This post was gonna have to wait 'till after school to be written, but since today is a SNOW DAY (oh yeah!) I'll write it now.
You almost definitely don't remember this, but a while ago, in the post Busy, Busy, Busy, I mentioned having an idea I wanted to follow through with, but not having the time.
Well, now I have the time.
This idea is something that's been hatching for a while, but was finally given the inspiration it needed from Corey's blog (I'd put a link to it here but something seems to have happened to it and I can't get there anymore). One of the links he had was "Blog for a story me and a friend are working on." Now, there was only one post on the entire page, and that didn't contain any story, but the idea was there, and I'll give credit where credit is due and say that after reading that I thought, "Hmmmm, it would be fun writing a story, maybe I'll do that." But, alas and alack, I had not the time! And so my wonderful idea has not had the opportunity to be followed through with.
But now it does!
Thus, I have put my idea into action. I now have a new blog for the story, Knights' Academy. The story isn't completely new; I wrote a short story for school last year for a little class competition we had (the stories were all voted on by the ninth and tenth grade classes--mine won :D) that I decided to build on, giving the story backround and adding events in there. Actually, now that I've started writing, that short story is a very, very minor event in the grand scheme of what I'm planning. Anyway, what should be happening is that I will post a chapter every other week (I originally wanted to do it every week, but after Chapter 1 took me two weeks--it's 7+ pages so far size 12 font and double-spaced in Word, I expect it to be around 10 pages when I'm done--I figured it would be wiser to give myself more time.) So, if all goes well, I'll have a fun and constructive diversion that will last me a long time, and you'll have more stuff to read.
The first chapter should be out soon.
Hope this goes well, enjoy!
(Oh, yeah, I want to get some ideas for a more creative name for Sam Williamson and some ideas for a name for the kingdom he lives in. Comment here if you've got some.)

How long is this story supposed to be? 10 pages?
Yeah, writing is fun...I've thought about posting stories on a blog, but it seems such a haphazard way of publishing that I haven't really gotten around to it.
No, the story is not supposed to be 10 pages.
The first chapter is, though.
hey smoosher, I can't wait to see your story couldn't find the link I'm proly just blind but yeah my blog dissapeared on purpose in an attempt to get away from stupidity that kept cropping up but I'm gona create a new one soon.
Ah, so that explains why I can't get there anymore.
Anyway, there actually was a link on the sidebar but I added another in the post for greater ease of finding.
