Konnichiwa!

If only the missing piece was this easy to find...

Hey guys! So unfournately half the blog is currently suffering from Writer's Block in the worst season for most writers. :P This also means that things will be going alittle slow on the blog. However, you still have reasons to check us out. To start, there will be a new scheduling system that we will be testing to mix things up. This should make things easier to get posts up everyday.

Secondly, The site has and will continue to get a makeover. You guys should send in your opinions on the sites new look, as well as suggests ideas for new topics for the return of discussions by yours truly.

Lastly, my books Pieces and Lacrime are having a few major plot changes. For example, Chloe no longer represents Old Age but Hopelessness, and Tim's name is no longer Tim but will be changed to Niccolò Capone, or as he goes by in the book Nic. There will also be many other major changes, such as extentions to existing chapters, and maybe even a name change to the whole book. As for Lacrime, Henry and Abbel will be getting name changes, as well some plot changes. Well that's all as of today, so check back soon for the upcoming week's post!

Surprise! So normally Megan would handle Wednesdays, but I had some issues so I had to do it a few days early. I will be writing on Fridays starting next week though. However I have some interesting news for you guys today!

First off, Life in Fiction has moved to YOUTUBE! Oh snap! That's right, the writers of youtube will be posting vlogs now along with our posts on the site. XD the channel is still under the works, but as soon as we have it going we will let you know! Also, I am setting up an interview with Riotimage to talk about the blog and upcoming events, and you might get some insiders information on my book. ;)




The color idea is generic, but there is more then one way to emotionalize a color.


Lastly, to give an update on my books, I have finished the plot for Lacrime, which is the last thing I will be doing for the Embel series in 2010. Secondly, Pieces will be taking longer due to plot issues. However, my collections book will be going along as planned. It's name is still a work in progress, but the book is separated into sections based on colors. Each color will represent a different emotion. Generic I know. However the emotions are taken in a path that many wouldn't expect. ;) For example, Green will represent the emotion of "greed". Blue the emotion of "loneliness". Emotions like sadness and anger won't be found as core sections. The name currently is "Defining Emotion". Stay tune for the rest of to read some awesome writing from the rest of the staff!

So first of all guys I would like to say based off a vote of 131 to 128, Olly has beaten The Twins for first seed in the Second Round! Congrats to Chris for his close finish. It literally came down to the wire, as I nearly had to flip a coin the votes were matching up so evenly. However, despite how obtuse the facebook voters acted, we still managed to obtain a victor! So, tomorrow I will telling our victors about Stage 3: Connecting The Parts.

In other news, I have been thinking recently that we have been sticking to putting life into fiction, hence the name of the site. But life extends much farer then that, as there is many non-ficitional elements to our life. Taking that into account, I will be starting a sort of open discussion about real life topics, where someone will write a passage upon a given topic and you can then have an open discussion about. Anyone can write the opening passage, as this is to help with our non-fiction writing skills. The first topic will be up very soon so come and give us your thoughts.

Okay guys so just to give you a heads up on what is going on, Chris is on hiatus until Sunday in because he has band camp, and Terra will be updating as soon as she has some time to get on the site, working around work and college of course.

As for me, in the next few days I will be holding a contest, discussion, and release the story that started Lacrime. The discussion topic will be released later tonight(hint, hint), so check in on that. As for how Pieces is going, I'm on Part 3, the final section of the book, so it's nearly finished. I plan to have it out by December 10th, so you can get it as a christmas gift. ;) Well that's all for now I'll see you later tonight. Peace!!
