Designing book covers

I have a new obsession!!! Designing book covers!!!! It's fun, on nano, I asked people to send me challenges, l=so i could test out my (not so great) skills. I've made some, and i really love doing it!! i'll post a few here. (NOTE: i'm not that good,m these are simple with Paint and Word... my Photoshop's not working)

This one is really not good:

Addicted to nanowrimo

I've gotten REALLY addicted to the nano forums, and my parents don't like that too much! But.. ITS SO ADDICTING!!!! I'm going to try to moderate my usage because i don't want to be banned from doing nano this November! I've noticed I'm almost always at the PC nowadays, for example... uh- RIGHT NOW. I haven't done my weekend H.W, school starts tomorrow!!

iPad

I have one, i actually wanted a Kindle. i think the iPod is somewhat better... Its portable!! Ipad is good too, but it didn't serve my main purpose: READING! It does have books, but nothing new, just old books that have expired legal rights...

It is good for gaming though, but it won't replace your laptop!

Orphans

I wish the world would be more fair to them... Compared theirs my troubles seem insignificant, and... I feel so sad for them! i wish i was older, then i'd fund a foster home service... : (

So..so touching....

Remember what I said about the songs i really liked? Well, i missed out quite a few. Whoever you are, wherever you are.... listen to these, they are just so touching and inspiring.... ZAIN BIKHA IS MY FAVE SONGWRITER!!!!

Lyrics to My mom is Amazing:

My Mom Is Amazing lyrics by Zain Bhikha

She wakes up early in the morning with a smile

And she holds my head up high

Don't you ever let anybody put you down

Cos you are my little angel

Then she makes something warm for me to drink

Cos it's cold out there, she thinks

Then she walks me to school,

Yes I aint no fool

I just think my Mom is amazing

BRIDGE/CHORUS

She makes me feel

Like I can do anything

and when she's with me

there's no where else,

I'd rather be,

After School, she's waiting by the gate

I'm so happy that I just can't wait

To get home to tell her how my day went

And eat the yummy food, only my Mom makes

Then I wind her up cos I don't wanna bath

And we run around the house with a laugh

No matter what I say, she gets her way

I think my Mom is amazing

BRIDGE/CHORUS

In the evening, she tucks me into bed

And I wrap my arms around her head

Then she tells me a tale of a girl far away

Who one day became a princess

I'm so happy, I don't want her to leave

So she lies in bed with me

As I close my eyes, how lucky am I

To have a Mom that's so amazing

BRIDGE/CHORUS

Then I wake up in the morning, she's not there

And I realize she never was

And I'm still here in this lonely orphanage

With so many just like me

And as my dreams begin to fade

I try hard to look forward to my day

But there's a pain in my heart that's a craving

How I wish I had a Mom

that's amazing

Would be amazing

Lyrics to orphan child

She was just standing there, little girl all alone
Barely covered head to toe, barely just twelve years old
Why is she all alone, why's the world just so cold
Why don't we play our part what has hardened our hearts?
What has hardened our hearts?

Underneath the waterfall, million dollar shopping mall
Two boys play their games, helps to keep them nice and warm
Thousand people walking by, feeding their vain desire
Don't they see, are they blind, Allah loves the orphan child
Allah loves the orphan child

Like our Beloved Muhammad, Peace be upon Him
He was an orphan and Allah sheltered him
What status is given to these children… children?

Just by the riverside, right next to that orphan child
Families come to play, they don't see that's where she stays
Looking through empty eyes, who cares that she might die
O my child, don't you cry, Allah loves you more than I
Allah Love's you more than I

She was standing there, barely just twelve years old
What has hardened our hearts, why's the world just so cold

~Allah loves the Orphan Child. ~

Failed Attempts and Nanowrimo

Failed Attempts

I've had a lot of failed attempts at blogging before... this time, i plan on keeping this blog alive!!! I've also failed at a lot of stuff, like keeping up with my neopets...opening a siggie shop on nano.... you get the drift!

Nanowrimo

Nanowrimo as in National novel Writing Month. Its great, and helped me and thousands of others write their books... IN A MONTH! November, to be precise.

Nanowrimo isn't national, its international but CB (Chris Baty, founder of Nanowrimo *cheers*) says its "national' because innowrimo doesnt roll of the tongue quite the same, and I agree!

For those below 18: www.ywp.nanowrimo.org and for those over 13 who want to and those over 18, www.nanowrimo.org Check it out OK? PLEASE??
