~Look Down, You're Talking to Your Highness~[R]


It was raining really hard earlier with extremely strong wind gusts that knocked out the power. We had a severe thunderstorm wa..."
You'd think they'd have crossing guards.




Mom hasn't been very helpful aside from giving me the idea of the character coming across a girl dying from tuberculosis or cholera and the character turning her into a vampire and one of their servants as a result since the series says this character has more servants than anyone else.
But I don't know...I'm not sure I'll be able to write the character properly and it doesn't help that we don't know very much about them in the series since obviously they're not a main character.
And I'm sure you guys can understand my hesitance since I'm afraid Mom is going to pull the same trick she did before where I work my absolute butt off trying to write a really amazing fanfic about a character I don't really care very much about and then have her freaking snub me and then I'm stuck with something nobody else will really read and something I'm not very happy with. She insists she won't but I don't really trust her word.
I just don't know....I really want my picture but I also don't want to write a fanfic for a character we barely know anything about simply because there is literally nothing to write about concerning them.

🤕: most physically painful moment
Probably when I broke my wrist/arm after falling down a flight of stairs. I still remember trying to put it in my pocket and pulling it out but it as literally so painful. I couldn't move it. It felt like a huge jolt of pain, like a really sharp pain that traveled through my body like lighting.
👻: favourite halloween costume you’ve ever worn?
Maybe my fairy princess costume? My mom put pink glitter on my face to match. Or my robot costume? Or when I went as Juuzou Suzuya last year? Oh, I just can't decide!

Disposal camera.
⌨: can you touch type?
I didn't know there was another way to do it!

"You are such a nice person! I heard you were sweet and you are! So sweet and kind to everyone!"
Moon: Try and describe your favourite emotion with a situation.
Dizzying. The room can't stop spinning. Perhaps one shouldn't have eaten so much at this place. Stomach growls and grumbles. You feel as if your eyes have turned green from all of your nausea. Maybe your eyes aren't green, but your face certainly is. You cough, burp, and then retch. It burns your throat and mouth coming up. Thank goodness it didn't come out your nose...this time.
Mercury: What is your favourite type of humour?
Probably really random things. Like I can't even pinpont what I will laugh at at any given day. But I do really love historical jokes, AKA jokes about historical events.
Venus: What is your love language; when others express their love for you verbally, when others express their love for you physically, when others express their love for you with thoughtful gifts and other material items, when others express their love for you by completing tasks so you don’t have to or when others willingly choose to spend time with you?
I think my love language is spending a lot of time with that person, giving them presents relevant to their interests, making them cards and doing what they want to do. I want to make that person feel extremely special because they are worth that to me.

Naive people, people who drive straight through zones where they're required by law to stop and wait, watery yogurt

To never have to worry about money ever again.

No more bigots. Being a bigot would be outlawed.
Neptune: What is your most common daydream?
Being a princess.

2nd house: You’ve just won 100,000 dollars, what’s the first thing you buy?
Ooooh a sandwich from Subway!
3rd house: Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction books?
Fiction. I read non-fiction only if I already know I enjoy the topic, like for example I've read a lot of non-fiction about the Russian Empire or famous pandemics.
4th house: What does your dream home look like?
A giant white mansion with a bunch of windows right on the beach. There'd be like four or five levels. Oh, and of course a storm shelter out back. A garage to house my pink Ferrai. And I'd like a small playground in my backyard.
5th house: How would you choose to spend a first date?
Something pretty traditional like a dinner or movie date. I'd really like to take my date to Lake Lemon though just because I think it would be fun, but I understand most people would be put-off by Lake Lemon.
6th house: Do you work better with a routine, or in chaos?
I need a routine and a schedule or I will never get anything done.
7th house: What is your ‘type’?

11th house: Are you the type of person you would want to be friends with? Why/why not?
I'd like to be friends with myself. I'm a very amusing person and also genuinely kind. I think most people would feel good after spending the day with me.
12th house: Talk about a dream you’ve had that has stuck with you.
I once had a dream where I was a boy. The actual plot of the dream doesn't matter, but the reason why it sticks with me is because there was a scene where I was going to pee but I woke up before it could happen and my ex-boyfriend was really mad at me for waking up 'right before it got good' lol
Aries: What are you passionate about?
My writing.
Taurus: What is your favourite thing to do when you’re bored?
Put some music on and start dancing around in my room.
Gemini: What’s something that’s almost guaranteed to lift your mood?
Talking or RPing with my friends.
Cancer: How do you normally show you care about someone?
I make things for them like cards or moodboards related to their favourite characters because I listen to them.
Leo: Which super power would you choose to have?
Maybe invisibility?
Virgo: Does mess annoy you, or does it not bother you?
I hate messes. I don't think I could stand to be around someone who didn't clean up after themselves. I'm very paranoid about germs and bugs and stuff like that.

I once stole a bunch of fancy Dove chocolate from a teacher in fourth grade. She never figured out it was me but I was overcome with so much guilt. I forced myself to throw up the chocolate in the bathroom and went to the teacher crying and confessed what I had done. She was surprised by how honest I was and told me she hadn't even realized what had happened, and when I was getting punished part of me regretted coming clean to her.

A medical kit
Some food/drink to last me for a while
A swimsuit



I feel sick to my stomach too....

Me: *sweats nervously* "Yeah, isn't it so gross when people stick out their tongue?"

This place in town that's literally a 'splash pad'. It's just a bunch of different types of fountains and you run around the different fountains and get wet. There's also a playground and giant sandbox at the place. I've been there several times before with the youth group, it was always the last thing we did at the end of summer as a huge celebration. Now that Mom has a car though, she can take us since it's super far down south in town. The buses don't go down there.

cherry turnover: who do you live with?
My mom and brothers.
bananas foster: do you believe in soulmates?
Yes!
glazed donut: would you rather visit a zoo or an aquarium?
I think an aquarium. I have good memories of visiting them and I love seeing the creatures swimming around in tanks. And in some places you can even pet the animals. And I love seeing dolphin shows. And it feels really spooky when you walk through shark or dolphin tunnels because it's all dark and you see the animals swimming around all over you.
pumpkin pie: what were your interests as a child?
They haven't really changed...lol I used to be really interested in horseback riding but since I never went I eventually stopped being interested. I also used to be extremely interested in sewage-treatment plants...

Two.
chocolate mousse: how is your relationship with your parents?

creme brûlée: describe your style
Girly, stylish, bohemian
cheesecake: have you ever visited a sex shop?
Does Spencer's Gifts count? When I went with my mom they had vibrators and dildos and even ball gags. My mom and I had an entire conversation about which anime characters we think would look hot with a ball gag in their mouth. She also jokingly told me I had no idea what vibrators or dildos were.
raspberry sorbet: favorite clothing stores?
Claire's? It's not really a clothing store though...Hot Topic?
green tea ice cream: who was your first crush?
Some boy in fourth grade named Jonathan or something.
chocolate chip cookie: how has your life changed over the past year?
For starters, we got a car. That means we'll be able to do more stuff but we'll also have way less money than before because of the car payments. So already that's a huge change. People online are busier than they were before and I feel like I've gotten more free time in exchange. I've been trying to be more positive.
berry trifle: first & last concert you went to?
I've never been to any concerts...
tapioca pudding: favorite animated characters?
How can I pick just one?!
fudge brownie: do you like your name?
Ew, no. I hate my name so much. I want to change it. I often lie about my name online.
strawberry shortcake: are you good at keeping secrets?
I think so, but people don't really trust me with any secrets.
tiramisu: are you daring when it comes to makeup & clothing or do you like to play it safe?
I'm very daring when it comes to clothing. I want to be seen as a very sexy person and I hope my clothing reflects that. I've even gone without my panties or bra a few times. To school. I've also worn see-through outfits and super short shorts that show my underwear.
oreo milkshake: do you sleep a lot?
Yeah...probably less than other people my age do. Or do I sleep more? I don't even know anymore.

I usually watch something I know I'm really going to like.

I don't know...I don't think I look like any celebrities.
macaron: what is your ethnicity?
Caucasian.
cinnamon bun: favorite salty snack?
Pretzels.
red velvet cupcake: ask any question of your own
Uhhhhh....do you enjoy reading my answers to these?

sunflower: if there was a door that went to a city that was a good representation of you, what city would it be and would you go through the door?
I think Bloomington is a good representation of me! And I wouldn't need to go through the door because I'm already here.
pink: sunsets or sunrises?
Sunrises.
freshly cut grass: are you an early riser? if not, is this because you stay up late?
I am an early riser! Even when I go to bed late I often end up waking up early. Like this morning I woke up at seven when I went to bed at two. It's just a habit I guess.
journal: would you dye your hair if you had the opportunity? why or why not?
I totally would! I've dyed my hair before. I want to have a really weird hair colour.
painting: in what ways are you creative?
With my writing. I feel like I could really express a lot of who I am with it.
waves: is there one music genre you can’t listen to?
Don't hate me, but....classical. There's some exceptions but a lot of times when I listen to classical music I get extremely bored and have to turn it off.
writing: do you write letters? if not, would you like to be?
I used to write letters all of the time to my dad's side of the family. Looking back on it, it was likely more 'etiquette' training because I was drilled on how to write and the proper etiquette for writing letters-yes, it does exist-but I genuinely had fun writing letters and getting ones back in return. My dad's mom saved all of my letters though she lost almost all of them in Hurricane Katrina. She only has two left. I would love to start writing letters for someone again though.
waterfalls: describe your perfect date.
Making some food and watching something on TV and just laughing, talking, and having a good time with each other.
freckles: what’s something that makes you happy? describe the first thing that comes to your head.
Summertime. Going outside and visiting the library or going swimming. The small sense of independence I get from it. All of the music I discover over the summer.
dimples: would you rather be inviting on a hike or a night out?
A night out!
blushing: describe a rad person you know.
My best friend is such a nice person. Even if she doesn't fully understand what's going on or how to help, she will still try her best to help out. She is very good if you need someone to talk to for a while because she always listens. I feel lucky I befriended her when I did because she actually really dislikes people and isn't very social at all, but you wouldn't know that from how she acts around me.
watercolour: talk about something someone you are interested in can do that never fails to make you find them attractive?
I'm not attracted to anyone...
pine: if you could only smell one scent for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mom's cookies
pink eyeshadow: pasta or pizza?
Pizza
icy: homemade or takeout?
Homemade, although I personally don't really care.
rosè: what’s your opinion on shyness?
I can see why some people find it cute, but I find it really annoying. I don't know why, but I always seem to attract people like that in real life and I dislike it because I have trouble connecting to them even when I find a common interest.
clouds: list your top 5 songs at the moment and how they make you feel
In no particular order:
Get Low by Zedd and Liam Payne: I couldn't stop jamming to this last summer when it came out and I still can't stop listening to it! I really love this song a lot!
Bad Decisions by Ariana Grande: I'm annoying my mom by how much I sing this, lol. I really like it because it reminds me of some of my favourite anime characters.
Raise Your Glass by P!nk: Probably my alltime favourite song, need I say more?
Highschool of the Dead opening: I know this is a really random choice but I've been listening to this song a lot lately and I really really like it. It's so badass and goes with pretty much anything.
Roman Holiday by Nicki Minaj: I don't really have an explanation for this one...I just like it haha

Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande
Oh No! by Marina and the Diamonds
We R Who We R by Ke$ha
There's a lot more... lol
white sheets: where’s somewhere you would love to travel to?
why?
I would love to travel to Iceland. It seems like such a fairy-tale kingdom and so unreal at times. My grandparents being pagan just makes me want to visit the nation even more because their particular sort of paganism is inspired by Nordic paganism. They have Nordic symbols and viking stuff all over their house.
black nail polish: what do you do to pamper yourself?
Buy a bunch of snacks and candy. I don't get to eat stuff like that very often so when there's a lot of extra money left I go to the small store near my house and absolutely go to town.
hidden beaches: do you prefer to hang out in a big group or one on one?
I like to hang out in big groups! I love hearing different stories from different people.

Shiny, bouncy, curly, healthy, short, easy-to-manage, the colour of an Irish maiden's hair

Hair: What hair color looks best on you and what's your natural color?
I'm naturally a brunette. I think blonde looks the best on me?
Skin: Do you tan easily?
Yes. I'm starting to tan right now as a matter of fact. I have to be extremely careful in the summer to not get any weird tanlines because they will appear if I'm not careful. One summer I got extremely dark because I spent every waking moment in the sun. My hair turned really blonde too.
Eyes: What is your favorite show to watch?
Right now I'm really liking Penny Dreadful mainly because I've been bingewatching it with Mom lately.

Anything really fruity.

I play trombone.
Heart: Are you in love? If so, does the one you love know?
Nope to both.
Lungs: Do you smoke cigarettes?
No.
Chest: Are your maternal/parental instincts strong?
I think I have a strong maternal instinct. I love children and want to take care of my own some day.
Stomach: Do you feel confident in your body image?
95% of the time I'm confident. I feel like a very sexy person and I don't even care who disagrees. They're just jealous I have so much confidence and they don't.
Legs: Are you flexible?
Yes. I can put both legs behind my head and still touch the floor with my feet.
Hips: Do you like to dance?
I do! I don't even care if I'm not the best at it. I'm just having so much fun doing it!
Thighs: Has anyone ever called you ugly?
Lots of people call me ugly...

Writer Ask Game
1: What age-group do you write?
I write for the YA audience, but I don't really want to be limited to one age group because I feel like most age groups could enjoy my writing. I've noticed what categorizes a book as one age group as opposed to another is simply the age of the main character. Some of my books will likely be considered middle grade for that reason, and some others would be adult. But strictly speaking, I will specialize in YA.
2: What genre do you write?
I write mainly historical fiction, but I also have a few sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary ideas.
3: Do you outline according to big ideas or small details?
A lot of my stories come to me as a single scene, not one big idea. I often write down that one scene and then form a story to go along with it. Like one sci-fi plot I have in mind originally started as a scene of a girl telling the main character her name was Ferrum and that it means something really beautiful on her planet and the main character replying in disgust that Ferrum on Earth means metal. I took that scene and created a bigger plot around it.
4: Which do you prefer--line-editing or plot-revisions?
Plot-revisions.
5: Do you write better with or without deadlines?
I write better with deadlines. Then I can schedule my time better, figure out how much I need to write each day, and plan my day around that.
6: What would be the biggest compliment you could hope to receive on your current WIP?
"What a beautiful and decadent writing style. Everything was dripping in lush detail and I never once for a second I had doubted I was anywhere else but Imperial Lithuania,"
7: How long is your current WIP?
Ninety pages long and I can't believe I actually wrote something that is ninety pages long!!!! And it's not even finished yet!!!!
8: What author would you be most excited to be compared to?
Ruta Sepetys because she is my writing idol. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to be compared to her since I want to develop my own writing style.
9: What do you struggle most with as a writer?
Trying to take things slowly and expanding on the story instead of rushing through the plot to get more exciting scenes. I need to take my time and let things between the characters, whether that be relationships or plot, develop naturally.
10: Do you brain-storm story ideas alone or with others?
I always have at least six or seven story ideas floating around in my head at any given time.
11: Do you base your characters off of real people?
Sometimes! A lot of my works are historical fiction so a lot of times real people make appearances; sometimes they're fictionalized and sometimes they're not. I also model my characters after some of my friends.
12: Is your writing space clean or cluttered?
It's clean currently.
13: Do you write character-driven or plot-driven stories?
A little bit of both? Like I'm annoyed by purely character-driven stories but I feel like a lot of what I write is more watching a character grow and develop than anything super plot-heavy....in fact the plot tends to just be watching that character on their journey.
14: Do you have a favorite writing-related quote?
Pretty much everything from Kurt Vonnengard's writing tips. But some of my personal favourites from that collection are:
"Make all of your characters want something, even if it is only a glass of water."
"Leave nothing unanswered. Make the answers so obvious that even if cockroaches ate the last page your readers would still be satisfied."
And the best one:
"Write only for yourself. If your story opened the window and made love to everyone it came across it would get pneumonia and so would you."
15: If you transport your original characters into another author’s world, which world would you choose?
I'd like to transport my characters to Camp Half-Blood. I don't know why, I just think it'd be interesting to see how they'd react in a place like that.
16: Would your story work better as a movie or tv show? Why?
Probably a movie? As long as all of the key points were hit I wouldn't have a problem with them cutting some stuff out. It doesn't seem complex enough to be fleshed-out into a TV series.
17: Do you make soundtracks for each story?
It depends on my mood, but I usually don't unless I'm really feeling a particular way.
18: If you could assign your story one song, what would it be?
The one I'm working on would likely be described best with the song Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis. I mean, it is a retelling of Les Mis....
19: Would you rather live in your characters’ world, or have your characters come live in our world?
I'd rather live in my characters' world because almost all of them live in the Russian Empire!
20: What book would you love to see adapted for the big or small screen?
Incarceron. They almost made a movie adaption of it back in 2011 or something but they never did. I love that book and I think it would look amazing as a movie or mini-series with how trippy and steampunkish it is.
21: Do you finish most of the stories you start?
Yes, actually.
22: Has your own writing ever made you cry?
When I was really young it did but it doesn't anymore, lol
23: Are you proud or anxious to show off your writing?
I'm both. I'm proud on the one hand because I know I'm a good writer deep down and that I have unique ideas. But on the other hand, I'm anxious because I don't know what the other person will think of it.
24: When did you start considering yourself a writer?
When I was around twelve and I started to write actual stories instead of just fanfics and put them on writing websites. That was when I realized I wanted to actually make a career out of it.
25: What books are must-reads in your genre?
Anything by Ruta Sepetys. This is probably controversial but I would also suggest Philippa Gregory and Michelle Moran. And Evelyn Skye's The Crown's game series too. I'm not sure if it counts as being 'historical fiction' but stuff from Twain, Dickens, and Tolstoy have inspired me and influenced me greatly so I would suggest them too, especially Tolstoy.
26: What would you like to see more of in your genre?
More obscure time periods or well-known historical events but told through the eyes of someone who lives in a nation that experienced that event but isn't written about very often, like Italy in WW2. And can we please stop writing about France? I swear, a bunch of YA historical fiction coming out next year all take place in France.
27: Where do you get inspiration from?
Everywhere. I often get inspiration from watching anime as cringy as that might sound. Some of my future ideas are even modeled after famous anime plots. But a huge majority of them are fairy-tale retellings, so you could say I get my inspiration from those original fairytales.
28: On a scale of 1-10, how much do you stress about choosing character names?
A thousand and ten.
29: Do you tend to underwrite or overwrite in a first draft?
Underwrite. If anything, my very first draft is just a collection of short notes about what I want to expand on and add in in future drafts.
30: Does writing calm you down or stress you out?
It stresses me out, actually. I start thinking about how my idea isn't original, how my characters aren't very good, how people will react to it, and eventually I can't focus at all.

31: What trope do you actually like?
Someone who was once at the top of the world being knocked down and being forced to associate with people they normally never would've, like a princess being made to hang out with townspeople after losing her fortune. It can take on many forms.
32: Do you give your side-characters extensive backstories?
I try to at least write small notes about their backstories. I also talk about their sexualities, hobbies, interests, fashion sense, likes/dislikes, etc. just in case. I often don't discuss things like sexualities in my work because it's not something that's on my mind at the time, but if I get asked at like some sort of event I would be able to answer them.
33: Do you flesh-out characters before you write, or let their personalities develop over time?
I at least have some kind of idea in mind for their personality. Sometimes it's as simple as saying 'I want them to be the opposite of this character' and I start to write them like that. Once I have that idea, then I start to flesh-them out in the actual story.
34: Describe your old writing in one word.
Messy
35: Is it more fun to write villains or heroes?
I know a lot of people would say villains, but I have more fun writing heroes. A lot of people dislike heroes in stories and find them to be boring or predictable. But I love heroes and oftentimes relate to them far more than I do the villains. I want to write interesting, complex heroes-but still have them be the heroes. I want to show people heroes can be interesting and engaging too.
36: Do you write with a black and white sense of morality?
I sure hope not! I want to try and make heroes who have questionable ways of attaining what they want, which in the end is a good goal, but they have questionable or even bad ways of getting to that end.
37: What’s one piece of advice you would give to new writers?
Read books in the genera you want to write in. Doesn't really matter the age group unless you already have a certain age group in mind for your writing. Find out the tropes and cliches in that genera. Find out the typical writing style. Ask yourself: "What isn't being done in this genera?" And then do that.
38: What’s one piece of writing advice you try--but fail--to follow?
To not write for anyone but myself. I want to write for myself, but at the same time I am aware of the audience I'm trying to write for.
39: How important is positive reinforcement to you as a writer?
It's very important to me. I know I'm not the best writer out there so I need a lot of encouragement to keep on going.
40: What would you ask your favorite author if given one question?
Well, I already asked Ruta Sepetys a question! Lol so if I had to ask Evelyn Skye one question, I would ask her how she responds to all of the negative reviews, since I know not a lot of people liked her debut novel.
41: Do you find it distracting to read while you’re writing a first draft?
Not really.
42: Do critiques motivate or discourage you?
They actually motivate me! Maybe it's because I don't really receive any negative comments, but seeing positive feedback really motivates me to continue doing what I'm doing!
43: Do you tend to write protagonists like yourself or unlike yourself?
A lot of my protagonists are a lot like me, it seems. I try to not make it obvious though. I try to experiment with different personalities and sometimes I throw my own in there.
44: How do you decide what story idea to work on?
I work on whichever one is pressing against me the most. By that I mean the story idea that literally won't leave me alone no matter what I do. Even if I write down just a little bit of it and put it away for a while, I still feel relieved that I got something out there and not keeping it in my head anymore.
45: Do you find it harder or easier to write when you’re stressed out?
It's actually harder for me to write when I'm stressed-out....but most of the time when I'm stressed-out I write so....lol
46: What Hogwarts house would your protagonist(s) be in?
Hufflepuff maybe? Or Ravenclaw.
47: Where do you see yourself as a writer in five years?
As a published author with two or three books out already.
48: Would you ever co-write?
Yes! It's actually a dream of mine to cowrite with another author. I would love to cowrite with someone and see our ideas combine!
49: Are you a fast and rushed writer or a slow and deliberate writer?
I'm a very fast writer...but lately I've been trying to take it slow and go over all of my work.
50: Would you rather be remembered for your fantastic world-building or your lifelike characters?
I'd rather be remembered for lifelike characters. I've noticed a lot of books that have amazing worldbuilding tend to have generic characters. But books where the worldbuilding doesn't matter have these characters that people cry and scream over. I want to be remembered for that and have people say things like 'these characters are so good!'







It's a little bit surprising to me that I survived, and its scary to me as well, because with all the recent school shootings, I worry for the future generation of freshmans and seniors. People should feel safe, not threatened. And to those who are going through a rough time in their life, do the best you can, and stick it out. Don't listen to the demons in your head that tell you can't. Listen to the voice of optimism, and improve.
I know this a little cliché, but it's important to me to let you know, its going to be okay. Because, look at me, I made it out, and Im just some girl nobody really knew or talked to that much. But, I have improved, and now a lot of you know who I am, even as embarrassing as that sounds.
But, anyway, hope you all have a great summer, and hope to a better future. I have faith in all of you, even more than I had faith in myself the first day of high school.
Awwww I almost teared up when I read this!!! <3

It was raining really hard earlier with extremely strong wind gusts that knocked out the power. We had a severe thunderstorm watch in effect earlier but they cancelled it an hour ago. Basically I thought it would be fine to walk to the library since it's currently not raining or anything, just windy. But the power had been knocked out all over town. The stoplights didn't work and neither did the walk signs. So I think you can understand how much danger I was in when I had to cross extremely busy streets but luckily the drivers were very nice and let me cross. But it still made me nervous to see all of these people driving around without working streetlights. Almost everything in town was closed due to not having power and I quickly realized why barely anybody was out today. Thursday is often a very busy day in town here, especially in the summer. I honestly thought the library was going to be closed too but they got their power fixed it seems. There were a lot of tree branches strewn around town from the wind gusts.
So yeah, I probably shouldn't have gone to the library today if almost everyone has their power out...I hope it'll be fixed by tonight. I'm worried about trying to cross a busy street in the dark without any working stoplights or walk signs.
