So I guess today has been an eventful day. I had a job interview, but I'm not sure how it went. Whether or not I get the job is still up in the air. I sent Darkest Before Dawn to a publishing company and should hear back from them in 2 to3 months. Because I'm finally trying to get it published I took it off of Wattpad, but if anyone wants to read it and give me a review just let me know. The more feedback I get the more my novel improves. I also got a call from my college about one of the classes I'm taking. It looks like I'll be dropping the class which I'm actually happy about because I feel like to keep it would be too much. I don't have enough credits to be a full time student, but I have enough schoolwork to feel like one.
I go on vacation soon. I'm super excited about that. Of course, if I get the job then I might not be able to go on the vacation. Still, I choose work over a week at the beach at this point. Because of my college schedule it's hard to fit in work too.
I took a break from writing today which has been pretty nice. After writing in so many projects I need to leave it alone for awhile. My imagination can only stretch but so far at one time.
Bloggers, surely there are some of you reading my posts. Are not some of my followers bloggers too? In case you didn't notice I nominated you as my best blogging buddies and asked you to share the link to your blog. Go on now, don't be shy. :)
God bless you! Thanks for your time. :)

Best Blogging Buddy Award
Guess what everyone! I was nominated for the Best Blogging Buddies Award! :D Thank you Ruby at singingtothesea.BlogSpot XD
Before we get started let me list the rules, which as you'll see don't include not excepting the award after already receiving it once or twice. For those of you whom have been following me for a while now you'll know I've already done this once or twice. :)
1. Show award on blog.
2. Tag the person who nominated you.
3. Nominate best buds and ask them fifteen questions.
4. Answer the questions you've been asked.
Here are Ruby's questions for me and my answers in italics. :)
1. What is something you've never told anyone? I had a crush on a boy who I've never even met before. I met him on NaNoWriMo's Christian Teen forums and he was funny, a good writer, and he seemed like a good Christian too. Of course, I know better than to assume people are who they say they are online, but I still liked him. :)
2. When did you lose your first tooth? lol! You're kidding right? Stars, I can't remember. I only remember losing a few and I have no idea which ones were my first or my last.
3. Favorite childhood story? As a child I didn't really have a favorite, but if I had to choose one now I would say "The Monster at the End of this Book". :) I'm going to read that book to my children and grandchildren and hopefully my great-grandchildren too. XD
4. What is a "little kid" show that you secretly enjoy? Is Gravity Falls a kid's show? Because I've seen a few episodes and I love it. :D I can't think of any. Just movies. :)
5. Favorite fandom? Do you really have to ask? Doctor Who all the way!!! XD It is my ultimate fandom obsession. XD I'll forever be a Whovian!
6. How many pets have you had and what are/is their names? Just one Jack Russell Terrier mixed with another breed. Her name is Maggie and we think she's eight years old, but it's hard to keep track.
7. If you could fly or become invisible which would you choose? Invisible. If I could fly that would probably mean I'd have wings and that would be a hassle. ;)
8. Have you ever swallowed a fly? Yes, I think so. I probably swallowed quite a few flies and other bugs in my food, like in my fig newtons. But there was no memorable moment of me swallowing a fly that flew into my mouth or something, if that's what you're thinking of.
9. What is something weird that scares you? Monsters under the bed. I know there are other teenagers out there who understand because I've seen their tumbler posts. :) You know that feeling you get sometimes when you turn out the lights at night and suddenly it feels like something or someone is going to reach out and grab you. So you fling yourself onto your bed and scramble under the covers as if that will somehow protect you from the thing under your bed that you know isn't there. It's weird and scary. It doesn't happen to me that as much anymore, but it does happen on occasion..
10. If you had to either run a marathon in the mud or jump from a plane (with a parachute) which would you choose? I would jump from a plane. This girl doesn't run.
11. Favorite kind of candy? Hershey's milk chocolate bar.
12. If you could only read something from one author for the rest of your life who would choose? Not too long ago I probably would have said Veronica Roth or Merissa Meyer, but given their all too agreeable response to the Supreme Court's biggest mistake I will no longer be promoting their work. I would have to say Conan Doyle or Jane Austin.
13. Where is your favorite pizza place? The Kitchen. It's actually not that far from my place. I just walk from my bedroom to the kitchen. I don't even have to go outside. :D
14. Do you like chocolate? Given my answer to question eleven, yes, yes I do. XD
15. Which scares you more, snakes or spiders? Oh defiantly snakes. You can step on a spider and it's gone forever, never to bother you again, but a snake.... *shivers* I hate snakes.
(BONUS QUESION) 16. Will you take the ring to Mordor? No. Absolutely not. No. It's mine! All mine! My precious! XD
Alrighty, it's time for me nominate and ask questions. :)
I nominate all the bloggers who are reading this! :D
So, my fellow bloggers, here are your questions:
1. What era in history do you think you actually belong in?
2. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Or neither? Or both?
3. What is your blog about?
4. Sweet tea, iced tea, hot tea, or none of the above?
5. If you could travel anywhere in time where would you go first?
6. If you were given free, one week vacation at the location of your choice, where would you go?
7. How long have you been blogging?
8. What was your favorite TV show to watch when you were a kid?
9. Which musical instrument do you play? If you don't play any which one do you wish you could play?
10. Chess or checkers?
11. If you were title a novel about time travel what would you name it?
12. Are you a writer? (If the answer is no then you should become a writer.)
13. What are your hobbies?
14. What is your dream job?
15. If you were to grow a garden what would you plant?
(BONUS QUESTION) 16. Will you take the ring to Mordor?

Darkest Before Dawn - Three Chapters
Hello again! I'm back. :D I thought in an effort to get my book out there I would publish this blog post on my old blog, which I still haven't gotten rid of. :)
I've published three chapters of "Darkest Before Dawn" on Wattpad! :D After the first chapter it took me forever to finish editing the other two. I have a process for editing this time which is more thorough and therefore a lot slower. I still don't have another editor like I would like to, though. I'm having a lot of fun writing "Tick Tock" and I think that's helped me open up my "Darkest Before Dawn" document again. I haven't started writing in it yet, but I'll get there. I had hoped to get in paperback by the summer using my NaNoWriMo rewards, but I'm not so sure that's going to happen. We'll see. :)
If you haven't already read the first chapters of "Darkest Before Dawn", then please check it out. If you like it, please vote for it by clicking the little star above each chapter. I think if I have more views on my books the easier it will be to encourage others to read it. :)
That's all for now. Have a wonderful day! God bless you. :D

National Novel Writing Month of 2014
Hello again! So it's been awhile since I've posted on my old blog, but I'm back again and with no idea what I'm going to talk about.
My novel for the National Novel Writing Month is coming along well. I did not wake up in a writing mood today, though. I had to force myself to sit down and write. I reached today's word goal! I have written 41,717 words in Darkest Before Dawn.
I downloaded Evernote and am trying to use it as a way to organize my book notes. So far it's working out pretty well. I can sync all my notes from my computer to my tablet so I can have it on the go too. I have moved all my Celestial Trilogy notes to it already. I wanted to put it on my iPod too because I use it more often, but apparently my iPod is too out of date for the app. As far as I know it won't allow me to download an older version of the app. :/ Oh well! Now I have another reason to use my tablet more often. :D
Also, pretty random but... I want to see Big Hero 6 soooo bad!!! That and The Maze Runner. The trailers for Big Hero 6 are funny and adorable and I can't believe I haven't gone to see it yet!
Okay, I'm done. XD
Thanks for reading! God bless you!

For whatever reason I am still having the hardest time deleting my blog. As you've noticed I've had some fun redecorating. I saw some other blogs that use Blogger and the way they designed their blog put me in a designing mood. I'm probably going to do the same thing on Weebly.
I wanted to do some cool, really long post on this blog, but can't think of anything to say. Well, I've had about twenty-one people read the first chapter of my book Darkest Before Dawn on Wattpad.com. I found out that I could share it on Google+ so once I did that I got more readers. That was exciting. So far I have written 15,841 words in that book. I was a little under 5,000 words short of my word goal for Camp NaNoWriMo.
The title of this post has no real significance as the others may have. I like giving my blog posts and books cool titles, but the more I post the faster I run out of names. Maybe later I'll think of something and edit my post.
Anyway, that's all I have for today. God Bless! Have a fantastic day!

For The One Who Comes Back
For the person who goes back and checks anyway, just because there's that small chance that maybe something new appeared. Hello! I am that person and I could not resist posting on my old blog just in case you are that person too. I wish I had something cool to share with you, but I don't. *leaves for a couple hours, distracted by other open tabs*
Okay, so I now I do have something to share. XD
http://www.wattpad.com/user/LizzieRise
I'm going to give wattpad a try. Given that my book is only a rough draft I'm kind of unsure about putting it out there, but I have made an account on the site and once I start learning my way around things will get better.
And that's all. Bye! God bless!

Goodbye
Goodbye Blogger.com. Hello Weebly.com! Just making sure that everyone is up to speed on the move to Weebly. Since I have so few followers I don't want to lose anyone. So far I'm not regretting my move to Weebly, but it is a little sad to leave Blogger because this is where I started. I still have so much to learn on Weebly.
Anyway, here's the link again. http://juniornovelist4christ.weebly.com/
