Without Posting

   Hey,

  We have a bit of a problem. 

  Way back when Miranda and I were working on chapters 15-30, we decided to put a bunch of short chapters in. I have no clue why, something about quality over quantity...regardless, I'm trying to lengthen them as best I can, but, Chapter 21, for instance, has FOUR FREAKING PAGES! The minimum was ten and I usually go for twelve for each chapter, so I have no clue why there are a bunch of four paged chapters. I'm pretty upset to say the least.

   Anyway, we're trying our hardest to post the chapters on Wattpad, but we can only go as fast as we slacked when we were officially writing the chapters, and apparently we were slackers -_-.  

   I'm very excited for Chaos to be rapped up; not because I am bored or I feel like it's actually work, but because I want to read the complete book myself :D

    Check out our most recent chapters, because we have 1 to 20 live right now, and will be posting 21-25 on the weekend. It's been a pretty productive week so far, let's hope that continues. 


    Just a small update post, so I must leave you with this now. Enjoy!

Just another pain

   I know I already posted like, two hours or so, but I feel like anyone reading this would like to hear about how I am so competitive that I almost broke my thumb, knees and arm playing, and here's the catch, badminton. 
   Miranda is over visiting my house, and my father teamed up with my little sister, getting Miranda and I outside to play with them in our small net and cheap rackets. 
    Anyway, I was taking it way too seriously, and kept diving for every 'birdy' that was going down. I hit most, but hurt many things in the process, and now I cannot type with my thumb and may vomit. 

   My day was great though, because I spent it with my family and had a great time in the process, so really, who cares? I'll take the pain because the fun was worth it. 


   That's pretty much it, no scores (it ended in a tie) and no bragging later (maybe a little) but I just wanted to reflect on what a great night it's been hanging out with my loved ones. 


   Honestly, we all should spend as much time as possible, because they are pretty great :)



   (May not apply to all, but I'll be your family :D)

Chrissy Chronicles




       Hello there! 

   It's Chrissy, trying to be cool by putting 'Chronicles' in the title because this will be a kind of scattered post, letting anyone out there know what's going on with Chaos, and with me too I guess :)

    It's Tuesday, May 28th 2013, and I'm trying to use the force to get a tootsie-roll (my latest obsession) into my mouth. It is not currently working but I will not give up! 

    Chaos is being slowly posted, bit by bit, onto Wattpad and I'll be glad once all the editing is done, for two reasons. 

  1.) It'll ACTUALLY be done! and
  2.) It gives Miranda a reason to FINALLY do Chapter 59. I know she's putting it off for the same reason I am putting off doing editing, because it's been so fun and we just don't want it to end. 

     I know once it's done there is still the books after it (spoiler alert, more than Chaos) and those will probably be even more fun now that we know everything about our characters and how they've evolved throughout this entire experience. Miranda and I joke that Nate is my son and Nicole is her daughter and we're the in-laws that get along like best friends, and it's brought us a lot closer this past year. I can confidently say that it's been amazing working with Miranda and I look forward to continue this journey further into our lives :)

   Done being Philosophical, and I want some cake XD

   (I don't want some cake but I don't know what could possibly follow that.)

   Anyway, I'm taking full advantage of this opportunity (Miranda's laptop) and am going to either write Chapter 60 (probably wont happen, I'm waiting for Miranda -_-) or do a crap ton of editing. I'm leaning toward the latter. 

     I feel this post has been long, deep and winded enough, so I leave you with this. Make of it what you wish.

Why you give me no title Blogger!?

Hello there!
Guess who!? It's Miranda... Again! I bet you guys are getting sick of hearing from me now, and you're all like "Give me Chrissy! NOW!"  Love you too guys :p
Anyway, I'm kinda bored right now, trying to decide if I should play Xbox or keep up loading. In the past few days I've uploaded soooo much. I know that I said I would post two chapters a week, however, I'm trying to post as much as I can now because we had Chapter one all by itself for so long.
I think I am going to just post 18 (the one I'm doing now) then break out dishonored (great game). 
Have a great week! And don't be afraid to comment! Please! whether it's here or on watt pad  we don't care, we love the feedback!

Continued Post (Strike of the Caps Lock)

 Alright, sorry for the last post. Miranda got the "Caps" lock off for me and now I can resume the post from earlier. 

  Anyway, it's been a crazy few weeks, with the revisions to Chaos and the traveling, I haven't been able to maintain a social life without worrying about the relationship between Nate and Nicole. I think it's officially taken over my life, and I'll constantly be worrying about whether or not they will live even though I know what's happening. 

   We have fifteen (15) chapters on wattpad, and it's been a crazy time for Miranda because she pretty much revised and posted those chapters herself. Well, I guess I helped with 1-10 revisions, but she did 10-15 by herself, so I'm quite proud of that :)

  I'm going to go read said chapters and add my personal touches to them, so I'll post again later this week. 

 To anyone who's reading this (if anyone), Thank you :)

 Here, enjoy this picture of a rabbit. :)


I'm Back!

    Hey there!

 This is Chrissy... sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been exploring Ottawa and all it has to offer. It truly is a beautiful city with a lot to see and experience, and I'll definitely be going back eventually. 

   Anyway, Miranda has been posting like crazy onto Wattpad, and we've been freaking out over the many comments posted by 'Calea112600' HELP US! WE'RE STUCK ON CAPITAL LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!

but it's  not on....right now it's off....so confused....going to jump off of a bridge..lol

65 reads!

Hey! 
Fancy seeing you here! It's been forever and a day, where have you been!? 
Okay, enough of that! Here is the update for this week:
Chapters 1-10 are posted and have 65 reads!  Lets keep that number growing please! Also, I think 1-4 a free of mistakes and completely done, that ay change but hopefully not!
 Chapters 11 and 12 will definitely be posted this week, maybe even more chapters! I think I will post two chapters every week? That sounds good!
Anyway, I have to go, it's past my bedtime! I will hopefully see Chrissy tomorrow as she got home earlier today (yay! Wait until she sees how much I did!). There will be a better, bigger update soon! Tata for now!
--Miranda :p

Monday's suck :/

Hey guys!
So it's Miranda here with a quick and sad update.
First, the first ten chapters are posted!!! Yay!! You get to meet Nate, Nicole and the rest of the gang, finally!! :D Since we posted them, we have changed minor things (mostly spelling and grammar) and so if a few things don't completely add up, that would be why! Also, don't kill us if things aren't spelled right, we tried our best but there isn't any spell check sadly.
Second, we have changed the group name from oOCMBooksOo to CMStories just because there was already a cmbooks and it was long and hard to remember. I'll try to change it on here too but I don't have a clue if I can do that.
Third, we are currently looking at songs for a playlist! We have three songs for sure (so far) and a couple suggestions. if you have anything you would like to hear please tell us!
Fourth, and last, Chrissy is gone! *sad face times 1,000,000!* I am so upset about this. Chrissy and Katie are leaving tonight for a school trip. I went on this trip last year and I know they will have a good time, but that doesn't mean I wont miss them! However, it will be great for Chrissy to actually see some of the places mentioned from the book and I can't wait to see how she likes it! I plan to spam her phone every night! :D

Anywho! I don't really have much else to say, so I'll just bye for now! I probably won't update in the next little while just because I won't have my Chrissy. And speaking of updating, I just want to say that I think we are doing a great job, we really have kept to our word over the last couple weeks! :D

Tell me what you think of this song too please! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JigFDCd8b9k Chrissy and I both think it's great for the book! (All Rights Reserved) It's called Save You by The Moxy. Hope you enjoy!

Oh! one more thing! Pretty please comment on Wattpad. we would really love to hear some feedback, tell us what you would like to see and what you think will happen.

Picture of Margaree!



Miranda again,
I felt like showing out some of the beauties of Margaree for those you you who have never seen it! There is a little explanation on how it is reflected or used in the book, names a few characters, or things people do so I guess I should say *Spoiler Alert* just in case! Next time I'm there or Chrissy and Katie, I'll make sure to grab some awesome shots and put them up!




 "The Prancing Sheep" from the book is based off this restaurant, near the actual house in Margaree.


 This is where Nicole and Nate go to get groceries, also mentioned later in the book while scavenging for food.



 The famous "Miles to Go" was originally Miles From Nowhere! this is the antiques shop where we meet Kimberly! and Stephen ...



 The river where the group goes to swim! you can even see the rocks where Nate gets cut, however, you cannot see the bridge, or "The sandy spot", or the "stairs" as the are just a little left of the shot. oh well! (took forever to find this!)



Finally, Lake O'law, where the group goes for go carting and other fun stuff, also where the boys take an "unplanned" swim!!

That's a piss off...

Hey guys, Miranda here.
     So I was in the mood to write, I went to finish chapter 59, and it was gone. like half of it, just gone. (I blame Chrissy entirely) So I decided to revise the first ten chapters, and I finished that now. They are ready to be uploaded, however I don't have the watt pad account, Chrissy does, so I have to send them to her.
     Also, Chrissy is going away for a week on Monday *tear tear* so we can't do 60. Under different circumstances, I could just start it and she could finish/revise it when she got back, but since she had a "GENIUS" idea about the last chapter, I need her.
     Anyway, since i'm really bored, I think I shall continue to write for a bit, then go talk to Chrissy as I will miss her and Katie very much in the coming week.
     Bye for now :)

Im a giraffe?

Hey!
There is one this I forgot to do. I wanted to upload the picture below. It was taken on the front steps of the actual house in Margaree! It loos out toward the fence and open field.
-Miranda :p

Both of us (not the Taylor swift song!)

MIRANDA: Herow dere everybody!

    So by some unique miracle, Chrissy and I are BOTH here!! As much we are together! I don't think we have ever had a post by the both of us.
Anywayyyyyy! For those you you who don't know (that would be everybody) there is a song within the first couple chapters written and preformed by Nate, call 'Almost Heartbreak'. Now we had previously wrote this song and were very proud of it, and on a whim we decided to look back on it just moments ago, only to find.... NOTHING *sad-face*
So right now we are re-writing a new and improved Almost Heartbreak. I (Miranda) Am very proud of it and our new chorus has much improved. Also, I am about to start, we'll I already started it a couple weeks ago, chapter 59! This is technically the last chapter as 60 will be a perspective change :)
So the chapters weren't posted as yet yet but in the next two weeks? Maybe, Possibly? (That is a great song too!) 

     Miranda didn't want a picture, so she can have this -Chrissy




*

CHRISSY: Why, thank you Miranda. You make it so easy to continue my cause M.M.M (Making Miranda Mad.)

   Anyway, we are starting to finish Chaos and are pitching ideas for the second book. I haven't asked you yet Miranda, but what about "Petrify"? I thought I was nice... 
   Anyway, another thing I am currently thinking about (With support from Miranda) is making a couple Spin-Off's for Chaos. I think we should do a lot more characters in the same apocalyptic scenario, and hearing about other people's points of view and situations for our (if any) viewers would probably enjoy hearing other things besides Nate and Nicole.

 Also, here's a great picture of me after having finished my chapter:


That's pretty much it. Wait...why are you laughing? That's totally me...

BBBBYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!



Chrissy was first (Sole purpose for this post=Making Miranda Mad *M.M.M*)

I updated first!

    SO, although the first 10 chapters were promised to be uploaded to www.wattpad.com I couldn't do it because of complications with a certain co-author....*cough cough It's your fault cough* and they will be there soon...probably...

   In other news, Chaos is still not done and it's moving at a PAINFULLY slow rate. We still haven't done 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   We're aiming to finish it today but come on, who believes that ;)

Sorry it was short, I wanted to post this before Miranda posted her new blog (it took forever for her to write one) and HA!

-Chrissy (Megatron to my friends)


Here's a monkey...




(P.S. I'm also in the next blog post, thug life yo. M.M.M)
