So this Summer has been a pretty good one for me. \ud83d\ude42 I had a lot of stuff go on and a lot coming with the mission trip and pitching to editors at an upcoming conference, but two big things were meeting two Hunger Games<\/i> cast members and going to DragonCon with my cousin.<\/p>\n

At a nearby Walmart, there was a Hunger Games <\/i>DVD release party and two of the cast members were there, Ethan Jamieson (D4) and Ian Nelson (D3). (Why did that sound like the beginning of some fairy tale? Lol)<\/p>\n

\nAfter almost two hours waiting, I finally got their pictures…<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ethan Jamieson (left) & Ian Nelson (right)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nAnd their autographs…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nRouyn-Plushie wanted to showcase. He’s Team Katniss. \ud83d\ude09 Ethan and Ian were both very nice and it was great meeting them. Totally worth the wait.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSaw Stan Lee…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd dressed up as Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/i> (the cartoon not the movie)…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd got some pics with some other Avatar<\/i> characters…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd I dressed up Rouyn-Plushie after I got home for you all’s amusement ;)…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHe wasn’t happy. \ud83d\ude09 Also FYI I’m actually a blonde. The brown hair’s a wig lol. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI’m still working on rewriting Subsapien Biomech<\/i>. About that contest, I didn’t win, but there’s always another one. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\nNot this week, but the next week there will be no post because I will be out of the country on my mission trip to France. Prayers would be appreciated for safe travels. \ud83d\ude42 I will be back with loads of pictures. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I hope you all are enjoying this blog. \ud83d\ude42 I want to make it enjoyable for you to read. I’m coming out with another character interview very soon. \ud83d\ude42 Thanks for reading! \ud83d\ude00<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAre you enjoying the interviews and the chapters? How was my first attempt at writing advice? Is there anything you would like me to blog about in particular? A particular struggle you’re dealing with in writing? <\/span>I can do my best to give some advice. A particular character you’d like to see an interview with or another interview with?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIf you liked this post, come back every Saturday for more writing advice, character interviews, book reviews and more! On Sundays I have Soundtrack Sundays where I post a new score piece, Tuesdays are Tea Tuesdays with tea reviews, Wednesdays I have Wonderful Word Wednesdays where I post a new vocabulary word, and Fridays are Fan Fridays where I post tags and other goodies. To help support my dream to be an author follow this blog, like me on Facebook,<\/a> watch me on <\/span>deviantART<\/a>,<\/span> and follow me on Pinterest<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. If you want to know more about my books check out them out here<\/a>. Thank you! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
