Turning back the pages, and burning them.

I'm being nostalgic again.
Which isn't such a good thing.

At this moment I've decided to rewrite everything that happened the past 2 years. What hasn't happened in the past can't hurt me now, so I'll delete things from my brain to protect me. Only the bad things though. I mean, I wouldn't want to forget that I:

-Wrote 2 novels
-Got into 5 colleges
-Made all my awesome artwork
-My fun times at Interlochen
-et cetera

So... until I can use a time machine to travel back to the past and change things, I will forget that they happened.

Unfortunatly, there are many events that I can't forget. Like half my friends ditching me. If said bad events never happened, I might still be friends with them today. So, all my friends that didn't ditch me... THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Anyway, on a completely different note... I'm learning latin now! It will help me be a contestant on Jeopardy. Look out world, because I can do it!

Je suis finis!

At around 9:30, November 30th, 2007, I wrote a 50,000-word novel! I'm proudly wearing my pin now that says, "Novelist"! Ohhh, I can't wait until I go pick up my cheesecake that I ordered from the band... it's Oreo and I'm salivating just thinking about it... mmmm Oreo... *Homer Simpson gargle/drool*

Anyway, I'm still not done with the plot though. No worries, it was expected. :-P I'll finish it after a bit of rest. I've also decided to write everyday, even though I'm done with NaNo. It's a very good habit to get into. I won't be writing 1,667 words a day, but hey, at least I'll be writing something!

Yes, perhaps I will use this blog to do that, though I know that I will most definitely write things I don't want people to see, like the extra personal stuff I never write here. Why? Because... actually, I can't think of a good reason, other than offending someone just in case they stumble upon a nasty comment that I write.

Anyway, with the writing thing, there are other things I don't want to post here. You know, just in case I do become famous, and have to worry about publishing/copyrighting stuff. Yeah, I've heard that if you post something online, on a website such as FictionPress.com, which I used to use a lot, until sometime last November. What a coincidence!

Oh no!!

I thouhgt that I was going to blog every day this month, but I forgot to post since last monday! Boo hoo... :-(

It's alright, the point is that I'm doing pretty good with the novel, at the moment, I'm at 28264/50000. i got past the halfway point!! It's all downhill from here. Ever since I downloaded a timer/alarm for my computer, it's been easier for me to get more done. Now I can write in specific amounts of time, and this has increased my productivity. i also time my breaks to make sure i don't get distracted doing other things. Well, i have only a minute left of my break for now, and then it's another 20 minutes of writing, writing, writing!!

I have a confession to make...

Today I was working on my novel in my English class, when we were supposed to be writing our papers! XD

I worked on the paper, but then I decided that I had worked on it as much as I possibly could at that specific moment, so I worked on my novel. I didn't get too much done, but at least it was a good something.

Today was a great day, filled with lots of laughter. I said and did things that made me feel stupid, but I don't care! The important thing is that I laughed a lot, which is something I've really needed lately.

I have a new favorite song... "Intermittently" by Barenaked Ladies. I just love this one part where Steven Page just screams with so much anger, and it makes me wanna scream too, without caring what other people think.

I am coming out of my shell.

AHHHHHHHOHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Tomorrow I'm going to scream in my car as loud as I can, when I'm driving to school. I don't care if anyone notices, I just need to SCREAM! Not because I'm sad, or stressed, or frusterated, or angry even... I don't know. The reason why still lies a mystery, which I will find out.)

P.S. I know I'm weird, you have a problem with that, bitch? *slap*

XP

The taste of noveling in the morning is just so delish!

Today was very successful, I wrote 2000 words! I'm going to use Thursday to have a hardcore writing marathon during my double free period. Hopefully, no one will be to distracting as I type, type, type in the A/V lab, especially SOMEONE I know, who loves to chatter and thinks he's soooo important! Arg. I bought a 4-pack of Starbucks Mocha frappucchino bottles, so that will be totally delish, as I can' have myself falling asleep on my laptop as I novel this month.

Tip #4: Try Copying the Styles of Authors You Love!

I had so much homework today that I couldn't work on my novel!! Ahhhh!

I'll catch up tomorrow though, for sho! :-D

Day 3: Aim Low, Hit High

Haven't done too much writing yet today, but I will! I only need 400 more for my daily goal, and then I'll be at 5,000. In the NaNo forums, I've gotten some help to figure out the background of my plot. I had some holes in that, but now I know pretty much what happens before the real story begins!

I'm reading the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, and there's a puzzle in it that a need to solve!! On pages 269-271, the pages are filled with just numbers, but it's the character using the numbers to try and say a message. Since numbers 2-9 on a phone have 3-4 letters on each of the buttons, I decided to try and decipher all two and a half pages of the numbers! It's like an extremely and incredibly difficult Myst puzzle.

It's not easy. I've tried googling this little puzzle to see if I could find someone who had already solved it, but no luck. I found someone who had translated the first sentence of it, but that was it. So, I've decided to be the first person to solve it and post the answer! I'll probably post it here when/if I get it right. Any help would be appreciated!

Anyway, I found a site where you can make a cool action character, so I made my main character, Katherine. Her face looks so white because I couldn't figure out how to put color in it at the time, hehe. The Katherine in my novel is probably younger than this picture, but this was the smallest/youngest body type the site had.

I'm a walking ad-vert-is-ment, for everything I never meant.

Oh. My. God.

I just ate the most delicious caramel in the world!!

I swear, it was like an orgasm in my mouth.

Anyway, so my day was pretty good. I'm super psyched for NaNoWriMo... just 8 more days!! I haven't been doing too much planning on my novel, but I think that's okay. It's probably better to have a vague outline than a detailed plot summary, because it won't give you much room to add in weird new plot twists. I think one of the most fun parts of NaNoWriMo is coming up with plot summaries that don't make sense. For example: In my novel last year, I had these two men chasing my protagonist all over the world, but I had no idea why. So, in the end, I decided that it was because she had something very expensive, and the only exspensive thing I could come up with at the time was a diamond encrusted cell phone...

I really need to edit that part out and think of something new! That is, if i ever get around to editing it. It's no where near publisher worthy, especially since I expanded every single contraction in it to build up my word count. I'll get around to fixing that.

Speaking of procrastination, I found a cool quote today: "Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday." -Don Marquis

Haha, so true.

I decided something today, I'm not going to keep trying to get better at things that are way too competitive, and I'm not really good at. I've tried out for a lot of theater productions at school, but I'm just not as good as some of the other people who always get in. I'm going to keep writing and doing artwork, because I keep neglecting top develop those skills, and I could probably be a lot better at them if I just tried more.

I love writing, I don't know why I didn't discover this sooner! It's weird how I don't talk much vocally, but on paper I can do all kinds of things with words.

I'm going to bed, before I come up with another clever way to get myself killed, or worse... expelled! But before I do, quizzes are fun. Here's a quiz I took:

You are a Serious Date

Your dating philosophy? "Dating is for finding a compatible partner" You're not so concerned with how you date... As much as where the relationship ends up. Guys to look for: Men who write a good bit about what they're looking for. Not only does it show that they are serious about dating as well - But that they've already put a good deal of thought in to it.

What Kind of Dating Diva Are You?

WRITE A NOVEL!!!!!!!!!!!

Click here for the best experience of your life!

Doooooooooooomed...

Yay, it's Tuesday again! Tuesday is such a dull day, just like November is a dull month... if you don't participate in National Novel Writing Month! If only I could write a novel once a week on Tuesdays... now that's an idea. See THIS SITE for more details!

Today in school I learned about how the human race is doomed. I also learned that the Mayan calendar predicted that the world would end in the year 2012. Then I had an idea to fly off and risk my life to save the rain forest, because it might somehow save the human race in the long run. then I found out that people already have died trying to protect the rain forest, and they still won't stop destroying it just because it makes good money.

I feel so insignificant sometimes.
