Mehh. Yesterday was pathetic. I didn't get home until 11:30, stayed up until 1:30 and probably only got 300 words written. *headdesk* Today's not looking much better. I'm going to go jump in bed and write because at least then I can fall asleep. XD
Working on the proposal scene and not enjoying it. I've never proposed before, how am I supposed to know what to say?! Ugh, I can't wait until this part in the plot is over... I need to get them living normally again so I can stop time and add a few silly scenes in for extra word count. XD
Annnnddd yeah. Not looking too good is all I can say. Hope my fellow writer's are doing better than I am!
God Bless!

Bring It
Wow, okay. LOL, I posted this with only the title *whistle* Anyways...
NANOWRIMO HAS BEGUN!!!!!!!!! w00t!
And as of last night, I'm over 7,300 words. *high fives herself* I'm doing pretty well, over 2,000 each day so far. I had a very busy weekend though. *sighs*
I've got my plot moving along pretty well. I introduced 4, possibly 5 of my main charries already (out of 7, so far). Adel has met both Gabe and Caleb now and Renee is waiting at the restaurant for Cody... Ooh! And Brenna finished her drum lesson to find a fainting boy with a big black eye. XD
Trying to straighten all the relationships out. They're messed up already <_<
Yes, I'm writing a little romance. Shoot me.
It's only because it's Nano though. I generally stay away from anything past Peter Pan and Wendy (lol), but for Nano it's kinda necessary. All the twists and sub plots make up about a third of our 50,000 words. =P So, yeah... :/ I am so not good at this either...
Plot dares are much appreciated!! If you don't know what that is, here are some examples I made up (but am not using):
An elephant interrupts a dinner party by smashing into someone's garage.
Have your characters conduct a whip cream fight.
One of your characters only speaks in rhyme.
A pirate shows up in class wearing a clothes hanger.
XD
I like those. ANYONE can come up with one, trust me. Pllleeeaaaasssee comment with a few. There's no guarantee I'll use it, but I love silly ones, so...=P I probably will.
Today is a very busy day, so I probably won't get much written until I come home, which'll be about 8-9-10 I dunno. XD I'm going to two orchastras tonight. O.o
God Bless, and happy Nanoing! :D

20 Minutes?
O.o
I have 20 minutes left to live. Seriously.
I am going TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I'm also going to live to tell you about it.
I'm being all wacky right now, so I apologize for this weird post, but I'm debating over staying up 20 more minutes to start on my NaNo. I don't know how I could not! I did last year, and though the result wasn't my best writing, it's a nice head-start. Tomorrow will not be a good writing day. Homework + cleaning the house + packing for the party. And sleepover. Not good.
Oh well. Sunday shall be fun! More homework and hopefully time for NaNo. Prayer, guys. Lots of prayer.
I wish luck to all my fellow NaNoers!! This'll be super fun and I can't wait to try and do word wars with you all! XD (not sure how I can though, since I'll be doing most of my writing on my no-internet lappy) :(
Happy... trails to you?! XD I'm really out of it right now. so BYE!
God Bless!

Did You Say NaNoWriMo?
WHAT? Nanowrimo's here already! Jeepers, it seems like yesterday I was staying up until 2 am typing away at my lappy. Time flies when you're ... doing school? XD
I believe it does. But it flies better when you have friends. :)
But anyway, I have 3 days left, and only little fragmented pieces of information on my novel. Can you say EEK?!?!?!
I'm not a planner. Especially when it comes to novels. You don't have to plan to be good, but... it would help. SO. Anyone who has any plot dares, I'd love to see them. But I'd better tell you the gist of my novel.
Contemporary fiction. NO MORE historical fiction! That was such a mistake... *headdesk* So this also means no research. YAY!
It's basically about normal teenagers (insert unknown subplot here) who find out they're the only ones who are frozen in time (when time freezes). LOL sorry if this is not making sense... I'm running low on time here. Anyways... time freezes and eventually they get transported into another world through a mirror. XD
So yeah. Go ahead and laugh. But let me tell you this, this novel will be the craziest, most insane novel you've ever seen. I am so not going to try and be serious this year. It's harder for me. =P
And just to let you know, these ideas have been in my head for YEARS and slowly they've been stolen by published authors, so I've had to compromise a bit. Bear with me.
Orchastra in... 10 minutes! *headdddesk* Spanish was cancelled, but mom decided to take me on her errands, so I really didn't gain any time at all.
Must go! God Bless!
