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 :)

Superman

This episode has been brought to you by a bottle of Riesling So, movie #8 was Sydney White No need to worry, I brought it Genres: Some Geekery, Amanda Bynes, Fairytale Highlights: Amanda Bynes not crazy all the sneaky geekery references awkwardly based off Snow White Lowlights: They could've made her SUCH a geek her hair. the whole movie. 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. So, this is the story of Kal-El, who was sent to earth as a wee babe because his native home of Krypton was about to BLOW THE HECK UP. He is adopted by a possible Minnesotan (Jonathan Kent, I'm l...

Villains

This morning I was thinking about antagonists in my stories, and realized that I'm actually horrible at creating really solid evil characters. I have plenty who are snotty, or rude, or sort of grumpy, but not any villainous  villains. I think I'll work on creating someone spectacularly wicked for the second part of Andrian Adventures. I'd like to stay away  from the usual fantasy/fairy-tale stereotypes, and since I've already made a wicked wizard for the first part of AA, I guess that's out. Maybe it'll be a recurring antagonist-- should they go from being good to bad? Time to get to work :) In other news, here's a picture of some alien beer. We actually didn't find this in Roswell, but in Las Cruces... in hindsight, I wish I'd tried some. I was flipping through pictures on my phone and was filled with regret :)

NaNoWriMo

It's (almost) November, and you know what that means! It's National Novel Writing Month! This year, I'm all kinds of prepared (although really, how can you ever be prepared to sit down and write a novel in a month?) and this time, I'm going to finish it! What is NaNoWriMo, you ask? This! http://www.nanowrimo.org/ ...have you ever found yourself lying around, wishing you could write a novel? Have you ever contemplated becoming a hermit for a month? Have you ever said to yourself, "why is there nothing interesting in November?" or "How can I escape all of these Christmas commercials?" Look no further. NaNoWriMo is here for you. For those who don't know, the goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days, starting November 1st, and ending the 30th. You can track your progress online, commiserate with fellow writers in your area, and become a recluse for 30 days. It's also a great excuse to drink a lot of coffee (or other caffeinated beve...
