I wrote a book!

50,000 words? 30 Days? Pssh, that's nothing!
I can now say with pride that I wrote a book! It may not be amazing, it may not make sense, but its got a beginning, a middle, and an end. Sure, it will take some editing. Probably a lot of rewriting. But I wrote it, from scratch, in thirty days.
The experience was pretty amazing. Yes, there were times when I didn't think I could do it. And I did think about quitting a couple of times. I guess part of me wanted to finish to prove to myself that I could. I cant describe the feeling when I wrote those last words, when I crossed the 50,000 mark. I felt like I had just climbed a mountain. And now I'm one step closer to a dream I have had since I was a little kid. To use a word I hate, I'm pretty stoked about the whole experience.
NaNoWriMo is awesome!

Why you shouldnt dig your own eyes out with a rusty spoon.

So today is day 17 of NaNoWriMo, and I'm not loving it right now. I'm about 5000 words behind. Which isn't actually that bad. The bad part is that Ive hit a wall. I'm blanking completely, so much so that I kinda almost wanna call it a day and quit. BUT I'm not going to. I will persevere, I will write at least another 1000 words today. My goal is to hit 40,000 by the time my plane lands Friday night in Calgary. Wish me luck, I think I'm going to need it.
In other news, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows opens Friday!! I'm waaayyy to excited for that. Every time I see  trailer, I get a little more excited, and I think I'm at excitement overload now. Hopefully they don't butcher it like they did with the sixth.

I am slowly going crazy, one two three four five six switch. 2000 words again today. Silly zombie story....

Hello!
Its another wonderful Saturday morning!
So I wrote last week that I was going to put in a short story of mine. Then I found out about NaNoWriMo. So now instead of just posting a short story, I'm writing a novel. Since I decided to do it the day before it started, I have absolutely NO planning or outline to work from. I'm wingin it. I'm already 3000 words behind schedule, and I already want to kill myself. BUT I will keep going, and God damn it I will finish! So my time will be better spent working on that right now.
Wish me luck!
