Mother’s Day

My mom is amazing at keeping me on track, with my schedules, and goals. She makes sure that I don’t forget thing when going to school, and makes sure I feel loved at home. She is my favorite woman in my life because she has been with me all my life, even when other people left.

Map done 20% project week 4

I’m excited because I accomplished a lot this week. This week I finally finished my map, I added all five of my kingdoms to the map and more, along with mountain ranges, and added different colors, referring to there biomes. The one thing this week that I feel I need to work more on is the magic system, I am still unsure of what I actually want to do with the magic system, so that is definitely the failure of this week. Next week I want to finish the magic system, have another meeting with my mentor, and work on my trifold. I’m almost done, and I am so excited.

Rad Reading April

This month I read the famous fantasy book series Keeper of the Lost City’s by Shannon Messenger.

After living with humans her whole life Sophie’s world is flipped upside down when she is told that she is an elf. In the elven world Sophie, and her friends must fix the problems the council isn’t willing too. I would recommend this book to people who like Harry Potter, or who want a long ingesting fantasy book series.

My favorite character is Elwin because he is lighthearted . Evidence that he is lighthearted is on page 121 where he says, “‘That just sounds funny coming from someone hugging a stuffed elephant.’ Her cheeks heated up, ‘I know it’s lame but—’ ‘I’m teasing. Personally I can’t sleep without stinky the stegosaurus.’” This proves that Elwin is lighthearted because he is making jokes. He makes Sophie feel less anxious because he made a joke to lighten the mood, and because he makes sure they both laugh at it.

My favorite quote is from Alden on page 84 where he’s says, “No reason to worry” the reason this is my favorite quote because it is the most classic Alden quote from the book, and is known well in the community.

A bit more 20% project week 3

This week I worked on adding more gods I added two new minor gods, one of them was the god of confusion, and the other was the gods of schoool. I did this to meet my goals for the end of the twenty percent project. Unfortunately this week I really am not happy with the amount of work I did, so I do feel like next week I really need to step up my game and finish my map, and antagonist group. To catch up on my twenty percent project goals next week I am going to make the map no matter what, and I am so close to finishing my antagonist group who go against the gods, but with a twist, and a betrayal. I want to go a tiny little bit beyond my twenty percent project a create sore wars between the kingdoms and the gods. Next week I want to finish the map, and explain the wars that happened, and explain the magic system.

Slow and steady 20% project week 2

this week I had a conversation with my mentor about the project, he showed me his old fantasy worlds, and gave me good advice on naming thing in my fantasy world. I have added rulers to all of the kingdoms, and who they are allies with, but not enemies. I also have created explanations for how the sky kingdom is alive.Unfortunately I still haven’t made a map for my fantasy world, and I am unsure about reworking the magic system. I feel like I am not making as much map progress as I would like too. The next time I work on my twenty percent project I want to finish the evil antagonist group, add a few more Gods to the pantheon, and explain them much better. I am very exited for next weeks progress, I hope that my fantasy map making website will be a lot less buggy in the future. That all I have to say see you all next week.

The Room of Laziness

My favorite room in my house is the living room. The living room is my favorite room because I spend most of my time awake there, charging my devices, and playing games with my friends. It’s also where I hang out with my adorable cat Fanta, he gets his fur everywhere though. Finally it’s where my family has movie night on the TV. which I always look forward to. Those are the reasons the living room is my favorite room in my house.

A Star Mobile Game

Now a-days it’s hard to find good, or even decent mobile games. Since most mobile games are made with the bare minimum, but with enough movement you can put it at the bottom of your video to keep people’s short attention spans fed with dopamine. For me the most popular mobile games are only fun for about a week, addicting gacha games, or pay to win live service, all of which are full of in app purchases, and micro-transactions.

However I think I have found a mobile game that can be fun without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars, Brawl Stars. I find brawl stars fun because the character progression is amazing, and the early character aren’t strictly worse then the ones you get later on. I also love that you can play with friends, and team up! Right now my favorite character is Barley who can throw cocktails that do damage over time, he is good for maps with lots of walls, Heist, and Hot Zone. Some other good characters are Bo for long range damage, Poco for healing and wide shots, and Darryl for wide range damage, especially in maps where enemies are funneled to one spot. I recommend you play this game as there aren’t that many downsides. It’s free to play, the matches are quick, and it’s never a slog to get through, so go get this shining star among mobile games. Brawl Stars.

20% Project week 1

Hello my name is Sterling, and for my 20% project I chose to create a fantasy world with world building.

This week I started getting progress on my fantasy world Dynio. I created the first gods, and a creation story. Right now I am working on how the kingdoms of light, and sky disappeared. A failure of this week is the map making website I’m using called Inkarnate, it was buggy, and I ended up losing my progress. I think it happened because I wasn’t using a recommended browser. I want to adjust the magic system I made to make it simpler, and to add better consequences for magic use. I also want to start writing the group that is the “villain” I have a total of 10 gods right now, wich I hope to turn into about 16. Next week I hope to have a finished map draft, and relationships between kingdoms.

If Only

If I could invite any 3 people real or not, dead or alive to a restaurant I would first choose Percy Jackson from, well, Percy Jackson. I would also invite Sophie Foster from Keeper of the Lost City’s, and finally I would invite her boyfriend Keefe from the same series. I would invite these people too the restaurant because, one I want to see how they would interact, both being from similar books, second I want to just talk to them to see what their life is really like.

Rad Reading March

This moth I read the sequel to Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan. The cover is somehow even better than the last one, the colors, and art style are incredible.

After freeing her mother Xingyin try’s to settle down, but a healing magic makes the moon a target for a general Wugang to get. Wugang shall betray the emperor, and create an undead army to conquer the world. Can Xingyin, Liwei, and Wenzhi find a way to defeat Wugang? Or will his undead army conquer the world.

My favorite character Xingyin because she is brave. Evidence of Xingyin being brave is on page 386 where she says, “‘This isn’t just about vengeance; this is greater than us all. I want Wugang to pay for what he’s done, but more than that—I must do this. He is a tyrant, a ruthless madman, who thinks nothing of sending his armies on an endless rampage of death. He has killed so many, and he will murder countless more if not stopped. What future will await us under his reign ?’” This shows that Xingyin is brave because what she says in her speech. She knows that doing what she is going to so is super dangerous, and risky, but she does it anyway because if she doesn’t the whole world could fall. She did that when not many others would.

My favorite quote is on page 456 where the author tells us, “To live a life with love, was to live without regret.” This is my favorite quote because it gives such a good message in so little words. It just tells the reader from the characters perspective, how to live a life with love.
