#BringBackTheTravelers #SaveTheTravelers, Please!

So I get that Katy is busy with school and all, and I get that almost no one gets on here anymore. I also get that sometimes you just aren't inspired to write stories, so you don't for a long time, and then after a while they just never get finished (what do you think happens to everything I start writing, oh that's right they just sit on my computer where no one can find them, because they never get finished!).
But I also feel like if you post part of a story on your blog for the world to read and fall in love in with the characters that you should not just leave said loved characters in terrible circumstances never to be saved. All fictional characters deserve an end, whether good, bad, or just down right terrible. And all readers that are in love in with said fictional characters deserve to get to read said ending, whether it be good, bad or just down right terrible. I also feel that "Her torch revealed a long, straight tunnel on the other side." is not an ending, if it was it'd be worse then down right terrible. I mean, what's on the other side of the tunnel? Do the people that they're trying to escape from find the tunnel and follow them?
So anyways all this to say that I understand that a couple months ago Katy said she was in a rut with writing the Travelers, but I also feel that after almost two years it's time the Travelers returned and got an ending. I alsooooo happen to know that someone is on break till the end of January and surely that's enough time get out of a rut and at least start towards an ending. 
In the mean time……. to help you get past writers block to help you get out of your rut to help you write more, to help be sure your fans don't get mad and stop talking to you, and to be sure that Taylor, Frank, Falcon, Rita, and Thoren and get the ending they deserve here's a video all about how to get over writers block! ;)

P.S. What I really want for Christmas is for you to bring back the Travelers. I know you can't really wrap that up with a bow on top, but all the same…if you did finish it you could, cause you could print it off and then wrap it up with a bow on top. Also I realize that you probably won't be able to finish it by the end of break but even just a short part 16 would be am amazing! Also in case you forget what happened last, here's a hint. ;)

SURPRRRRISE!

Someone is actually posting on here!!!! Please do me a favor and don't all die of shock! Thank you! Much appreciated!
Anyway this has been a lively year on this blog, what with all SIX posts. That's one every other month! Except not really cause most of them were in January, and the year I guess still has like a month and half left... Oh and this is the seventh post of the year so anyway this is going nowhere.
Well anyway... It's the day before Thanksgiving, sooooo HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)
Anyone want to take a wild guess at what made me decide to post on here? DING DING DING! you guessed it! I was bored! It's the night before Thanksgiving remember? So none of the holiday fun has started but all the pre-holiday work is done. :)
Anyway so if you all are looking for some great new music, I would just like to suggest the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. Seriously, even if you don't like the movie the music is really good! Both the score and the other stuff. The score is composed by James Newton Howard who I have never heard of before but he did a really good job! So if you like the scores from movies I defiantly go give it a listen and then the other music has some great songs on it too, Coldplay has a song on it called Atlas which is really cool, most the other people I've never really heard and to my knowledge haven't really heard any of there other stuff but I like their songs on the soundtrack! :) Plus if you are looking for a movie to go see Catching Fire was amazing!!! I plan to go see again if I can! Just be warned it is kinda sad, and I was supposedly crying for like half the movie (I don't think it was that much of the movie but w/e) but a movie that can make me cry that much must be good! And actually it's not really THAT sad.  However if you want a happy make you feel good movie I'd probably pick a different movie go see. Oh and for all you LOTR fans, there was a preview for the Hobbit before Catching Fire when I went which was pretty awesome so you could always go just to see that. ;)
Welp anyway once again HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! have a great weekend!!! :) Be Thankful, be happy and eats something yummy!


p.s. I'll to post again before the end of the year, but I don't make any promises!

popcorn

That's right people! It's time to get down to busyness! We are talking about POPCORN today! ;) Why? because it's a very...important and...tasty food! Without popcorn movies would be less popcorny! and then what would the people who work at theaters have to clean up after all of us sloby movie goers? GASP! not peanuts! And then what would all those poor people that are allergic to peanuts eat? Surly we can not deprive them of that buttery goodness now!!
Okay but no really, popcorn is really just an amazing food! It starts out these hard kernel things and then you heat it up and this fluffy white yumminess come BURSTING out and it's like a butterfly coming out of it's...shel! And then you can put butter and salt and other seasoning on it and make it even yummier! And it's soo crunchy and salty and yummy and you can put cheese powder on it and then it's REALLY YUMMY!!! And even that popcorn with carmel or w/e it is all over it is good! And to think that orthodontists don't let all those poor kids with braces eat any popcorn for TWO HOLE YEARS just breaks my little hart! Okay not really but if there are any orthodontists reading this, take it from someone that had braces it's just mean not let us eat popcorn for that long!
Anyway if you really think about it we can learn from popcorn! Just cause someone is hard and hurts like when you try eating a kernel doesn't mean they can't change, just show them a little warmth and heat them up (in a good way) and POP they can be fluffy and soft! Like kittens. But remember, just like kernels not everyone will change because there are always those kernels at the bottom of the pot that won't pop.
p.s. this is Katy and I totally agree, popcorn is awesome!!! :) try some! eat some! have some more!!

College! Yay...and...AAAAH!

Let's face it, all of us teens who are getting old enough to be thinking about college: it's scary!! It's exciting, yes, but also scary! Suddenly it's like we're changing at a faster pace than before; we're thinking about what it's going to be like not to be in high school anymore. Before you know it, you're faced with a lot of big decisions.

Which college shall I go to???

AAAHH!! Should I take the SAT (or replace with another standardized test!) again??

Oh no! I don't know what I want to study!!

I don't feel like getting in my application(s). It sounds like too much work!

My answers to these questions were split between easy and difficult.
My answer to question one was easy, because I wanted to go to Uconn. I know, though, that some people have a hard time choosing which colleges to apply to, and ultimately, which one they want to study at.
Question 2: I felt like I could do a better job if I took the SAT again, and I did do a better job! So--my advice? If your instinct is saying you could do better, take the test again; you won't regret it.
The "what to study" question is difficult! I am down as a pre-teaching major for Uconn, as I am thinking about studying special ed and possibly social work (which would necessitate grad school). I'm not sure, though, if any of this is actually what I want to do! I might change the major once, twice, who knows? I think the important thing is that you choose SOMETHING you MIGHT want to do, and try it out, or if, as you're thinking it over, consider changing it if suddenly you think, "Geez, I REALLY don't want to major in that!" Also, you can always change your major after you start college! Plenty of people do this.
The answer to question 4 is, get down and just fill out those applications! I ended up doing early decision for Uconn and was VERY happy I did so, even though I got started a bit later than I should have. I have already gotten their decision back, and now I don't have to worry about getting it in later. The applications aren't that hard once you just get to work on them.
Just thought I'd talk a bit about my own experience as far as getting ready for college, etc. I hope this is helpful for anyone else who is facing the "YAY! COLLEGE! COLLEGE? SCARY!" period of life. :)
