Rolling the credits
Of course, I have to thank all of the people that helped me write my NaNoWriMo book, intentional help or otherwise.
Mom and Dad: For giving me plot suggestions, granting me extra computer time, editing offers, and (Dad on this one) for saving my story to his computer just in case this one crashed.
Erestor and Luthien: Sorry I had to kick both of you off the computer multiple times! You guys were both so patient (ahem, most of the time) when I had to turn down offers to little soccer games in the basement because I was writing.
Galdor: Thank you, kiddo, for not banging on the mouse too terribly hard while I was trying to hold you and type at the same time. If the mouse had broken, I wouldn't know what to do!
Andrea, igirl, Enna-Rin, and various friends: For discussing my book with me, and for helping me along with things. (What!?!? You killed your main character!? Great, Izori! ;) Also thanks to three friends in particular, who patiently waited while I had to postpone writing our movie script for the month. Sorry, ladies!
The girl that inspired both Angela and Skye: Thank you! You don't know that you helped me come up with two thirds of my main characters, but you did!
And, of course, thanks to the Lord for getting me through all of this!
(don't forget my trusty alarm clock, blaring in my ear at 5:30 AM every morning so that I could get up and write! It actually inspired the beginning of my story.)
Also, results for the poll ('What would you like to see more of):
Book Reviews and Opinions on books...........5 people voted for this
Writing Tips............7 people voted for this (38%)
The last Elandai book..........4 people voted for this (30%)
Small samples of Sarea (working title)..........7 people voted for this (53%)
Tags..........3 people voted for this (23%)
Caption Contests..........5 people voted for this (38%)
I don't care!..........1 people voted for this (7%)
So, it's a tie between the small samples of Sarea and writing tips! Alright, I'll work on those.

Never mind about the fish getting along...
*sigh* Don't you fish know that it's close to Christmas? That means you're supposed to BEHAVE, but no, instead you start attacking each other! No Christmas presents for you, young ladies!
Yep, our betta fish fight. So now they're separated. And I've also at least decided which one is mine. You see, one fish is white/ice pink, and the other is black. I thought both of them looked pretty cool, so I wasn't sure which one was mine. But now I've picked the black.
If only I had a really cool name for her...any suggestions, anyone?

More Fish!
After Arwen and Galadriel's untimely deaths (the fish, not the elves, remember?!) we got two new betta fish. Females of course--if we had gotten two male betta fish, they would have eaten each other. And, so far, these fish (unnamed yet) appear to be a lot healthier than the last ones! They get along well, too.
We haven't put Shrimp in there yet, though. We're just waiting for our unnamed fish to get used to their new home before we introduce him. Arwen and Galadriel both tried to eat Shrimp, and we don't want that happening again! So now he's just in a plastic container. Poor guy; in the last week he's been moved back and forth about six times!
While we were getting our fish, Mom, Luthien, and I (Erestor, Galdor, and Dad didn't go) took a look at some other pets. The kittens were SOOOOO cute! And the rodents...I LOVED them, but Mom has this thing about anything that looks like a rat (does that sound familiar?) And of course I saw the parrot. :D I think parrots are cool. However, Mom also has this thing with birds...

I finished NaNoWriMo!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know that I'd be able to do it, and even though I managed to finish a little ahead of time, it was rather...crazy.
But, Lord willing, I'm counting on doing this next year!
I was just skimming over my novel (50,305 words, 210 pages) and...well, it was a lot better than I expected it to be! I thought that it would be horrible because it was so rushed, but I actually think that its better written than Sarea, which definitely wasn't rushed ;)
Yeah, so I managed to get Elizabeth back to life (thankfully! Everyone's been giving me a hard time about killing my character :) and I also managed to add in a lot of characters! Matter of fact, here they are.
Main Characters:
Elizabeth Miller--14 yr. old human girl
Angela Hawkins--15 yr. old human girl
Skye Connolly--14 yr. old human girl
Second Characters: (A lot of them, but not all!)
Thea--? yr. old Caeleryn girl
Abriel--17 yr. old Caeleryn boy
Durain--? yr. old Caeleryn boy
Dubli--376 yr. old troll man
Kate--18 yr. old human girl (Elizabeth's older sister)
Miriah--12 yr. old Caeleryn girl
Mary--4o-something yr. old human woman (Elizabeth and Kate's mom)
And that's only about half of them!
The working name for this book is 'Portal', by the way, for lack of a better name. It was going to be 'Clouds', but I don't think I can put clouds in this book. Although I really liked that name...

A Less Rushed Thanksgiving Post (and some other things)
Okay, sorry that I didn't do this yesterday! Yes, I am thankful, but I'm also...busy.
So, I am thankful for...
1). God! Seriously, this is a very good thing to be thankful for. If it wasn't for God, we wouldn't be here.
2). My family! Yes, this is the usual, run of the mill thankful thing, but there's a reason why its so common!
3). Shrimp! (The pet, not the food. I don't like eating shrimp, or Shrimp :) unless I cook it myself). Anyway, Shrimp (our pet) has now survived three fish. Yes, Ano died :(. So we got two female betta, Galadriel, which was mine, and Arwen, which was Erestor's. They both died, too. I don't know why, but they did. So now I think that our family should strictly stick to shrimp as pets. Apparently we kill off everything else.
4). All of my friends, online and offline! And also friends that I know both online AND offline!
5). This blog!
6). My gift (sometimes curse) of writing!
7). NaNoWriMo! I'm really enjoying it!
8). Wierd names, like mine. I actually think I sort of like my name.
9). Comments! *hint, hint!*
10). Awards! *hint, hint, again!*
11). Our wonderful, amazing church!
I could go on all afternoon, but I also have a few other things to say.
First off, I'm on the homestretch of NaNoWriMo! Just a few thousand more words to write!
Second, we're decorating for Christmas today! Whohoo!!
Third, HERE is a very good post from Earwen's blog, A Hot Heart. Read it, and also read the blog! It's very, very good!
