Fighter's Block

Image
Hi guys! It's Noelle (I mean who else would it be) and today I am kinda just writing a spontaneous sort of post.  I'm not even sure if I want to post it at all, but hey, that's what drafts are for, right? I recently discovered this website called Fighter's Block.  I don't know if you've heard of it or not; if you haven't, well....  *Eliza Schuyler voice* Imma about to change your life. The idea behind Fighter's Block is well... fighting.  It's like a tiny RPG to help you combat writer's block, obsessive editing, or sheer laziness (I especially struggle with the obsessive editing thing, despite the fact that the amount of typos on my blog exceeds the amount of money I have in my life savings).  You're a cute little mage who fights a weird egg thing (not really sure about that bit) that's constantly attacking you.  The only way to heal and fight back?  WRITE!!

Noelle - Week 3 of My 31 Days Art Challenge

Image
Hello, It's me. Butting into the weekdays even though my blog post day is Saturday.  *shrug* So I don't have much time to write out a long, interesting post, but for those of you who have been following my 31 Days Art Challenge, I present: WEEK THREE - Hope you like it! Bye!

Noelle - Week 2 of my Art Challenge

Hi guys! Sorry for posting out of the blue (and doing a pretty skimpy boring post) but I just wanted to show you that I finished WEEK 2 of my "What I Wore These 31 Days" Challenge!  For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you can learn more here and here .

Hey hey! Recently, I've been challenged to the "Answer Questions about Myself Challenge," soooooooooooo here it is! It's not like I've done something like this before... ( Jillian - A Tidings-Filled Tuesday ) twice... ( 50 Random Things About Me ) Onto the post!

Jay- I'M BACK!!!! (With 30 Questions)

Image
I'M BACK!!!! Oh yes, the Queen of Horror has returned! MWAHAHAHAHAHAH! Camp was pretty cool, and I may have pictures. (Probably not.....). I got slapped at some point, I rode some horses, did some stuff.....the usual. By the way, sorry this post was made early, I just wanted to get it out as soon as possible. SO YEAH, ME, POSTING! BE HAPPY! (More like I just ruined the posting schedule....SORRY, NOT SORRY!!) But on to the real post.....30 QUESTIONS!!! Yes, the most horrid of tasks...(Thanks, Anna)(Anna: YOU DEVIL SPAWN!!!

But here's a hint to my real name......IT'S A FAMOUS PILOT! When was the last time you cried? Recently, actually. A kid slapped me at camp and I may have shed a few shocked tears. (The slap didn't even hurt, to be honest...XD) Do you have an...

Another Random Post From Noelle (Sorry)

Image
Hey everybody! I swear I'm not trying to steal everybody's days, lol.  I'm just used to posting everyday...waiting till Saturday  just seems to take forever.   Besides, I'm going on vacation and won't even be here  next Saturday.  So there. Anyway, I've been doing a new art challenge, as I mentioned in this post .  And I finally finished week one! I would really, really  suggest this challenge: it's a good warm up in the mornings (or when ever you end up doing it...I finished Sunday's at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so not exactly morning...call it a summer morning)   It really helps if you're not exactly great at drawing bodies or clothing, or both, or simply want to improve on that.  Plus, you get to model in front of mirror to choose your pose so....just sayin'! So without further ado, I present: week number one! Well?  Well?!  You like, yes?  I think my favorite so far is probably Day 6, because that's the only on...

Noelle - Day 234 (Fantabulous Fan Art)

Image
Hey everybody! So, I keep talking about this fan art that I'm totally  going to do and stuff, but I've finally gotten around to actually making some fan art. Buuuuuut you don't get to see it yet, because I'm too lazy to scan it in today.  :P  What you get to see today is some of the basis pictures I've found, so that you can vote on them in the comments and tell me which one you want me to do! I totally was planning on doing this today.  It wasn't like I actually forgot to post until 7 o'clock at night.  Or anything like that.

2016 Reading Challenge

Hey, so I was told I had to post so here I am blabbing away. My mom found this reading challenge and it is different then all the rest I have seen. This challenge suggests a topic for you to read, not a specific book. So one topic may be a classic novel or a humorous book. This opens you to read anything you want. And there are sections depending on how much you read. There is no prize to whom ever wins but it would be pretty cool to say you read some  of these books.

Noelle - Day 179 (Weekdays, Monday)

Hiya! Okay, so originally I was going to post about how excited I was to be off of school finally.  And then I was going to just post RMS parts and call it good.  And then I was unsure.  And then I thought it would be fun to post about randomness, and finally it settled into a short post; remember the 1-Week Challenge that I put together?  Well, I have more! I've been trying to make each descriptive paragraph a little difference via writing style.  For example, this one is formed in short, choppy sentences (going against everything ever I've ever written...*shudder*) Monday was that kid.  The one that nobody likes.  Poor guy.  He tried so hard.  In music?  He sang off-key.  In math?  He raised his hand first - got the problem wrong.  At lunch?  Ate in the corner.  Maybe it’s the shoes.  They’re so shiny.  And perfect.  Like, all the time.  Bizarre.   So yeah, that's all I'm posting...

Noelle - Day 175 (Sunday Snoop)

Hiya everybody! I have literally five minutes to write this post and still come across as professional and nice and all that, but I'm sure I can do it (right?) Anyway, we're almost half-way through my little writing challenge.  Haven't seen it?  I posted the picture yesterday.  I'm doing personified week days - what will you do?  Stories?  Poems?  You decide! She was a snoop.  There was no doubt about that.  She had pigtails bushy-full of secrets that weren’t hers and blue eyes wide with things she should have never seen.  Adults loved her little blue plaid dress; kids sneered upon her angelic smile.  “ You are liar.  You’re were not busy, you were having a party with such-n-such,” she’d say.  Don’t bother telling an adult though - they’ll never believe you.  Sunday is much too perfect to be a snoop, after all. That's literally all I have for you guys today!  Have a great day, and don't forget to comment! ...

Noelle - Day 174 (1 Week Challenge!)

Image
Hiya! So like all challenges, I'm not going to do this in one week.  However, I will do this challenge multiple times, just to give you ideas.  There's no requirements, no pressure, no specific writing form, just a two word prompt with a day.  That's all I got for ya. Slight difference, between this and other challenges - this one's all me.  I sorta kinda made it up on the spot. So anyway, here's my next day (remember yesterday I did Friday, personified) The mess was unbearable.  It was driving me nutz.  But my friend Saturday?  Not so much.  He plopped down on the couch and used the pile of laundry as footrest.  The socks were foot warmers and dog toys; the stack of books entertaining and coffee holders; the couch a filing cabinet and a bed.  “This is the future!”  He said.  “This is the future.” Bye everybody, and don't forget to comment with your ideas and suggestions.  I hope you have a great day!

Noelle - Day 173 (Weekdays 1)

Fine. I won't post RMS yet.  Although you must know this is driving me insane.  Grrrrrrrr. However, I said nothing about not posting writing!  So I've been wanting to do this for a while - personifying weekdays as people (there might be a couple repeats, because some times a weekday can be multiple people...don't ask)  And no, this isn't like a marathon that's going to repeat every single day until you're all bored out of your skulls.  But it will be fairly often.  :) So here's today writing! Comment if you like it, or with your own twist on the Weekdays Challenge, because yes, it is a challenge...now.  Pinnable/re-postable poster coming soon. She was a breath on the wind.  One day here, the next dancing away, and the next she would be unrecognizable.  She was today, she was yesterday, but she was never tomorrow.   She painted her lipstick on bright red, her mascara on dark, and her tattoos like stickers.  Her hair was ...

Noelle - Day 150 (Of Steve and Prom)

Image
HIYA!! How are you today?  Good? Today is the Steve comic for the week!  I've been putting it off all week and kinda need to get it done or I might forget and yeah.  :) This one is one of my favorites, even if it is kinda small...I was just like, what would happen if Steve went to prom? Besides Steve, I have nothing else of interest...yeah.... Anyway, remember, your favorite blogger (Who is obviously Jillian...no seriously) is at war with somebody and I support her fully, so comment below with the words "puppies are better than dragons" so that our dear  friend Vegetable (the one who began the war) can not win.  :)  In fact, its a challenge - get three signatures (family, friends, random people) with a name (doesn't have to be first and last) and "puppies are better than dragons"   Have a great day (and lets win this war!!)

30 Day Disney Drawing Challenge #1 (Draw Your Favorite Disney Charater)

Image
Hey hey! So I know most of you probably have regular favorite Disney characters. Aladdin, Ariel, Merida, Rapunzel, Woody, Dopey, etc. Those are all great characters but I like the wild side of Disney, for example, Dug, Bolt, Marie, Pascal, Flounder, Abu, etc. My favorite Disney character just happens to be Pegasus, he's just so funny and awesome! Anyway... on to the drawing!!! Ta-da!!! Bye!

Noelle - Day 122 (So....Hi)

Image
I want to start off by apologizing. I went full on RMS marathon mode with out thinking, huh, maybe I should post something interesting along with the non-interesting RMS posts...huh.  *taps chin thoughtfully* Ain't that smart?  So, you have my full apology for not giving you guys my best, da best, and only da best (110% all the way y'all) Now, I want to actually start off the post by completely nullifying my apology and posting RMS junk!  Aren't I a wonderful person?  No? At any rate, we're almost done with Book 1 of RMS!  Can you believe it?  Just like 15, 20 more pages on this gigantio document I've been using for all the posted parts, and then we're off, wondering why Noelle couldn't just continue the plot into a longer story.  Because I'm evil, that's why.  Get used to it. Speaking of evil - Jessie Willow costume pics, coming soon, as well as some concept art (that I totally didn't do)

30 Day Disney Drawing Challenge

Image
Hey hey! Just wanted to try to do this drawing challenge because I L-O-V-E Disney and drawing, and what's better then putting those things together. So if you want to join me in doing this challenge go right ahead, it would be good for multiply authors to join :) For this challenge I think you could pretty much use any art supplies you want, pencils, markers, paints, etc. P.S. I'll probably start posting pictures for this on Nov. 1st Bye!  

Noelle - Day 117 (TDCP Day 4 and RMS Parts as Promised)

Image
HIYA!!! I don't have a ton of time, so let me get started so I can finish.  Kapeish? I'm mainly just taking pictures of stuff around the house... And....  let me just blurt this out real quick before the R.M.S. story parts - as many of you know, I'm going as Jess for Halloween (my buddy Lily is going to be Shadow {coming soon} for my costume b-day party) so before photos for my costume coming soon!  Can't wait to show you guys!  :)  Don't forget to comment and post (looking at you Madison) Random Marvel-based Story (Part 60 & 61) “We could have done a stake out when it wasn’t raining,” Jess said as she angrily wiped her dripping hair out of her face.  “I’m mean, look at me - I’m soaked!” S.H.I.E.L.D. had gotten word that two baddies - Crossbones and some other unknown entity - were going to make a deal at this warehouse.  Jess was highly skeptical, thinking it could be a trap, so of course she was the one that had to go wait out i...

Noelle - Day 116 (TDPC Pics and Homeschooling Myths BUSTED)

Image
So obviously, I've missed a few days Since my last post.  I actually have been SUPERbusy, but today, I can relax a little because - believe it or not - this blog has more than one author who can post 365 posts instead of me!  GASP, I know.  :) So this is Mr. Skeleton (he's made out of a sock) and he hangs out in our house around this time of year.  The photo came out all grungy, and I love it! Anyway, so today at my school (Queen of Heaven Academy) was INSANE but let me restart.  Just want to clarify for a few people *clears throat at all people everywhere ever* that believe it or not, I do go to school.  In fact, I do school on weekends and even on Columbus Day!  A couple myths I would like to BUST right here and now: Noelle's Myth Busting...3...2...1...GO!!! Homeschoolers (aka, people who don't leave their home to do school) aren't really ed-u-caded and homeschooling is just some big joke .  If I have to laugh along with another on...

Noelle - Day 108 (30 Day Fall Photo Challenge, Day 1)

Image
Yes, I'm doing a Photo Challenge. Deal with it. Look at it this way, if I'm doing a photo challenge, well I certainly can't post just that for a whole month, so R.M.S. and tutorials coming your way!  :) These little guys are hanging gout out in our school room.  I of course wanted it to be all grungy...artsy...dark...yeah. Click to make it bigger. And, of course, your R.M.S. parts, and then I have to clear out. Random Marvel-based Story (Part 58) “There is no way I’m ever letting her on the team again!”  Nova screamed as Jess limped into practice two days later. The other team members were just as skeptical.  “No way, niet, no, never, nien, nope, nah-uh, I don’t think so, not happening, no,” Spider-man snapped, angrily turning away. Ava got right up in her face, her fists balled and ready to attack at the slightest provocation.  “You tied up the Director!  The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!  You could’ve died!  You put so many...
