ALYSSA NOW HAS A NEW SITE!!!! Alyssa2 begins on Chapter 19, where I left off on this book blog. I can't believe that I've already reached the maximum amount of pages for this blog here. I never would have thought that I would actually make it this far. But I have!

A little warning, though. You may want to keep up with this, because, the minute I am able to publish this thing for real, this blog, and the part 2 blog, will go bye-bye, replaced by a price tag and count-down on how many days left until this book hits the stores. I cannot wait! At least for now, the book is free. To think I'm about half way done with it is unbelievable! This blog is only about 3 months old. I still can't believe it. Thank you everyone that has been visiting and reading this blog. Feed back is still welcome. I am still asking for it. So don't be shy. It's not like I'll come knocking on your door with a big, broad guy named Bruno. I will be happy to hear what everyone thinks! It is something I need. Again, thank you all!

Alright. You can see that I have some new pictures up. But I am not done with them yet. You can also now see the horrendous turn of events for Alyssa. What is going to happen to her? How is she going to fix this? Is Trea going to be alright? Or is he dead? I'm sure these questions are running around in your head. Honestly, there might be only one of those questions that I can answer, even. And I'm the author! Anyways, enjoy reading! And give me feedback, please! It is so necessary!

Yes, I know that it's been nearly a week since I last put up new chapters. But, as you can see, I have not abandoned the project! I have just posted two new chapters and up dated 2, (i think 8...), and 13. what were the changes?
2: I put the key on the table, instead of in coat pocket.
8(?): She grabs the key
13: made it obvious (I hope) that they are now out of the Sandy-ashen desert.

And I am already working on chapter 16! I was right about one thing: this is coming to me easily now!

Again, tell me what you think of it!

Oh, my goodness. Last night, I was just finishing up taking a shower (forgive me if that's TMI) and I had a sudden revelation for Alyssa. I couldn't figure out how I was to make it longer for the longest time, so I've been streatching out. But Last night, I realized that I don't need to streatch it out. I can keep it fast paced. I can go ahead and do the Jabberwalky scene! (Albeit, it is not the same as I imagined it to be; It will be better by far!) It will require chapters to accomplish this! It will be probably about the same length of the previous book that is already online! I am sooo excited about it!

So, as soon as I physically could, I got on my laptop and put down all of my ideas. Short sentence map of what is going to happen. The map is two whole pages long!!! Which means I have a lot of material to work with right now! I can not tell you how happy I am that I figured out how its all gonna go! I cannot wait to see what you think of my on-coming chapters! I can see that my chapters are going to be flying right out of my fingertips and right onto a page, almost withoout hesitations or pauses or interruptions!

I know I said that pictures will be coming soon. I'm sorry it is taking so long getting them out there. I haven't even found any as of yet. I will get to work on that right away. :^)

Appearantly, chapter 13 doesn't have strong enough ending scene. I will fix that. Soon. (I hope)

Also, I have been on a hatter-obsession streak. I found a fanpop page (Link on side bar) for Hatter. I am going through the whole movie and taking snapshots of hatter; as many as I can. Then I'm gonna get it onto my Laptop so I can do stuff with different clips from the movie. AND I'llbe drawing Hatter from one of the priorly mentioned snapshots of him. A Hatter streak indeed! LOL
I guess that's what happens when you are writing a book about an iconic movie character!

When I'm done drawing my Hatter pic/s, I'll be sure to post them!

Q: Should I make a seprate page for Hatter's pictures? Or should I put them in a post on this page? Or should I make a whole new blog for them altogether?

Ok. I'm working on Chapter 13  Just finished Chapter 13 (as you all can see...) and I got was a little bit stuck. It is an important scene and I was beginning to have troubles visualizing it. So what did I do? I got my brother to act it out with me. With out his knowing it. Haha, he's all like, What's the point of this again? I had to tell him the goal with out giving it away (Not easy to do!) But that is okay.

Also, been reading bits and pieces of it to my Dad. He totally loves it so far! Chapter 5 is where he picks up to night. He says that it is suspensful and really pulls you into the moment. He loves Chess, Salandra, and all of the characters, really. I'm totally excited! I can not wait to finish this book so that I can present it to the Queen of Grammar (aka, my Mom). haha, but that is okay.

I noticed that alot of you are stopping by my blog, but no one seems to really be commenting or following. Is my book that bad or uninteresting? Tell me! I want to know! I need to know! Why is it bad? Why aren't you interested in it? Please help me out here! I'm trying to make a best seller (in my opinion, at least). I want this book to be the best it can be. And I can't do this with out your help!

PS
I am planning on adding pictures and maps to go along with the book. I will not claim any of them as my own, unless otherwise noted!

Ok, I am going through chapters 11 and 12, reviewing them, detail by detail, with my best friend. Apparently, too much detail on the Vorpol Sword. And not the right impression on coming out of the mind maze. We are still on ch 11. But those two details are fixed. I hope it makes a good job and better deal on the book. <Sigh...> its a long and slow process. But that is ok.

I am now up to 55 pages. But that is the un-edited version, with all of the line breaks in Notepad (which doesn't have spell check). I so want this to be a real novel. I am slowly getting there. Ugh. Wish it would go ffaster. But I have to get it just right. And that is not easy.

I know you are all probably wondering, "What's with the platypuses?" Well... Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I felt there had to be a creature in the Mind Maze. Platypuses kinda just popped up in my head. So I took the Idea and ran with it. Albeit, I did not run far with them. Haha. Ah, well. I was going to have them interact more directly with Alyssa, but I thought better of it. I am told, its a 50-50 thing, it could have worked either way. I decided I should just leave it. (Obviously).

Any questions on Alyssa? I'd be happy to answer them (without spoiling it for others). You will see that in due time. Haha.
