Wow. I slept like a log all night.

*dances around* I feel so invigorated!

Too bad that's probably going to stop when I try to work on my Physics.

I feel like posting a character profile up on my page. But I have to do this homework. It's due tomorrow and I've been holding it off.

I should probably outline my ending a bit, since I still have only a vague semblance of an idea as to what I'm doing with it.

Hey guys! I'm gonna be doing the NaNo updates post in an hour or so, and so far I only have one wordcount, and mine, and I need some more to make a post! So if you want to be part of the twiftie NaNo report, let me know your wordcount, and maybe how you're finding it/how it's going/any tips.

Cheers!

I'm at 25K too

I just finished outlining my whole novel!

ARGHHHHHH! Lol, I have no idea why I am this excited. Maybe because it finally has a direction.

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS.

I have revised my idea for a second novel involving a prank war at a beach town.

Instead of being between two groups of teens, the war will now be TEENS VS. TOWN...

As in, mindless destruction resulting from boredom - an epic story of teen rebellion for no reason in today's suburban world. In a quaint beach ville.

I am soooo excited. haha. The title is officially "Bad Sun"!

Oh wait! Lol, I cheated. I actually have written 11K in 8 days. The other I was doing before Nano! Through her eyes really started Mid-October.

Peachie- That sounds so awesome! I love the title!

Meta- Yes, a milestone indeed!

Peachie- That sounds awesome! I'd definitely read it.

I posted a character profile on my blog if anyone wants to check it out. Okay, now time to stop procrastinating. Back to doing homework!

Sorry Becky, I'm going to have to wait until next week. I'm not entirely sure what my word count was before my laptop crashed so I have to wait to get the backup before I can get my official count.

*yawns* Mom finally gave up the computer to me and I don't even feel like writing.
