This is Halloween!

Yes folks, in the middle of March, I bring you Halloween. Haha it definitely took me long enough, considering I was working on it since before last Halloween, but I finally finished and connected the scene. Now, I still have to finish Prom, but I don't think that will be connected into the novel for quite some time.

Later tonight I'll be sending out the long-awaited release! At midnight start checking your email inbox for an email from inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com. If you haven't subscribed to our email list yet, then what are you waiting for? Just send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com and I'll immediately add you to the list! If you don't want to go about that way, then just go to this link for alternate instructions: http://inkdreamsnovel.blogspot.com/p/where-to-join-in.html.


Let's see, what else is new...

I'm going to start yet another blog. This one's going to be about Technology. I have quite a bit to say on Google Reader, Wii Hacking, Android, and Linux! So that should be fun.

I know that nothing is being uploaded onto Wattpad, and I'm really sorry for the lack of activity. All that I can say on the matter is that I have absolutely no idea why nothing is being done. If anyone wants to be an editor for the novel, please don't hesitate to send me an email!

I hope everyone enjoyed their St Patrick's Day! Remember, midnight!

Here's to Good Changes!

http://inkdreamsnovel.wix.com/inkdreamsnovel

What's this? A redundant URL?! What could this be??

Well, it's a new website! It's now hooked to the Facebook Page, as well as *drum roll* the new BLOG!

Now, this isn't permanent, yet. I'm just trying out this Wix(wix.com) stuff to see how it works. So far there are some ups and downs about switching over, and I'm kind of on the edge about how positive I feel about it. You guys will have to tell me what you think!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

I've gotten some new editors! That's right, plural. Hopefully things will get kicked off soon, and there will be more updates on Wattpad (This links you to the novel). I can't wait!

I know I know, I haven't sent out the email update yet. I'm trying to tie the present story to the Halloween scene, and then I have to finish up Halloween! I don't want to send out anything until I've finished doing so. I'm sorry it's taking so long!

In other news, how is everyone? I'm on Spring Break until the end of the week, and it's so nice to be able to relax at home! I hope everyone else is enjoying their "spring"! (What is up with this weather? At college it's always cold, and three hours away at home it's nice and warm and sunny! Silly North Carolina.)

Who's interested in picking at my brain? Giving in some feedback? I want to host a Google Hangout with you guys! How does Friday night sound? It all depends on if I'm over my cold or not. You guys have to let me know what times work for you!

That's all for now everyone. Be safe and stay healthy!

Slow as Molasses.

So, I've got a sick. It's either the flu or some virus, and let me tell you: my motivation to do things has hit the road. Not for good, of course, but for the time being. It's probably taking a nice vacation. And laughing at me.

To tack on another excuse, I'm at a weird part of the novel where I'm not sure what to do next. Quite honestly I've had enough of writing training scenes, and I'm not sure of what to write for Belle's training with Friday and/or Thirteen. There's not really anything else for me to write during the current InkDream honestly. Really I just have to wrap it up and pass a week or two of real time. I reaaaalllyyyy need to get to Halloween for things to start picking up the pace again.

Are there any scenes that you guys would really like to see? I know, I know, there are some of you who want me to kill of Sam. Well.... No. That's not going to happen so soon, or even in this current century. Now while I may kill someone during an InkDream, well, there isn't much more I can say there without spoiling anything. (Other than that I have no idea/plans to do so yet. Cursed impulsive typing.)

But yes! Feel free to tell me what sort of things you'd like to see happen!

I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, happy, and is enjoying their day off! (Hopefully you have one. In America, it's a holiday that I doubt other countries are celebrating, so here's an apology hug to my foreign fans, whom I love ever so much! <3)

Happy Holidays and a Merry New Years!

As well as a "Good Luck on the New Classes". I don't know about y'all, but today is my first day of the new semester. Whoo college... -_-

I'm sorry I haven't updated in..months. Yeahh.... I think I've already told you guys how horrid of a person I am. To be fair, life has been quite hectic, and I haven't really had the time to do much. Not to mention that I've been busy with Wattpad! The novel is almost completely uploaded onto the site, and can be found at this link here. That link will take you to the main page for InkDreams. If you want to check out my other work, or my profile, you can clicky here. My username is AveilieaBelle (Hmm..wonder where those names came from...), if you'd rather search it or whatever suits your fancy.

I do have two side projects I've been working on instead of InkDreams, and I'm sorry that it's kept me so far away from my updates.

First, there's "Desteriea's Mary of Plain".

          "Mary is your average girl. Well, that's what I'm supposed to be telling you anyway. She doesn't want people to notice the mole on her cheek, even though it announces itself pretty well without me, and she doesn't want people to know that every night, for one week a month, she turns into a werewolf. But when you are the number one most detested in Desteriea Village, one more reason to hate you couldn't hurt too badly, right?

Until Prince Vestion moved to the Village. I'll tell you what, he certainly gave her something to look forward to in life. I'm not going to tell you why though- you'll have to figure it out for yourself!

So read about Plain Mary, Prince Vestion, and a battle against haters."

There are only two pages, I know I know. I'm working on the next part, but not really often at all. It probably won't be updated this month. (Or next month.) I got the idea from a dream I had actually. It was just a really unique, awesome plot line and I really wanted to get it out there. I took notes on the dream, so don't worry, I won't be forgetting what happens. Eventually the story will be completed.

The second side project is "Seven Shades of Me". 

             "Lucille Graves is a new college student, living with her boyfriend Jackson Marks and his little brother Jathan. The house was left to Lucille after her grandparents passed away the year before, and now the twenty year-old lives with the boys happily. Well, most of the time. Lucille has an Identity Disorder, which means she has multiple personalities. She doesn't see a therapist (not since the last incident), and she doesn't take pills for it. So she's shooting from the hip, trying to schedule the seven personalities their own time for her life."

This one has four pages, two parts. Again, I know it isn't much. But I think this idea is a bit better. However, I have no plans for it. No real plot, conflict, or even what all seven personalities are! So it will just be for funsies I think.

Okay, well I hope everyone had a good break/December/New Years/Etc! Mine was..definitely interesting, I'll give it that. I'm just glad to be on campus again!

I'll try to stop writing what can't be instantly released. I've created all the chapters I can out of what's been written, and now I need to play catch up. Thankfully my lovely editor hasn't killed me for being inadequate. Looking at what she's corrected, I feel really bad for all of you who've read my raws. xD <3

On the Lookout!

Well you guys, you all know how perfect I'm not. Let's face it. I'm full of past-tense errors, semi-colon obsessions, lists, bracket addictions...ellipses...repeated phrases, and like, probably some other stuff. But what better way to take care of these things than by getting some help?

That's right! I'm looking for editors!

Oh. You meant like, educational help? Silly you then.

But yes, editors. I need people working permanently and devotedly! Now now, I know what you're thinking: "How can she possibly expect people to be devoted to something that she takes constant breaks from?" Well, to put it simply: ... Because reasons.

No seriously, I know that I'm a mess. But not only will having editors make me more motivated to work, but you'll also get more updates! ..I think. Yeah probably.

So if there's anyone out there wiling to deal with this mess, just let me know! You guys know the drill, drop a comment, send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com, do what you will! I really appreciate any and all help that I can get.

Thanks guys! <3

Wattpad!

So to help spread the word about InkDreams, I started adding the entire novel up to Wattpad.com! I used to have just the first twenty or so pages up.

This means I have some work to do. First I have to separate the novel into sections, so that the different sections appear on new pages like they do in the pdf files. Then I have to scroll through the text in the wattpad text editor and fix EVERYTHING. I mean, nothing shows up the way I want it to. There are all of these spaces added in, my indentations are completely gone (not to mention the text editor uses some weird unidentified system where it'll tab over, but I can't use the tab key on my keyboard so I just have to insert spaces and copy-pasta that crap.) sigh. I only have the one font/font size as well. And you guys know how much I love to use different fonts.

By no means will I be adding the Notes on the Novel onto Wattpad. Right now that is for subscribers only! <3 That, and I'd have to rearrange the sections every time I updated, which is just too much hassle right now.

Please drop by Wattpad and give me your support! My profile page is at http://www.wattpad.com/user/AveilieaBelle, and InkDreams can be found through this: link. (Or you can just go further down on the profile page! It's there under my bio :D)

Thanks you guys for all of the support! I know it's been awhile since I've updated y'all, or sent out an email with the latest. But I can't send out the email until I've written more of the main story line. So far I've just been writing Prom and Halloween. (Yeah yeah, I'm still working on Halloween. I'm aware that October was months ago.)

Life's been busy and a little hectic. I hope everyone's having a marvelous winter break, that finals went well for my college students, and that everyone has a happy and safe holiday! No matter what your religion, please send out some prayers/thoughts to the families affected by the shooting. I didn't want to be a part of the bandwagon originally, but you know, this is important. This is the good bandwagon to get on, the one that brings us all closer together, brings out our humanity, and makes us thankful for everything we still have.

Thanks guys

-Your sometimes ridiculous author,
Lindsey

Pirates, Fairies, and Bullies, Oh My!

That's right guys, PIRATES!!! I really have no idea where they came from, but all of a sudden I found myself writing about them. Exciting stuff they be.

I'm going to send out an email tonight, probably around 12-Midnight with the updated release of the novel! Don't forget to sign up for the subscription list, or send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com about subscribing, and I'll add you to the list personally. You won't want to miss out on this exciting release!

This new update comes with a bit of the Halloween scene to be added in, a past life where the Trio are Pirates, and the beginning of a new bullying scene with Miss Monika!

I'm sorry this has taken me so long you guys, but I'm finally back in a mindset of constant writing/typing. :D

So life has been a little hard on me lately. I can only imagine that some of you are also having a hard time out there. I'll keep you guys in my prayers if you'll keep me in mine, how's that sound?

Also, I'm thinking of having a Google+ Hangout meeting! Wouldn't that be exciting? It'd be a Q&A session, and I'll answer questions to the best of my ability without spoiling much. I'd really appreciate some feedback from you guys, so maybe I'll ask some questions too. If you're interested, you can comment below, post on our Facebook Page, the NEW GOOGLE+ PAGE, or send an email (look above for email).

To add on to the excitement, I'm trying to make a Spotify playlist for either the individual characters, or for the entire novel. If anyone has suggestions, or wants to submit a playlist, I'd be more than happy to receive it! Maybe there will be a contest....

I hope everyone's doing okay out there! Don't forget to +1 the Google page, "like" the Facebook page, and send an email with your feedback! (Don't forget to subscribe either!! That's kind of important)

Much love to all of my fans out there! You guys are the best!
