Heeeey Guyyysss

So, I guess it's January now? Where did that come from?
Time moves too fast when you're not in school, let me tell you.

In other, completely unrelated news, for a while there was this one ad on youtube that would play in which some person would say, "I recently got married not too long ago" and every time I heard her say that I flipped tables. In my head. Metaphorical tables.

Well, to catch up on the gossip from two months ago (why am I so bad at blogging???) I DID finish NaNoWriMo, met my word count goal, and came out with a truly awful novel. It's hard for me to say if it's worse than 2012's novel.

On one hand, I actually had a plot this time.
On the other hand, it is a horrible, horrible plot.

None of my characters ended up the way I wanted them to, and I think that it just sort of fell apart and couldn't redeem itself.

Maye I'll rewrite it someday.

Maybe.


In other news, this is me all week. (how can I say 'all week'? It's only Tuesday)
I don't even understand what's going on these days.

nah, more like this.

like a pro

Work is work, cat is a cat, winter is winter, same old same old.

Hmm. Went to Orlando with my sisters two weeks ago, and that was amazing!

Highlight:
omg guys i luv dinosaurs

But seriously. Dinosaurs. Jurassic Park was amazing.
Wizarding World of Harry Potter? Epic. I went all out Hufflepuff. 
Me. The whole trip.


Ummmm yesss. Oh yes, other news!

So, I started reading this book that I'd gotten from the library last night. On the first page, I read that the author was 
1) a college student
2) from Minnesota

I FREAKED OUT.
Like, I don't know what it was, but all of my competitiveness burst out and I was like, "I WILL WRITE A NOVEL AND SHOW HER!"

...I don't even know. hahahaha

But seriously.



 Yeah, it's a made up competition. Whatever.


Oh let's see. That's about it. Now that my competitive nature has been ignited for whatever reason, I guess I'm going to try writing. Something. No plans yet. 


Have a happy January!
Happy 2014, btw :)

Hello...

Um, hi. Long time no see! I was dicking around on the NaNoWriMo website today and realized that I have a link to my blog on it, and I was all, "oh yeah that's right, I have a blog!" *insert derp noises* Ok. My life. November: It DID major snowstorm on the 2nd of November, which was a slap in the face after the beautiful fall we'd been having I did write a science fiction story for NaNoWriMo and it was based off the fairytale that I was going to base it off of, and it turned into a hot hot hot HOT mess because oh yes that's right, I'm terrible at NaNoWriMo. But the main character was named Bix, and there was a computer who was in the body of a human, and an evil mastermind who just kidnapped people for no reason, and at the end a very possible alien invasion! idk. It's on my list of stories to go back and revise, because I do think it has potential, but I sort of lost my control over the story about halfway through the month Thanksgiving was fun...

IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE

I mean, what's two years in the life of an indifferent blogger? Just a blink of the eye. So, kudos to me, it's not NaNoWriMo and I'm updating my blog!!!!! Anyway I thought I'd update the ol' Spete Blog with my newest publication announcement! Two (2) short stories! Both are older (3+ years old) works that I decided on a whim to publish ( read as: I was working on my novel and had fallen into a pit of despair because it's so long and I'm never going to finish the thing and I dismally remembered that I haven't published anything since Andrian Adventures like 10 years ago and what is even the point of keeping all my old stories to myself on my laptop if I'm just going to stare sadly at them day and isn't it much better to publish them and then stare sadly at the 0 Sales report instead ) .  They're fractured fairy tales of the silliest sort. Also, both take place in the kingdom of Atlis. I have done so much world building f...

This is Not a Drill

FRIENDS I DID IT. I MADE A BOOK. Hold onto your pants folks, for coming in mid-April is As the King , a Young Adult Fantasy novel full of sword-fights, wicked uncles, and mistaken identities!   ( it has none of those things, don't listen to me) ~~~ (artwork by the amazing Marion !) This is Elisan, our intrepid heroine. She is unfashionably freckled but please don't hold it against her.  She was shipped off by her family to live with a foreign aunt and uncle at a young age with no explanation why. While traumatizing at the time, she's now decided was for the best, as she is quite content with her life. Elisan enjoys climbing trees, drinking tea, boxing, and dancing. She is not an accomplished artist, thinks she's a better actor than she really is, and  will  fight you if you insult one of her friends. She can currently be found boarding a train back to Verica, having just received a mysterious letter which claims she's th...
