NaNoWriMo and More

Post by a slightly overly hyper Isabella-


I'm sure everyone around me knows by now what NaNoWriMo is so I won't go into details trying to explain it. But I have come up with a new story idea for this year...kind of. It's an old concept kind of revamped and it's also something that is kind of (read greatly) influenced by my personal history. Not too sure how I feel about that.



Anyway, here is the plot synopsis I've come up with: A college student in Middle of Nowhere, USA begins struggling in classes, friendships, and life when her world comes crashing down around her.



I know it's not the most imaginative thing out there but the writing bug just kind of hit me earlier. Plus, it's NaNoWriMo, it's not supposed to be perfect. I've also created a calendar, but I don't have Photoshop on any of the school computers so I can't make it right now, but here are a few highlights from the calendar: November 3, Fingers hurting? Be sure to stretch them inbetween silly character banter.; November 6, Your inner critic may be nagging. Kill him.; November 11, Challenge: Include the word "salty."; November 19, Dear diary, all sense of plot is gone and Neville Longbottom made a cameo.; November 25, Everybody loves a penguin or twelve, why don't you add some to your novel?; November 29, Pull out everything you got for the last two days. Throw in a plot twist if you need it. Etcetera. It's a cute calendar...If I could ever get to Photoshop to make it.



On another note: I've read well over 1,000 pages in the past week. I finished three books. Two from roughly the middle and one from beginning to end. I also started reading another, but I was so depressed/sleepy from the midnight showing of HP that I have spent the past two days watching Gilmore Girls and sleeping. Actually, I've also been preparing stuff for my graduate school applications and my capstone project. So, I've been productive, just not as productive as I have wanted to be.

Okay, done ranting. My roommate is off work for dinner and wants to hang out so I am going to leave this right here.

Also, I have no idea what's going on with the background, font and font color. So, don't ask me. Evil technology...
