Hi. How long has it been, blogger? Im sorry I didn't have a computer up until a few weeks ago. Not that many people really read my blog >.> So, I apoligize. I really do. And nowww.... A POST IS NEEDEDD!!!
Alright, As you know, We are in the month of November~! When you think about November youre thinking about turkeys and multi colored leaves. But do you know what the young adult author thinks about? NANO!!!!!!!!!!!! NANO Is basically a self-challange to try and write a whole novel (10,000 words) In just November. You start on November 1st and end on November 30th! I know I will try and participate and Lauren of Center Stage is definately in it as well. And if I don't finish? Well then I'll drag it into December. The idea of this novel? Funny you ask...
My story will be about a Elizabeth The 1st story, a princess from a far away land that is still in the Mediveal Period yet its the 21st century everywhere else. She is being forced to marry a prince from another kingdom and cannot give up the throne becauseonce you are on the throne you are the crown until death so she runs away with her best friend (a peasant) to the USA! I already know im gonna have a blast writing!

Maybe Shakespeare Had a Point
It was Shakespeare that once said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Until a few years ago I had interpreted that wrong. By "beholder" I always thought he had meant, "the person that beholds you" decides whether your beautiful or not.But I wasn't even close.
When I look in the mirror I don't see beauty. I see long dark brown curls, dull brown eyes and freckles. I dont see what other people see. No one does. When I walk in the streets, I always keep a straight face, a face that says, "Just don't talk to me and we will be alright." Im a shy girl, maybe because I don't like my apperance.
I always judge beauty on the faces on tv, and the models and what not. But I shouldn't be. Just as Shakespeare said, beauty is only in your eyes. You decide whether you're beautiful. And you shouldn't let others tell you any different.
It was a wise friend that once told me, "If you feel beautiful, you will be beautiful to everyone around you." If you have courage and faith in the way you look, then other people will sense those feelings. You must first believe you're beautiful for others to believe so. Have a nice day!

Back to School Frets
It may just be August but next month is the month all summer-kids dread. Back.To.School. And going back to school can be tough for all of us. "What if theres mean teachers? Bullies? What if im not prepared?" Well, here's my input.
Mean teachers. Whether we like it or not, sometimes there's people (including teachers) that we'll butt heads with. And honestly, theres really nothing you can do about it. If you two don't agree, that doesnt stop you from doing well. If your grades are down but you KNOW you earned a higher grade, then THATS a problem. If you talk it over with your teacher you should probably come to an agreement.
Bullies. Those are a real problem. Whether its you or someone else, bullying is a real pain. If theres someone getting bullied, you should totally help them out! And if its you, then you have all the right to stand up for yourself. No one, and I mean no one, has the right to judge you or make fun of you for being different. My friend said to me, "There are no such things as imperfections. Just differences." And that is soooo true. Just because you're different doesnt mean your not perfect! Because everyone is perfect in their own way. No matter WHO tells you different.
Being un-prepared. Now this is an easy one. Remember last year, your teachers? Well its kind of their jobs to prepare you for the next year. So trust me, you have nothing to worry about. Well then again if your teachers were lousy, THEN you'll have something to worry about.
Sincerely,
Artemis~*
(P.S. Happy Friday the 13th!!!)

Happy Birthday, America
As we all know, it was the 4th of July yesterday which represents the day that America got its freedom from England which is why that day is also called Independence day. Yesterday, as I was watching the fireworks in the cloudless sky, I realized that we are celebrating all wrong. I mean Independence day is a day of celebrating, but it should also be the day to remember those who have fallen for our freedom. Now-a-days we celebrate with barbeques and picnics and fireworks, but we have lost the true meaning of independence day!
So I'm here to say Happy Birthday, America! You've been through alot, and still are going through alot. But I'm proud of you for sticking through. Its been a long time since you've got some appreciation. We all love you America, and we always will. Happy Birthday, America!
