good.

    Carrie Jones
    I  have just finished Carrie Jones's book Need last night!  It's her latest book.  Bad idea to read some of it at night though, because I'd be almost wanting to look out my window to see if "he" was there. 

    Even better was her book Tips On Having An (Ex) Boyfriend!  That book just blew me away.  I had heard about it from Midnyte and originally I wasn't going to read it because I thought I knew how it would go, but seeing as how I was doing this 50 book challenge I thought "If I end up not liking it, then I can just say I've read one more book".  The book didn't go how I thought it would go.  It was so much better.  I also never knew Young Adult fiction could be so good too. 

    I'm also not as stressed as I was in the beginning of the month.  I'm starting to organize myself a bit.  It's been a quiet year so far and I'm hoping it stays that way.

    I also submitted a poem to the Raving Poets website.  It's one that I read during their fall season.  I was really hesitant to submit it because I didn't know if they would take it, even though they would (as long as you read once during the series, you can publish).

    So yes, I'm now going into book #4 of the 50 book challenge.  It's a really crazy challenge.

    I've even started writing something because I just had this need to write.  I'll have to try and finish it next week.


    Oh yeah, speaking of Carrie Jones, there is or was an interview on the Niteblade site, but something happened to it!  I don't know the whole story, but I know it's being fixed.

    Writer's Block: Spoilers Below the Cut

    Have you ever ruined the ending or given away plot developments in a book, movie, or tv show by telling someone who hasn't seen or read it what happens? Has anyone ever done this to you?


    View other answers

    No and yes.  I still liked The Crying Game even though someone spoiled it for me.  Actually he spoiled it for everyone.  We were in EdPsych 163 (now known as Ed Pysch 101) and I think the subject of movies came up or something, well, he yells out the secret.  Part of the reason I don't go back to University.  I won't rant about that though.

    Too many LJers to list have submitted this question—what is your biggest pet peeve?


    View other answers

    People who have a licence but don't know how to drive. 

    1) slow down when the light is yellow, don't speed up.

    2) stop when you see red light.

    3) pedestrians have right of way.

    4) don't park in a handicapped parking space if you are handicapped and talk on your cell phone like you're some big hot shot which leads to #5

    5) don't talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time!!

    6) don't speed in residential areas.

    7) don't drink and drive.

    8) have the courtesy to keep your blowup doll in the car!

    9) use the correct turn signal

    10) don't block the Tim Horton's drive thru line!!

    11) park your car and actually go into Tim Horton's instead of being so darned car-dependent!

    12) don't scare little children

    13) don't torture little girls and try picking them up

    14) owning a car is not a right but a privilege!

    15) stop smoking at Gas Stations while filling your car with gas!  Do you want to blow up??  Stupid chain-smoking mother...

    16) in bad road conditions, don't drive faster.

    17) be courteous.

    18) don't merge too late.

    19) turning your turn signal for 3 clicks then turning it off, is not using your turn signal!

    20) locking your dog in the car with the windows rolled up when it's hot outside while you go and get a few things from the store (it'll only take a few minutes, which it never does!)...like that is so not cool.

    Something about eating people.  I was at the Raving Poets and a table was talking about that, it was funny.
