......I just watched part one of End of Time for the first time. Which is why I missed you guys. ...but I...don't even know what to do now. I can't stay up to watch part two, but I don't know if I can wait until tomorrow to watch it.

Hey Lisa! How are you?

Hummm the other night i had a really weird dream... that really weird dream sparked a story (one outside my series) that is showing a lot of promise as i developed it unexpectedly over the last two days. If i have time to do Nano i think i'll write this story.

Besides being sick and having to do a lot of homework, I'm okay.

It snowed yesterday. I was hoping for a blizzard so I wouldn't have to go to school tomorrow, but...all the snow melted. :/

Thanks amlptj!

What's everyone doing for Halloween? Since it's on a school night my mom and I are celebrating today by watching old dracula and frankenstein movies, eating loads of cookies and candy, and just hanging out.

I've never been trick or treating or to a costume party...and I've never carved a pumpkin so Halloween really is just another day for me.

That is kind of cool, actually. I set up a similar spreadsheet and graph in Excel.

The Stats page is a tab under Edit Novel Info, for anyone who hasn't seen it. You have to create your novel first.
