“SCAMANDIUS PEVREL!” Danaë shouts, her face turning red. “Just wait until your father and I are done discussing this situation!”

^dates (Updates)
I really need to think of what I can title these things besides "Updates" every time.
I had my mother read over what I had in Appocalypse over her vacation and I'm not sure if she read it or not. She hasn't told me anything yet so I have no idea if she read any of it. I hope she realizes that I need to have Appocalypse done by next year or I can't graduate. I am still on page 65 however, I need someone who has read it to nag me about writing more. I had someone in my Algebra 2 class last year read it as I wrote it and bother me about it until I wrote more. I need that again!
The Beginning map is going well, I don't remember where I was last time I wrote a post but I am now on page 8 and still going strong when I work on it. I am also having a book cover made for The Beginning by the same person who made the Appocalypse cover. The preview she sent me was looked pretty awesome except the sword blade was too thin and I thought it was too bright and shiny for medieval times. There's a castle in the background with the sword in the foreground, it looks awesome as it is except the sword needs some changes.
I need to play less games on my Xbox and Mac and work more on my books to get them done and edited so I can publish as soon as possible. I hope to publish them either sometime in 2016 or 2017, it will take a lot of work but it will be worth it. I think I'm going to publish on ebook devices first then possibly physical copies.

Updates on both books!
News for The Beginning: I am still working on the map but I believe I am almost done with it. The current map is included below. I am going to get this done before I continue with the story which is on page 7 now. The Beginning is my primary focus until I know what to do with Appocalypse.
News for Appocalypse: I am stuck on page 65 and I am going to have my mother read over it to see where she thinks I can go and if my writing makes sense. I cannot present a 65 page "book" as my senior project next year because my goal was to have it completely done by then. I present next Fall or Spring! I am going to include a quote here said by Phinalia: "Where should we go from here?"

UPDATE AND NEW BOOK!!!
I have news!
Appocalypse:
I am on the bottom of page 65 at 13,595 words! Almost to 14,000 words! The group is finally reunited as well, that's good. I need to work faster because I have to present this next year so I can graduate high school. I regret making my senior project finishing an entire book, it was really unrealistic!
New book:
I recently caught up watching Game of Thrones and started the first book. It has inspired me to create a fantasy story! I am calling it The Beginning for now but will probably change that later as I get more into the story. I also created a map for the world in Photoshop and I am still adding to it but it looks good so far. I also have a list of the names I'm using for the series, these were harder to come up with than the names for Appocalypse so I used a generator and tweaked the names to my liking. I am currently on the first chapter in this book and I am already at 1,000 words!

Kinda off-topic
First I'll cover the stuff that has to do with Appocalypse:
I am on page 64, I know I am writing very slowly but it is a tough process. The person who was reading my book and motivating me to write faster is back to reading it!
Now for the off-topic stuff:
I took the PSAT in October and I got the results in December. Just Saturday, I received an email from Pratt University in Brooklyn, NY. When I got back to mom's house on Sunday, I was told I received mail from a college. I opened the mail and it was from Champlain College. I looked into Pratt and found that they didn't have Game Design which is what I want to do. I looked into Champlain and they have Game Design! They even made me a personal website! Here is their website: http://www.champlain.edu/
Pratt was mostly art and architecture, stuff I'm not interested in at all: https://www.pratt.edu/
(I am not advertising them, just letting you know who sent me emails or mail.)

Progress!
I sent the first three chapters to SPBRA to see what they think of it. I really haven't worked on the book itself very much because I need some ideas. If you have any tips or anything feel free to let me know.

Website where I posted something
If you go to the link below you will see that I posted Appocalypse for a movie idea and I included all of the characters. You have the ability to suggest actors/actresses to play the characters along with who you think should be the Director, Writer and Composer. Appocalypse isn't done but I posted it and if I see that it gets enough support, I will try harder to get inspiration for it!
