Hello everyone,

           

I’ve had a little fiasco with my old computer. My computer got sick and I’ve been trying to switch all my word documents, pictures, online accounts from another computer. It’s difficult because on a few accounts I had online, my passwords were changed… probably having to do with the viruses.

 

            Well it’s official. I’m getting serious about this publishing thing. I have a little novella that I’ve wrote and I’m having friends and family look over it, to read it, and see if it is any good. It’s a religious short fiction about that answers the question, “what is real persecution?”  It’s called The Resented and it’s the prose I’ve been most nervous about writing. I don’t know why. It’s unlike most other things I’ve written. I think it’s because it’s religious and it’s short.  I’ll keep you updated on its progress.

           

I have four other story lines lined up after this one. There’s Darren, The Orphanage, The Defiance of Emily Rose, and my Danielle story. I’m currently working on the Defiance of Emily and it’s at about 50,000 words but it’s nowhere near finished. I’m at the roughest of drafts.

           

I should start posting some of my poetry I’ve written since I’ve been on but I’ll try to pace myself. I think I’ve been a little rough with my poetry lately so I’m going to need to a lot more exercises.

 

Well that’s it for now. Poetry exercises coming soon.

Indiana Jones 4 wasn’t all that great. I had hopes that it would be an adventure story but yet again another director sells out his ideas to a stupid fan base… the same thing happened with pirates of the Caribbean and I’m starting to get pretty sick of it. I’m so glad Lord of the Rings was all filmed on the same shoot and the didn’t loose touch of the feel of the movie.

SPOILERS

First off. Indiana Jones is an adventure story. This new movie turns into a stupid science fiction, and don’t get me wrong, I love science fiction. I’m actually reading a science fiction now, but, not in INDIANA JONES I mean COME ON. It’s just didn’t have the proper Indiana Jones feel.

Second, Indiana Jones always fought the Nazi’s and now he’s fighting the Ssoviets.

Third, a women would have never been hired in the soviet union for anything more than a spy.

Fifth, NO one can survive an atomic bomb, even if they were in a lead based refrigerator.

And that’s just the beginning of all the stuff that was un Indiana Jonesish about the movie. Ey-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi…..

I could go on but I won’t.

ello guys,

(can you tell I have ACDC stuck in my head)

Oh dear,

I have two thoughts about summer. On one hand it’s hot… and I’m rather miserable when I’m burning up from heat and getting all sweaty. However, it’s also the time of year one can swim and relax in a nice pool of water. I love the smell of grilling and such and I like to see kids playing on their fronts lawns with the water hose or what ever they do in the summer. So there is always a positive and a negative to every situation.

MOVIES

The happening-  I'm not sure whether I want to see this one.  M.N. Shamlinononon did a great first movie for all audiences but lately, I have noticed, that not everybody is very happy with his later movies... except for those loyal and dedicated fans.  I admit the only one I can really stand to watch was lady in the water because it doesn't give me the heeby-jeebies or anything.  Anyhow we'll see how this turns out.  

Iron Man- I love.  period

Indiana Jones- I wanna see and hope its good.

Batmans Dark knight-  RIP Heath legder but I can't wait to see it. 
BOOKS

Well I've been reading more than writing lately but I have started up with an old story of mine again and it wasn't that hard to pick up on. I had organized all the chapters and my thoughts before laying it to rest for a while and now the transition of restarting the process has gone so much more smoothly than I thought possible... I'm now on about the seventh chapter. All though, I have been reading some other books and have come up with a different chapter structure that might make it easier for the reader to break down the time line.

POETRY

I started a thing a while back that came from something I saw on the deviant art site. It was that one hundred themed thing where different artists made art of a one worded theme... well I'm doing that which peotry, it is pretty much at a stand still but I plan on starting it up again soon. I'v got about... twelve poems maybe... but that's just a guess.

WORK

I'm not doing much but babysitting this time of year. I think I'll pick up on a job this fall, but all the jobs in this town are made to suck so I'll choose my job wisely. I actually want to go work at this party place for kids in which there is a bunch of moonwalks and things like that... I think it's be a fun place to work and it's family oriented so yay!

CHURCH

Yep I still go! I love my church a lot, Some churches here in the bible belt seem to only give milk and I want the MEAT and this is definatly a meat giving church. (Meat means that I'm not just getting taught that Jesus loves me but all sorts of things from the bible that I've never known before)
I'm going to start a cooking class at church to and I can't wait because that means I probably will have homework... and my husband is going to like that. If I could make food pretty enough to display as art... I would but when cooking, I'm more concerned about the taste than the looks... you know?

THE MOVE

It's been three weeks.... I think.... now and we're finally setteling down. We weren't even home for our first weekend and our second we went by so quick. Anyhow I love the place. It's much more homey than the last place and I feel very good about what's in store for this place for the year.

CABLE OR INTERNET?

As you can tell we chose internet. I figured that I get nothing productive done when I'm watching cable and I'd rather read a book or something. I'm sure we'll get cable somewhere down the road in the future but it's not usuful to us right now. Oh yeah we got this AT&T wireless internet card and I like it so far. It's going to be nice to be able to take my laptop anywhere and use internet anywhere I want to.


OH I ALMOST FORGOT

My chiildrens story needs to be finished but I stopped because we were moving and I'm afraid some pages are going to need to be re-scetched and painted. I hope it doesn't look totally looserific. However, I have come to the conclusion that I won't put the story up just yet. I might... but I'm a bit protective of my stories even if they're so terrible no one else will like them.


That's pretty much it folks.

I will talk to you guys later and give you updates and what not but things are slow going so far.

Hello people, 

Well Whomsoever reads this.  I thought I'd give an update.

I'm finished with the basic writings of my first childrens story.  I should probably start on the second if I'm going to do another.  However, I have the first two artwork pages of my story done.  My husband likes it and that's just the push to keep me going.  I've got about ten more pages left.

ttyl,

Emrose

Drive through a big town
Drive with all your might

Just don’t quit the road
Don’t let yourself down
Pay the dues that are owed
And give up your crown

 

Well I must say that the 100 theme poems are going well. Of course you probably can’t see them because I blocked them from public view. I think it would make a nice book someday. Also I have a ton of great ideas for short stories in the future and I think the future is bright.

Also I had to write a testimony to become a member of a church. It was so nice to see the elders actually concerned about my spiritual well being. Anyhow, I am now a member of the church but I thought I’d share my testimony with you guys.

I believe that the gospel is the truth and that it shows us the things that Jesus did, not to prove himself Gods son but to edify the people around him about God and how one should live on a day to day basis. The gospel brings us hope and shows us God’s everlasting love as well as his justice. Though I can’t claim to know everything about the Gospel, I am always learning new things and am open to learn more and study more so that I can be a better person to others and do what God wants me to do.

Before I was baptized I knew that God and Jesus existed. However, my prayers were meager. I would sometimes pray in anger at God, threatening him that I wouldn’t love him anymore because of something I did. The next day I would be happy and lift up praise to him. When I was in sixth grade, a friend of mine brought to me to a local church. I started to learn more about Jesus and decided that I wanted to make him a part of my life. I was baptized. Even though I was baptized, I was still sinning the same ways I was when I was young, not in prayer, for my prayer life only grew stronger but in other ways. I felt guilty. Guilt started to grow heavier and heavier on me and I knew what I needed to do except I wasn’t sure how to do it.

In ninth grade I confessed my sin to my parents and I was very afraid that they’d be disappointed in me. I could feel in my heart, however, that God was telling me that I needed to confess to someone. I was scared that they might not love me the same way but instead of what I thought would happen, God showed me what forgiveness really felt like. It is the most indiscernible and wonderful feeling. I did not go back to that sin until later on in life when I found myself under a spiritual attack. I didn’t like where the church was going and I didn’t understand what God wanted me to do. I worked hard for the church in effort to try and understand, but in the end I started relying on my sin to make me feel better.

I knew I was in trouble and I knew that God could kill me and throw me in Hell the next day and I was afraid. I was terrified yet I couldn’t stop sinning. I realized I wasn’t the Christian I thought I was and confided in my parents once again. Through a series of prayers I think God threw me things to help me out of my sins. I feel that I am still a baby in Christian terms and that I learn something new everyday. I pray continuously that I would not fall back into temptation and that I could stay in God’s grace. Since seventh grade, all though I have not been the best example of a Christian I think people do take notice to the fact that I am a Christian, especially some of my old friends that aren’t Christian. I never said that I was Christian but I guess it was the things I did and said that must have led them to believe that I was a Christian. I talk to friends that need help and though I can’t always give the right answers I suggest people to talk to or books that I think my help.

This is the start
Where it all takes part
I will take the pen
And start a story within

Welcome to my world
Where my imagination is curled
Into a little ball
Awaiting for the fall

Awaiting for the plunge
The story will lunge
It will blossom and bloom
In the midst of wordless gloom

The introduction- emrose8822

This is something I got from a different sight.  It's a hundred words for an artist to use for paintings, photographs, and any other form of art.  I hope to do a poem theme.  Here are the themes and this will be the only place I will put my poetry up. 
Well that's all for now.  I'll check in later.

 Hey y'all,
Here's my intro story to let you know what I'm all about.
Enjoy.

The Sketch

I sat and took out a pencil and something to scribble on. I think my friend was trying to tell me something but it was too late for me; I had already entered my world. She continued to speak as my consistent scribbling started to take form. 'A tall dark man cast his sorrowful shadow over the hero. The brave hero's lover screamed from the sidelines, praying that he would be careful.' My mind began to flow freely on the paper. The story started to run with out stopping and, just as all seemed to have been well and the ropes and threads that held my story together seemed smooth and perfect, I cut it with a knife to add to the confusion and chaos of what was already there. It took brave new turns and great new romances. My hand started to hurt but I hardly noticed it; all I could do was continue on. An annoying ringing filled my ears, but I ignored it.


Great! I was almost finished. All I had left to write was... 'The hero's heart pounded looking at the young beautiful princess. He had never seen someone so pretty. He leaned in closer' and just as I was about to finish my tale my friend shook me out of my world and back into the "real" one.

"Christina!" She whispered, "Class starts in five minutes!" I looked up and noticed I was in a class room with my papers sprawled all over the desk. I quickly organized my thoughts, my papers, my mind, and readied myself for the lesson that was about to begin.

"Thanks," I smiled sheepishly.

This is me... or rather a sketch of what I am.

here's something I wrote to explain myself.
