July Camp

It'd be great if I could be at real camp, but I'm trying out July Camp NaNoWriMo. After my spectacular failure at April's session, this time I've actually "planned" a novel, and even if I don't hit my word goal, hope to write at least once a day.

I won't be writing Andrian Adventures... People (you know, the three people who've read AA) always ask if I'm still writing it. I'm all:

I can water my wii with orange juice if I want to!

Um so yeah. Anyway.

I struggled for a while trying to decide if I wanted to write a fantasy or sci-fi, and determined that really all I wanted to do was write a horrible post-apocolyptic dystopia, so that's what I'm doing. I struggled for a while about how many main characters I wanted; settled on three, and then decided that since I am not the best at writing third-person POV fantasy, I was going to make it 1st person POV for all three characters.... this is going to be one helluva magical trainwreck :) As I was planning all of this last night, I determined that the story would end at a lake. (?!?!? Like, what?!) No worries. I've totally got this.
Also, my Number 1 Rule is no werewolves... so I am absolutely not allowed to put in any werewolves. Not one. Not even a mention of one.





I'm ready to go! I set the goal for 25,000 words (it's summer, I can slack if I want to). Time to get writing! :)

There is something off about it. I mean, this movie is ok. Also, why is Amanda Bynes a genre? Mysterious. I sort of zoned out while watching this and read webcomics instead. Still, it's cute. anyway, onto tonight's main attraction (attractive man whaaaaat) SUPERMAN   Genres: Superhero, Action, Fangirl ...does the Fangirl genre count if I'm the only fangirl? yes.

Day Six

... Yes. It is Day 6. For a second, I thought that maybe it was actually Day 7 and I was an idiot, but no, we're good. Might still be an idiot, though. Well, Camp NaNoWriMo is going, if nothing else! I was amazingly (but unsurprisingly) unproductive on the 4th, wrote about 900 words yesterday, and am still getting up to my word-count-goal for today. Happy Caturday. Here's a cat. The Fool and the Rock In other news, I took a hike today at a state park and then drove to Bangor and learned some things! 1) Mainers really like cairns.  2) Maine is freaking beautiful??? 3) Maine is basically the exact same as the northwoods of Minnesota and Wisconsin except with the ocean, mini-mountains, an obsession with lobster and even weirder accents. 4)  Ever since working retail for a year and a half, I've become increasingly more awkward when I talk to sales associates at stores. Not sure why. Hahahaha 5) Yup, that's about it. Anyway, while I was sitting on the ...
