First Day Jitters

I am officially worded out for today, a whopping 2,188 words have made their way onto my document. How those words got there... must have been a miracle! I feel kind of fuzzy right now, maybe I put a little too much force into it... I don't know...

But anyways, as promised, here's my line of the day for y'all.

             Alix nodded happily. He was pleased to be getting this much attention from his eldest cousin. “I live to annoy you.”Quinn shook her head. “No, you live to just annoy. Doesn’t matter who you’re annoying.” 

So... yeah. Right now my plot hasn't revealed much of itself yet, just basically introduced the protagonist and other things like that. I hope this momentum can keep up. I can already feel it starting to take a toll on me... Oh well! Tomorrow is a new day and I have many more things to reveal yet! I am wondering if this is ever going to be completed. I will get to 50,000 words. But will I get to the end of my story? I'm not sure. But we shall see. We shall see.

One Step Closer

Yes, my friends, it has come to the time of NaNo! Well, actually we are a few hours away... which is so exciting! I can feel my brain tingling and my creative energies doing their stretches... It is coming, soon. Soon....

So, let the NaNo festivities begin! Make sure your stash of tea is more than plentiful, your coziest clothes are readily available (for me, it's very warm clothing, like scarves, and PLENTY OF SOCKS), and mmm, what am I forgetting? Oh, that's right, IMAGINATION!

Oh, and a fighting spirit. Accept the possibility of failure, but do not accept failure for yourself. You can give up, but that is not truly a failure. You must try. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

Oh, and also lemme tell you what I will be doing on this blog during NaNo. Every day, or at least every other day, I will post a line of the day. This will, as the title implies, will be a single line I've decided to give you. Along with an update, like if I got new tea or my word count. Anyone know how to get a little wordcounter for a blog here? And on Sundays I will post a excerpt of the week! Hopefully I will be able to keep them up, teehee.

Anyways, I have kept you long enough, dear comrades. Please, get plenty of sleep tonight and don't over think it, just put your hands to the blank canvas and just... write.

Let's Get it Stahted Up in Here!

     To say the very least, I am on the edge of my seat, practically jumping up and down, waiting, wishing, watching. What am I waiting for? You all know what I am waiting for. I am waiting to embark on my third literary quest! Well, actually it is my fifth since I have attempted scriptfrenzy and campnanowrimo. I was so close to succeeding in all four of my attempts, I could taste it. But I am a weak and subjugated fool, and I gave up. I shall never once again give up! Because a wise man once said to give up means to think you aren't good enough. I KNOW I am good enough. Now to prove to myself I am.

     Gaspeth, I have a plot this year! 

     Anyways, I hope all you fellow nanoers (do we even have an official name?) are taking advantage of this time to prep and think about your plots and just overall giving yourself that bout of encouragement you need to get stahted. So I will speak to you soon, hopefully the next time we converse it will be in full swing! Happy brainstorming! 

Woohoo!

Today is a joyful day! A cause for celebration! Spread the good news across the land, from Easter Island to some random village in Russia! The whole world must know!

...Nah I'm just pullin' y'all's leg. Leg? Legs? I don't know, guys. I am officially off my rocker.

Turtle: Officially? You might want to rethink that... 

Shut up me! I don't want to hear what you have to say!

Err, I might have a point, I have been a little crazy for a while...

Turtle: A little crazy?

Okay, okay! A BIG crazy. How's that? Am I satisfied?

Turtle: Not really. You're never satisfied.

True. ANYWAYS. Next month, during NaNo, I will be having surgery. On the bottom of my spine. Can't wait...

Turtle: That's your big news?

You of all people should know! Anyways, so in the middle of the month I will be having surgery. Which is of the utmost convenience to me because I get two weeks to write my novel! In complete tranquility and peace, with nothing to bother me but hot tea and my mom coming into my room and bugging me to take my medicine. Which might make me loopy. Which might cause me to write something that sounds like it came out of a crackhead's mind.

Turtle: And that would be different because...?

BECAUSE I DON'T DO DRUGS.

Turtle: You sure?

...yes. Leave me be, me. All you ever do is make my hands cramp from writing all your foolish remarks!

So I'll keep y'all updated. 16 more days till the quest for literary success begins!

Probably No One Cares

....the title really says all I need to. Why I still linger on this page is a mystery in itself.

/sigh/ Where was I? Oh yes, the dreaded introduction post. /shivers and scrunches up face in a disgusted manner/

Well, for the most part all my blogs are a complete failure, and every single one I begin with, "I am going to try to keep this one up! You'll see!" Pfff. Or I announce, in my best Eeyore impression, "Don't expect me to post. Meh." So I'm not going to jinx it this time, and say nothing! Nothing at all!

/holds breath/ fffff I can't just say nothing. Doh! I guess I did say nothing. Not as hard as I thought it would be.

All shenanigans aside, this blog is started because, well, frankly, I'm tired of failing NaNoWriMo. Every damn year I fail miserably. Can't keep it up, I go insane and I quit. But this year I am going to try my very hardest! Maybe if I have a few followers to encourage me when I feel like quitting, maybe I won't quit, and I'll prevail! But who knows? I might fail, I might not.

In the great words of Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try."

Here's to another November.
