Good Day! Me Lords and Ladies!
OK so I am extremely sorry for not updating. I barely have time now that school started, soccer practice goes on forever, and I have rehearsals after that. But I know those are horrible excuses. However I do have AMAZING news!!! I went to King Richards Faire (a renaissance fair) yesterday and I got great ideas for my renaissance story that I am working on. I saw the clothes, the armour, the fairies and other animals, and of course . . . the language! I just love their language and their whole presence. I was just floored by how much effort people have to put in to keep up their appearances there. It has to be my favorite thing to talk about, like, if you want to get me going mention something about the renaissance and I will go off. And now that i have all this new information, and all these ideas I can go back to work!! I will hopefully have a full chapter for you (you already read what I started from it earlier) soon-ish. I would mostly have it later today if I get all of my homework done - hopefully it will be before midnight. Well until meet again . . . or until the morrow!

Last Day With The Family This Weekend :(
Today is the last day of our long weekend, and my family (well cousin) is leaving later. That in turn means I have to finish all of my homework, and I really don't want to. So, instead of doing homework I of course am writing! I have barely half a chapter to give you but I thought I would be nice and let you guys have something to read. This short little chapter is from a medieval story I am writing so if you don't get some of the wording, or you think I worded something wrong please tell me and in the next post I will fix/explain it.
Chapter 1
"Good eve' Mother" I said as I walked into our house. My mother, Isabel, was in the kitchen making supper.
"Good eve' Attilio how is the bakery?" My mother asked. Isabel was a head taller then I and had caramel colored hair and pale blue eyes. She stood near the fire, warming the food and herself on this chilly day.
"The bakery was fine today. Maidens were talking about a ball of sorts, does thou know what yon fair maidens are excited over?" I asked with a wink. My mother always found it funny when I talked about the women in our small square. And she didn't disappoint me, she let out a peal of laughter.
"Thou hast not heard the news? The King and Queen are throwing a ball for our highness Charity. And thou are invited!" My mother Exclaimed.
"Me?" I asked shocked.
"Aye!" My mother grabbed my shoulders and kissed my cheek.
"Prithee, tell me thou aren't lying" I begged her.
"Would I lie to thee?" She asked with a smile, I shook my head, she would never lie to me. I held her tight to me and kissed her forehead. "Aren't thou excited?" She asked when I didn't answer.
"Very!" I exclaimed. Smiling, my mother sat down and was basked in the glow of the fire as she finished supper.
I was to excited to do anything. The King and Queen invited me - me! - to the ball. I couldn't help but feel like a lady, I was debating on what to wear (how feminine) and if I should have my mother trim my hair. Unconsciously i took off my cap and ran my fingers through my dirty blond hair. I placed my hat on the mantel and decided I could use a trim. After I unbuttoned my doublet, I looked down at my clothes to see if I should change for supper, my clothes were covered in flour, but i decided I should keep them on. Maybe Mother would tailor me some new clothes - fancier clothes - or I could even have a tailor in Karlington make me a new outfit. My thoughts were interrupted by a toddler attaching herself to my leg.
"Atti, Atti" the little girl screamed.
"Emma" I yelled, picking her up and holding her on my hip. Her old chemises - which was mine and then went down the line - had a new hole in the sleeve. "Emma, guess what thy brother is doing after the morrow? I am going to the bell, Emma!"
Yep, so, that was about it. I have a bit or writers block with this story (I have the plot and everything else, it's just how to put it all together) . I also started writing this yesterday but was forced to get off the computer to go shopping with my family (♥). But I have written more of everything! So tomorrow when I have a suitable amount for you I will post again. But until then . . .

Chem class . . . EW!
So far it was the second day of school for me, and I have found absolutely no time to write for you guys! However, today during Chemistry Class (worse class so far this year) I decided to stop taking notes because I had a burst of creativity! But, (there's always a but) it's more of an idea then an actual story, like what you fine on the back of the book. But I still hope you'll read it!
"We never saw it coming; even though we should have, we were in their school uninvited. But still we didn't know what happened until it was too late. We never figured Night School would be so dark (pardon the pun)."
When Emily-Rose Adams was Chosen, she had to leave her, very large, public high school in downtown Boston, Mass. to attend the small school in Winthrop known as, Transylvania Preparatory Academy. Which is a boarding school for students turning into creatures of the night. This is where Emily-Rose will (hopefully) complete her transformation into a vampire - but even if her new friends help her through the changes there will still be other things out there that want her dead. However only one thing can kill a vampire for good, and they are on the other side of town. Hunters High is a school for Vampire Hunters (in training). Both schools try to keep some peace, but when students at Transylvaina Prep. start acting strange Emily-Rose and her friends believe it has something to do with the Hunters. But if Emily-Rose gets in to deep she'll see just how dark both schools really are.
So, that is all I got down during Chem, (while still trying to look like I was working) and I have no idea where it's going. So if you like it, tell me in a review, and if you don't, tell me anyway. I always want to hear form you!
