we're remodeling.

The creators of Snobby Writing Blogge (read: me) have a lot to explain. For one thing, we (I'm just gonna go ahead and speak with the "royal we" here to make it seem like someone other than just me is at fault) haven't posted anything in roughly a lot of months. Admittedly, it is because we moved to California and got a job... still, that's a pretty lame excuse.

Also, we have gone through our latest posts and have decided that this isn't really the direction we want Snobby Writing Blogge to go.

This said, we're planning an awesome revamp and remodel of the site and if all goes well (heck, even if all doesn't go well) we'll be launching everything anew January 1rst of the new year. So, well, yeah.

Rock on, guys.

Reading List: Today

The Penderwicks Series by Jeanne Birdsall 
The family in these books always makes me laugh so much. They all have fantastic personalities, and the author has such a quirky and amusing style that really makes each book fun to read over and over again.

A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken 
I haven't read this one yet, but it became assigned reading when I moved into the boarding house. Every single person in the house has now walked up to me and said, "Oh yeah, that is suuuuuch a good book. I cried." Even the male boarding students have told me this.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan 
Pretty sure I had this book memorized at one point in my life, but I haven't thought about it in eons. It's still pretty funny.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling 
I definitely had this book memorized at one point in my life, but I recently remembered a few odd details about it (for example, the spiders in Harry's cupboard) and decided to re-read it. I remember that when I read it for the first time at age thirteen or so I was surprised because it was obvious from the writing that it was meant for children younger than myself. I was surprised again. Great book.

Cross Creek by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
This was given to me as a "don't forget Florida" gift from a person at church when I moved. I've only read a few of the stories so far, but I like the way it feels almost like one of my own world building experiments-- piece by piece, Rawlings shows how it was like to live in Cross Creek. Pretty cool.

forgot to mention:

I was recently interviewed by Ella Douglas over at her writing blog, Nevermore November. You can read it over at THIS LINK, yeeeeaaah!

My siblings talk about my character:

First, an introduction by my magnificent sister, Codename: Maneater.

Who the (awesome!!) character is:
Orwell Barns-Myeong

Why you chose character:
Because Orwell is awesome and cute (duh!) and I'm going to steal him away from Chloe.

First off, what does this character look like?
I think Orwell is really cute with his ridiculous chubby cheeks and hilarious whiny face. He is always being called Chipmunk face by his sister Elliot (who I love!) which I think suits him perfectly. *squishes his chubby cheeks*

Eh, here's a picture I (Chloe) drew of him. This is also my computer background. I digress.

Does this character have any family?
His Dad was murdered by a bajillion murderers (not really just two) and I can't for the life of me figure out who they are because my sister is a genius who so happened to plan this out sitting on her bed.

They live in a tiny house (apartment thing?) that their Dad bought and they have a family dog named Iggy (which is short for Italian Grey hound or whatever) and another dog who I can't remember.

Tell me about their personality.
Orwell is a whiny-butt and a A+ student who works really hard and studies a lot. I think he cries a lot but he didn't cry at his father's funeral.  (oh my gosh he is totally the murderer!)


Now, here's a list of important stuff Maneater thinks you should know about Orwell:

• he has glasses
• black hair 
• chubby cheeks
• always A+
• likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
• his dad was killed
• two other kids in the family
• his sister calls him chipmunk face

And here's a list of stuff my other sister (Codename: Naveik) thinks is important:

• doesn’t like hamsters
• has brown eyes
• studies hard for school
• not the brightest kid
• is babied a lot
• doesn’t like rice-krispies (too sugary)
• prefers cold weather
• bites his nails
• always forgets to clip toenails
• has smallish feet
• is forced to go to book club (currently reading Little Men)
• has a Oscar the Grouch mug
• tends to roll his eyes a lot
• usually wakes up first
• has a hard time remembering faces (but is pretty okay with names)
• listens mostly to classical music by the “big peeps”
• also likes Elvis
• has a babyface
• was born in a hospital
• he broke his collar-bone when he was six
• has had the same hairstyle since he was three
• is very OCD when it comes to organizing books, movies, etc.
• doesn’t like heights
• always washes his dishes after meals
• is the age of twelve

stuff chloe likes: stand still, stay silent

 Today I am talking about: Stand Still, Stay Silent by Minna Sundberg

Admission time: The first time I laid eyes on Ms Sundberg's (practice???) comic "A Redtail's Dream", I got through like the first six pages and then thought, "meh, nothing special" and left.

this is a totally random page out of her (practice?!) comic.

Yeah, I know. I'm an insane and tasteless wonder of a human being. Anyways, now Minna Sundberg is working on a new comic that is shaping up to be more my speed than the first-- yes, that does in fact mean that it is post-apocalyptic. Sigh. I know what I like, and I know it's totally mainstream.

This comic is totally not mainstream work, though! As in her first comic, Sundberg sets her characters in the countries she is familiar with-- all the Nordic countries no spoiled Americans know about, Sweden and Finland (so far, with visits to Denmark and Iceland looming on the horizon), and she incorporates all the Nordic mythology that no spoiled Americans are familiar with.

(By the way, by "spoiled Americans" I mean me.)

Let's count what I love about this comic:

1. THE ARTTTT.

The art in this comic is exceedingly well done. The style of the lineart and colors and text all works together beautifully to create a stunning atmosphere for the storytelling.

Wow, so pretty. I'm going to learn how to do stuff like this one day.

2. THE CHARACTERS.

Just as a warning: don't get attached to the prologue characters. Since I didn't read the author's notes or comments section when I first found the comic, I didn't get them memo that the prologue characters were temporary and ended up becoming very, very attached. (Then again, when have I ever not become attached to a character?)

All of Sundberg's characters are delightfully larger-than life, and every page another facet of their personalities are explored, which really fleshes them out beautifully. What's more, the art (yes, I'm just gonna keep gushing about the art) really does its job at showing each character's unique body language and expression set, a quality I really appreciate in a comic.

(Emil Vasterstrom is my favorite, just so you know.)

Ah yes, Michael and Signe, my two favorite prologue characters. I love you and will never forget you, Michael and Signe.

3. THE WRITING.

Not gonna chatter about this that much, but let me just say that writing is just as important in comics as in any novel, and this comic nails it.

I love this page because the hypochondriac looks exactly like Lucky from my own comic... ha...

4. THE UPDATE SCHEDULE.

Most comics make you wait a week between updates. (Which is fine. I mean, artists have to eat, too.) But this comic? This comic is beyond fine. This comic is like the comic to end all comics. This comic updates Monday-Friday.

That's right, folks. It updates every weekday.

Look how paint-y and cool all this looks. I really like well done digital art.

5. THE COMMENT SECTION.

I begin every day Monday through Friday by reading through the comments section. I love the commenters on this comic-- they're creative, funny, and have wonderful theories about the characters, world building, plot, etc. They always point out a lot of stuff I don't notice about the comic, and are filled with cool facts about Nordic stuff that I, as a spoiled American, am not familiar with.

Not sure what to say about this page, but ok.

IN CONCLUSION:

I don't know, guys, this is just a really good comic. I highly recommend that you read it and then fangirl with me. You can read it HERE.

also in conclusion: Sundberg can draw some really creepy yet pretty stuff.
