Half Life

My most in-depth story to date. Please keep in mind that the first two were created a year ago and the plot has greatly changed since then.

The great nobles of Cenaire, the elfin nation, force human slaves to do their bidding. This has been practice for many seasons, and the humans are hopeless. A few elves and humans work together, united under a common cause.

Now, Faerín and Raanmir, two siblings, must figure out where they stand in life. Should they rally the slaves together under their half elf, half human names or should they flee and live the normal life they've always wanted?

2238

This is my most recent writing project. Originally, I wanted to make this a short story. As I wrote more, I realized it had enough information to be novel sized. The title is pronounced "twenty-two thirty-eight."

Emri and her friend, Aozora, are forced back to their country of origin: the United States. In 2238, America is behind the times in technology and medicine. Having grown up in Japan before moving to England, being deported is like a death sentence for the young college students.

The Realm Within

My first full-fledged novel idea. I put it on the back-burner because I wanted to improve my writing before I continued on with it. While the story is cliché and trite as it is now, I want to renovate and remodel it in the future.

Seraph hates school and city life. Everything feels out of place. When her family is attacked by a strange being named Kirael, she is taken into a whole new world.

Since this story is so old, it might not be such a good read. My summary does not do the story justice, either. I just don't know how to summarize this one.

I love photography! With the advent of my recent DSLR camera purchase, this folder is getting larger and showing no signs of stopping. =)

I love to write, read, play guitar, and hang out/play around with my fiancé. Stories flow out of my head and onto paper constantly! I'm engaged, love the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and the feeling of the wind against my face.

Simply put, I am me.

Nothing too different going on here

Aside from the fact that I can't feel the right side of my face, tongue, and mouth because I got a cavity filling today. That wasn't cool, but it was definitely worth it. My teeth feel cleaner and stronger.

I registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond on Saturday. The registry number is 11548428 or you can search Elisa Ayala on the Bed, Bath and Beyond website. I can't believe the wedding is in three months! April 25th. =D

John is fast asleep right now. God, I love that man. He's just so awesome. :love:

Anywho, I hope y'all are well. Expect a feature soon once I mill around some new writing on my next break. Love you guys!

PS: I've been reading Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. It's a powerful book, to say the least, and a great insight into Japanese society back in during the Great Depression/WWII era. It's definitely worth a read at least once.

Books I've Found Helpful

:pointr: Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer by Roy Peter Clark.
This book has helped me the most out of all the other reference books! It makes sense, explains in a concise way (or at least in a way I can understand), and is funny. What more can you ask for in a how-to-write book?

:pointr: Painless Grammar by Rececca Elliot, PhD.
This is a middle school/high school grammar book. However, I've been reading through it and found that I have been making basic grammar mistakes all the time. This is a non-boring way to learn (or re-learn) the basics of grammar.

:pointr: The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr.
This is the original Elements of Style, written in 1918. There are other, more recent copies (the later ones are written by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White) for sale but this one is online and free so enjoy.

I'll add more to this as my collection grows. This is the basics and more than enough material for the beginning (or intermediate) writer.
