Nice!


Going to take a break now to edit a bit, and figure out where my plot is going. Thanks for word-warring with me, Agent Texas!

2. I'm a ballroom dancer, well just a dancer in general.
3. I LOVE MUSIC!!!! Want to share yours? send me a message. <3
4. I'm crazy, like uber crazy, I come up with weird stuff.
5. I love to write, and am obsessed with it. Want to share a story? Feel free. I'm always open for a good story.
6. I love creative people, someone who thinks outside the box.

With this entire NaNo craze, I've completely forgotten about the candy hunt here, so everyone has loads of candy and I have barely any -.-

Same. ^

And for you, Blueberry, I'm going to say this-
'No matter how far behind you are, you can still win. (I believe Errol actually got 50K in the first 24 hours of nano last year)
Obviously thats a bit extreme, but it just proves that it is ALWAYS possible to get to your wordcount.- so basically, don't quit.
Also- read all the pep talks and advice on both of the sites. Very helpful. <3
And no matter how many words you end up getting (Be it 20K or 50K) your still farther along in your novel then you would have been.
(Oh.... and everything you write WILL suck, so don't get hung up on editing. Plenty of time for that in December. ^-^)

Anyway- I have a new strategy to implement for the next three days of no school.
Every hour, I do a 15 minute WW and get 500 words.
So I'll do whatever I need to do for 45 minutes, then write for 15, then do stuff for 45 minutes, then write for 15, etc.
And, since two of these WWs = 1K, I'll be able to get 5K by 6 O'clock.
Of course, that's assuming I get 500 words in 15 minutes EVERY time- but I figure, if I only get 400, or something, I can sacrifice another 5 minutes to bring me to where I should be.

sorry, I wanted to just, like, celebrate a little ^^''
sorry for bragging.

but 8K and 5.5K are good! I'm just super freakish, so I'm like disturbingly ahead of the schedule. ._.
I'm not normal, so I'm not an accurate basis of ... whatever.

XD No, you're fine. I just happen to hate all people with more words than me.
For instance- my sisters English teacher does Nanowrimo, and she has 30K.
I love her, I really do... but I also have excessive wordcount envy.
So no, you were not bragging. I am just behind and hate everyone who isn't....
I love you.... but I hate you due to a nagging jealousy that eats at my soul and makes me write faster.
So thank you for making me write faster. ^-^
SO CELEBRATE ALL YOU WANT!
I'll bring the fireworks!

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time, oh, oh, oh
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just wanna know you better know you better know you better now
I just wanna know you know you know you

'Cause all I know is we said "Hello"
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

All I know is we said "Hello"
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain and everything has changed
All I know is the new found grace
All my days I know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Okay, more celebrating people who are making me write faster by being leagues ahead of me.
ImageImage

So, I hate you all (In the nicest possible way) for being ahead of me.
Because-
Image

But you guys make me jealous, so I start to write like this-

And this-

WHICH IS WHY I'M DETERMINED TO GET CAUGHT UP AND GET 15K BY TONIGHT!

I'm catching up tonight.

I don't care what life says. I will do it. I'm staying over at my friends tomorrow and helping her move rooms, and then going up to the Cancer Research shop to visit and fill in a form so I can volunteer there.

Also, friend has told me that while at hers if I stop writing during writing time for more than 10 minutes she will throw something at me.
