Harper Hijacks My Blog

-
Hello. This blog belongs to me now.

Not really, though. I mean, Olivia is going to be back next week.

Anyways, hello humans. My name is Harper. Harper Sigyn Johanssen, in fact. Yes, I am one of those weirdos that has a long last name and weird middle name. It's actually from Norse mythology--I'm named after Loki's wife. By the way, it's pronounced Sig-in. I am 17 years old, single, and ready to mingle. (But if any guy tries to get fresh he gets his throat slit. Not actually, though. I'm not exactly okay with killing people. He'd probably just end up with a black eye and broken nose.)

Lets see... what should you know about me before you go into my story... uh... I'm an orphan. My parents were killed in a car crash when I was ten. I lived, somehow. Yeah, I was in the car. I'm not gonna go into detail... last time I did that I blacked out and ended up beating up my partner.

Don't ask.

Anyways, I'm an orphan, but rather than giving me to a foster family or getting me adopted I've been moved from boarding school to boarding school. No one really wanted me because the first three families I stayed with I outed people for having secret affairs or some stuff like that. After those incidents, no one wanted me to rip the skeletons from their closet and parade them in front of their families.

Oh, also, I am basically a more emotional female Sherlock Holmes. I can look at someone and figure out what they had for breakfast, how much sleep they got, or even what socio-economic level they grew up in as a child. This is how I dragged the skeletons from the closets. Being moved from school to school basically trained me to be the queen of blackmail. This is why the CIA took me to be an agent.

Which led me to Jace. We have an... interesting relationship... to say the least. One day he'll be like "LOOK AT THIS GIRL I TRAINED ISN'T SHE A GENIUS IM SO PROUD" and hold me off the building like Rafiki and Simba. The next day, I'll be pinned to the mat and he'll be like "You're a disgrace to the CIA, you're a disgrace to this school, and a disgrace to me. How do you live with yourself?"

So yeah. We get along for the most part (although I freaking hated him  in the beginning and to be honest I kinda still do).

So yeah. I don't really know what else to put on here. Uh... yeah. Bye!

Oh, and Olivia said that if you have any questions for me or anything just leave them in the comments so I can reply to them.

The Snake and The Wolf

This is a poem that I wrote for two of my characters in my series. They are technically the villains, but I loved them too much to not share this. Originally, I wrote it for my creative writing class, but it will appear in the third book of my series. Upon a rocky ocean cliff, A black wolf was chained That lifted her large black muzzle To drink while it rained On the sandy shores far below Her anguished cries were heard By a troubled, dangerous snake Who her pained cries had stirred He slithered up that steep, sharp cliff Till he wished to fall off But when he made it to the top He saw the black beast cough She was sickly and broken down Her ribs showed through her skin And scars marred that lovely face That was now so very thin She could not fight or run or howl For those who had chained her Had left her defenseless Bound in chains that tore her fur She was not dangerous to him And the little snake saw So he untied the t

Super Secret-But-Not-Really-Cuz-I-Kinda-Already-Mentioned-It-Earlier Special Book Announcement!

Okay, so it wasn't released at 1. I'm just so excited I bumped up the time! I am so excited to announce this, because it's something that's taken up my life that past two or so years. Well, let me fix that wording. I've been working on this 8th rewrite of it for two years. I came up with the original idea back in 2011. I cranked this thing out when I had a dream that turned into my plot (with a few additions and changes, of course), and I instantly went through and kept editing it. Now, on the eleventh draft, I've finally decided that I am going to publish it. Self-publish, that is. *deep breath* *pterodactyl screech* YES FRIENDS, I AM SELF-PUBLISHING MY BOOK. I cannot tell you how excited I am. Now, I know I said I'm looking for an agent, but honestly, none of them wanted it. They said "while this is interesting, I don't think it's right for my agency right now." All I can say is this: I've talked to so many people

Tips for Underwriters

Do you suffer from finishing your book, but only having 160 pages? Do you feel like your book is not as in-depth as it could be? Introducing Editing! This amazing program that will consume your life can be very, very helpful--if you know how to use it properly. So, without further-ado, I give you: Now, I myself am an underwriter. I come up with the idea for my story, write it down in paragraph form, all of it being one big long run-on sentence, and then I write it. I don't plot it out, I don't try and figure out what chapter should have what in it. I just speed right on through, starting and ending chapters where I feel they should start and end. But that can pose questions: Is my book long enough? Do I need to add more in to fill out the story? Did I write it as best as it can be? So, to answer these questions and give a few tips, here we go! Before I delve into the tips, you need to take a step back and look at your manuscript. Does it even need to be
