hi-ho peoples... well, it looks like it's Hallowe'en... ooooo, fun... i don't think i've been out on this night since i was 12... weird... and it looks like i've got door duty again... just because my sister still has midterms... o well... and it's her birthday tomorrow... *rolling eyes* o well, again... i might not be around so much tomorrow... crap
well, that's for two reasons... one, tomorrow's the start of NaNoWriMo... when you write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days... *rubbing hands together in an evil way*... it's going to be soooo much fun... the second reason is because my dad's working from home tomorrow... so i'm going to be annoyed all day into doing things around the house... i might as well just lock myself in my room tomorrow so i can get some writing done
and because of this writing thing, it basically means that i can't work on my novel for the next month... damn... well, it'll be there in December, right??
so, today's pretty much devoted, for the most part, to planning out my contest novel and writing as much of my novel as i can before tomorrow... i guess i can always go back to it if i get stuck or something... i expect everyone out there to do this, or at least some people... if you've signed up at NaNoWriMo.org, then good for you and tell me your ID, and i'll add you to my list... the more the merrier, right??
now, i know what you're thinking... 50,000 words in 30 days? you're nuts... well, 2 pages, double spaced, is about 500 words... so if you do the math, *doing the math in my head* it's about 200 pages, more or less... you can get 50,000 words in 30 days if you average about 1,700 a day, which is about 7 pages... now, that's really not that bad... and in this contest thing, you're a winner if you actually get to 50,000 words or more
go to the website, check out the rules, and if you think it'll get your writing juices flowing, then by all means, go ahead and sign up... i promise it'll be fun ;)
