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 :)

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 ...

~Live Long and Prosper~

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'...

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...
