Katy McAllister

Tyler Ward (YouTube Artist) has recently posted a featured artist of the week video and he chose Katy McAllister, who is absolutely amazing. She sung her original song; Here's to the Heartbreakers, and she did brilliantly. You can tell in her face that she sings from a very real place. Please go check out the video here: Video

Lost in Identities (Book Update 1)

As I think I mentioned before, I love creative writing and story writing in school- so I've taken it up as a hobby out on my own time. I have attempted to write a couple actual books- but they all end up half finished when I can't decide where they are going. I'm super crossing my fingers for this new one- named Lost in Identity. Its about a girl and her mother who run away from the cops- since they are wanted, only they do it alone. Each chapter kind of flips between each one- and they're constantly changing their identities so the characters are always going through something emotionally different.
I am excited to share- that in a period of two days, I've reached a word count of 5,718 :]
I'm very excited- and I'm going to be using this in NaNoWriMo. I'm cheating a little because I started early.. but oh well :]

New School

For the past 9 years of School for me (K-8), I've gone to a fancy private school, with amazing people but a ridiculous work load. This year I made the switch to the first public school I've ever been to. My best friend, who I never went to school with at all- transfered to the same school this year so we could be together in the same school. Ironicly, she hates the school more than her old one, and shes potentially going to transfer out in about 2 months. I'm alone at my new school and making new aquantinces is easy- friends are not. Ive met two girls who like to talk to me and thats about it almost. I don't know what to do without my best friend, but I have to keep reminding myself to put her needs infront of mine.
On the up side- I've got top marks in English and French 9 :]

Starbucks Run

Mum, Maddy and I all made a starbucks run a couple weeks ago and it was hilarious sitting with Maddy (Little sister) while Mum waited in line. Different quotes from her were;
"Do you think Aliens like Starbucks?"
"How do you kiss a dog?"
"I like pink hotdogs."
You can clearly see, I'm blessed with a hilarious, and an extremely special little sister.
Maddy, I love you :]

NaNoWriMo :]

This year I've decided to take part in NaNoWriMo.
For those of you who don't know what it is, NaNoWriMo is NationalNovelistWritersMonth. I've decided to pick up the pace on my newest book and buckle down in the challenge.
For more information- visit; NaNoWriMo's Site .
My Novel is about a girl and her mother, who are wanted by the police and are on the run, alone. They go two seperate ways and are contantly under cover. Ironicly enough, I named my blog and its idea after the novel- Lost in Identity. I may be 13 but I do have half an imagination.
I will post more details on it later :]
Please feel free to join in the fun- and add me as a buddy- My username is TheExtraEmily.

My Mother's Story

I thought I would rant/share my mother's story. About two years ago, something clicked, and my family started to fall apart. I am not going to share details because the bloody details don't matter- and too often my mum is judged on her actions. Even if she desrves it, I will try not to judge her, because she is still my mother, and I still love her.
2010, end of August, my parents sat us down- they have gotten a divorce. Since the divorce, my mum- I have never seen be so nice to my dad. Before it, she wouldn't even look at him. My dad is not only heartbroken, but still in love with her. He knows what she's done, and he has never given up on her, and never stopped loving her. Whatever she says- I know that the divorce is not the end of things, and that it will be a turning point for the better- my parents are meant to be together, and I'm not sure what will convince my mum that, but it'll happen.
My mum has changed- and I miss her and I was who she really is back. Our relationship is terrible and if we ever speak its little words. I miss her so much, and she thinks that we all hate her. That is the opposite of the truth.
Mum, we all love you. Me, Maddy and Dad. We have never given up on you- and we will never even think about it. We are all here for you- as much as you choose to push us away.
We love you.

PS- Just because you're loosing, doesn't mean you've lost.

Introducing

Being who I am, I feel the need to introduce myself. My name is Emily- and my last name is not Pace. (Stole that from Charlie Pace on LOST) But its irrelevant. I'm almost fourteen now- and like to think I can be mature... Sometimes? I'm a quorky more artzy fartzy type- I'd rather do something creative than sit around doing nothing.
I've written many stories and attempted novels- actually got up to 43,000 words on one- then ended the book after realizing it was going nowhere. I love art, I'm constantly doodling, drawing, painting etc. Some say because I doodle means I protect my secrets- that they're locked up in my doodling. I challenge them to figure them out- but only I know. I also play the guitar- and am much in love with it though I am searching for further lessons... I also have a YouTube account- my username is TheExtraEmily, and I make cool videos and Video Blogs there for other people's enjoyment and my embarassment. I'm an aspiring actress- though most of the time it feels like no one believes I'm serious, and no one believes in me enough to support me in it. I'm not in it for the fame, but I love acting and writing- how you can make someone feel something, an emotion, a pain, a joy- anything. You can make them believe your story and tell them anything, but at the end of the day- go to bed as yourself- even if you were a million different people that day. Sometimes I feel like I'm put down more than I am lifted up- but I have help.
I am not religious- but spiritual. There is such a huge difference.
Thats it for now,
