HARANZA In the Forest--NUMBER ONE

I tripped on a twig. I, Haranza Vigil, tripped on a twig in the middle of a forest that doubles as my backyard. This was the place I'd spent my whole childhood. I knew where every tree was, where every crack in the earth's surface was located. I knew every bird that sang in my forest, and every Judai that purred. The forest was mine. My name, Haranza, means she who rules the forest. But that day, my forest betrayed me. And as my face hit the dirt, I knew it was all over. I had no idea what would happen next. I just knew that life as I knew it had suddenly ceased to exist. When I fell I lost something. I lost the will, the killer instinct, to stay alive just for a moment. That moment has cost me the past three years of my life.

Let me reverse a little bit to the time before I tripped. Everything in Ragain, my village, haad changed. We had a new leader. All of the Ragaini people were in the streets rejoicing and falling at the feet of Ormiou. He was the man that was to bring us freedom from the Foosas, the neighboring village-people.

The Foosas are quite a barbairic bunch.

This is My Blog

Okay so I already had a blog and for some strange reason I decided to make another one. I have no idea why. I created this blog back in March and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it ever since then and just a couple minutes ago, it hit me. I was watching this episode of Degrassi where Claire posts these stories online. I used to be so into writing. I think it all went out the window when I got a boyfriend. I didn't need a fantasy world anymore because my boyfriend is the absolute best Prince Charming. Anyway, on this blog I will post all the crap that I write. Let me forwarn you: my writing is nowhere near good. It's actually pretty damned horrible. I am hoping it will get better.

I like to write about things as soon as I think of them so sometimes this might not make sense. For example, I might just write something like 'Raine-->India--->Adopted.' Posts like that will be for my own benefit. I think my first project will be following the lives of different teenage girls. Here's how this is going to work: the title of each post will clearly state a name and a number. The name will be the name of the girl from whose perspective I'm writing. The number will represent the story number. Example: if today was the first day I was writing about Raine title would be something like 'RAINE the Intro (1)'.

Hopefully this makes sense. If it doesn't make sense then... I guess it doesn't really matter. It's not like anyone is going to read this anyway! :)
