Happy Halloween, everyone! I didn't get a whole lot of work done today because I was busy doing Halloween-y things, but that's okay, because I am going to give to you now a SYNOPSIS. Thanks to someone on the Nightwish forums, I realised that people are reading my blog without having the foggiest of what the book is actually about! I hope I can rectify that!
This book is about a fairy named Rosehips. She's a very kind and hard-working fairy, and she is asked to take the place of Bluebell, the guardian fairy of the Lemon Forest, who is going away for a few days. It takes a lot of trust, but Bluebell is confident Rosehips will do well. She does . . . at first. Things go out of control, however, when she falls asleep on her patrol and something breaks into the forest. When she finds she cannot cope, she leaves the forest altogether, with no one at all to protect the gates. Things go horribly amok in the Lemon Forest, but Wildflower is there, at least, to help protect it. Will Rosehips be able to face coming back to the Lemon Forest to clean up her mess, or will she stay away from Lemon Forest forever? What will Bluebell say when she comes back to such a disaster as Lemon Forest has never before witnessed?
There you have it! Short, but sweet. I hope you get the gist of things; that explains the general plot overview, but doesn't go into too much detail. I still have lots of little surprises and other things going on behind the scenes!
Happy Halloween, everyone, and don't get too sick from the candy.

Day 44
Hello, hello! I apologise for taking such a hiatus, but I needed a week or so to get my bearings together again. I'm into my study week, so I have more free time and I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. I decided to wait until after the weekly progress report so that I would be able to fully remember what I did for next week's progress report.
My goal for this coming week, meaning to be accomplished by Monday, is to finish chapter four and get started on chapter five.
Today I got a bit of writing done and I named the lighthouse-keeper. His name is Marcus McGillp. He will appear soon, so I've been working on his character a bit. I like him a lot. I wrote a fairly large bit as well and changed what I was working on. I didn't like the direction it was heading in at first, so I completely turned it around and now I'm pleased.
Please feel free to read the writing sample beneath this one and let me know how you feel about it. Constructive criticism is always welcomed and appreciated, and I hope you enjoy! Sorry about the wide gap between updates. I hope that won't happen again.

Day 33 + writing sample
No writing today. I've been busy doing stuff before I go away tomorrow! There's so much to do! Since I'll be away, I'll be unable to work on the book. In any event, here is the sample I promised! I hope you enjoy it! It's not very short, so it should give followers of the blog a little something to read while I'm away! Enjoy!

Wildflower was a fairy who loved to travel. She was named for that, as when she was younger she would often get lost in the Forest and her parents would never know where she was. She was wild and free, and she liked nothing more than soaring through the open sky and letting the wind blow through her red and gold hair. She couldn't stay away for too long, though, and she often found herself coming back to Lemon Forest for a few days to talk with friends of her travels and to give them trinkets from her travels. She looked ahead of her and saw the Forest, the lemons on the branches shining like yellow gems in the sunlight. She noticed the Forest seemed to be enveloped with a sort of fog, but things looked otherwise peaceful. As she neared the Forest, though, she realised how very wrong that was. She took a look at the entrance and saw that it had been cracked entirely in two! Such things never happened in Lemon Forest, so she was clearly very surprised.
"Bluebell?" she called as she drew ever nearer. "Bluebell, dear, are you in?" As she stopped by the base of the tower, she looked up and watched as Bluebell came down from the tower.
"Oh, hello," she said vaguely, landing beside Wildflower. "Who are you?" Wildflower stared at her.
"Bluebell, it's me, Wildflower," she said, shocked. "I've only been away for two weeks. Surely you haven't forgotten me in that small time!"
"Oh yes. What can I do for you, then?" Bluebell asked, waving her hand.
"Bluebell, what happened to the gates? They're completely split!" Wildflower cried.
"Oh, just renovating a little. Go on in," Bluebell replied. "No big deal." Wildflower watched Bluebell suspiciously, but she entered the Forest nevertheless. She noticed the deep, gouging footsteps in the path that led into the forest and she felt ill. There was something wrong. There was something about Bluebell, too, that was suspicious. It wasn't just the way she acted, but there was something that looked different, too. It was as though that same sweet Bluebell Wildflower knew had disappeared. She couldn't place what was different about Bluebell's face, but something had certainly changed.
Wildflower decided to take the train to her house. She stopped by the train station, which was a mossy, hollowed-out stump with a brown flag waving from above, and she waited outside. Within a few minutes, she saw the train spiral down a nearby tree. The whistle sounded as the train pulled into the station, coming to a full stop with a mighty screech. From the train came a number of elves, fairies, and their pets. A few stopped to say hello to Wildflower, some squeezing her arm affectionately and asking her how her latest travels went. She gave them half-hearted smiles, her mind obviously elsewhere, and she boarded the train.
"Been awhile, Wildflower!" called Acorn the elf, the train's conductor, from his seat in the front of the train. Wildflower took a seat near the front, as always, so she could tell Acorn of her travels.
"Hello, Acorn," she replied. "I hope you've been well."
"You know me," said Acorn with a big smile. "So long as the train is going, so am I! Tell me about yourself, though. Where have you been these weeks? What have you seen?" As he asked that, a few last stragglers boarded the train and Acorn shut the doors, tugging the train's whistle.
"I saw something strange," said Wildflower, lowering her voice. "Something . . . urgent, here in the forest." Acorn frowned.
"What ever could you mean?" he asked loudly. "In the Lemon Forest? Bluebell wouldn't allow it!"
"That's just what I mean," Rosehips replied, hushing even more to try and keep Acorn from startling passengers on the train. "It was Bluebell who looked strange. And the gate to the forest was broken, but she tried to pass it off as repairs." Acorn frowned even more deeply.
"That doesn't sound right," he said. "Something must be wrong." Wildflower nodded in agreement.
"Have you seen anything strange?" she asked. Acorn shook his head.
"Everything's been right as rain, up until today," he replied. "I can't imagine-"
Suddenly, one of the train's passengers gave out a mighty shriek. Directly following, a violent tremor rocked the train. Wildflower toppled to the ground, and Acorn pounded on the train's brakes.
"Everybody out!" he bellowed.
"What's happening?" Wildflower groaned as she picked herself up off the floor.
"It's a human!" a young-looking elf woman cried on her way out of the train.
"A human?" said Wildflower quietly. "But why would a human try to harm us? Especially if Bluebell let the human in?" Before anyone could answer her question, a sickening crack could be heard, and everything was a blur. When Wildflower was aware of what was happening again, she was outside, and she could see the ruins of the train, broken and splintered and everywhere. Fairies and elves were lying everywhere, but thankfully no one looked injured.
"Wake up!" Wildflower cried. A few elves and fairies stirred, and Wildflower watched as the human walked deeper into the woods.
"We have to do something," she said. "He's going into the Lemon Forest!"
"My train. . . ." groaned Acorn, looking mournfully at the pile of rubble which was once his train.
"We'll have it repaired later," Wildflower replied hastily, waving her hand. "We really need to do something, though! We can't let him get away with this. If he would do this to your train for no reason, what do you think he'll do to the Lemon Forest once he gets in?"
Within moments, Wildflower and everyone who was on the train at the time was heading in the direction led by the human's footsteps in the ground. Wildflower, while not often in Lemon Forest, was fond of the place she called home, and she was determined to protect it, regardless of the cost.

Day 32
I started character design on Jealousy today. I haven't felt much like drawing so I didn't finish her, but she's pretty cute! I might finish drawing her tomorrow, if I feel like it, and I will post her picture if I do. She is very saucy and not nice at all, and as you can probably assume, she is a very jealous girl!
Just a bit of writing done today. Poor Rosehips! That's all I'll say! I'll do some writing tomorrow and post up a sample.

Day 31
Some good progress today! There's a lot of conflict going on in the writing right now, but it's all good conflict and I'm sure it'll be resolved eventually! I wrote in a very nasty villain today. Her name is Jealousy, and she's a wicked fairy from the South Forest. I won't say what place she holds in the story, but let's say that our dear little Rosehips isn't feeling very confident right now.
I made a decision today. This Rosehips book is no longer going to be an illustrated book. I decided on this because I like to encourage children to have an imagination, and to be able to picture things in their minds as well. Because of this, I decided that I would be discouraging children's imaginations by spoonfeeding them images that they could be picturing. I will have a nice cover and back for the book, but I will not do illustrations. I may do a few small black and white drawings for chapter headings, but they will not be relevant to events in the chapter if so. Also, the current events in the story will likely be very confusing when put to an illustration.

Day 30
I was a bit unhappy tonight, so I forced myself to write quite a bit and not surprisingly, I feel a little better. I got chapter three finished! In addition, I wrote a few paragraphs on chapter four. I got through the bit with Wildflower, and perhaps I should have posted that today, but I'd rather post it before I go away this weekend to give you guys something to read while I'm away from the computer!
I feel a little better now that I've written, so I'm going to go work on a few other things now.

Day 29 + weekly progress report
Eeeshhhh. No, I haven't died, and nor have I given up. Just this past weekend has been busy! I was at a wedding and Halloween party (not the same thing though) on Saturday, I was working on homework yesterday and homework today. So yeah, not a whole lot in the writing department, I'm afraid. Tomorrow is my busiest day of the week, but I hope I'll at least get SOME writing done. I usually manage well enough on Tuesdays. I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. I'm not giving up, though!
Weekly progress report
Once again, I didn't meet my goal of finishing chapter three. That's all right, though; it will all come in time. I really didn't get much done at all in the past week! That's no good! As I'm going away this weekend, I'm going to have to work especially hard on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm going to try my hardest to complete chapter three this week, but I won't beat myself up about it.
I've decided not to do NaNoWriMo after all this year. I'm working on AACG and Rosehips, so hopefully that will be enough. I also have other things on the go, such as singing lessons and other things, so I'd rather focus on that. Plus, I'm writing plenty without NaNoWriMo!

Day 25
I got into a good part today, so I got some writing done! Once this part is done, I will put it up here for all of you to enjoy, criticise or comment on! It's an interesting part with a bit of suspense.
I'm feeling better today. Actually, in some non-book-related news, I'm going to be performing solo at the music conservatory's Christmas concert! Singing! Kind of scary!

Day 23
I forced myself to write today. I really didn't feel like it, but I decided I had to write at least a bit, especially with regard to how unproductive I've been lately. It's been a long day, but I won't let that be an excuse. I got some writing done, so I'm happy and I don't feel quite like I'm slacking, thanks to that. I'm at a part right now that doesn't really focus on Rosehips, as she's doing other things in the background which we will know about soon!
I may post the entire bit about Wildflower as a sample, once I've finished writing it and once I've polished it a bit.

Day 22 + Weekly Progress Report
Past two days have been completely without work, so my aim to complete chapter three failed, sadly. I was really busy yesterday; a friend of mine got married and I was really too tired to write when I came back. Today I've been on the move and studying for tomorrow's Spanish exam, so I didn't manage to get much writing done. Tomorrow will probably yield more creativity, or I hope so. I should be able to get chapter three done by this weekend, I think, though this weekend will also be quite busy.
Weekly progress report
Since last week, I have completed chapter two and gone to chapter three. I also did a character sketch for a new character, named Wildflower, and I've gotten some work done on the encyclopedia as well.
Clicking the Google ads will also help me out with fees for the book!

Day 20
The picture on the left is a concept drawing from my notebook. That's Wildflower, a new character I introduced to the story today. She's named for the fact that she is such a free spirit; she loves to wander far from Lemon Forest and explore with nothing but the wind in her wings and a pack on her back. As I was writing about her, I found myself somewhat conflicted regarding her appearance, so I decided to Google "wildflower" and use the first picture I found as a reference. I found this picture, and it made me quite happy because it was so unique and pretty! I think it suits Wildflower's free personality quite well.
I got quite a lot of writing done today, but mostly early this morning as opposed to tonight! Usually I'm quite productive at night, but I guess there was something in this morning's sun that made me want to write. I believe I'm about halfway through the third chapter, now.
I introduced something else aside from Wildflower today, that being the train system in Lemon Forest. The train is run by Acorn, an elf, and it goes all over Lemon Forest. It goes up, between and down trees, to people's homes, and even all the way to Lemon's palace, though no one is ever lucky enough to see her. The train station is a hollowed out, mossy stump with a little brown flag coming out the top.
I'd tell you a bit about Lemon but this post is getting a bit too long! If I have nothing significant to tell about tomorrow, I'll let you know a bit about Lemon.

Day 19
I got some work on both the novella and the encyclopedia done today! Not a lot on the encyclopedia, just some work on the elves of the Lemon Forest.
The elves are ground-dwelling creatures, small like the fairies, and they live in patches of mushrooms. They live longer than the fairies because they directly take care of creatures and plants of the Lemon Forest. They like riding snails to get around, and they're close friends with fairies because they grow the shelf fungi houses that fairies live in. They like eating salad.
As far as novella work goes, I started an interesting part that should go by fairly quickly! I'm going on a hike in the woods tomorrow, so I'm hoping that will inspire me as well.
As usual, Nightwish has also inspired me. I was listening to the song the Islander and it made me think of lighthouses, so I'm going to have some kind of lighthouse in the area outside of Lemon Forest, probably on a cliff. I haven't decided if it will show up in this novella or another, but I will write it into the encyclopedia and see where it goes from there!

Ummm. Literally no progress today. I only have myself to apologise to, but I will make it up to myself tomorrow. I'm really happy to be home for the weekend to this inspiring autumn atmosphere as opposed to the stinky, noisy city I usually live in. I'll try to write a lot tomorrow!
Sorry to disappoint with the lack of update, but it really was a busy, long day.

Day 17
Quite a bit of writing done today! I finished the second chapter with a somewhat forboding note in order to keep the reader interested. This chapter was fun to write because I included a pair of comical characters named Trees and Chauncey. Trees is an emerald beetle with a large moustache, a monocle and a top hat, and Chauncey is his trusted steed: he is a big, ugly boar with a blue ribbon
with a bow around his neck. I drew sketches of them today, and I'd like to do some inked illustrations of them for the book.
I worked very little on the encyclopedia today, but I'm working on the entry about elves. They're fun little creatures!
This weekend I'll be going home, which is something I'm really excited about. It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and the fall colours are so beautiful and inspiring! I hope I'll be able to write quite a bit this weekend and possibly work on my other project. Check out my main blog if you're interested in that.

Day 16
Not a very productive day. This is directly proportionate to dance class and the new Nightwish album. Which is amazing, by the way.
Just a few lines, mostly. I'm trying to set up the universe by using context; as far as I'm concerned, that's the best way to do it, instead of writing long, boring paragraphs of sprawling description and history!
I also failed a midterm today. Sigh.

Day 15 + weekly progress report
Today's progress and other news
Back from my brief vacation! I had a great time, and I managed to get a lot of work on the personal encyclopedia done. I didn't work on the novella as I was away, but I wrote several entries on the fairies, elves and creatures of the Lemon Forest.
Today I got a bit of work done. I've slowed down a little but I'm heading into midterm season. In addition, I've got lots of other stuff going on this month, including two weddings, two or more Halloween parties and a weekend trip to Montreal. A . . . bit busy. Then, next month is NaNoWriMo. I'm insane but I'm going to try and work on NaNoWriMo daily . . . and work on Rosehips daily. While still going to university. Yeah. Goodbye, life!
Weekly progress report
Since last week, I managed to complete my Rosehips doll (she can be seen here). I also worked on eleven pages worth of encyclopedia information, which I may compile to a full project once I have completed this book and, possibly, other Rosehips books. I haven't written much on the novella itself, though. I only have about a chapter and a half. I'll continue working away at it, though!
