What? I'm doing it AGAIN? (what a nutbar!)

I've decided that in january, I'm doing it all over again.

Yeah, you heard me...

Another novel in 31 days. okay, so there's an extra day....so why not add more words?

55,000.

I can do that, easy. I already know what the novel is going to be about. (fantasy anyone?)

With the success and good feelings that came from this one, i know I can do it again. And January will be a less stressful month than Novemeber was. Being that its at the beginning of a new semester...I have an extra day...I have no friday classes next semester and I want to to this.

january is the perfect month. So, call me crazy, call me weird...i don't care. but I will be posting word counts and going crazy all over again in another month.

I need this month off for a break...(can you believe its been six days since NaNo? I feel like I have nothing to do now....except homework...and studying...and studying...you get the idea.)

Anyway...i think I need to pump out the 15,000 or so words to finish this novel off. Or at least attempt to.

hurm...toodles!

Long Weekend

Truly, one of the longest weekends of my life...leading into the two longest weeks of my life.

It was filled with homework and sleeping and all that jazz. Thank God for Matt and him helping me start to make flashcards for my spanish class. perhaps I will 4.0 that exam now? erm, we'll see.

And tonight I will be spending countless hours in Brody, working on a project that is going to kill me. Its a shame I got stuck with the people I did because yet again, i am forced to do much of the work. egad...

So I am off, even though this is a short entry. I got too little sleep last night, and I have a lesson plan to develop right now...and I need some food...hmmm...food....

Yeah, i won

So, I finished my 50,000 words last night and I am proud of myself. It's an accomplishment I will have for the rest of my life.

it made me a better writer and showed me I could do it if I really put my mind to it.

Looking back, and forward, i know there are many more things i want to do to keep my writing moving forward. Next semester, I have no friday classes. Instead of wasting those days, I want to devote a few hours to writing. I think its do-able. i also want to finish what is in all my files on my computer-the other three novels I have started and never finished.

I think in January, I may set my own challenge and do this all over again, another 50,000 words to start a new novel. Maybe, I haven't decided yet...

Anyway...yeah, thats it. I printed out my certificate last night and downloaded the icons I received. All i can say now is...

yay for me! :)

Picture that as me with a purple binder filled with my novel....

I gave it the name of my blog. it seemed fitting.
