First Post

You know how authors always have those websites and blogs about their writing and what goes on in their exciting writer lives - the life that I wish I lead?

Those blogs were all created after they got famous, so while they do have an accurate description of what a writer goes through you don't actually see them go through it, do you? And that's why I' making this blog. Consider it me thinking ahead.

My name is Claudia and I'm thirteen years old. This blog is going to be my author page when I get published (*crosses fingers* Please?) if it's deemed worthy. I don't know if you need to approve your author page as... I am not an author. I am a writer, though. And it's almost the same thing, just one is published while the other is not.

Here you can see what people actually go through while trying to get published, unless you're going through/went through it yourself. In which case you're probably much smarter than me and are thinking "why didn't she just do what I did?"

I suppose I should actually write the book before I get started with this stuff but... isn't knowing how the writer writes the most important thing?

Plus, now I can procrastinate and still say I'm writing when my parents ask me what I'm doing.

I should really be writing...

I'm working on two books right now (I feel weird saying books... like only authors can. Should I stick with stories? I used to call fanfictions books, and people would mock me.) The Ninth Wave and Rose - which is hopefully not the final title.

You can hear about Rose here: http://polyvore.com/rose/set?id=7319855 (yes, this is my polyvore page. You can read some of my original writing here.)

And Ninth Wave is one of those Magic vs. Science dealies. Thousands of years ago the people didn't create myths to explain the unexplainable - those myths were all true. But nowadays things like eclipses and thunder storms are explained by science. The Gods control mortals if their power was not believed in so they went into hiding and watched the world change around them. Humans had the power to evolve, the Gods did not. And now, in 2009, their fate has finally been sealed. They are to slowly become forgotten, and when the last person forgets them all their power will be gone.

It's time for the Gods to reclaim their power, they tried to start out slowly. They sent out their subjects to stir up fights and frighten the humans to insure that they would be noticed, but the humans just turned to science for the answer. With no other choices magic has finally decided to declare war on science.
