'Tis the night before Christmas when I write in this blog. Listen people, Merry Christmas tomorrow! And for the people who celebrate any holidays: Happy "Insert Holiday", and for those who do not celebrate have a great time.
As you shall now know, I have turned 14 years of age on December 21. Hooray. I am also working on a book, and a compilation of short stories that will be amazing and that I know will get published. So it has been very exciting for me, other science fair and various homework that keep on vexing me. I have gone to through as entirely knew person, and just love the new iPod touch that I received. I would also like to thank my readers for inspiring me, greatly. Truly I do. I am also willing to hand the Life of A Writer blog to a few friends who are truly helping me right now. Changes will be known shortly.
For my fans, I will write a holiday story, although beware to those of you who know my writing style, for it has Human Resources in it. However, after that one, I will write a story with a happy ending!! Eye popping, isn't it. So for now, that is all that I have to say. Thank you.

Dear readers, I meant to post this on the 27th, but here I am writing right now when it is currently 12:24 A.M. No wait, 12:25 A.M. I just realized that the Blog's timer is 2 hrs. and 1 min. behind my correct time for the time zone I live in, but I'm to lazy to do anything about it. Well, Happy Thanksgiving (no offense intended) or Happy Turkey Day everyone. There are some strange things going on.
A poll on the Short Stories and Scripts of Nawal site has ended. According to the results, I am supposed to write a Dark Humor story, and I will give all I have in my power to do so. I thank everyone that participated in the poll.
If you have been listening to the news, you might have heard the terrorist bombings in Mumbai, India. Many lives were taken, and a great number of people were injured or mortally wounded. I still do not know the reason why the terrorists did this, but I can guess that reasons are close to, if not the same, as what I say: power, revenge, religious causes, fun???, no reason, political/economical reasons, racial reasons, et cetra, et cetra, et cetra. It does not matter, for I ask if it is really necessary to take a human's(or s') life? Can't anything be compromised. If anyone is fighting for land, when you die, the land will remain, unlike the person who wasted his/hers life over it. The land was never yours, and never will it belong to anyone. If anyone fights for money, then when they die, the money will remain in this world, obviously. However, why waste your life over it, for doing such a thing could be considered foolish. It can be shown in history that change causes change. So unless there is someone to stop it, conflict shall also cause conflict. I have to ask that why do people start fights anyway? If anyone stops to think about it, then through the smothering and clouding blackets of race, religion, society, and politics, they will see that we are all human. The world could be a better place if it was something like this:
"Are you Christian?" A man would ask a person about their religion.
"Gabosa." You would answer, giving him your surname.
"What?" He would ask puzzled, gaining a chance to become aware and free of the burdens created by our own minds.
"My name is Christian Garbosa." You would answer smiling and offer your hand.
"Oh." You would shake hands, and the other man would walk away in a daze of awareness, maybe seeing the truth or maybe not.
OR MAYBE...
"Are you a Christian/Hindu/Muslim/Jew/German/Oriental or Traditional/Buddhist/ [insert religion, race, belief, cult, group, political party, society level, etc.]?" Someone would ask you with some judgement that is just waiting to pounce on top of your answer.
You would smile, slyly, holding back a full blown grin, "No. I am a human. What are you?"
"I am a...human." They would have to reply back.
This is the one I like, for it brings out the best reaction and you might have set someone on to the path of self realization. It's these little things that can make the world a better place to live in.

Hello, everyone. I know that I have not posted for a long time, and I have to say that I apologize to my readers for that. However, my readers must realize that I also have to finish my homework, and it that course, I do not always get time to write on this blog of mine.
As I have to say, many things have happened during the period of time I did not write.
- Middle School Romance: There have been many unexpected relationships in the past few weeks. This is has gotten so outrageous that if you had seen the same two people before they had been dating, you would have bet that the apocalypse would have happened twice before those two people had started to go out together. Well, what do you know? The apocalypse seems to have be on coffee break.
Some couples that I see, are dating just for the sake of dating. Some of them avoid contact with each other, talk very little, and try to like each other, but it just seems awkward.
I have asked myself about the point of middle school dating. There seems to be no point in dating until you can drive a car.
- Growth: I could sworn to feel myself growing taller, which is strange. The 8th graders are now gigantic. A friend of mine, Ben Chang, is 6+ feet tall. He just turned thirteen, so congrats for Ben, for making most of us look vertically challenged. I think that I am now 5 ft. 5 in. + tall.
--Poker: Texas Hold 'Em has become one of the most popular game in our school. We play the card game almost all the time. When we are not school, we play poker online with all our friends.
--Accidents: I had an accident. I fell of my bike. So my nose is a bit scratched, but otherwise I'm unharmed.
--Region Band: This is one of the most important of all. This year was my first time at region band. I think I did pretty good, and I hope I got a good chair. After region, I went to friends house to play basketball, football, poker, watch TV, eat, talk, and have fun! It was just something we did to relax and take our stress away.
--Number of Site Visitors: The story called Nawal Land: The Forbidden Fruit has increased the visitors of our site, in about a week, to 50+. Some people have even demanded a copy of the Preface that I wrote. I am currently working on the 1st chapter. So wait just a little while people!
--Time: The first 9 weeks is about to end, and we are going to get grades. I hope that I did good in everything. By the way, TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!!!!
--This post: This is all folks.

Hello, everyone. Summer has almost come to an end, and school is about to start. August 25th is practically waiting around the corner, getting ready to pounce. And before anyone can realize, they're six feet under...neath a mountain of homework. -sigh- However, the good side is meeting all my friends, and finally being able to have some fun.
I am going to Eighth grade this year, so this means I get to experience an year that is harder than my freshman year. That's the WAVE program for you. D: Yes, bleak is a good word right now.
Today, my family and I went to pick up my school supplies. You know, the usual: Planner, tissues, napkins, Calculator, pencils, pens, highlighters, etc. However, when we got to the school, and got a few things, we realized that the school did not sell the Standardized Dress Code clothes. So after quickly picking up everything, we rushed over to Wal-Mart, and got almost every colored shirt, that went with the S.D.C. I also bought chips and chocolate. I needed to have a little joy.
All the while, Jamie has been filling me up with so really good songs. I have thanked her greatly for that, since listening to good music, while writing helps me relax for a while, and it also helps me to come up with some really good ideas. So thanks again, Jamie!
Through experience the hardest part about writing a novel is actually finishing the dam-thing. However, once I set my brain to anything, I can accomplish anything I desire. So I have decided to actually write a book, which will later be called: Tales of the Wandering Bard by Nawal Aditya. For those of you, who have waited for my next piece of writing, you thirst will soon be sated, for I am going to have a writing extravaganza. This is due to the fact that summer will soon be over, so I do not need to worry about my summer homework anymore. WOOT! Now I can maximize my writing time, and show them to you so you can read! Win-Win.
Well, that's all that I can say for now, besides have fun, live a great life, and READ!!!

Okay, people, I am sorry I took another really long break. It happens, while you are busy writing stories. I would really like to just lie down and relax, but by stupid summer homework is always getting in the way of that. I am also taking care of my extensively long pieces of work, which I have not gotten to publish. While talking about my writing, I have to say that I came up with an amazing idea for a children's book. I think I am going to call it the Wandering Bard, but I am still deciding on that matter.
Now to talk about what has kept me from writing, besides the laziness and procrastination, of course. Tennis has kept me busy, since I want to get in the Eighth grade tennis team, really badly, so I actually got private lessons this year, and I am improving very, very quickly. With tennis, also comes working out, so I have been lifting weights, doing push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, squats, jump rope, and controlling my diet. I also have Tae Kwon Do to worry about, what not, with the forms, self defense, and sparring. I was also going swimming, but needed to concentrate on the homework that I had been given to work on over the summer.
I have to practice my musical arts, too. I have been playing Clarinet for about two years now, and I made the First Chair of the Intermediate II Band at the end of Seventh grade. However, I really want to make Advanced Band this year, so I am practicing that. I'm joining my school's orchestra next year, but since it is my first time ever playing the Violin, I have to go to the Beginner Orchestra. To help me with my musical talents, I was taking private lessons over the summer, but my Clarinet teacher can't work anymore, right now, while my Violin teacher is still training me.
Not only do I have fun things to do, I also have to study Geometry, Algebra II, and prepare intensely for the SAT; which means that I have to manage my time pretty well, if I am going to get anything done.
I am learning how to cook, too. Now that I am 13 3/4 years old (or something like that. I turn 14 in December 21.) my mother is teaching me how to cook some hard things. Some of which include spaghetti (from scratch), tacos (from scratch, except for the taco shell), ramen (microwavable. :D), and many other things. However, I really enjoy cooking Italian and Mexican food the most, since they are so colorful, and very tasty. :D
I spend lots of time writing, too. So I can strengthen my skills, and become the best writer there was.
I also spend some time meditating, listening to music, reading, riding my bike, running, and just relaxing. No matter how busy, I am, I have to make some time for myself.

Okay, people, I am back. School is over, and as usual I cannot wait for summer to end so I can see my friends again. Unfortunately, I have had to lay low, what with homework, tennis, swimming, clarinet, violin, writing, having a life, and many other things. But now I can ignore those things for a while and work on writing.
Believe it or not, I have been working out a lot. Well, as much as my body allows without breaking down, which I have discovered is quite a lot.
Things have happened since I have not written: I got a medal for State Recognition by Duke TIP Talent Search for taking the SAT and ACT, I have gotten much, much better at tennis, I have now found that football is a sport that I can tolerate, and I am a really good bicyclist.
I also have wireless internet! This is a really big deal for me, so don't scoff. I can actually see myself, and know what I am doing. This has a spiritual meaning. I am also working on the Dark Poetry Novel, and on a book about Nawal Land, so see you all next time!

Okay, I am back! Life is going to get awesome!! From tomorrow I start the day at 7:30 A.M., and go to Galveston Bay with my friends. I also help the environment, and have lots of fun. Then starting at 5:15 P.M. I get to go the Band Lock-In, where we have every type of game system, lots of games: DDR, Wii Sports, other Wii Games, Racing games, etc.; pizza, drinks, and the best part is that we get to party till midnight!! Then there is the weekend, and after that Memorial Day, then we get to go to the Oil Ranch in Hockley, Texas!! Amazing!

I entered a contest called: Join the Pack and here is what it said. I won baby! I WON!!
"Humane Sacrifice, was extreamly well written. It was great to say it simply. Then Three wolves on the move was very nice as well, good sense of emotion and intense time and effort was put into it. Beast inside was fairly well there was something missing I can't point out. But I thought it was really good still. And last but not least Nicholas Fang: Mooning::Chapter 1: Isolation, which probably deserves mroe credit then I gave it, although I can't have two bronzes now can I? Sorry if I disappointed some of you, you were all super though!", O-Kun
I also have complete copyright to my work. }:)
Can't wait to get in book form.
Well, that's all I can think about saying for now! BYE!

Today is the 17th. I know that I have not written anything since May 5, but I have to say that, between homework, eating, tennis, and band; I never got the time to blog.
Many things have happened since the last time I wrote on my blog. I mean I went to Splash Town, due to the band field trip, and I also have been working on my books: the Werewolf story and the Dark Poetry Novel. I also have been working out. I realized I can finally do pull ups. To those of you who scoff, I don't care, for I am proud, since I could never do pull ups before. Well, bygones are bygones, and so we move on...I mean back.
Okay, let's start with school. Mrs. Rockey's rampage receded. I know that it was our fault. I mean, she let us off without homework so we could be kids, and we began to neglect her Language Arts class. That got her mad, and I can understand why. It must have been a slap in the face, when we did not give a *beep* about her class. I mean how would you feel if you did something for a friend, and they took you for granted and treated you like trash. So we apologized for our behavior and promised not to do it again. I was like, "Thank God, it's over!", and that was the end of that.
I have been doing pretty good with my life. I have gotten much better at basketball, and now I get to be team captain in P.E. or I am chosen much more quickly when the other Team Captains are choosing the players. But most of the time, we play street ball instead of basketball. There been three incidents when my nose has almost been broken. However, no pain, no gain; and I have gained more skill than I think I ever had in the past few years.
My minicourse, which is Galveston Bay, is taught by Mrs. Garcia. It is also one of the most enjoyable course you can take. We go bird watching, catch grasshoppers, learn about the environment, and we are going to go on a field trip to Galveston Bay! Hooray!!!
Now we move on to Splash Town. IT WAS AMAZING!! I mean, I have never gone their before. Mitchell, Bhaanu, Dillon, Rohan, and I were talking throughout the whole time the bus was carrying us. Yet, we had to split up when got there, since we thought it would be more fun that way. So, Bhaanu, Dillon, and Mitchell went one way; and Rohan and I went another. The rides were completely amazing. The Twister, the Toilet Bowl, the Texas Free Fall, and many others that were just as great, but which I could not remember the names of. The Texas Free Fall was the most thrilling ride I could ever have the pleasure of riding in. The first three seconds , when you fall from 100 feet and you feel nothing underneath you feet, are the scariest moments of your life, but when you go so fast in two more seconds the ride is over. The worst part is just waiting in line, and feeling the platform shake. It is when you are trapped in your own mind. When you are your own enemy, there is no escape at all. Then there was the tidal wave pool. Another that was just as creepy when the waves were coming up. Rohan, some other kid, and I almost drowned in there. I was choking on the water, so I climbed up a ladder, yet stayed in the pool. Some other kid was drowning, and he needed to use the ladder, which I was blocking. Since he could not reach it, he grabbed Rohan who started drowning too. Then the life pushed me away, and I started drowning, but then he saved all of us, and told me not to block the ladder again. Well...that's all I can say about that.
I also decided to join Orchestra next year. So, my electives will be Orchestra and Band when I am in Eighth Grade.
That is pretty much it. See you again, next time!!

There isn't much to do today. I have a Social Studies test tomorrow, and I have to work on my Algebra homework. I am working on the Werewolf story (almost finished with Chapter 2), and I am working on my dark poetry novel. Good luck to my editors.

5/4/08
Today was pretty exciting, considering other days. I got up at 10:00, brushed my teeth, went to the john, and took a bath. After that we left for the temple, but before we did that, I chatted with Rohan Limaye. He reminded me that today was May 4: the day when the Houston Yacht Club party took place. I panicked, since I was worried that we would miss it, but was a little reassured when Rohan Limaye told me he would be arriving at 2:50. The party took place from 2:00 to 5:00, so we had to budget our time. After going to the temple, praying, and getting some Idlis and Dosa (Indian food), we left as quickly as we could and arrived back home. I got into my swimming shorts, and hopped into the car.
We arrived at the Houston Yacht Club at 3:07. I ran out of the car, took my shirt off, and dove into the 8ft pool. Chills were sent down back, and I felt as if I had just dove into a bucket of ice. Waves crashed down my body sending it deeper into the pool, but I pushed against the force and rose up to the surface as fast as a bullet. After watching a people jump off the pool's diving board, I decided I would join them. I dragged myself out of the pool, went to wait in the line, and when I was ready to go, I hopped onto the board and cannonballed into the ice cold water. As the water stung my back and chlorine did the same to my nostrils, my rear end bumped against the bottom of the pool. I looked up and saw and amazing sight. I could see the sky reflected off of the liquid. I released my legs from my chest and used them to push off of the bottom of the pool, and I shot upwards, once more. I spotted a few faces that I knew, in the pool. I saw Rashmi, Priyanka, and Javier. After I got out of the pool, I saw Mitchell, Bhaanu, Ryan, Emory, Mary, Hunter, Ross, and Matthew Casso and Counts. Mitchell and I went to go kayaking, but the list was full and the big boats were coming so they had to stop people from going. A little downhearted, we went to go fishing, but as Mitchell and I got the bait, tools, and fishing rod out of the van, my spirits immediately rose up. Sadly, this was my first time fishing. We ran to a pier that we had spotted earlier, and we yelled shock when we saw how unstable the thing was. It swayed underneath our feet. After we got the hooks and bait set up, Mitchell taught me how to cast. I got the fishing line tangled on my first try, but that was not unusual, and so I tried once more. After a set of new string, and a few "ouch"es, I could cast pretty well. After about half an hour, Bhaanu and Ryan joined us. We never did catch any fish, but the experience was quite memorable.
After that I left, and now I am writing this, and working on my Social Studies review. Well, I have to go now. See you later.

Sorry, I didn't get to post anything yesterday. I don't have time to do anything today either. I got a new digital camera, and I love it. I am working really hard on the Werewolf story, but don't wait up. TAKS week. :-( But...NO HOMEWORK...at least, not that much. :-) So so you tomorrow, if I get the chance.

I woke up at 11:30, feeling better than I had done yesterday. I brushed my teeth, went to the john, and ate a breakfast that consisted of pancakes, waffles, cereal, and orange juice. I turned on my computer to do my homework, started to exercise, due to the fact that my current goal is to get my old six pack again. While doing my homework, I got on to Google Talk, and began to chat with Jamie. It was pretty funny, and we learned a lot about each other. I had asked her to be an amateur editor for my stories, and she accepted. As the deal went, I was going to dedicate the book to her; it was something I was going to do anyway. after chatting for many hours, Jamie went to the park, and I went to ride my bike. I have been working on the Werewolf story and got to Chapter 2, yesterday. Right now I am putting typing in this very blog, while trying to finish my homework. My muscles actually grew a little. See you tomorrow!! :-)

The day started off pretty bad. I must have fell off the wrong side of the bed this time. I have been pretty sick these days, but today was worse than others. I puked in the sink for ten minutes, after waking up at 7:30. I had to get undressed and dressed pretty quick. Clothes were flying everywhere. But the day got better when I got to minicourse. Today was pretty exciting, well in minicourse anyway. We got to go outside again and I caught another cricket. This time we ventured further into the prairie land. We saw different plants, and even a few new animals. Some know-it-all kids were picking lots of berries, and uprooting many plants. That ticked me off; I mean one of the main things about this class is to help the environment, there they were destroying everything in there path. Jamie was not to happy about it either. We tried to make them stop, but when you tell a know-it-all kid to shut up or stop whatever he is doing, he just does it even more. After our trek outside, when we entered the classroom, once more, we got to look at a few cat tails. Then the know-it-all kids start talking about the history of these plants; Jamie and I exchange glances and start to laugh, while think, "Who cares!"
The rest of the was kind of boring until it got to Social Studies. I received a free day and some bonus points since I had finished my Photo Story Project. I took out my Werewolf story and worked on it a little. When Mrs. Graham asked us what it was, Tim, who was reading my story, told her it was a book I was writing. I told Mrs. Graham about the site I post my stories in and Mrs. Graham said that she had heard about it. I could believe my ears. That meant that people were talking about the site and that it was spreading. I was really happy. Skipping to Algebra, 4th Period. We took a quiz today, and I think I did pretty good on it. Then I saw Joseph, who is Asian, with a sticky note on his back saying, "Made In Mexico", and Branden, who is Mexican, with a sticky note on his back that read, "Made in China". It was hilarious. Elias had one that said, "Manufactured", but I edited that and made it, "Manufactured in the back of a FedEx truck. That got me laughs from everyone in the class.
The rest of the day, like in science, was not good, and P.E. was not worth talking about. So I guess that's all I have to say.
For those of you listening, I am working hard on the Werewolf story, nights too.

Today was a day like any other, unless you counted the progress reports that everyone received in studyhall. I got pretty good grades this time. Yet, as I called upon my Power, I knew I could do much better. From then on, I decided to always work harder. As I sat down on my desk to plan the Werewolf story I am currently writing, I remembered why had I gotten a computer lab pass. I quickly took all my social studies assignments and ran to the lab. I found that I needed to work on my slideshow, which I thought that Mrs. Graham would not grade. So after I finished that problem I continued on with my life. I don't really care about anything else that might have happened at school, and I do not want to talk about the surprise pop quiz that Mrs. Rockey gave us.
So I am still working on the Werewolf story and it is actually coming out pretty good. I have so much homework today and another quiz in algebra for Mrs. Wolfe tomorrow. This is not one of my good days.
I hope your day was better than mine.
This was written later at: 8:57.
God! Man, the Werewolf story is turning out harder to write than I thought it would be. I have only written 5 pages right now. I mean what the heck, man!! I think this going to end around 20 pages, so don't wait up. I might write a few other stories to read. Once again: &@$# this!! Even though writing a story is not easy, when you see people reading it, and compliment you on your writing; that is reward enough. *sigh*

Hello, everyone. I am glad you came to read this blog. I hope you are enjoying reading my stories in Nawal Aditya's Short Stories and Scripts. When it comes to writing about my life, I am too lazy to put a proper title. As you can see...Well, today I woke up, got dressed for school, and went to WIS. As I walked through the doors, I took my clarinet to the Band Hall, and chatted with a few of my friends. As the bell rang, I started to walk towards my Minicourse, which was taught by Mrs. Garcia.
"Nawal!" Josh, suddenly, yelled out mockingly. A few people around laughed, as I kept my head down and did not mind. I finally reached my minicourse and held the door open to let people in. A few people came in and I greeted them, as usual. Rose walked in, her black hair bouncing up and down, and I cheerfully said, "Hi!" She replied with another, "Hi!" and walked into the classroom. Then after David walked in with a few people (some whom I "helped" get in the room), Jamie came into the room, and I greeted her, "Hi, Jamie!". To which she replied, "Hi, Nawal." We all went into the classroom, then journeyed to the Computer Lab, then we went outside. As we were observing the prairie life (or as close as we could get to observing prairie life), we saw a few crickets and started catching them. Usually crickets would jump right off your arm, but the one I caught stayed on my arm for some reason. I soon found out why. It excreted waste on my wrist, but I carelessly flicked the piece of poop of my arm; and as soon as I did that the cricket leapt of my body. I was to hasty to crickets anytime soon. Everyone who was watching chuckled at the anecdote.
Mrs. Garcia then opened a gate, and told us to go inside it, so we could observe the plant life there. She also told to shuffle our feet so the snakes would hear our the vibrations of our feet and leave us alone. Jamie and I walked together and saw some really impressive spider webs.
"Isn't that what Trapdoor Spiders do?" She asked.
"Oh, yeah! You're right." I said. I really wish I had my camera, since I am a photographer. Now, Mrs. Garcia brought us to a bunch of plants with honey suckles hanging from them like white ornaments. After Mrs. Garcia had showed us how to get the honey out of the flower; Jamie, Paloma, and I, with the rest of the class took a honey suckle and drank some of its nectar. Jamie and I took another one, but her nectar dripped away, so I immediately gave her my honey suckle.
"Thanks." She told me.
"No problem."
Suddenly, we heard the pledge was being recited in school. The class hurried back inside right in the nick o' time, when the bell rang. I gathered all my junk and moved on to Mrs. Rockey's class, which was in the portables.
I did not notice anything new, until I sat down in my seat. I realized that Ms. Warner was there, instead of Ms. Rockey. I jumped up, stood up on my desk, and yelled out, "WHO ARE YOU!!!"
I am just kidding, although it would have been funny if I had done that. What I really said was, "Hi, Ms. Substitute", since I could not remember her name. She glared at me, and I remembered who she was! It must have been the intensity of her small, beady eyes that made me remember. The rest of the class we had fun, but I don't feel like going into the whole story.
The I went to Mrs. Graham's class, but I saw Mrs. Chapman there. This reminded me of my story: "Substitute". I shivered involuntarily.
We worked on our Photo Story for class. I goofed off for a while and made a photo of me being covered in graffiti and stuff. It was really hilarious. Afterwards, I said into my speaker for my Photo Story, "In the year of 2000, George W. Bush was elected president. People still ask, 'Why?'. Whoever was listened laughed out, even Mrs. Chapman.
Then I went to my Int. II Band class and we all struggled with piece titled, "Spy Chase". It is an incredibly cool piece, but it is also incredibly hard.
When I was going to my Algebra class, I put plastic, white knives on either side of my head, and got a few laughs for that. When Mrs. Wolfe spotted the knives, her lips twitched almost forming a smile, but she told me to take them down. An order I followed like any other: relentlessly. I did everything I needed to, in class, ate lunch, ran around in P.E., and then went to Science. Another class taught by Mrs. Garcia. One of my friends, Raymond was playing around with plastic knives. Mrs. Garcia confiscated them. I just gave her both of mine. Raymond got a detention towards the end of class, and I went out free. I am now writing this, and my Werewolf story. I am planning to write a romantic story after that.
