What is NaNoWriMo, you ask? Well, I shall explain in.......
3.....
2..............
1...........................
NaNoWriMo is the abbreviation for National Novel Writing Month. Despite what the title is, though, it is international. People do it everywhere. It starts November 1st, at 00:00, or 12:00 and ends on December 1st, 00:00 or 12:00 (so, midnight...). Pretty much, if you participate, you write an entire novel in a month. 50,000 words by December, or you don't win. I'm under 18 though, and this is my first year, so i set my own goal XD
I'm trying for 30,000 words. Only 1,000 a day = )
My outline is "zombie apocalypse". My friend's idea =p She loves zombies. More than me, even. =O
Ugh..... I'm stressed. From what I've heard, it's terrible. Like, in this song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TGbIAban14
I'm nervous. Plus, I KNOW I'm going to die of lack of sleep XD

Linda Woolverton
Wow. I NEVER thought I'd say This, but school today was really Enjoyable. Languge Arts, anyway.
Turns out, My friend's aunt is the person Who wrote Alice in Wonderland (the most Recent One), Homeward Bound (you know, That movie they make you watch In elementary school. Unless You're old, then you never Experienced that), The Lion King, and she Helped with Mulan. She writes Books and musicals too, apparently.
So anyway, she Came here From Hollywood (lol never Met someone from there Before =p) to do something or other, but while she Was here, my Classmate/Friend brought her in for Show n Tell (Lol. JK. It was Actually to speak to us about Careers in Writing and stuff.)
I didn't hear some of What she said because I got a fantastic Idea for My book I might have mentioned Yesterday. But I know it Was pretty Interesting. I decided Today while the Guidance Counselor was interrupting my study Hall to tell us about Jobs and Colleges on what I want to do. Ima be A photographer, Writer, and i think designing Album Covers would be interesting. everyone tells me I'm good at Drawing, though I can't imagine why. I think I Suck. I think the Writing was partially due to That LadyPerson.
Oh, and Sorry about the Capitalization. I'm feeling pretty Random today.

Well. Some more things have happened that no one cares about.
I can see thestrals now. = (
I found out I actually have things in common with people I actually know IRL. How weird is that??
This girl I know LOVES MCR, Vampires Everywhere!, Panic! At The Disco, Cobra Starship, and Fall Out Boy. As do I. She also watches AmazingPhil on YouTube. I thought I was the ONLY one around here who does that XD
Plus some girl who, at first glance, appears to be preppy apparently likes the same things I do too. Austen Leathers, Hollywood Undead, MCR, Boys Like Girls, Bullet For My Valentine, Owl City, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sick Puppies, The Ready Ste, PARAMORE, Never SHout Never, Green Day, stuff like that. And my brother's friend has almost the exact same music taste as me. BMTH, August Burns Red, Avenged Sevenfold, Forever the Sickest Kids, Never Shout Never (does anyone else like him less now? I do =p), Austen Leathers, etc, and the only rap she likes is LMFAO. I also like Eloquent, but you know, few rappers are actually good. AND my friend who likes JUSTIN BIEBER of all artists, has decided she likes MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE. I'm sorry, those two don't go together. And I'd talk about the things I have in common with my other friend (a self-proclaimed "scene kid"), but there's too many and I'd go on for hours XD (or rather, chapters. Or paragraphs)
And I don't really have much else to talk about =p
Oh, EXCEPT I got another blog. A music blog = ) http://musicblogliteraltitleiknow.blogspot.com/
I'm going to go write up a post on it.
DFTBA, PLUR, and lessthanthree = )

ohai. been a while, it has.
Well.
We meet again.
I'm back. I know no one reads this but me, but I keep writing up these posts because... I don't know. I guess it's a way to take out my stress on some things. Except I'm not stressed right now. I just feel the need to write something, and I'm too lazy too continue my book (see paragraph 3) because it kind of lost its luster after the first two paragraphs.
Well, a lot of things happened between my last post and now. I became a little nerdier, I think. I've been watching the vlogbrothers a lot (DFTBA) and listening to ALL CAPS and the Ministry of Magic. And I think I've had an effect on my brother. He now listens to the Oceanic Six (I don't because I haven't started LOST yet. I am SO behind!) and I showed him some ALL CAPS songs and he liked them, I think. He thinks wizard rock is weird for some reason, though. He didn't love Harry Potter as much as I do, but he still enjoyed it. I've been listening to a lot of chiptune music too, lately. You know: Anamanaguchi, Henry Homesweet!, ComputeHer, 8 Bit Weapon, etc. I'm not sure why, but I always consider that nerd music too. I guess because it reminds me of video games. The old Nintendo kind, like Pokemon.
Oh, and this is tragic: I lost my Pokemon game! I was JUST about to beat the Elite Four, then my mum let me little sister play my GameBoy, and she lost the game! (just like you did.) DX
And no, I wasn't lying up there in the first paragraph thing. I AM working on a book. If I had to be a nerd about anything educational other than reading, I'd pick history. Actually, I already AM a history nerd. The book I'm working on takes place in the Skara Brae area in, like, ancient times. If you don't know where that is, Google it. Or if your religion doesn't permit you to use Google (wtf kind of religion is that?), look for the asterisk (*, for all you people who didn't know) at the bottom.
Well, I'm actually debating going back and changing it. I read this really good book (Thirst Book 1 by Christopher Pike) and not to plagiarize, but it gave me an idea. Now, it wouldn't be about a vampire who likes to kill people all the time, but I loved how the main character had flashbacks to before she became immortal or to right after, even though most of the book takes place in modern times. I thought it was really well written.
So, maybe I'll do something like that. I don't plan to EVER publish it, though. I just write for fun. Plus, it'd be way too plagiarized DX XD
So what I'm going to do (getting my thoughts down has helped me make up my mind) is make the character remember her past, and things she did, etc. I'm not sure what the modern-day conflict is going to be (in the draft that took place entirely in the past, it was going to be about evacuating Skara Brae because of flooding and storms, maybe having to go down to the Brittania area and trying to live there, maybe getting attacked by Brittanian tribes. I'm not sure. =p)
*Skara Brae- a Neolithic settlement on the west coast of Orkney, Scotland. Europe's most complete Neolithic village (discovered so far). Nicknamed the Scottish Pompeii because it was covered by sands and dirt blown from storms over the nearby ocean, just as Pompeii was flooded with ash. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skara_Brae
