Highlight of Chapter 2!

When I first listened to it, I had recently gotten my braces and headgear. All the kids were teasing me in school and I was hiding in the bathroom. I wanted to cry and just disappear but I couldn't. All I could do was hide alone and wish for the metal on my face and teeth to be gone. I felt like quitting and calling home when I faintly heard the lyrics.
The lyrics lightened my heart a bit and I continued to listen. As the song went on, I stepped out of the stall and over to the sinks. The music was louder now and my heart seemed to get even lighter. Even though I didn't like my reflection, I started to smile. For the first time after getting my braces, I genuinely smiled at my reflection.
Ah yes, my highlight from chapter two, of Found! This part is probably one of my favorites because this is when Lizzie really started to fall in love with music. Music had saved her and I feel like it's shown here for the first time. It showed how she herself was going through this tough change in her life, and the song she heard made her feel better. I'd like to think that other people were saved by music at some point in their life, too.
Now what about you? What part in chapter two was your favorite? Now, I have another favorite part that I love for different reasons. But if I said that one, it'd be a huge spoiler! So this one was the obvious choice. Stay tuned for more chapter highlights as we approach the 1 Year Anniversary of Found going on sale!
Don't forget to share, comment, and like this if you can! Your continued support means the world to me and I love you all very much. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart!

Lizzie's 30 Day Character Development: Days 1 & 2

As I promised, here are the first two days for Lizzie's 30 Day Character Development! Or rather Lizzie's 30DCD for short. I'll be using that in the title from now on as well. I've already given the link to the original but here it is again if you'd like to see the days ahead of time. All of the questions answered below will be located on the page specifically about Lizzie. Just go to "Characters of Found" which is located right under "Home," then click on Lizzie's name and it'll send you right to it! Or just click here if you'd rather~ I hope you all enjoy reading the first two days and I'll be updating her page as well if you'd like to check that out. 

Day 1:
Basics and cosmetic: 
Age?
18
Date of Birth?
June 21, 1996
Hair Color?
Dark red
Skin color/nationality?
Very fair/ 75% French, 25% Portuguese
Accent?
Just a bit of a French accent but her English is spoken very well
Height?
5’ 3”

110 lbs

Do they have any nicknames? Where did they come from?
Liz (from TBA characters), Little Canary (from Mr. Tidmen)

Day 2:
How do they usually dress? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear jewelry?
Lizzie loves to wear sweaters or even flannel jackets with the sleeves rolled up. Although she doesn't mind wearing skirts or dresses, she would prefer skinny jeans or shorts. While she does like v necks, she also really loves flowy blouses and crop tops.
For sleepwear, she likes using oversized sweaters or t-shirts that belonged to her father.
Aside from wearing studded earrings, she also likes to wear a few bracelets on her left wrist and also a silver locket with a picture of her parents in it that she got from Juni.
Is there anything about their appearance they wish they could change?
The only time Lizzie ever wanted to change something was when she had her wires and her braces. But if she did have to choose a few things now it would probably to have her collarbones and hip bones show less. Although she is a healthy weight for her size, she does wish to be a little more curvy since she feels like she's a bit lanky.
How would they look as the opposite sex?
I picture male Lizzie as kinda dorky looking actually. Just a bit taller than her around 5'8" and still lanky but with a good amount of muscle mass. He would likely look very hipster esque but wear fake nerd glasses.
What do they smell like? Why (do they wear the scent or does it occur naturally)?
Lizzie usually smells like vanilla or roses. Because roses grow in their yard, Juni would bring in freshly cut roses and just put them all over the house. So being around so many sweet smelling roses, she usually would end up smelling like them. Vanilla is because she just really likes the sweet but subtle smell of it!
Do they have an accurate mental picture of their appearance (how they see themselves versus how the world sees them)?
Lizzie likes to see herself as a dedicated person who likes to help others especially if they're her friends. Most people tend to see Lizzie as popular in the sequel but she herself doesn't feel that she is or the desire to be. I won't say more because more will be revealed in the sequel!

Apology! & Book Reading?

Hi there everyone! How are you all? I'm so so so sorry for not posting for over a month here. I had become very busy and had not find any time to post. Other than that I really had no idea what to post. I know I said I'd post the Character Development for Lizzie but really bad writers block hit me and I wasn't able to get past doing the first day.

You'll be happy to know that I actually have started working on it again and I'm a few days in! So I'll be posting the first day in a couple of days or so. So sorry again for lagging on that because I was really excited to post them. Any who, back to the second part of the title!

I have recently gone to the Hanapepe Library and told them that I had written I book. They will be given a copy (signed, even~) to be available to borrow at the library. Also, I'll have to schedule a book reading with them! I'll be able to use the annex and I'm really excited about having my first book reading. But that's where I need a bit of your help.

If and when I do have my reading, I was wondering what specifically people would want me to do. I'd of course sign books and answer a few questions with a short Q & A session. Other than that, I was thinking of reading parts of the book but I would need to know what I should read. My problem is that I wouldn't want to read a part of the book that reveals spoilers to people that haven't read it or reached that part yet.

So, dear reader, I would greatly appreciate and love that you comment below what you'd like to hear me read. Here's an example of how to comment: Please read pages 9 - 10 starting from "With a shaking fist," and ending with "I decided it was both."

Just keep in mind that I'll choose the ones I think would be okay to read and also ones that aren't very long. But really your input would be so great to have since the book reading itself is really for fans of the book! I'm excited to do this not only for myself but for all of you out there, so I hope once I decide the date that you can make it out!

Until next time lovely readers~

Character Development!

So as mentioned in the little description at the top, there should be some character development going on on this blog! For a while I've known about the Character Development Meme on Tumblr and it's a really great way to get into all the details you'd like about one of your characters. It's one of the greatest things ever, so if you have a character you'd like to develop more, check that out HERE.

I will be following this meme but instead of posting every day, it'll be every week or so. Each character I do this meme for will have their own page where I will update their information according to said meme. The first character I will be doing this for will be Miss Lizzie Allore the main character of Found! Whenever there is an update on her page, I will post a little announcement and also links to the page.

So I hope you all will enjoy learning a little more about the lovely people in Arrows! I apologize if updates are slow, but they will come. Some information may also be held off if they contain spoilers I'd rather not reveal yet. Aside from that, I'll focus on giving you as much as I can! I'm very excited to be starting this and I hope you get a chance to follow along.

The Town of Arrows

Hello there lovely readers!

Today I will start with talking about the little town where it all happens! Arrows was a town that I always had since I was younger. It was always small and there was never an exact location in America to put it. I've always left that up to the reader! When I was younger, there were things like a diner, a large barn and less high-end housing. I believe that the town may have evolved through the years like many towns do! The large barn is no more, and at the top of the town, there are many amazing houses. The diner may still be there, though!

As mentioned in Found, Lizzie says the town has a quaint, vintage feel to it. This is all very true! The sidewalks are nicely paved and lined with small trees and some flower beds. Buildings are mostly made of old stone, or wood that have been there for years. Some of the buildings are newer, so there are some modern ones, but the old style architecture still shines through. Near the end of the road in town, there is a food court area. Around this area are various restaurants which surround the courtyard where people go to eat. The shops that line the street are other things like The Riff, Light Putt, and Pretenders (the costume store where Lizzie, Tia, and Jess go). At the other end of town, there are places like the skate park which is in the actual park, the ice rink, the pool, the care home, and the school areas.

Aside from the school Lizzie, Duncan, and Marina attend, there are two other public schools. But I'll get into that later. Where Lizzie lives is close to the school but in the cottage-like houses. These homes have more of a rustic and natural feel to them. Where Duncan lives is also close to the school but in the opposite direction of Lizzie's home. Duncan lives in the nice homes that come before the huge mansions like where Tia lives. Marina lives in the middle/lower class housing in one of the older houses. Those houses are just as good as the ones Lizzie lives in; just more affordable for Marina's family.

That's all I'll say about Arrows for now! There's much more to say, but I think saving it is best. I hope you have a lovely day and thank you for reading. If you'd like to help support me and the whole Arrows Gang, go like our Facebook Page! Your support means the world.
