Follow me and Kyra.

So...you all probably know I've already got all my cast planned out. hehe. Since I've told you all about Cove, I'll introduce you to Kiera. :)
Kiera Lee-Reed |
Well, I'll give you two for fun. These were found with the help of Barbara Kloss who sent me an e-mail one day that said PIRATE MUSIC. lol.
For my pirates:
And for my politicians cause this sounds like them:
Yep. It's my blogger anniversary! It's been a whole year since I decided to do this for real! Things Called Time Machines was my first post. I went from having no followers at all to the wonderful 317 on my right and hopefully many more!
It was hard for me to figure out exactly what to do, and I wish, perhaps I could have been a little more creative, but I decided my blog needed an upgrade. So I asked one of my amazing friends whose art you see all over my blog. It looks something like this:
Amazing, huh?!
You can go HERE to view more of her art. Brittiny has been invaluable to me. She keeps me motivated. Lol. She's so exciting and energized. I met her as my Amazing suite-mate my Sophomore year in school. She came into our room and said, "Can I hang out with you guys? Everything you're talking about sounds so cool!"
And that was the beginning of our relationship! Since then, I've bugged her endlessly for picture of my characters. I thought, "Brittiny could make me an awesome banner for my site" and well, that's exactly what she did!
So, to reveal my Blog Anniversary picture....* drum roll*
Kiera, Barren, Cove and Sara! |
I love it! I'm going to be giving my blog a makeover with this as the header! I hope you guys think it's as cool as I do! haha.
Thank you so much Brittiny!

ReplyDeleteLOL. I love the way you said it! Thank you very much!
DeleteHappy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteOh, that girl is pretty!
And the drawings are awesome too!
Thank you! Lol.
DeleteI couldn't figure out how to spell Blogiversary...I was like should I do blog-o-versary? hahaha.
Happy Blogoversary! I love Natalie Portman, and New World Symphony is fab!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Me too! Thank you!
DeleteRead your interview earlier...good job on both!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That was so exciting!
DeleteOh wowza! those pics rock! And Yay! for blogoversary!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sketches! I thought of Natalie, too. If only she were a redhead. :)
ReplyDeleteShe can dye her hair! Lol. She saved her head before!
DeleteHappy Anniversary! That's great! Thanks for joining in on our bloghop. :) I love the drawing of all four characters. Your friend did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to find it! :D
DeleteI've got to check out everyone's awesome entries!
I love your picks and all the awesome sketches. And I really really really love the map :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat choices for your character and music! The drawings are lovely too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!!! Those sketches are amazing! Haven't heard either of the songs before, going to listen to them now.
ReplyDeleteThey're great! I was so happy Barbara introduced me to them!
DeleteHappy...bloggivversssarrrrryyyy! :D
ReplyDeleteAnyway the WIP movie sounds like a fun idea. I have a full soundtrack that I listen to when I'm writing, so I can't really pick out just one song. I'd like to think of my current WIP as more of an animated series than a movie, though.
One day! :D
Adelle! I miss you!!!!
DeleteThat's awesome! I wanted to do that, actually. And that's even cooler!
This might be a stretch, but does Brittiny animate? 'Cause that would be wicked amazing if she could even make a book trailer for you, haha.
Delete(And I could offer my services as...you know, a voice actor...heh...*snicker snort mumble*)
She has! I bet she could do something awesome! It'd have to be a Summer project because she's busy with school, but that's an awesome idea!
DeleteI'll have to suggest this to her. lol.
Happy Blogoversary! I love your pictures, music, artwork, and the map! Now I might have to participate in WIP the Movie! Fingers crossed you get Fever too!
ReplyDeleteDo it! LOL. I hope so!! I entered! lol. I'd love to have both, I hate finishing a book and having to wait for the sequel. LOL. If I don't, I'll just go search for it at the bookstore!
DeleteYour sketches are amazing! And I love Natalie as your choice :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! My friend Brittiny is an amazing artist!
