Stress

Well, it's officially December!!
And Tech Week for the musical has begun, and finals are next week, auditions for Fiddler on the Roof are tomorrow, and I'm starting to get stressed. I feel like I've taken on a ton, but I don't want to give any of it up. :P
Oh, and I failed at NaNoWriMo. I think I have 13,350 ish words. Haha, it was really fun though. I would sit here and write more, (I'm in the mood to) but I need sleep. :P
So farewell for now!

Holidays!! :D

Mac playing with the Nutcracker
Super Christmas Daisy
Yesterday, Holly, Lillian and I went to Grandma's house and "decorated". Yeah... It was more like: Sing Christmas music at the top of our lungs, eat, watch TV, read Harry Potter, plan our Christmas skit, help a little, be really goofy. When we left it pretty much looked like Christmas had thrown up in their living room. >_> In our defense, they don't have a tree yet, so there isn't anywhere for us to put the ornaments. Our house, however, is decorated. :D And it makes me very happy.

For Thanksgiving, we went to my cousin's house, and ate food. And played card games, laser tag and bounty hunter. We learned that the tree house is the best place for laser tag because it is an easily defended point and you can shoot your opponents easily. Plus, if they don't know you're there, you have the element of surprise. >:D

We also learned that Lillian and I are an awesome team for the card game of Pounce. We won about  50% of the time. ;)

On Wednesday, we went bowling. That was fun. I failed epically the first round, but the second I got third place. I was very proud of myself. We got the fun lanes with black lights and music videos. They were weird videos, though. So Lillian and I went up and asked if they could play Taylor Swift and One Direction. They did. We got to dance around and we sang every single word. xD

What else have I done this week??

Last night I finally wrote a letter which I have been procrastinating for no reason. I seriously love writing letters, but I am freaking lazy. >_> Fail, me. I really like writing letters, but I only have one correspondent.

Oh! And I've been writing in my story. I currently have 41 pages. :D I'm very proud of those 41 pages. It's a lot of fun to write this story. I love it. :D One of my favorite parts is that one of the main characters, Jeremy, is a writer, so I can work some of my short stories and freewrites into it. Mwahahahaha. >:D
Linus being silly

I'm soooo excited for Christmas. I'm hoping for a trampoline and Amazon/Barnes and Noble giftcards. For BOOKS!! I have a list of books to read. It's rather long. :P

Speaking of trampolines... Guess who landed a flip on one of those the other day?? That's right, Addison Grace Herndon. Boo-yah. :D I am immensely proud of that feat. 
Our Christmas Tree


The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
And I must depart. Adios y'all. :D 

Never alone.

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
