Here's a list of any and all pieces that I deem good enough to post on Livejournal. Not a lot now, but hopefully later there will be some mores. Click here to see a list of trailers I've made for upcoming stories.
 

Lord of the Rings

When You Believe: On the eve of battle, one soldier has misgivings as to whether or not the fight is worth his life. But through wise words spoken by an old man, he realizes the truth about courage.
 
Until We Meet Again: Arwen parts with her mother in Imladris, content in the knowledge that they will be reunited in the Undying Lands. However, not everything is as it seems.

Pellinor

Beyond This Illusion: For years, Dorn á Triberi and Milana of Pellinor have been waiting for the birth of the Foretold. Their first child proves a disappointment, but in the dark of night a new hope rises. Written for WendWriter's January writing challenge.

The Distance Between Us: While in Thorold, Maerad and Cadvan stay at the home of Elenxi's brother, Ankil. Little do they know that the old man's story is one of pain and sacrifice, of love and peace. Written for WendWriter's February writing challenge. 

Original Works

He Loves Me Not: Pointless piece I wrote a few months back, when I was rather depressed. I think it turned out nicely.

"The sound of her weeping followed me through the village, tearing my heart into tiny pieces. I looked back, and there she was, standing in the middle of the road: lost and forlorn. “Goodbye, Kiranta,” I whispered, before facing the long road that would lead me out of the mountains and away from my love."

While in Thorold, Maerad and Cadvan stay at the home of Elenxi's brother, Ankil. Little do they know that his story is one of sacrifice and pain, of love and peace.

In my boredom, I've made a family tree for the main characters in the Books of Pellinor. I'm fairly happy with it, considering that I only used powerpoint. So, here it is:

I know it's not quite New Year's, but I'm going to make these anyway. I figure that even if nobody reads, them, I can write them out in a public place and remember them better that way. So here goes:

1: Finish Secrets and Pain. Currently I'm halfway through chapter seventeen and I think the story will run anywhere from thirty to fifty chapters. I'm shooting for thirty-five or less. But I tend to ramble...so it probably won't happen. Fanfiction is so difficult sometimes.

2: Try to compete with Anjolenna in regards to grades. That nerdy know-it-all will not beat me! (My friend Jo and I are competing for top grades. She's current valedictorian, and I'm right behind...ugh)

3: Lose weight. Yeah, I know that's ever teenage girl's goal, but my mom weighs less than I do, and she's three inches taller. I don't look fat, but I am. But I want to lose the weight and keep it off.

Uh, that's all I have for now. But if I think of something, I will definitely add it in.

 
Today's my birthday. I'm fifteen. What an awkward thought. In any case, I went to my friend's ballet production this afternoon. Actually it wasn't bad. And now my mom is making me food and baking my birthday brownies. I even think I might get presents... So today's been a good day, a great end to a weekend and an excellent start to winter break.

"My mother looked up at me, and I knew she was fixing me into her memory as I was fixing her."

Arwen parts with her mother in Imladris, content in the knowledge that they will one day be united in the Undying Lands. However, not everything is as it seems.

"No longer did he wish to seek vengeance for the spent lives of his father and brothers, who had been lost in the Battle of the Hornburg. Instead he mourned his own fate, regretting the rash decision that had brought him to this place."

On the eve of battle, one soldier has misgiving as to whether or not the fight is worth his life. But through wise words spoken by an old man, he realizes the truth about courage. Inspired by both the song "When You Believe" and by Atticus Finch's definition of courage from To Kill A Mockingbird.

Finals are over...finally! They really weren't that bad, and I'm pretty sure my 4.1 GPA will remain intact...at least it'd better. So now I'm looking forward to two weeks of nothing...except drivers ed. My main goal is to finish up ten chapters of Secrets and Pain, which would put me on chapter - 24. Yep, so that's my goal. Hopefully before new years. In any case, progress is going very well, writing wise. Let's hope it continues that way.
