Designing A Logo

So, I thought I'd do a logo of some sort. I tried it on Sumo Paint. Unfortunately they didn't have the Blogger fonts on there, so I made do with what I had.
So, what do you think? I used a similiar picture I used for my wallpaper in the background, and got to the closest possible color for the lettering by looking at the coding and all. And even though Sumo doesn't have the Blogger fonts, I was pretty happy with these.

And hey, I may have a logo when my book gets published. Who knows? That would be pretty darn cool! I always wanted to have something with "All rights reserved" and stuff like that. Anywho, I'm thinking aloud here. What do you peeps think? Is the color hard to see or something of the other? Hope you like it! :-)

The Illusion Concepts

As the school year comes closer, I thought I'd post more things about my novel. I'm going to be doing cross country and school projects and all, and that's going to sound boring if I post all about that. Only if it was an interesting school day since I'm not expecting much to happen this year. (I hope I'm wrong) And there'll be a Doctor Who episode review or book review here and there as well ;-)

Anyway, I'll be posting once or twice a week, maybe more, about my novel and how it's going. Before you know it it'll be out there and published! :D After tons of editing though. So here's a concept of my novel that I drew:
I'll have to explain some things since this makes sense only to me at the moment. Kyra Lyn Moss is pretty much my pen name if you didn't catch on, and the bird there is supposed to be a phoenix, a symbol for a company Phoenix Co. in my novel. The watch says 'Ultra Silver' and the shuttle below it says 'Phoenix 003'. There's also a sketchbook above the pyramid and a concept of a Reptillian, the main villains in my book above the title The Illusion. And then there's a doodle of Earth and "You can call me Uncle" which is what my main antagonist says.

I may scrap some things since this was from a few months ago, but there's an early concept of it! Tell me what you think peeps :-)

Sneak Peak Number Three

I'll add another teaser for you guys on my novel, just since I'm in the mood ;-) I need to get back onto my writing schedule after being so busy and all. But anyway, here's an excerpt of the villain's bio, Uncle, or Mr. Lacerta. Uncle is not the name of a relative as you expect him to be...

"The Reptilians cowered in fear at the unexpected wrath. It was not like them to be fearful, but the firstborn had so much control anyone would be a coward. He forced the scientists to create more of his kind, and the original Reptilians knew it was time for them to leave. Most of them were killed by the new generation, though some fled in search of other planets. By now, the Reptilians had a bad name because of the newer generation. Nearly everyone forgot about how kind the old ones had been, and after awhile, that they had been kind in the first place. Civilizations stayed out of the Reptilians way as best as they could. They had done nothing wrong so far to other planets, so what could the Galactic Council do? Galaxies would just have to put up with them for now. Many planets suspected they would do something soon. (They did not know they had pretty much murdered the original Reptilians, thinking they had gone evil.) In truth, they were planning something big. Well, the firstborn was. He was no longer himself as he broke the galactic laws. The firstborn did not care for much anymore. No one had treated him the way he wanted to be, so this would be his payback.
The plan was to slowly take over as many galaxies as he could, planet by planet. The catch was it wouldn’t look like he had done it. He and the other Reptilians would be behind the scenes, letting civilizations destroy each other. All he had to do was add in spite and hybrids and he was set. Oh, and let the foolishness of others take over. It seemed to always work.
The Galactic Council did the best they could to stop the sudden madness, banishing them from galaxies and planets, even sometimes universes. They banished them from Earth, but the Reptilians went under their noses and snuck into the newly civilized Earth. The people there worshipped them as gods, like Quetzalcoatl from the Aztecs and Sobek from Egyptian mythology. The poor humans were oblivious to question their gods and technology. This time, the Galactic Council could do nothing but watch, and only able to help the people when they asked. It was painful to do so, but the laws of their culture were binded. Some attempted to intervene, though by then it was a hair too late. Humans were controlled by that time and their busy lives, and they began to live in the illusion of life."

That was just a little bit of Uncle's bio there! If you're hooked, don't worry! My novel should be out sometime this year, and if not, 2015! Ah the wait. Well, I have school and such. It would be done much faster if I didn't. Things to do, however. And like I've been saying, I've been busy, but I will write more often!
