***************  

You are walking into your neighborhood, miserable. You just got out of school, and it's Winter Break. You should be happy, but you aren't. you are going to be stuck in your boring house the whole break, with no access to the Chatterbox. This is because you are grounded.

For reading. Reading! 

Well, that isn't exactly the whole story. 

The day before yesterday, you were reading an extremely immersing fantasy novel. You were in the middle of a very suspenseful part when your parent yelled,"Lights out!" You tried to argue, but your parent cut you off. "I don't care how good your book is. You need to get some sleep." You wanted to scream that they didn't understand, that you simply had to keep reading. But you kept quiet; there was no use in arguing. You sighed and turned off your lamp.

Five mintues later, you pulled your covers over your head, along with three quilts on top to make sure your flashlight wouldn't shine through and give you away. You turned it on. It was supposed to be used for emergencies only. And this was an emergency. A book emergency.

You continued reading, feeling excited. You wanted to scream with giddy delight when the main character finally kissed that girl, but you could only smile silently. You wanted to punch the wall when the main character's best friend betrayed him, but you could only grit your teeth. Then that charming wizard guy died. You dropped the book, shaking.

"Nooooooooo!" you wailed. "No, no, no, I hate you, author!"

Your bedroom door flew open, and your parent rushed it. It all went downhill from there.

"I am confiscating your book for two da-" your parent started. Suddenly there was a flash, and the room seemed to shudder. For a second, your parent's eyes turned scarlet. Then everything went back to normal, and you forgot all about that weird thing that just occured.

Your parent's voice was cold. "You are grounded. For the entire Winter Break. No screen time, no blogging, and no leaving the house."

Now you are walking home, dead leaves crunching beneath your feet.

You arrive at your house and open the mailbox. Something flies into your hands. It's a letter:

----- 

Dear Chatterboxer and Book Lover,

You have been invited to be in the first group of people to stay at the newly constructed Island Paradise Resort! The Resort sits on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the entire island is owned by the Resort. We are its only inhabitants. You will be taken to the island on a first-class private jet. Once you arrive, prepare to have a world of fun!

Our Resort is made up of a four-story luxury hotel, a beautiful beach, a small amusement park, a five-star restaurant, multiple relaxation areas, three thrilling waterslides, a peaceful forest, and absolutely no murders!

And the best part is...it's all FREE*!!!

The length of your stay depends on the number of people attending. If you choose, you may bring  one AE and/or one CAPTCHA. We will pick you up from your home. Watch for our purple limousine.

We are not responsible for any pain, excruciating pain, deaths, excruciatingly painful deaths, or pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows.

See you there,

Island Manager 

*You will have to pay for the popcorn. 

-----

You pack your belongings right away, and as soon as you finish, a shiny violet limousine parks in front of your house. You run outside, dragging your AE and(/or) your CAPTCHA with you. The car door opens, and you get in. Before you know it, you are driven away in a whirl of mauve.

*************** 

I will let you all know when we have enough people, and then no more people can join. 

And you may start guessing as to who I am starting the moment you join.

Woohoo! Yes, Owlgirl! You have incredible amounts of dedication just for coming back time and again for us. We won't resent you for having a life. I'm not in your story, but I've been following it since the start. I'm so excited that this is coming back (only to end soon though... :(). 

Happy Storytelling, 

Kestrel

Hiya guys. So, today was the first day (though it's my 3rd year) of an intensive two-week choir camp, which I will rant about some time later. It's only a little shorter than like, a school day. I also have dance classes, volunteering, and possibly some rehearsal stuff, but those aren't everyday. So yes, Im busy, but not stressed...and it's summer!

I won't post anything tomorrow but tomorrow I'll still be making progress. I'll be doing some outlining, planning, remembering and rep putting slightly....that way once I start drafting I can just go go go! Well for the most part. I think many of you, as writers (most people on the CB are) will understand that unfortunately the writing flow is not always, well....it's not quite so go go go. Who knows, I'm no fortune teller!

After all this planning, I may start drafting. Or start that tomorrow if I'm more busy. 

As for actually posting stuff, I'll toy with different methods. (Methods of posting meaning: writing a bit, then posting that bit, then writing a bit etc or wrote some, post half of it, continue off of that or write everything and release it in parts, etc etc etc etc! That kind of thing.) I'm definitely not just typing new stuff straight onto the CB though....that was fine for earlier in the CB, just "streaming live from my brain" which is how I do most things....but since the story's getting more intense, I must plan.

My main goal with "posting methods" is to keep my writers juices flowing and drafting...while still trying to balance that with actually getting stuff up so you guys can see. Although, keep in mind, I may prioritize the first one.

 

That's a lot I just wrote, sorry! Bottom line: I'm somewhat busy, but I'm starting to gather my thoughts, will start drafting soon...and do not know how frequently I'll post although I do know that I'll frequently be writing on paper. Hope that's clear. :)

First of all, Owly, I just want to reach through the screen somehow and give you a huge hug for being so amazing. 

Not only have you had the grit and the determination to pick yourself up again and keep going even when you really, REALLY don't feel like it, but your writing remains so beautiful, funny, suspenseful, and generally full of heart. Doing all that is a feat that I could never accomplish in a million years.

We have ALL been in the "Life is super busy and there's no time to breathe let alone write" times, and nobody blames you for that. 

So..... yeah. Seriously, we all love you to pieces Owly, and no amount of absence is going to change that. :D
