Already Fail...

So, it's already technically day 3, and I'm so far behind on my word count... I can't think of anything to write... Maybe if I sleep tonight, I'll be able to come up with something. Here's hoping.

So it begins...Again...

So, here it is, November 1st, and we have begun the horrors of NaNoWriMo once more. And this year, I SHALL WIN!!!

After an hour of typing, I'm at 582 words. Not bad. Of course, that was just typing up stuff I had written down during work. Stupid work... But, it's full time, and it pays good, so I can't complain too much. Maybe I'll just save up all of my vacation and in a few years, I can take the entire month of November off just for NaNo.

I'm pretty excited about this year. Last year, I didn't finish, but I think that was a very good thing. Because of it, I was able to think up a different ending for it, while taking the original ending, scooting it to 'three years later', and beginning again with a direct sequel. Otherwise, the sequel to last years book would have been like, 100 years in the future, with different main characters and little to no reference to the original story. And I'm really in love with these characters. Especially Jace. He's my favorite. ^_^ He's 9 now! In the story I mean. And he's just so darn adorable! And in this book, he'll finally get to see. Among other things...

Anyways! I also need to worry about people thinking me very sick and twisted... Mairwen is Auberlynn's half sister by their mother. Jace is Auberlynn's half sister by their father. So technically, Mairwen an Jace aren't related. So is it gross of me to have them fall in love? Well, after Jace grows... Then again, who am I kidding... My WoW character, Furu, was in love with her twin brother... Okay, yeah, nevermind... I am very sick and twisted...

Okay, now it's time for dinner, then it's back to writing. Best of luck to everyone this November!

Getting Ready.

So! Here it is, October 28th, and it's nearly November! I'm so effing excited!!! I just can't wait to start writing!

So I was stuck for a little while on which story I wanted to work on this year. I had wanted to work on one revolving around a girl and her Guardian Angel. But when I went and read the story I had written last year, even though I already had a sequel planned, I got the idea for a story to come in between the two. And of course, with like, 3 days left before NaNo, I decided to go with this new idea. I'm a terrible person, I know.

I want to write so bad! I'm repeating myself... And now I have to go paint... Argh! Later!

Epic Fail

So, here we are, back from nearly a year of vanish. Funny how NaNoWriMo can remind you of things. It's nearly the end of September, and I honestly just remembered November was coming up quick. And honestly, I'm really excited. It will be great to be able to vent out again using a good story. Of course, that's if I have a place to write.

In a few weeks, I'm going to be moving out of Massachusetts and back to Upstate New York. It will be nice to get back to my friends and family. But, because my boyfriend's father hates me, I have no where to live right now... Well, not right now, but I mean back in NY. I can't stay with my parents cause my step-dad and little sister are allergic to my cat. And my friend Wolf has offered me a place, but his family is still getting over the loss of their dog that they have had for like, 18 years, so bringing a new animal along with me won't be a good idea... My boyfriend is seeing about being able to take the cat with him, but I'm not getting my hopes up. So now aside from trying to find a job, I have to also try to find a place to live. Not like I wasn't already looking, but, I mean, come on. I can't stay with my parents or Wolf forever. And I'm so used to living with my boyfriend, it's not going to be fun.

Wow, talk about ranting...

So, might as well get back to the point of why I even made this blog. NaNo! I'm tossing around a few ideas right now about what I want to write about come November. I could always break the rules and pick back up something I had been working on in the past, or start something new. Of course, no one likes to break the rules, but, it's not the end of the world. It's not like I intend to count the words I already have written into my word count. That would just be wrong.

I don't want to work on what I had going last year. I've been working on it here and there over the past several months, and I'm losing interest in it again. Maybe I could push on to the book that follows it. But then, I'm not even entirely sure how the first book is going to end, so I don't know how the second will pan out. I've also got a vampire-type idea I've been working on for a while. It's NOTHING like Twilight! *Twitch* Hate............. Anyways! Maybe I'll work on that one. It will be nice to have something to read that can help burn the memories of Twilight out of my head.

Of course, there's no telling if I might come up with something new in a month. We'll see. Right now, it's time for bed. Quarter after one in the morning... Later!

Another Day...

Well, another day has flown by with absolutely no words typed... When I came back from New York, I sat down to play WoW (World of Warcraft) for an hour, and stayed on all night, and all of that fun stuff. My goal right now is to reach level 55, which I am close to, so that once December rolls around and I can finally buy the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack, I will be able to create a Death Knight. My main character, Furuyahitomi (Furu or Tomi for short), is my highest level character, only at 54, and I've been playing the game for nearly 3 years... Kind of sad if you ask me... But, a group of us are planning to run an instance this afternoon, so hopefully I'll be able to get Furu's level up to 55 tonight. That would be wonderful, and it would mean I could DEFINITELY put off playing WoW until December! Of course, that's not likely to happen...

So, Talathieloffered a sort of Word War in a comment to my last blog post, and, I gladly accept! It will help make me focus on my writing, and will give me that extra push to write more words! So, what's say, tomorrow morning, soon as we wake up (Or midnight if we're up at that time tonight) we start the Word War, and go until, umn, 7 or 8 Sunday night, that was we won't be pushing the envelope on not getting enough sleep. How does that sound? And if anyone else reads this, which I doubt, but that's okay, if you want to participate too, that would be awesome! Of course, I'm prolly just talking to myself about anyone else joining in on the Word War, but, hey, a girl can dream!

So, I'm off to go get ready for my instance, and then it's time to sell stuff on ebay to try to get some money for the New England Fan Experience Convention going on over in Cambridge, MA next weekend. Yay for NEFE! Check ya later! Happy Writing!

Too Lazy To Check Her Word Count...

So Far Behind...

So, I'm back to Mass after a 4-day break to visit family and friends back in NY, and I'm behind in my word count like you wouldn't believe... And I feel terrible that I wasn't able to ever get a hold of Talathiel to help her out... But I'm back, and I'm hoping to get right back into the game! So, now I'm off to get back to writing. And, if people need me, my AIM is PegasusDagger, MSN Messenger is Pen3Inch@hotmail.com, and Yahoo is Jeagan7. Happy writing. ^_^

Nerdcore Rising

So, once again I'm a ways behind on my word count. But I'm still not giving up! Actually, I'm rather inspired right now to write, but I wanted to get this Nercore Rising thing out of my head and somewhere where I could look back on it.

So, what is Nerdcore, you may ask? Well, it's more well known as Nerdcore Hip Hop. Yes, that's right. Hip Hop. That means Rap. Rapping about nerdy things. It's awesome! Now, I'll admit, Rap is not one of my favorite kinds of music. And I do not mean to sound racist in this statement, because believe me, I'm in no way racist, but a bunch of black people say words really fast about sex, drugs, violence, and the ocasional 'I miss you'? It's not exactly my cup of tea. But plug in a couple of 30+ year old white guys, turn the lyrics into things like 'Ralph Macchio' (That guy that played Daniel in The Karate Kid), and just totally rock out, that's the sweet nectar of life, baby! Okay, well, maybe not, but it's still pretty flipping awesome! It was my first Nerdcore experience, and I think I might actually really get into the music. Actually, I'm going to contact one of the artists, MC Lars or YT Cracker, and see if I might be able to put a few of his lyrics into my novel. Just a few, like someone could be singing a line or three out loud or something. Good way to boost word count!

So, the artists had been Worm Quartet, YT Cracker, MC Lars, and MC Frontalot. I recomend, even if you don't like rap, to go check them out. Worm Quartet isn't really rap I don't think, but he is flipping hillarious!

Okay, so I had better get back to writing... I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get done this weekend, as I'm going back to New York, again, tomorrow and staying till Tuesday, and will prolly be spending time with friends instead of writing, as I usually only get to see them once a month. Hope everyone else has a wonderful day and keeps up well with their word count!
