Nanowrimo 2010

Woot woot! Once again, I did a ton of last minute stuff, but that's what makes it fun!

Yellow- I wrote, but didn't meet the "1666 words a day, every day" quota that's needed to reach 50,000.

Red- I didn't write at all.

Green- I met, or exceeded the"1666 words a day, every day" quota.

As you can see, I barely wrote on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Actually, I never wrote on a Wednesday! In conclusion, it's a crazy, stressful challenge, but it's not as crazy of a challenge as it seems! Looking back, it did consume my time, but I was able to do lots of other things too.

Despite the novel schedule, I did manage to write poetry. I'll probably post it later, because I need to submit it for something important soon.

Somehow, I found the time to do this

There's always something to look forward to in life.

Novel Excerpt

Of course, there was no way my emotions could lay undisturbed by the deployment of the forces of reality. One moment, I held everything firmly in my palm. Every tendril of my quiet tempests was pinioned to a foam board and made to look pretty as they spread into an elaborate web. It was as if I was some sequestrated nymph, allowed to create ripples in my quiet pool and toy with the turnkeys of my imagination all I wished. A mortal was bound to stumble upon me and disparage me with his lack of grace and understanding for my privacy. It was all an act of blissful savagery. One stumble, and all my happiness would be instantly nullified by the snatching winds of change.

Yes, it's dramatic, but everything fits once I post the entire story.

National Novel Writing Month profile:

I guess I'm ahead. But then, I'm trying to finish early. Right now I'm at the stage in which I procrastinate by going on the internet way too much.

I'm trying to reach 40000 words by the end of tonight. Wish me luck.

Challenges

In the face of a new challenge, it seems that nothing can pull me down. Gravity holds no meaning in my mind when I'm told what I can and cannot do. My mind knows it strength almost too well. I am taking on a challenge of a lifetime. This is a challenge that defies every egotistical thought I've ever possessed, every ounce of confidence and self-assurance I have ever had to wrangle to pursue the hobby of my dreams and emotions.

This is the thing that shaped me into a new person, and rained upon me like the sweet tears of spring to make me anew. It has been a bittersweet, but more memorable and beautiful entity than anything my mind has discovered within itself. It now must be tested and hounded upon to the very last word. Literally speaking. Every bit of perseverence and all the little blessings that made and will make my heart leap will now be my strength and my determination through something that I've never even come close to perceiving.

In a way, this challenge is a monster. In a way, this challenge is a friend. If I follow through, this challenge may change my life.

I accept it with no fear and no worries. The bull in my mind has been unleashed, not knowing the source behind its anger nor its drive, but knowing only the red flag in the distance and the taunting matador.
