Life update

well, peoples, it's that time again... well, it's always that time, but who really wants to be technical??

the first week of school is pretty much over, and it wasn't that bad... well, it's the beginning, it's never bad at the beginning... i've got a 2 page mini-essay due in a week and a half, then little write-up's for the books i have to read due the next week... then another few essays due in June and July, and exams in August... but i was expecting that

the weather's been nice, warm and sunny... the backyard looks amazing, all new and shiny... maybe not shiny... the new grass is growing like it's on growth hormones, the new plants are starting to get flowers, the little fountain and pond is bubbling away... once i get some pictures i'll put them up here

i've done a little more writing, but it's been slow goings... every once in a while i get a block and i can't think of how to continue, so i just watch a movie or read or whatever then get back to it... i'll update the little chart soon

did you all see my new label cloud thingy?... it's so pretty... i think i might change the colours around a little, and the font, but it's looking pretty good... if you think it's too cluttered, let me know

have a good week-end, peoples

*snore* Hum-what? I'm awake

Geez, things just feel so boring right now, it's an odd feeling... well, maybe it's just the weather, it's annoyingly cold outside, raining, earlier it was snowing... i just don't understand the weather

so i'm here, inside, drinking coffee, at 3:15 in the afternoon on a Saturday... and i really don't have to go out until Monday afternoon... i should probably go through my textbooks, maybe on Monday i will... crud, i just realized i have to read a new book for Wednesday, and write something on it for Friday

well, maybe i should pick up my writing again, i've left that poor NaNoWriMo book sitting in it's Word file for so long, unfinished... maybe i'll write some more today, since i've got nothing to do... well, first i have to do a couple of things, then i'll go back to my book

and i've got to think of a way to get more people to read this darn blog thing i have here... hmmm... maybe have some kind of odd contest... or just turn it into a podcast or something

Day twenty eight: A Winner in Winter

yay me, i won at NaNoWriMo





so, everyone can congratulate me or something





on a different note, it's been freakishly cold here, with a total of 43 centimetres of snow falling from Saturday night to early Monday morning... umm, earth to weather, this is B.C., we're not prepared for any amount of snow that's over a couple centimetres... it's the end of November... where's all the rain we should be getting????... it's been so so so cold here, like, minus 10 degrees C, and it's just horrible... i doubt i'll be driving anywhere until a lot of it melts away


it's looking like it'll be better over the next week, with sun and some rain on the week-end... which'll be fun since i'll be driving home on Sunday night, since i'm housesitting for someone right now... at least it's not that cold inside

Has the world turned boring on me?

ok, ever since i started this, which was like, 2 or 3 days ago (right??), i've been getting bored... probably cause i didn't want to post here every day and sound completely boring... but i don't really care... so, i'll be putting stuff up here every day, or just when i feel like it... just to give you all something to read every day ;)

i've kept going with my second attempt at a book, and i've realized that i'll have to write it, in the order i want to, then go back over it and add more as i think of it, which sounds weird, but i guess that's what authors call revisons, right??... i wrote 3 whole pages the other day, which is more than i've done in 3 months, so i guess i've fixed my writer's block... right now, my problem is just wanting to write everything that's going around in my head, which just gets me to the end quicker... which is just stupid... damn my creative brain :D... o well... and once i'm done the whole thing (praying it's going to be at least 400 pages when i'm done), i'll have to do the most trying thing of all... finding someone who'll publish the darn thing... i'm shooting to be done by my birthday next year, which gives me 14 months to write another 379 pages... which is pretty much a page a day... i think i can pull it off

now for my location update... basically, the weather sucks... it's cold, cloudy, and really windy... and our holly bush is bright red because of the berries... it looks like X-mas out there instead of Hallowe'en... it's still fairly green out there, so it's not all bad

well, i guess that's it for now... hopefully i can write a bit more on the weekend... i'm hoping for at least 10 pages... go me... and extra love to Nancy *hugs*
