Long time, no type

Cripes, it's been a while since i wrote something here... i guess i should update this darn thing more often or something

first thing's first... my birthday was on the 26th, and i don't feel any older than i did before the 26th, which is a little strange, but o well... maybe in 10 years i'll feel old :D

Christmas was good, a little lonely considering it was only the four of us this year... last year it was five plus our dog, but with my grandmother's passing in June and the putting down of our dog in July, it was only the four of us with no one eating the wrapping paper... but it was still good... i'm still wondering why my sister and i got a bleach pen form my mom, but my mom's nuts

NaNoWriMo was in November, but i'm rushing to finish the damned thing so i can get it published on Lulu.com so they can send me a free printed copy... and once it's up on Lulu.com, everyone who wants a copy of the darn thing will be able to get it... well, they might have to pay something for actually printing the book if they want a paper copy, that just a little annoying... i'm up to 73,000 words and 287 pages, and i have two and a half chapters more planned out, plus an epilogue

i'll be lucky if i finish before my classes start on Tuesday... i have to finish by the 16th, which is about 9 days away, but i want to finish before that

Well, happy late new year to everyone, and maybe in April i'll start book number two, because i've enjoyed writing this book, even last night when i wanted to cry

New development on the writing front

i found a link on the NaNoWriMo site to Lulu.com, and since they love the NaNoWriMo writers, from today to January 16th, they'll publish your novel for free

OMG!!!!

this just makes me want to finish it by the 31st even more

Nancy, do this!!

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

Day twenty: Celebration Time

woot woot!!
yay me! yay me!
*doing a happy dance*

i just got to 50,000 words, well, a little more, but it means i actually did it and wrote my butt off for the past 20 days

i think i'll be celebrating for the rest of the day by writing more

Day sixteen: Recovering from hell

O-M-freaking-G

i finally have access to the Internet, because the power was out from about 2:40 yesterday afternoon to 3:45 this morning... 13 hours with no power... it was SO annoying!!!! and SO COLD!!!!

i got no writing done, couldn't read any of my e-mails, and didn't really get a whole lot of sleep, so when i woke up this morning i wasn't really in a good mood

o well

hopefully i can get a whole lot more writing done today, and recover some more from yesterday
