Superbowl Sunday Means...
...That I have no time to write, but enough time in the world to worry about next Saturday since my last meeting before the comp is tomorrow...You have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, do you? Well, I'm talking about POP or Power Of the Pen. I have my first competition ever Saturday, and our last meeting before that one is tomorrow. I don't think you understand how scary it is for someone who has NEVER even entered a writing comp before to be thrown into a whirlwind of ridiculousness. And I have no idea what to write, nor do I have time to write. Sigh...SO, vote on my poll, it ends Tuesday.
And I'm going to be deaf by the end of this game. (My mom's a passionate steelers fan...If your watching the game, you see my problem.)

My Speech About Conjunctions
So, this is the speech I gave one of my friends about Conjunctions. It's not very long or detailed, but it's something:
Conjunctions do exactly what they are names. They conjoin. It may be two subjects, two independent clauses, two predicates, an independent clause and a dependent clause. The dictionary definition is as follows: "any member of a small class of words distinguished in many languages by their function as connectors between words, phrases, clauses, or sentences, as and, because, but, however."
Obviously, there are groups that each one goes into. The FANBOYS are the cordinating conjunctions, there are subordinating conjunctions (because, while, since, although, unless, as, if, the ones that don't fit into the other two catergories but they do still conjoin), and then there are correlative conjunctions (they come in pair and ALWAYS do: neither...nor, either...or, whether...or, both...and, not only...but also)
So, yeah, there you go...I have to thank my HLA teacher for teaching me this. Or else I wouldn't be able to do this now.

So, today I read a blog...
That I have been following, and she said that querying young was a bad idea...I don't agree with this. I mean, it probably isn't the best idea, but I know I'm going to do it anyways. Mostly because I have thousands (not literally, their would be no point if I had thousands...) of beta readers in the palm of my hand able and completely willing to suggest things and make it real.
Am I saying you should query young? No. But, if you think that you're up to par of the famous writers, then go for it. I mean, you aren't required to say an age in the query, so they won't know until they sign you (if they sign you).
In all honesty, waiting maybe better then going right out and doing it young. But most of us are going to do it when we aren't ready anyways. Because we need the experience and the rejection. It sorta like sex, huh?
Well, anyways, I just wanted to say what I thought. I didn't agree with this thought at all, for the record. I just wanted to point it out.

I Don't Have Much News Today
Nothing much, except for the fact that I have figured out how to query. Here:
"The Basics
A query letter is a single page cover letter, introducing you and your book. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not a resume. It’s not rambling saga of your life as an aspiring writer. It’s not a friendly, “Hey, what’s up, buddy. I’m the next John Grisham. Got the next best selling thriller for ya,” kind of letter. And for the love of god, it is NOT more than one-page. Trust us on this.
A query letter has three concise paragraphs: the hook, the mini-synopsis, and your writer’s biography. Don’t stray from this format. You won’t catch an agent’s attention by inventing a creative new query format. You’ll just alienate your chances of being taken seriously as a professional writer. A query letter is meant to elicit an invitation to send sample chapters or even the whole manuscript to the agent. It’s not meant to show off how cute and snazzy you can be by breaking formatting rules and going against the grain. Keep it simple. Stick to three paragraphs. The goal is to get the agent to read your book, not to blow you off because you screwed up the introduction.
Paragraph One—The Hook: A hook is a concise, one-sentence tagline for your book. It’s meant to hook your reader’s interest, and wind them in. The best way to understand how to write a hook is to read the loglines of the titles sold by agents in our free searchable AQ database.
Here are a few examples of hooks for well-known novels:
House of Sand and Fog
When Massoud Amir Behrani, a former colonel in the Iranian military, sinks his remaining funds into a house he buys at auction, he unwittingly puts himself and his family on a trajectory to disaster; the house once belonged to Kathy Nicolo, a self-destructive alcoholic, who engages in legal, then personal confrontation to get it back.
Bridges of Madison County
When Robert Kincaid drives through the heat and dust of an Iowa summer and turns into Francesca Johnson's farm lane looking for directions, the world-class photographer and the Iowa farm wife are joined in an experience that will haunt them forever.
The Corrections
When family patriarch, Alfred Lambert, enters his final decline, his wife and three adult children must face the failures, secrets, and long-buried hurts that haunt them as a family if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs.
The "When" Formula: As you can see, we’re a fan of the when formula: “When such and such event happens, your main character—a descriptive adjective, age, professional occupation—must confront further conflict and triumph in his or her own special way. Sure, it’s a formula, but it’s a formula that works.
However, be warned...everyone and their grandmother who reads this site will try using our "when" formula, so we recommend simply using it as a starting point. Write your basic hook, then try spicing things up as you get more and more into the groove of "hooking." And don't worry, it's legal in every state, not just Nevada.
Check out these very simple, yet very non-"formulatic" fiction hooks:
The Kite Runner
An epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the atrocities of the present.
The Da Vinci Code
A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ.
Everything Is Illuminated
With only a yellowing photograph in hand, Jonathan Safran Foer—both author and meta fictional protagonist—sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis.
Here are some non-"formulatic" hooks for a few nonfiction books:
Into Thin Air
On assignment for Outside Magazine to report on the growing commercialization of the mountain, Krakauer, an accomplished climber, went to the Himalayas as a client of Rob Hall, the most respected high-altitude guide in the world, and barely made it back alive from the deadliest season in the history of Everest.
The Perfect Storm
The true story of the meteorological conditions that created the "Storm of the Century" and the impact the Perfect Storm had on many of the people caught in its path; chiefly, among these are the six crew members of the swordfish boat the Andrea Gail, all of whom were lost 500 miles from home beneath rolling seas.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
The memoir of Dave Eggers, who at the age of 22, became both an orphan and a "single mother" when his parents died within five months of one another of unrelated cancers, leaving Eggers the appointed unofficial guardian of his 8-year-old brother, Christopher.
Other Great Ways to Start Your Hook:
Give era and location: Three Different Examples:
Set up your main character: Three Different Examples:
Variations on the "when" formula: Three Different Examples:
There are literally scores and scores of hooks listed in our database, specifically in the past & present clients section of our agents’ profiles. We encourage you to read as many as possible, and learn what captures your attention in a single sentence. Then try to emulate a similar hook for your query letter.
Paragraph Two—Mini-synopsis: This is where you get to distill your entire 300 page novel into one paragraph. Lucky you. We’d like to offer advice on how to do this, but really, it just takes practice, hard work and lots of patience. Then, like we said before, get your friends to read it and if their heads hurt afterwards, go back to the drawing board. We don’t envy you. We really don’t. Summing up your entire book in an intriguing single paragraph is worse than a root canal.
So think of it this way. You had trouble writing the gist of your book in one sentence, right? Now, you get a whole paragraph. About 150 extra words. Here’s your chance to expand on your hook. Give a little bit more information about your main characters, their problems and conflicts, and the way in which adversity changes their lives. Read the back flaps of your favorite novels and try to copy how the conflict of the book is described in a single, juicy paragraph. You can do this. You really can. You just have to sit down, brainstorm, then vomit it all out onto the page. Afterwards, cut, paste, trim, revise, and reshape.
Paragraph Three—Writer’s bio: This should be the easiest part of your query. After all, it’s about you, the writer. Okay, so it’s a bit daunting, especially if you’ve never been published, never won any awards, hold no degrees from MFA writing schools, and possess no credentials to write your book. No problem. The less you have to say, the more space you have for your mini-synopsis. Always a plus.
If you do choose to construct a writer’s bio (and you should), keep it short and related to writing. Agents don’t care what your day job is unless it directly relates to your book. Got a main character who’s a firefighter, and that’s your day job? Be sure to say that. Otherwise, scrap it. Education is helpful because it sounds good, but it’s only really important if you’re offering a nonfiction book about A.D.D. children and you hold a PhD in pediatric behavioral science. If you’ve published a few stories in your local newspaper, or a short story in a few literary magazines, or won any writing awards or contests, now’s the time to list the details. Don’t go hog wild, but don’t be too modest either.
Your Closing: Congratulations! You’ve finished your query letter. As a formal closing, be sure to do two things. First, thank the agent for her time and consideration. Second, if it’s nonfiction, tell them that you’ve included an outline, table of contents, and sample chapters for their review. If it’s fiction, alert the agent that the full manuscript is available upon request. And in case you still don’t believe us, we want to reiterate: don’t query agents until you’ve finished your full fiction manuscript. Agents will want to read the whole novel before they offer representation to you and your book."

- Set in modern-day Jerusalem...
- During the summer of 1889 in a rural Texas town...
- Taking place in turn-of-the-century New York City...
- The tale of Una Spencer, wife of Melville's legendary fictional whale harpooner Captain Ahab...
- A chatty cozy mystery starring 50-something college professor Bell Barrett...
- Narrated by Cot Daley, an Irish peasant girl kidnapped from Galway and sent to Barbados...

It helped me. I can not wait until I finish writing a book.

Comma Rules
I felt so proud of this explanation I write out for someone so much that I have to post it:
Before a start, in case you don’t know, an independent clause is a group of words with a subject, a predicate, and it’s a complete thought. And the FANBOYS are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
So, you use a comma if there is two independent clauses connected by a FANBOYS or a coordinating conjunction. You put the comma before the FANBOYS.
If there are two dependent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction (it’s exactly the same thing as a FANBOYS) then you DO NOT use a comma.
If you have more then three fragments or items in a series, then the comma is necessary in between them. And there is a comma needed at the end of the series. Like so:
“We ate chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans.”
The comma before the “and” is necessary.
Next rule is that you do not use a comma when there are only two fragments in a sentence, like so:
“James and Kathy…”
NO COMMA!!! I don’t think I’ve seen this in your writing, but I could have over-looked it.
Another rule is that you use a comma when you’re directing to someone or asking a back up question, like these:
“Mom, you know I’m telling you the truth.” (directing your sentence)
“You know, Margaret, I’m just helping you with your homework.” (directing your sentence)
“I need some help with this project, James.” (directing your sentence)
“We aren’t going to that stupid party, are we?” (back-up questions)
Okay, now this one’s really bad. Like, my HLA teacher kills a person everytime she sees these. They are called comma splices, and they are the worst type of run-on.
Now, run-on’s are bad things, so, even if you don’t have any idea what the hell a comma splice is, you know it’s bad.
A comma splice is when two independent clauses are connected by a comma but no FANBOYS.
I know, it’s scary.
So, if you have:
“I slipped on the wet floor, she laughed when I fell.”
YOU HAVE A COMMA SPLICE!!!
There are three ways to fix this. Here:
- Add a FANBOYS after the comma
- Change the comma to a semi-colon. The comma is too weak not to have something to enforce it.
- Change the comma to a period and capitalize the first word of the second independent clause.
And that ends my speech on Commas.
Yep, I loved it!

Agents and Querying
Okay, so, even though I don't have anything ready for publishing yet, I have a main agent I'd like to talk to about her representing me. You wanna know the company?
Nelson Literary Agency
Yes, I know, many of you probably have no idea who the hell I'm talking about, but I've had this in my head for a long time that I'm querying her first. I thought it felt right since one of my many best friend's last names is Nelson, so I thought I'd have the best chance knowing that.
Also, she represents pretty much everything I write (like, genre wise) so that's a plus. She's represented books like:
I'd Tell You I Love You but Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter
Give Up Ghost by Megan Crewe
Vamped by Lucienne Diver
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
Gamer Girl by Mari Mancusi
'Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy by Leslie Langtry (Yes, it's a romance novel, but come on, that's awesome)
Her website:

Check it out, even if you aren't looking to publish anything. Even if you are planning to publish, it's not a bad idea to check out this agent. Maybe she'll like your work. *winks*

Dropped and Annabel-Leigh and Brightwing and Hell Hath No Fury and Elementation and PhobiaPhobic
Ugh, I have too many ideas. I'm going to post a new poll to the right (I think...) for you to vote on which one you want to read the most. Here are the pitches and stuff.
Here is Annabel-Leigh:
Title: Annabel Leigh
Title: Dropped
Author: Tamesis Mae Wren
Long Pitch: Desiree Wild has always lived in a world that that was normal. She had friends, but she wasn't popular. She was good-looking, but wasn't a model. She got good grades, but she wasn't 100% all of the time. She was athletic with archery but she wasn't an athlete. That was, until one day while practicing moving targets she gets thrown off the horse she was on and thrown into a fantasy world unlike all others.
Most have the beauty. Utopian wishes. Amazing sights surrounding. Yeah, this one? This one was exactly the opposite. It was dusty and old. Run-down and in poverty. Had no where to turn but to their only hope. And that hope wasn't a nice person.
President Hope doesn't know what goes on outside of her house and she makes the worst decision. Cutting money, hoarding necessities. The new world needs help.
Que Desiree, the fighter they've always wished for.

Tell Me Something I Don’t Know by Selena Gomez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RRyniZG0Jo&ob=av2el
Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqWpKATpZg4
Here is Annabel-Leigh:
Title: Annabel Leigh
Author: Tamesis Mae Wren
General Idea: Annabel Leigh has always been unnatural. Being able to sense people's feelings have only been one physical capability she has realized she had when she was a child. She can tell when someone is in the room and she gets emotionally attached to people she has never even met, just a name or a face on television. Before, she was freaking herself out by feeling people in the room when she was alone.
Until she saw that person.
At first...it was weird. Seeing someone who was ghostly white. She thought this person had broken into her house and she was going to die there. Turns out, the robber was dead and living in the house Annabel Leigh was occupying.
And that person wants to kill her.
Annabel Leigh now needs to convince her family that she's not insane and that this person is as real as can be before she has the evidence to prove it.
Additional Information: Annabel Leigh is brunette with a pixie cut. She has that face that makes her look childish. Green eyes.
Here is Brightwing:
Title: Brightwing
Author: Tamesis Mae Wren
General Idea: Four people have been friends for more then ten years. Sarah Wing, Jacob Night, Maria Slenace, and Andrew Rain have lived on the same block in the same town since they were born. They knew they were meant to meet when they all realized their mom’s had given them special nickname. Sarah was Brightwing, Jacob was Evernight, Maria was Moralsilence, and Andrew was Icerain. They also had the same interests in almost everything they did.
Fast-forward ten years.
Brightwing, Evernight, Moralsilence, and Icerain fly above the tree-tops in South America during the summer. How, you may be asking. Brightwing is a bird. A sweet little robin when she wants to be. Evernight is a blood-sucking bat. Moralsilence is a quiet, nervous owl. Icerain is an independent, strong hawk. They’ve had the abilities since they could remember. Keeping it a secret is necessary.
But it’s extremely difficult.
(I still need a cover for this one.)
Here is Hell Hath No Fury:
Title: Hell Hath No Fury…
Subtitle: …Like A Woman’s Scorn.
Author: Tamesis Mae Wren
General Idea: Luken Relistic has the most unrealistic job in the world. But, heck, someone has to do it. Luken is an assassin for a highly top secret spectrum in the government. He’s only eighteen and has already been to 157 countries and has killed more people then he cares to keep track of. One of his most memorable cases was when he killed a pregnant woman because she knew too much.
Edge has been living in guilt and sorrow since her pregnant sister was killed after breaking-up with her boyfriend. No one knows how it happened, except Edge. Edge has promised revenge on whoever did this to her sister. She hasn’t turned Luken in yet because she personally wants to tear him to shreds.
As the two’s paths “unexpectantly” cross, they hit it off. For months, Edge works her way into Luken’s life, pretending to be in love with him. She goes through all the motions and is just waiting for him to propose. Once he does, Edge’s plan goes into full motion. But, as she’s planning, she realizes something is strange. The more she’s around him, the less she wants to kill him.
Will Edge decide to avenge her dead sister or live happily with Luken, silently keeping the secret only she knows?
Elementation, Book 1:
Title: Aqua (Book one in the Elementation series)
Author: Tamesis Mae Wren
General Idea: Aqua is special. Aqua contains the Virtus aquae, or the power of the water in Latin. She needs to live near it, or she disappears. (I’m still working out the plot for this one…)
Additional information: Aqua has shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes. She’s tall and she’s very graceful. She can hold her breath underwater for hours on end if she wanted to and she can manipulate the water.
And PhobiaPhobic:
Title: Phobiaphobic
Author: Tamesis Mae Wren
General Idea: 14-year-old Gabriel Sundy has never been normal. He knew from a very young age that things were wrong. He knew that he had OCD, though he didn’t have an actual name for it yet. He knew that things weren’t allowed to be out of place or unorganized or unsymmetrical. Things couldn’t go wrong like that.
As time continued through his life he realized he had a number of extreme phobias, including Thantophobia, or the fear of death. He’s been to a number of doctors, and they’ve diagnosed him with so many, including:
Aichmophobia- the fear of needles
Chiraptophobia- the fear of being touched
Genophobia- fear of sex (I might change this one for the pitch…)
But when Jake’s mom realizes how honestly debilitating his OCD, Phobias, and newly occurring Panic Attacks are, she hires Calliope, a fourteen-year-old who will work with Jake while he tries to get over his fears and compulsive actions.
All goes well until Jake is pushed to far and might not to be able to push himself back to where he started.
So, on the side bar thing, vote your little heart out for whichever one you want to see me finish!!!

Brightwing
Okay, so, I know this is my third blog post today, but I've finally got the new book idea. It's about these four artists:
Brightwing
Evernight
Moralsilence
Icerain
All of them are kinda outcast-y. Brightwing can turn into a bird, and Evernight can turn into a bat. (I'm still working on the other two.) I'm still figuring out the whole plot idea, but that's the jist of it...
Whatcha think???

New Book Ideas!
Okay, I need some new book ideas, and I'm having a gigantic problem in thinking of one of them. I've been sitting here for at least an hour thinking of something to write but nothing's coming...I'm so frustrated...
Hello!
Okay, this is my newest blog! I love to write, and I want to publish before I leave high school. I have a bunch of friends who write, and most of them love the writing. Uh, so, yeah...I'm going to posting pretty much everyday, and it's going to be about my writing. There will be a really long one on February 12th because I'm going to comp, so that's exciting...so, yeah, I'll post more when I have more to say!
