Red is releasing a new album? Since WHEN?

I know Skillet will be releasing a new album in March/April of this year. What I didn't know is that Red is releasing one on February 5th! Why didn't I know about this?? For the record, the preview song I heard today is EPIC. Have a listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8CBbdjE6PE

I will be looking forward to hearing the full album, along with Skillet's new album in March/April. Woo!

Like my writing? Hearts are appreciated!

I've been going around to all of my writing sites promoting like crazy. I've recently entered a heart-based contest on Figment.com and I have so much competition it's not even funny. I really need hearts, but you can only heart my story if you're a member of Figment.com. If you are or if you know someone who is, have them check out "Moe" under the username SparxFly101. It's a two-minute read that I'd really like to get up to the Top 10 Most-Hearted since those are the ones that will be read by the judges. Tell everyone you know about this - I need all the help I can get!

The story is about a girl who buys a stuffed monkey from a store around Valentine's Day and when she brings him home, he comes to life. Here is the link if you'd at least like to read it: http://figment.com/books/526668-Moe

Thank you and have a good weekend! :)

Flash-Fiction

On Figment.com I'm always getting swap requests, and lately I've realized there's always been a pattern to the ones I get. Right now there's a Romeo-and-Juliet theme coming through, so I checked to see if there were any contests going on. Sure enough, there was a "dangerous love" contest on the list. No wonder I keep reading about Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, and the rest!

The contests I saw listed looked fun, so I decided that if there was ever a contest that I liked I would try to enter. Then, yesterday, one came up. My prompt was to write about someone who does something heroic to save his/her family in 250 words or fewer. I've never written flash-fiction before, but I gave it my best shot and entered the contest. As far as I know I'm the only entry right now. The deadline is Monday.

If you'd like to read the story I entered, follow this link. It only takes a minute to read. http://figment.com/books/521431-Superhuman

Happy reading and have a good weekend! I'm finally free of government class since semester ended on Thursday, so for the first time in a while I'm excited about school on Monday! :D

Sonic Can Dance!! :D

It's times like this when I am again reminded of how awesome Sonic is. This is him REALLY dancing, just edited to fit the song. The modern Sonic is a WAY better dancer, but classic does pretty good, too. I LOVE THIS HEDGEHOG!! :D
