New Blogs

I felt like making a new blog. Don't ask why :D

But, if you would like to visit it go to www.emmaofficialblog.blogspot.com!
I don't have time to write anymore so check back later!

My story of the day

Haha! Okay, so, I was on this thing that calculates how much you have done of your essay/book/whatever out of like 50,000 words and it turns out...my book is only 2% done. That is so ridiculous I laughed. I don't know why I haven't been working on it for more than a half an hour a day lately, summer laziness is getting to me! Writing has become homework lately! And I have no idea why! I have everything in my head and I'm all excited about creating the piece of the story about it... but then when I sit down at my computer and start writing I don't know where to go! Writing is so fun for me but at times like these...I feel that it's very, very, hard to get an idea into concrete form on paper. Ah, well, better luck the next time I sit down at my computer to write :)

Other than that, I think that I have finally gotten the basic idea that the whole story will surround around. As I've said before, I have started over on the whole story which was really a drawback because I don't have nearly as much writing as before but it really was necessary. I mean, it was really unorganized and all the stories in there were jumbled and I almost pulled my hair out trying to fix it to make it make sense! So, I started over which much thinking. Now, I started it off with a whole new beginning and I have even started it with a new boy character named Donavan. Not Liam and Seth. I'm trying to get to the part where Liam finds Seth at his house but I'm not sure if I should put that in Chapter 2. I don't know.

Enough about my book. I'm going to the airport in about an hour to pick up my grandfather and I'm not even dressed for the day yet. Life can really get ahead of you if you wear PJs around the house on all your summer days! It's probably best that I am not doing that as often. And today is only the second day of summer!

I really had better go get ready...I can't leave Grandpa stranded! :)

Wish me luck on Linked!

To Fans...

Hi fans! I got a form submission from a huge fan on my official website and it was so sweet I want to reply to her in some way...so I am creating a message for all my fans!

Dear Fans,

Thanks so much for all the sweet fan mail that has recently been piling up on my desk from when I print them off :) I love to hear from all of you with your opinions, suggestions, and compliments. Whenever I read one, it makes my day to think that I am so admired. Although my book is still a work in progress, all of you show so much support that I can't even believe! You are all brilliant and special and I hope you continue sending me fan mail and comments. I love you all so much! Keep up your wonderful lives and please stay in touch with me although I am busy with plans, family, writing of course, and everything else! But I will definitely make time for everyone else.

Again, thank you for your support and encouragement. It has helped me a ton.

Love,

Emma of Emma & Life

So, there you go. Come back soon and keep sending me things. I am so grateful to all of you :)

Random

Hi everybody! I'll tell you about my Saturday. Well, I got up at 6:30 (ugh- it's summer for crying out loud! And a Saturday!) and left to go to my church at 8:00 so I could do a 5 mile hike with my group! 5 miles at 8 o'clock in the morning! Unbelievable! Anyway, we hiked 5 miles of torture/fun but it was mostly tiredness and to top all the ugh-ness off, I was sick. Talk about a wonderful Saturday. But you don't want to sit here and listen (well...read) to my complaints. I was doing hiking and such for 5 hours and then when I get home I make this whole big schedule of things I want to do practically every half hour but here I am, giving up on my schedule. Who likes a schedule? Life is too short to worry about schedules. Not a typical Saturday of watching TV all morning :D but oh well.

And there's something I'm really excited about! I'm going to be doing a book review in the next post...don't trust me when I say I will post it in a few minutes. I will try to post it today when I can!

Oh yeah! And the contest is canceled. :( I don't have enough resources for that contest this month but hopefully soon!

See you later...or...then!

Friday Facts

I think Fridays are the perfect time for us all to try something new so I am going to start my weekend off with a bit of fun facts about me, myself, and I! :)

Class of 2016!

I love camping (camp fires!)

Almost every second of my free time, you will find me reading or writing

I love making up stories and sharing them with people...you have no idea. :D

I LOVE blogging!

Sometimes you will find me doing the most random things.

Like, yesterday, I was seeing how long I could hold my hands in the air :)

I have an obsession of Taylor Lautner

My favorite store is the Dollar Store :)

I enjoy sliding on hardwood floors.

During the summer, I make To-Do lists every day so that I can't say I'm Bored.

It has become a habit of mine to say "I'm bored," even when I'm not bored...It makes my parents mad. ;)

I enjoy surfing the web (doesn't everyone?!)

Twilight is starting to bug me :P

I like finding people on YouTube who sing covers of my favorite song such as Christine Kiberg (a.k.a "stauney123 on YT) I love her accent!

Usually, in my purse I have lip gloss, a book (I'm pretty sure I'm not a nerd...just a book worm and...a writing worm?), mascara, pennies at the bottom, bobby pins of course, my writing journal, cellie :), and things that I occasionally throw in there.

I hope you enjoyed the facts! Comment and Follow on the sidebar! Come back to hear more from me! Enjoy your weekend!

More updates on my book

I have been slacking on updating you on my book so here is some info I haven't shared anywhere else:

I don't have my laptop to work on it so I will have to wait until I get that back and as I said before, I have started over with the whole thing so it will take me a while to get to the place I was at with the other version :(

My second version isn't even a page long due to no laptop :( but I have soo much I want to write! The story is evolving in my head so much it's almost in my head too much...I must write it down!! :D

I'm having a lot of progress on it...in my head but until I have my laptop back, it will have to wait!

Love you!

Another Day In My Life/ 25 questions

Hi everyone! I'd like to just start off my day with blogging so that I can get my mind off something other than school. This is it! It's the last 4 1/2 days of school!!! I am so excited for a looong vacation I can hardly wait five days! It still hasn't sunk in and I'm sure it won't until Friday when we have just a few hours of nothing. And you don't even have to go to school because there's no attendance. So what's that point of having it?! It's really kind of non-logical to me :P. Anyway, I found a blog that's really fun and funny. Click here. And there was a fun quiz on it that I'm going to try out:

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
It depends. I'm usually too careless about closing it after I'm done in it and...you can't even see the floor it's sooo messy :)

2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotels?
I never take them from the hotels. I never really think about it and they get used up in one day anyway :P

It's A Snake!!

I have to tell you what happened today. Earlier today, I posted that I was going to be bored all day but I really wasn't!! I went with my dad and brother, Ethan, to an archery range because I do archery! And for fun. Anyway, at the end of the hike and at the last target, we were going to stop at the bathrooms because my brother needed to go. He walked over...opened the door...hesitated for a moment and came back. But he didn't just come back. He ran back with his eyes bugging out practically yelling "It's a snake!!!"!!! It was not funny at the time because we were like "What?!" and when we saw it slither out, our eyes bugged out too and it was just like a rattle snake (size) but wasn't really a rattle snake!!! My dad tried to get it onto my bow like the pro.s do but it didn't work at first.

It finally stayed on my bow and crawled around on it. It was big. I wanted to hold it if it wasn't poisonous but I couldn't. Then, when I remembered Ethan's face, we all started bursting out with laughter. It was so funny! :D

My brother didn't want to go back into the bathrooms...he was too scared. :)

That story was just so funny I had to tell you about it. Archery was fun for the first 6 targets and then it was hot and I didn't want to hike anymore. My dad said if I hit a bullseye from the 20 point, he would get me ice cream and on the third try (I wasn't really trying and I didn't think I could do it) I made it! And then my brother had to make a bullseye to get his icecream :)

I still laugh thinking about today!
