Tagged Writing Thingie!

1. What is the working title of your book?
"Discovering the King". I have decided to change the title, though, after I finish the book.

2. Where did the idea come from for your book?
Actually, it's kind of a weird story. I was typing random stuff in a word document one day during school, about a girl who got detention (???). From that, I started creating a whole giant plotline about her. I decided I was going to write a book about her. But then, I realized that I needed a book or two of background work before I wrote the book about the said girl. So I backtracked a bit, and now I'm writing a book that takes place before the time of this girl's appearance.
...that probably made no sense. xD

3. What genre is your book?
Not quite sure. Sort of a fantasy/adventure/spiritual.

4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Ooh, I haven't really thought about it... let's see... I think that a young Zoe Saldana (U'Hura from Star Trek '09 and the love interest blue lady from Avatar!) would do well as my character, Connie. She would just need to be younger, obviously, and have her dark hair curly. For George, Connie's twin brother, someone who could pass off as this young Zoe's brother with dark features and hair. As for Edmund, the last main character, I can't really think of anyone. They'd need to be young, with brown hair and green eyes, and have a sort of determined look to them.


5. Give the one sentence synopsis of your book.
When Edmund Tanner's younger sister is accused of witchcraft, how will he be able to prove that the laws upholding this accusation are false?


6. Is your book self-published, published by an independent published, or represented by an agency?
Not yet published! I'd want it to be published by a publishing company, most likely.

7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Teehee, it's not done yet. =P

8. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
My Pop :')

9. What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?
The book is quite based on spiritual/Godly stuff from a Christian and scientific point of view. The sciencey stuff probably won't be until the next book, though. I've always liked allegorical (is that the right word?) books, but I really don't like it when it's so blatantly obvious that God is in the book. I mean, that's great for Christians, because we know that's what the book is supposed to be about, but my main goal for this book is to reach out to non-Christians, and possibly to challenge Christians' way of thinking. ;)

Skillet's New Album

So, I am very excited to say that Skillet has given us new information on their upcoming album! As we know from reading an article on their website, the new album is going to be the story of salvation, including all the trials and struggles along the way. The article also revealed that the band was going to use top-notch, specialty instruments for this album. The album's title is "Rise", and the it'll be coming out in mid-May of 2013.

Yeah, I'm pumped.

Skillet has been one of my favorite bands for a few years now, and I absolutely love them. I mean, come on, what's not to love? The music style has varied throughout the years, but it's always meaningful and beautiful. The words are on-spot and really relate to people with where they're at. And, of course, the band members are hilarious and act like normal people. I haven't been a Panhead long enough to anticipate the release of a new album, but now I am able to be excited for this. Like, YES!

Once the single is released (I don't actually remember when that is), I shall be putting a link to it either on this blog (which is, sadly, abandoned most of the time) or on Howrse (which is more likely, since I'm on there quite a bit).

SKILLETNESS!
