Merry Christmas and New Novel!

I know it's a bit too late, but Merry Christmas, guys! I hope you all enjoy your moment. And now we count down for New Year. Time goes so fast, right?
Anyway, I wanna announce that Bloody Romance is done, and I'd sent it on December 22. A day after "Apocalypse" hahaha. And although it's a one shot, the story doesn't just end like that. I know the readers will be disappointed. So I've made the concepts for the new serial, trilogy, exactly. The main character is different, but its story still has connection with Bloody Romance. And the main character is...Leonid! Woohoo! My favorite haha
So, I can't wait to finish writing it and send it to the publisher. I hope they publish Bloody Romance in 2013! :D
Once again, Merry Christmas!
Love,

Confession Time!

I've written some more, and to be honest...I'm nervous! The story has reached the part when Lance confessed to Adeline, but what is her answer? Please give me your opinion!

Happy December

Yay it's December! Wowoowowowo my favorite month of the year (beside August, of course). Things have gone so well, and I'm so happy! I can't wait for Christmas and New Year's Eve! Let this month be full of happiness :D

By the way, Bloody Romance is almost done. Just a few chapters to go, and boom it's done. The story has progressed really quickly. Adeline has met Darius, who loves her very much. Who is Darius? Just read the novel to find it out! And what about Lancelot and Leonid? Who do you prefer? I already set the ending, but I need to know your opinion.

I think that's all for today. I promise I'll post again.
Love,

End of November

Yep, today is the last day of November 30. Many things have happened in this month, whether it's good or bad. I learnt some very important lessons about improving myself, and I managed to obtain some really really rare and valuable books (through hard work, of course). I also got sick a lot this month, but that's okay. Life always goes up and down. But I still haven't gotten the confirmation from the publisher. Damn. I just contacted the publisher's twitter a moment ago, and I hope they answer it soon (the sooner the better). Meanwhile, I've continued Bloody Romance...a lot. It's now reached Chapter 25, and the story is still evolving. Talk about long, huh? This is the longest novel I've ever written, and the longest manga I've made is (I forget the title *damn*)that I made in elementary school (it has around 13 volumes). Ah...talk about memories. I miss my moments with my BFF, Ivy, and we met today! It was really fun :D Although now we're separated, when we talk we still connect to each other. That's the real best friend forever. I love her so much :3

So, yeah, December is coming, and I hope you can enjoy the last month in 2012!
Just remember that when the world gets dark, there will always be light, guiding you to the right path.

Love,

Confirmation Please!!!

It's been two weeks since I sent Bloody Romance to the publisher by email, and by now I still haven't gotten the confirmation! This makes me uneasy and nervous. I've continued writing Bloody Romance, but it still hasn't finished yet. The story is still so long. So, I've decided to make a prequel of Class of Clans series, where Angelica Serah, together with Edward Kelly and Michael Taylor become the main protagonists (remember them?). And about Child of Gray, the first series in Dauntless Record Saga, I still have to edit the plot.
Oh yeah, today is November 16, right? That means Breaking Dawn 2 is in cinemas! Yay! I planned to watch it, but my clique didn't want to. And the tickets are already sold. So here I am, at home, browsing the internet in my 2nd big brother's room (who went to Jakarta at the start of November) with my 1st big brother's unused MacBook Pro. Why unused? Because he said he didn't use it anymore, so this thing is now mine. Heheheh.
So, I think it's all for now. See you around, guys!
Btw, typing with this laptop is sooo comfortable! XP

Ther Melian: Chronicle by Shienny MS

Here is a book review again! This time it's a novel by an Indonesian author, Shienny MS! She is the author of Ther Melian Tetralogy, and now I'm gonna tell you about Ther Melian: Chronicle, which is the second book in the tetralogy.

Title: Ther Melian: Chronicle

Author: Shienny M.S.

Year: 2011

Publisher: PT Elex Media Komputindo

Language: Indonesian

Rating: 8 out of 10

The story continues from the first book, Revelation. This time, Valadin and Vrey's relationship becomes wrecked, because they walk on different paths of life. Valadin and his party want to find the seven relics, while Vrey's goal is making the Nymph's Cape. Meanwhile, Vrey realised something about her bestfriend, Aelwen, and she finds it hard to forget her sin.

I read this book last year, and forgot to write a review about it. Heheheh I recommend this book, too. This is perhaps the first fantasy series created by an Indonesian author. So guys, please buy the book, read it, and love it!

By the way, I really love this book's cover. Valadin looks so cool! ^^

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Now I'm gonna tell you my review about a novel called Divergent. It's one of the best sellers novel according to New York Times, and I just saw its Indonesian version in my local bookstore yesterday. I read the English and International version, and I've got lots of things to talk about it, in here. But first, here's the book's data:

Title: Divergent
Author: Veronica Roth
Published: 2012
Pages: 487 (excluded bonus pages and sneak peek of Insurgent, book 2 of Divergent Trilogy)
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Price: US$ 9.99
Rating: 9 out of 10

In the future world, society is divided into 5 groups called faction. Those factions are: Abnegation--people who put others first than themself, Amity--people who love peace and friendship, Condor--they who put honesty more than anything, Dauntless--the brave ones, and Erudite--intelligent ones. When children turn 16, they must choose which faction they want to belong in. That decision decides the rest of their lives. If they quit the faction they choose, they will be factionless, and exiled from the society.
There was Tris, and 16 year-old girl who is not ordinary. She is put into a simulation test which decides which faction suites her the best, but the result was strange. She was into 3 factions rather than 2. And then, she chooses Dauntless. She goes away from her old faction, Abnegation, and starts a new life there.

I think that's the sneak peek of the story because I don't want to spoil it too much hehe. I think this book is awesome, and can keep us stay awake all night. Once I started reading it, seriously  I couldn't close it! This book is as awesome as Hunger Games, but written in its own magnificent way. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK, FOLKS! Trust me, you won't regret it!

Happy November

Happy November everyone! I hope this month will be better than the last :D we all have expectations and goals to do, right? So start doing it, instead of just dreaming about what you want!

First, I want to tell you about my Halloween experience, which was awesome. I dressed as a Japanese ghost yesterday, and I won the third price from the cosplay contest! Thanks to all my friends who helped and turned me into someone super scary. Anyway, I met Carter too. He was an awesome young man, and I can't wait to see him again :)

About Bloody Romance, actually I just sent it to redaksi.emk@gramediapublishers.com a few minutes ago. I hope I can get the reply in maximum 2 weeks. My email included: cover design, writer's data, summary, and a few first chapters of Bloody Romance. I really want Bloody Romance to be accepted by Elex and get published soon! pleasepleasepleaseplease

I have so many things I want, wheter it's the things I wanna buy or my self-improvement. I hope I can get better this month!

That's all for now, folks. I see you again on my next post!

A Day Before Halloween

I must admit that I'm really excited for tomorrow! Tomorrow is October 31st, which means it's Halloween! Actually we don't really celebrate that kind of event in Indonesia, but my language school has an event~ I can't wait for it! I hope Russell and Carter will be there!

Actually, there's a famous superstition about Halloween. It is said that when an unmarried girl looks into a mirror at midnight on Halloween, the face of her future husband will appear. Otherwise, if the girl is destined to die before she gets married, a skull will appear. Talk about creepy and exciting, huh?

Oh yeah, about the project I'm working on (Bloody Romance), it's still not done, but I've decided to send it by email on Friday to Elex Media. The publisher says it's okay if I only send some first chapters from the novel, and I'm really excited for that. Also, I'd sent Tamer on October 3rd, but I still haven't got the confirmation letter until now. And now I'm not really sure whether to be a writer of GPU or Elex Media.

Last thing, I want to describe on the new series. It's called Dauntless Record. Bloody Romance is one of the novels from that series, and there will be lots of different fantasy stories on Dauntless Record. I hope Bloody Romance can get published as soon as possible.

OK, I think that's all for now. From my timeline I can see that I only write once a month, huh? Well... not so often as last year. I hope I can publish a post about Halloween tomorrow!
Have a nice day!

Tamer is Ready to be Sent!

Finally...after so many months...Tamer is done! And I meant the hardcopy, not soft. So Ivy helped me during this process, and we're gonna send it on Wednesday, if we can manage to meet each other. Whew, I feel like a burden of my life is lifted! So now I can focus on finishing Bloody Romance and I'm With You :D

By the way, I still have to do my essay for Trinity College Writing Competition. The due date is September 14, and I'm still thinking about the main topic. My favorite leader or famous person? Well...I don't know.

I guess that's all for now. Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Love,

Me

Today's The Deadline...and I'm Still Working On Ch 8

Long time no see, I guess? Well, I have been so busy lately. So sorry about that.

Anyway, today is the deadline for my novel, and I haven't finished it!!!!!

TT_TT

I'm working on it now, and I'm gonna write again when it's done.

Action Novel

Okay, so this is new to me, and I'm doing it. Action novel...I've never made something like this before. I got inspiration from my dream, which is very cool. All my novels before were about mythology and romance, but this one is hardcore. Action...which means soldiers...military...hmm... I think you can guess how the story is from that clue hehehe. Anyway, I  want this novel to be as good as I want, so it won't disappoint you readers. I hope I can finish it soon.

Love,

Anna

I Need to be More Careful...

Damn. There's someone who copies me! I mean , not just my appearance, but my skills as well! Urgh. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but lately it became more and more intense. That person still tries to copy me, although I never talk about my current abilities to them!

I told this problem to Selena, and she said that person must be jealous of me. I need to be more  careful and try not to draw much attention.

It starts to be creepy you know...maybe that person stalks me...

Cavaliere Sicilee is Alive Once Again!

Lately, I've been thinking about writing a fantasy novel, but I hadn't got the idea. I've managed to continue Traitor, but I need a back-up plan, just in case Tamer doesn't fulfill the qualification. So I have a plan for an adventure and fantasy novel, but I don't know what to write. Until yesterday, I saw Brave trailer, and it gave me ideas! About a kingdom and blah blah blah. I also got inspiration for fencing and knights from the game Shake Spears! I love that game. The graphic, character design and music are awesome! So I looked into my old files, and found Cavaliere Sicilee - Looking Through. It's the only Sicilee series that survived during that virus attack. And I read it again and instantly want to make a new novel based on that. The main character is Sicilee but now she isn't from Earth, and no mythological creatures. I'm creating my own mythology hahahaha. I'm still collecting ideas, and I hope I can start writing it soon!
Thanks for reading
xoxo

I Highly Recommend This!

Hello guys! It's been a while, right? I wanna tell you that Tamer is being printed. I hope it can finish soon! All thanks to Selena, my writing partner and all-time BFF. Without her, this couldn't be done because I ran out of ink, and my brother hasn't bought the new one.

Oh yeah, if you wanna read an online novel, I highly recommend this:

Rose Poupee by Renakine

Tamer is DONE!

Hello everyone! It's the end of April and I've just finished Tamer! Yay! Finally I can take a break and think of its continuation. The second book will be Traitor (not final title) I hope I can start making it soon!
By the way, I'm now enjoying my 2 months vacation. Ah...what a pleasure. I cancelled the plan to go to Australia, but instead I'm going to China and Hongkong at the end of May. There's still a chance that I'm going to South Korea in the middle of May. I wanna enjoy spring.
Well, I guess I'm going to have some fun before sending Tamer to the publisher!
Have a nice day!
Oh yeah, I'm learning French, so I guess goodbye is: au revoir!

Life Sucks...And I'm the Master of Suckiness

OK, so my school life doesn't go well these days. My love life is ruined, and it's time to find a new one. While in school, there are some Bs who think by ignoring me they win, but actually not. You haven't known my real power, girls.

So yeah, Wretch was rejected, and that sucks. But I never give up. I keep writing stories and Selena, my writing pal, told my that she loves Tamer (the novel I'm working on) and she said it's better than Wretch. Well, I think so too. My writing style has improved.

And what sucks more, I can't get enough sleep these days. Ugh. I love sleeping and it's my own drug, and the alarm clock is the police. My dream always stops on it's greatest part (that really sucks), and when I wake up I always look like a panda.

So, I am the Master of Suckiness. No one beats that (I think). But, there are good things too. Here's the list:

1. it's almost the end of the school year, so I don't have to meet those Bs again

2. I can move on to find Mr. Right!

3. My novel goes great, thanks to Selena

4. I'm going to Australia this June. Anyone lives there?

5. There are some true friends who support me

6. I can still breath and live

It's February already...

Hello! Sorry for being absent for...how long? Well, it's already 2012...I forgot that I have a blog. So, I lost all my datas a week ago because some damn virus, including my novels!!! I lost my Sicilee, Angelica Book 2, and many more TT_TT. So I just made a new project! This time, the main character is Ed! Kyahaha! I can't wait to finish it!
