Hmmm... Things to talk about today...

1. "The Story Board" Changes
2. Awards
3. My Day
4. Sonic Generations
5. Mention story
6. My "Let's Play"

Hello everyone! I am that new person mentioned on the last blog. My name is Hedgestar and I've been writing since 2008. From then until now, I hold more than 250 characters (although, not all of them have been written into a story).

I love to write, play video games, watch Let's Players, listen to music from old, animated cartoons, and my favorite movie of all time is The Brave Little Toaster. I get inspiration for my stories in just about every way possible (dreams, ideas, leftover toothpaste in the sink, etc.)

But, let's move onto some of my stories!

FictionPress is here

Well, it's official. I'm excited. We have our first author joining us from FictionPress.com. As you all should know, FictionPress is FanFiction's sister site for original works of Fiction. As in not based on other content from video games, movies, already published books, TV, et cetera.
For more details, and how to tell the two target sites apart on our story board, continue reading the post.

Alcohol Awareness

I recently learned that October is Alcohol Awareness month, a time to reflect on the dangers of over use and over-consumption of alcohol. In honor of this month, and the millions killed each year, I present to you, the music video for my favorite band's song, Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?). Please take the time to view the music video in it's entirety. I am aware of the fact that this player does not work on the site, but it does provide a link to the video on YouTube, do not let this deter you from the song's important message. The song in and of itself was written in honor of the lead singer's girlfriend, killed in an accident by a drunk driver, or so I understand. At the end of the video is a fact that I will re-type here for emphasis, because if this hits home for even one person, than this has been worth it.

Traffic accidents are the number one killer of teens. One-Third of these accidents are alcohol-related.

 Without further ado: Simple Plan.

Before I sign off, I want to explain something so we don't get a flurry of comments about it. In the video, when the family goes flying off in co-ordination with the crash, it is supposed to be representative of the fact that more than just the people in the car are affected by the crash. This should be obvious to most, but some people won't get this off the bat, hence this explanation. Good night everyone, and remember, don't drink and drive.

Small Update...

Well, mostly out of boredom (and determination), I was able to finish the second chapter of Baby Legendaries and get it posted, a couple of days after posting the full eighth chapter of A Being of Insect and Steel. Currently hoping to continue this streak with regular updates now.

Hello!

Hey, everybody! It's the Element Commander! Thank you for welcoming me to this blog!

...

Yeah...I'll be posting some stuff eventually. I just hope this post works! So I guess I'll see you next time!

The origin of the test gauntlet.

You know I knew trying to be a teacher would be hard but, I think I've discovered why teachers give so many tests. It's because when they where in college their teachers gave them tests twice a week and they crave revenge! How do they get their revenge? Taking it out on their students and thus the vicious cycle continues. I'm hopping after this week it calms down some so I can do something other than study for tests you know? On the plus side I'm doing well in classes! Let's see how long that lasts...

Welcome back me! It's been awhile huh? Well, stuff happens. So a quick overview and a page break are in order. Here's the stuff I'll be talking about, in no particular order:

1. Pure Chaos Progress
2. Thank Goodness for "camp-o"
3. Roommate?
4. New author

The Meaning of Words.

You know those times you just wish someone else could see the way you do?  That you had the words to make them better understand how you view the world and they can show you their view? Just so you both could understand each other a little better? I'm not talking about  simple communication, not really. Sometimes you don't have the words to express just what you see or how you feel, and it's frustrating because what you see can be so amazing  in your eyes that you wish just for a moment, someone else could experience it exactly as you have. Yea when you don't have the words the world is a narrow place, and even if you do, if others do not have the same words it is as if you didn't possess  words at all. It's funny how words shape so much of our lives. Guess that's why I became a writer. I want to have the words to describe everything I'm experiencing to you, and share with you everything as I see it through writing, and have it understood no matter who you are. That is what words are to me.
