Writing: Building a Character

Okay so if you know me, you know that I like to write. Welll I just thought that i'd make a little post today trying to help people I guess to build a character in the story that they're writing. Okay so you probably already know that a good main character is crucial to a good story. People probably won't continue to read the book if the character is dull, or even if there's no character at all. You want to make sure this character has good traits and a good way to let people see how it is through the character's eyes. Ask yourself questions about it: what does he/she like to eat? Drink? What are their hobbies? What do they do in their spare time? What do they think like? What's their physical appearence? What is their attitude like? How OLD are they? After you've built your character, YAY!! Another thing you wanna do is think about the dialog you'll use when this character communicates with other people. I know my advice isn't the best in the world, but thanks for reading anyway!

Pink Dolphin in Louisiana!

Well our state has a beautiful pink dolphin swimming in one of its' lakes! A pink dolphin was discovered in Lake Calcasieu just north of the Golf of Mexico. He was found by boat captain, Erik Rue. The dolphin is actually an albino dolphin....but it's so pretty! And so cool! =D So if you haven't heard about this yet, research it. Here's a picture:

If I Were a Dog lyrics

LYRICS TO THE BEYONCE SPOOF WE'LL BE DOING:

If I were a dog

even just for a day

I'd wake up in a crate in the morning,

thinkin, 'What the heck just happend to me?'

I'd wake up my owner

by licking their face

I could chew on what I wanted,

and use the bathroom all over the place

and never get fussed..

*If I were a dog

I don't think I could understand

what it's like to have your butt sniffed

and eat disgusting food from a can

I wouldn't listen to anyone

and i'd probably get hurt

when I lose the toy I wanted

'cause I was being taunted

and my owner was mad with me*

If I were a dog

I would chase after cats

Bark at absolutely nothing

and then i'd go and pee on a mat

Drink out of the toilet

and destroy everything

Then i'd put on my cute face

So they wouldn't even consider blaming me

'cause they think i'm so cute

*CHORUS*

It's a little too late to sleep on the couch

Yes, I made a mistake

Now i'm off to my dog house

If you thought I would sleep with youu..

You thought wrong!

But you're just a dog

you don't understand..

yeah, you don't understand! HEY!

How to feels for me to pet you,

and for me when you lick my hand

You don't listen to me!

You never follow the rules!

Sit, stay, shake hands, no..

You just wanna sit there and drool.

'Cause you're just a dog....

=)!

'Bertha' Ideas

Okay, first of all this post is generally directed towards a certain someone and after she reads it, I'm probably going to delete it. Here's my idea for the whole Bertha series:
~~We need to re-make the first episode, obviously...(since I deleted it) :D -my bad-. I was thinking the first episode can be of Bertha talking and describing her entire life....For this episode we need a plasic life-sized baby doll (you know what i'm talking about?) so if you have one, COUGH IT UP! =D and if not and you know someone who has one, ask to borrow it. Or i'll just find one someway somehow. BUUUTT...we need it cuz it has to show Bertha as a baby (we have to show her getting thrown at the front door of her new parents' house) I'd have to talk to you more about my other ideas, ut it seems like fun and we need funnier videos on youtube since our best videos are too long =(.

April Fool's Pranks!

Okay so--April Fool's day is coming up, right? Let's say you want to actually pull off a decent prank this year and you can't come up with anything. Stuck? Well, you could google it (like I did) but today i'm going to give you a few of my ideas for a good prank on April Fools.

1.) Salt on the Toothbrush- Pretty funny--take someone's toothbrush in your family and sprinkle a little salt on it before they brush their teeth.

2.) Upside Down- Find a room in your house and turn everything (or mostly everything) upside down.

3.) Switchin' Some Cereal- Remove the bags of cereal out of every cereal box in your house and switch them around. So when they think they're about to eat Special K--they're really gonna get Captain Crunch! (or any cereal of your choice. lol)

4.) Toilet Paper Prank- Get a marker and unroll the toilet paper in one bathroom. Write some goofy message on it that lasts a longgg time. :)

5.) Balloon Gag- This may take a while, but blow up tons of balloons and stuff them in the victim's car

6.) Alarm Clock- change the time of your victim's clock to two hours earlier or two hours later while they're sleeping, so when they wake up they're in for a surprise.

7.) Prank That Requires No Work- Just tell the victim you're plotting an april fool's day joke on them--then do nothing at all. It'll drive them crazy all day trying to figure out what you're going to do

8.) Shoes- Tie the shoelaces of all of your victim's shoes together and watch as they discover it.

9.) Slippery Door- Squirt some liquid soap onto the door knob of the victim's door. Then watch as they try to open it.

10.) Room T'Ped- This one's easy--just T'P the victim's room! But know that you'll probably be the one who has the clean up the mess ;)

~Well there ya have it! Just a few clever April Fools Day pranks for you incase you're ready to pull one on somebody. HAVE FUN!!!

My New Favorite Female Singer!!

Lol, Okay you guys. I have officially fallen in love with Beyonce's music. HANDS DOWN....I love her songs. My current favorite one right now is: HALO! OMG, if you haven't even heard this song yet, you need it. It's so pretty and it's stuck in my head all the time. And of course, Single Ladies...i'm attempting to learn the dance and failing at it. My friend knows the entire thing. And then I also like Diva and If I Were a Boy. Even some of her old songs like Irreplaceable...BUTTTT....mostly I just wanted to make this post to tell you how great Halo is. My FaVoRiTe SoNg RiGhT nOw!!!

Chris Brown and Rihanna?!

Well, hi again everybody! Happy Thursday! I just thought that i'd make a little post here today discussing the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation. What do ya'll think of it?! Hopefully we all know what happend; if you don't--look it up. Personally, I've always hated Chris Brown...just an opinion of mine. I liked a few of his songs but eh...now I LOVE Rihanna's music...but i'm not so sure of her anymore after taking Chris Brown back. I mean, SERIOUSLY?! He's just gonna beat her up again!! Leave comments and tell me what you think of this!
