What's this? Another blog post so soon? Yeah, when I said I'd be writing more often, I meant it ( Read more... )

So, I know it's been a while since I wrote a blog post, and I apologise for that. I have no excuse. I'm just really lazy. I'm hoping to get out of this laziness now that I'm going to uni, and have structure in my life. Back when I did nothing, it was really easy to put this off, to say "oh, I'll do it tomorrow". Of course it never happened.

Now ( Read more... )

So, I haven't posted in a while. And my excuse is... well, I don't really have an excuse. I just sort of started feeling depressed and didn't find the motivation and will-power to blog. Social media scares me sometimes. I'm a shy person. I'm an anxious person. I get nervous when I'm in large crowds. I don't answer the phone if I don't know who ( Read more... )

So, inspired by Beth Revis and Stephanie Perkins, the girls at Let the Words Flow decided to do a live blog where EVERYONE gets to participate, and I think that's an awesome idea.  Since it's already tomorrow in my part of the world, I'm starting my live blog now at *checks time* 1:34am.
Yes, I am crazy, why do you ask?

I'll update as I go, so feel ( Read more... )

Howdy folks! Long time no see.
So, what have I been doing since my last post in the beginning of August? Well, I got a puppy. She's a white German Shepherd called Layla, and she's absolutely adorable.

Hello again! I have decided to post every day for the next 2 weeks with stats from what I'd written that day (or the day before, in today's case), with random stuff that pops into my head or whatever. This is supposed to be a journal, after all.

Yesterday, I was running on  about 2 hours sleep, but still managed to write 903 words on my manuscript ( Read more... )

I have an odd relationships with Twisties (I'm not sure if any of you Americans have them, but it sounds like an American thing, so I'll assume you do) (on the off chance you have no idea what they are, they're just cheese flavored puffed... chip... things...).

Anyways, I love them. I really do. They're delicious. They're cheesy. They leave the best ( Read more... )

Posting twice in one day, weird, I know.

As some of you might know, I am in the middle of edits for my '10 NaNo novel (yeah, I know novel is redundant, sort of like PIN number and ATM machine, but I love saying those kind of things because it annoys people). Let me tell you, it has been hellish. I must have read my novel about twelve times already ( Read more... )

Now,  N.L. Mars is just a pen name that I chose years ago to be anonymous. Mostly, I didn't want kids from my school to be involved with my hobby. I was scared that if they were to google my name, then they'd find my blog and make even more fun of me at school. When I was in year 7 or 8, some particularly nasty kids posted stupid, fake crap about ( Read more... )
