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 beach of the state park, there was this elderly couple who were walking in front of me, and then sitting not to far away from me, and they were basically the best old couple I'd ever eavesdropped on.
They started off my comparing all the cairns along the beach to fairy houses, which was adorable. Some of them really looked like fairy houses, but I'd never thought of them that way :)
While I was sitting on a rock, working on my sunburn, they continued to discuss the cairns they saw.

Woman: Wow, whoever made this was really ambitiousless.
Man: What? No! Can't you see, they're minimalists, not ambitiousless! Look at this cairn. They made it exactly the way they wanted it too; in their eyes, it is perfection.
Woman:...no, I think they were just lazy.

A little later, they moved on to discussing the hiking trail. Having just been on it, I knew what they were talking about.
Woman: That doesn't look like a trail.
Man: Huh?
Woman: Is that the path we saw on the chart?
Man:... I have no idea what you're talking about.
Woman: What? What are you talking about?
-silence-
Man: There is a trail.
Woman: Yes, but that's not the trail, what you're on can't be the trail on the chart, can it?
Man: What chart?
Woman: Oh, you know, the one we saw.
Man: You mean the map?
-pause-

Anyway. They were cute.

I should stop procrastinating and keep on writing :)

since it's apparently Caturday now, here are a few more cats.

I must go

Heyooo so today I watched my favorite movie! But before we get to that, quick update on movies I've watched since my Superman adventure. #10: Superman II   (same genres as Superman) I was drunk when I rewatched this and fell asleep halfway through, but it still counts. #11: Stardust  Genres: Fantasy, Based off Book, Romance Ok, so I do actually love this movie-- and the book!-- and I considered making the fourth genre Fancy Hair, but decided that was ridiculous #12: The Sting  Genres: Bromance, Shenanigans, Happiness I adore The Sting. Introduced to me by my father, this movie is great. First time I watched it, I thought that the SPOILERPERSON actually SPOILERDIED so that was exciting Movie #13 Star Trek!!!!   Genres: Remake, Bromance, Friendship=Magic Soooooooooooo for whatever reason, this is my favorite movie of all time. I find that fact super perplexing; like.... why???? Why is this movie my favorite??? I hadn'...

wait...what happened to winter?

Not that I'm complaining that winter's almost over. If I had things my way (aka if I could control weather) winter would never extend past March 20th. Snowstorm last week, I'm looking at you. Obviously my goal to write more on this blog went really well. I am a devoted blogger. Uhhhh.... truth be told I'm only starting back up because Camp NaNoWriMo is coming close and I once again feel the need to procrastinate by blogging. I've been throwing around a few ideas for Camp NaNo this April... I've been trying to convince myself that it's time to sit down and write a delightful science fiction planetary romance (or a good ol' fashioned space opera), but so far I'm not dedicated to it. That is, I have no ideas for a planetary romance. Plus, ugh, what if it takes place on this world that has life forms? I know I'd get way too caught up banging out the evolutionary details and no one has time for that during Camp NaNoWriMo. (AKA I am making excuses ...

WINNAAAA

Well, despite all my worries, I've managed to glop my novel together into something essentially cohesive and at 50,015 words, it is gloriously and happily finished! Now I have all kinds of ideas for putting it as the middle book in a trilogy... but I need to take some deep breaths and sit back and plan for a while before I dive back into a new project. As The Wish and the Wolf (as I decided to randomly name it) proved, falling into a novel with no idea of where I'm going isn't exactly a good idea. So, I gained some experience, and now have the longest novel I've ever written under my writing belt. (Although Andrian Adventures is so close and growing!) Andrian Adventures, of course, does not count as a new project, since it's basically been ongoing for the past three years :) While NaNoWriMoing (while avoiding writing) I thought up some fun ideas for AA, and those will have to find their ways into the story. Good news! The cover is almost complete, and soon An...
