December begins

I have accomplished ~54,000 words total during November, beating the time it took to write that 50k words by 4 hours-> so 7 p.m. instead of 11 p.m.Quite an accomplishment and definitely will go for more words next time and a two win streak. Grats for those who won NaNoWriMo and/or reached their goals. I have two throw-away novels and one to edit now- at least those throw-away novels is what I have a dead-end on. Check out plotwrimo.com for something to do if the novel is complete! There are fun exercises to help out, well a serious writer might take them seriously. *shrugs* Everyone has their own ways of doing things and that's how it should be. Have fun! I will try remembering to make a post around Christmas time, or December 25th. For now Finals is on my list of what to focus on.

Happy Late Thanksgiving!

And I actually finished my NaNo novel too. :o It stopped at 32k words and now I am doing a 2nd novel. I will make it to the 50k- just halfway to 100k. :)

November 15- update

So far I have written 25,000 words. And new toys- err gadgets have become available. I will post them and they should be regularly updated each time I update my word count. Competition is something I love.
Goal is 100k
Percentage I'm on.
I just like this widget. :)

Wish me luck and I hope you are having good luck on yours too. :)

Have a spooky Halloween!

Slow Fade by Casting Crowns fits as powerful music for Halloween to listen too. It is spooky at the same time to the truth of the message.

I will give links to great Halloween posts here since I should focus on handing out candy to trick-o-treaters when the time comes and homework.

The Halloween story
Happy Halloween!
Truth about witches (my favorite)

For some NaNoWriMo has started. For me it won't be for another 7 hours. I can't wait to start! Check out Nathan's post and read all the responses.

No matter what timezone you're in: have fun!

NaNo Kickoff

National Novel Writing Month is in 5 days! I have scanned in some of my sketches today and a birthday photo (August 10th) that is an OK photo. Good websites for using for my novel: creativewritingprompts.com, animal.discovery.com, plants.usda.com, and nationalgeographic.com (favorite magazine).

Tomorrow's Concert

I will be playing at the Civic center 7 p.m. tomorrow where anyon'es free to bring a jackolantern for the stage as well. The Contra-bassoon may look more like a wooden horn  but it produces a nice rich sound. It is twice larger than a normal bassoon and most likely 4-5 feet long. I think this will be one great concert to listen to. :)

October Events

On the 25th I have the Halloween concert at the Civic Center. Then the 31st is Halloween itself. My pumpkin in ceramics class looks pretty sweet. Now just needs glazed and fired. Hopefully the colors don't get muddy.Art Design and Dine is tomorrow of which I hope to attend. I am still prepping for National Novel Writing Month and determined to do it. Maybe, if I am spelling and grammar perfect, it might earn bonus points for my writing class- just a thought but no one is perfect at it.Will post later.
