Icon is...freakily appropriate.
Have any of you heard of this movie coming out. No, seriously, just watch the trailer. ...Unless you're a diehard Twilight fan, then you'd probably better not. 8P

Cookies if you can figure out why icon is freakily appropriate!
In other news...I've started on a 30 day fast-track regiment suggested by the Book In a Month (hence, the name), and so far, I've met my 1000 word goal for each of the past two days! ^o^ In addition, I've done some outlining work suggested by them -- I already *have* an outline on the fic I'm writing with this (Tutu AU fic, if curious), but they have this 10 scene card exercise that I think has really solidified the story structure in my head and makes it seem less haphazard! (Basically, write the 10 most important scenes of the story, stating its purpose, the characters involved, the setting, and the mood/tone. It's not that I didn't already know this stuff or that writing down that information was incredibly helpful -- it's actually writing them down on cards, scene by scene, and keeping in mind to keep them to 10, no more no less.)
While I know it'll be a lot harder in the week going back to school, I hope I can still keep at it till the 30 days are up! Cause if I do, I'll have written at least *30,000* words in a month. That's more than I've historically written in a year, folks. Maybe this really the start of it...busting through the heavens with my PEN! 8D Or laptop keys more accurately, but that doesn't have as nice a ring to it. =P
