To some people shoes are just merely a covering for two feet. Clunky things that hold them hostage. The first things to be flung into the corner after a day of school.

Even though this is true to me too, I feel they are so much more than that. Remember your first pair? You were just a little child, still probably couldn't pronounce "shoes" not to mind "stilettos". You were being influenced by shoes all around you. Where would Cinderella be without her glass slippers? As you vigorously moved on to your black school shoes favouring the ballet pumps but compromised with the parents only to get the doll that was hidden in the sole. As you grew, your feet grew and so did your pile of shoes. Strutting around in your big sis's heels and accidentally snapping them then hiding them way under her bed, acting all innocent. Those football boots you wore as your team won while you looked on from the sidelines.Then came converse and they were a must!

Face the facts: Shoes are a part or your life. They can tell so much about the person. They have been with you through rain, hail, sleet or snow. Thick and thin.

This is our life in shoes!

 

 

Hey everyone! This is Morgan, from What's Hawt and What's Nawt! I am so excited to be part of Blog for Joy! So now, onto what I really want to talk about. 

First, since it is Halloween, I'm posting photos! Do not use my pictures without permission, please.

 

 I know, it's not many, but I am having some writer's block. I shall follow my tips I posted on my blog previously, and am going to take a walk later to get new ideas.

Anyway, I love and am obsessed with the Hunger Games, and I always wanted to know what a Primrose looked like!

 

This is the evening  Primrose from where our lovely Prim Everdeen gets her name. You can find this picture here.

Finally, before I go on a walk, I am going to say what I think about psh. I use that word a lot. I use it in:

"psh, I knew that" mostly though. How do you use it? <3 comment and email me and tell! Thanks! 

<3

In the mirror
You're behind me
Your shadow to never die
I turn around
You're gone again
Just stay still, I cry
I want to know you
Know your pain
But you reject me every time
Just stay for once
And let us talk
Even about the most heinous crime.

Another little poem....

Sitting alone
In front of a screen
Laughing at HP memes
On Pinterest
Then eating ice-cream
While watching YouTube
Sitting with friends
Still in front of a screen
This time
Revising
Trying
For French
While eating Pringles
Fun

Two hours later
Pinterest has crashed
YouTube is boring
Friends have gone home
Pringles finished
Still Fun.

I'm sorry Molly. And Trinity. And Emma.

I'm having a party, where me and a few (lot) of my mates are coming shopping with me to a shopping centre. My mum and dad are divorced, so my mum's paying for the party. I was gonna have twelve people, but, I've had to cut back to nine. I feel so bad. I've already handed Trin and Em the invites, so I had to leave them a voicemail saying they couldn't come. I've called Moll. She's okay with it.

I'm crying. 

I'm so sad.

Hi everyone! I'm back, with some tips on conquering Nanowrimo, a competition I believe every aspiring writer should enter.
This is my third year participating and I'm looking for my third win this year!  You can add me on Nanowrimo, I'm ilovepurple.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you can visit their website (click on Nanowrimo above) or read this short tidbit about it.
It's a month long noveling competition, starting November 1st and ending November 30th (so it starts in 10 days!!). You win if you write a 50,000 word (OR MORE!) novel in that period of time. It's really great to cure writers' block (see my last post, click here!) or to get experience with writing novels. I really recommend you do it if you want to be an author, and add me as a writing buddy, ilovepurple! :)

1.)  Make an outline. So, by this point, if you're participating, you should have a rough outline of chapters, or at least a basic idea of where you want your novel to go. Because it starts in ten days, I recommend you have a chapter outline, or at least your plot, character outlines, and conclusion written down somewhere. This will help you so you don't have to waste time during the month to think about what you want to happen next.

2.) DON'T EDIT. I CAN'T say this enough. While you're writing, don't stop to change ANYTHING. After the month is over, and you've successfully written 50,000 words, go back and edit it! (If you want copies from Createspace, you'll have six months to edit it!) Please don't waste time by changing things around (unless you want to add things in, of course!)

3.) No contractions! Don't, shouldn't, won't. NO!!! Do not, should not, will not. That's better. :) Separating words definitely makes a difference in your word count.

For those of you participating, good luck!

Just a little Poem I wrote about winter.

Dancing and glittering, snowflakes fall

Red noses and pink cheeks of children out playing

Jolly christmas carollers at your door

Mince pie, roast turkey, yum!

Presents unwrapped from novelty paper

Reading traditional tales on Christmas Eve

Long walks through the snowy park

How everyone loves winter

Peace Out,

Erin x

Quite a lot
Of happiness to share
On this website

And for this blog we care
So how about
You get comfy
And read a few little posts
Because you might
Find some joy
In the one you love the most.

Hi! I'm Isabel and this is my first post. I hope you liked my little poem about Blog For Joy. I am looking forward to blogging here!

• School has been hard on me by giving me too much homework. 
• Thus the reason why I haven't been able to post.
• However, I'll try to post more often.
• And bullet points are fun. 
• Also, dear 'old' Stacy is turning 16 today (on the 18th of October)
• But I won't be getting my driver's licence yet because I still don't have my permit. 
• So don't expect me to drive with anyone anywhere yet.
• However, I'll still be writing stories, poetry, and taking pictures.
