As 2008 Swiftly Approaches...
Well, it's already 2008 in Europe. But since I'm not in Europe, I've got a few hours to get a lot of posting done because I have been AWOL for way too long.
So, I won NaNoWriMo 2007. I got my 50,000 words after a whole lot of procrastination and suffering. I spent a lot of the month staring at the keyboard and got so very close to taking out all the keys to clean it because I made such when I sat at the computer eating instead of typing.
The story sucks, though. Well, there isn't really any story to suck or not suck, anyway. I basically skipped the middle since I didn't plan that far in advance because when I do, I always get tired of the story before I even begin writing (yeah, messed up, I know) and, as you can imagine, a story with a beginning of about 47,000 words, no middle, and an ending of 3,000 words probably isn't the greatest. At all.
Anyway, I haven't done any writing since then. At first I really was busy, but then I just got lazy. Recently I've been reading a lot. But not finishing books. I've got over five on the go, I'm sure, but some of them I haven't touched in a few weeks. Which I hate. It's not even that the books are horrible, I just start a new one and forget about it or kinda grow tired of it. I know it's not a crime not to finish reading a few books, but it feels like it to me so hopefully I'll read those within the next week (before I go back to school 8|)
Um, I picked up a new fandom. Yeah, like I need another. Maximum Ride. It's about a girl with wings and her 'flock'. There are some really great, witty (at least to me) lines in there. I will find some for next post.
No big plans for tonight. We're going to watch Hairspray then listen to the radio.
More later.
If not 'til tomorrow, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
