NaNoWriMo

I have decided to do something crazy. Bold, exciting, fun, time-consuming, exhausting...

I am going to write a novel in one month.

Yes, a novel.

50,000 words by midnight on November 30.

That is my goal.

I have no idea if I can do it, but I'm going to try. It'll be tough. I'll be busy. I have school and rehearsal. But still. I want to write a novel, and why not use this as my excuse??

So. Don't expect me to post much in November. You'll be lucky if I post at all. I'm going to write a 50,000 word novel. Ooh, that fills me with excitement!! :D

Journaling

Quick explanation: My friends and I started a little, mini-writing club and I'm kinda, sorta in charge of it. Here's the first thing I sent out

Hey!!! 


"My journal is at the heart of my writing. There I record dreams, memories, funny happenings and wild ideas. Free to play, I write in different directions and colors; I draw, I tape in leaves, notes from kids, boarding passes. From such compost, poems, stories, and even novels grow." - George Ella Lyon

Well, I found this in my lists of writing quotes. And I wondered, do y'all keep journals?? I do, but I'll be honest, I am bad at writing in it. 
I have this blog, which helps me document  my adventures. Another thing is, when I get really passionate about something, I express it in a story. My friend emailed me and said he was really upset, and I told him to either throw pillows against the wall, or go write, haha. And it worked. xD

But how do you guys keep track of your lives? 
Here's the challenge: Write in a journal or diary everyday this week. If you already do write in a journal, then this'll be easy. If you don't, then find a random notebook and write!! :) 

Hey, what kind of genre do y'all prefer to write and/or read? Like, I love fantasy and sci-fi, Madelyn seems to like more classics, etc. (Madelyn, I'm not sure that's right, that's just what I have observed, so correct me if I'm wrong) I'd like to know, because it'll be easier to find/make up freewrite prompts that are easy to write with. 

Reply soon and write lots!! :D

Adios!! :D

Yo.

I was too lazy to think of a cute title. >_> Anyways...

I'm sitting at computer, like I have for the past hour or so. I've been stalking my friend's blog, messing with Pinterest (I got an account x), looking up books, figuring out a calender...

I should REALLY go write. And by write, I mean work on Sparx or one of my SLs. I can't remember if I've explained SLs before. It stands for Storyline, which is the NSA name for a story which two or more people work together on. I'm in three. And I haven't written in them in many a day. :(

A few random things:

I hate Biology. I used to like Science, but Biology... @_@ I'm horrid at it, and it doesn't make sense to me. Molecules and protons and microbes and enzymes... My head starts spinning.

White Collar is my favorite TV show. Holly and I have been going through season one lately. We saw an episode or two in India, and we were in love. Ooh, Neal's cleverness, Peter's smartness, Mozzie's funniness, Elizabeth's general awesomeness... It's epic. I'm really into it and curious about what will happen next.

I intend to write more. A LOT more. I've found some fun pictures for freewrite prompts, and somebody gave wise words to the effect of this: When facing writer's block, keep writing. Press through. Even if you hate it. So!! I will. I will go write. Right now.

Nevermind. I'm going to bed. :P I'll write tomorrow...>_> Hopefully.

Sleepy.

WELL!!! This has been a looooong week. I am exhausted.
Monday was just the longest day I've had in a long time. The last couple weeks have been full of drama, both for me and my friends, and Monday was one of those climax moments. :P
Today we had PLAN test, which are like practice ACT tests. It was not fun. The afternoon was a LOT better. It was my school's Grandparent's Day!! :D Unfortunately, all my grandparents are out of town. The good news is, my aunt and uncle came instead. :D It was a fun day, and it included a little mini-concert that I was a part of, which went smoothly (Thank you, Jesus!!).
Tomorrow is the school's Barn Dance and I am crazy excited!! :D We don't have homecoming until basketball season, which is kinda sad, but we have Barn Dance.
Now I NEED to get some writing done for my friends and SLEEP.
