7th Day[/i][/u]
Yay, I'm getting good at this! =D (Giving up more important things to get my NaNo word count done ... It's a breeze. XD) It's so much fun but I know that there's things I should be doing. Like that Food Tech project, that Geography project, studying for my Maths test, my Science test, my dreaded English essay--but writing holds so much more allure!
In news of the writing, it's been fantastic. NaNo's a great excuse to write your heart out, and you always have the excuse of, "I can't let my quota down! D="
*snuggles*,

9th Day[/i][/u] Eeeee, direct quote from my NaNo (signature).  Excitement! NaNo's been going great ... if hard to pump out that many words daily what with my yearlies. I've been staying up later and that's not great for me, but I feel great about the number of words I'm writing. ^^ I need to manage my time better. I love this story, I really do. I'm losing a little steam, but that's okay. I just find the characters really relateable, and I'm putting a lot of myself into here. I'll never lots of editing later, though, but whatever. XD It's fun while it lasts. :3 *writing*, Bre <3

I've made a decision. I can't finish NaNo this year---but that's okay. I've got way too many tests at the moment and it's thrown me back, I'll be going on a holiday where I won't get to write much, and it's too stressful trying to squeeze in 1.6K everyday, along with studying for hours. I need time to relax and rest and get my bearings. I'm still going to be writing, still going to keep track of how many words, post on here, be involved, do my best to write that 1.6K (when my tests are over) but right now, at this moment, I can't do it. I might do JaNoWriMo, though, because January will be a lot less busy month than this one.  #slightlystressed, Bre <3 |

Aw, Bre, I'm sorry you had to back out of the full 50K. If it makes you feel any better, all of my friends who participated last year had to either drop out, or accept they couldn't get to 50K. Tw of my friends stuck it out to smaller goals - one reached 25K, the other 40K, and you know what? That's still pretty gosh darn impressive.
You're almost at 10,000 words right now, and y'know, that's more of a novel than most people write in a lifetime. <3 I hope JaNo goes even better for you, if you decide to partake in it.

Thank you, Tigey darling, you've made me feel so much better about what I've done. I'm at 12K now (haven't been bothered to update my word counts XD) and I think that I'll be lucky to reach 25K by December ... but hopefully I'll write more. Love you, Tigey, you've been a huge support---sorry it took so long to get back to you! D: <3 |

Day 16[/i][/u] Okay so I haven’t written today … but I wrote 500 words yesterday. I finished my last project today, so I should be able to write a fair bit more as of tomorrow and I hope that I can get caught up somewhat. I mean, I know I won’t make the 50K (as previously established) but I will get somewhere. I haven’t had much time to be posting here recently but tomorrow, I will. Tomorrow will be my catch-up day. I will write, reply and exercise! Sounds like some kind of catch-phrase (reduce, reuse, recyle, anyone? ^__^ No?). I’ve been really good in all other areas of my life, though, so it’s not weighing down on my too heavily. Life’s good! Life’s great! Only two more full days before I get to see my sisters again!! :3 That’s going to be a lot of fun. Best of luck to all of you other successful NaNoers, I hope that you achieve all of your goals! ^^ #happiness! Bre <3

Day 23[/i][/u] Yeah, so we all knew that Bre wouldn't make it, and to be honest, it doesn't really bother me a whole lot … I mean, what I've done--I've done. Those are words that I will never write again and that's something to be proud of. I've done something that no one else ever will, and that I will never do again. I may rewrite those words, change them, erase them, but I can never undo the act of writing them. I've made history! A bit dramatic, right? XD Well, anyway, in more normal terms, I've written very little compared to others, but I'm still proud of what I've done. Even though I'm away from home and all of my notes and outlines, etc., I've still got some work done--and accomplishment considering how little time I actually have to work, I assure you.  The story's still flowing, no matter how infrequently. Every time I sit down to write, it feels good and I'm never at a loss of what to write about. There's so many avenues that this story could go down. I think that it's headed more for a fantasy slice-of-life story but with a bit of a twist. It's all about relationships and how they develop with people over time, how they change and adapt--because that's what I'm good at. I'm good at relationships and mannerisms because I grew up with them, and I've always been one to examine people's behaviour. I guess that's why it's the most natural thing for me to write about--and why the material interests me. One thing I have to applaud Stephenie Meyer on is her enthusiasm for her characters and her work. I wish that I had that kind of enthusiasm for everything I wrote. Her characters are real to her. That's why so many people think they're amazing (notice the use of the word "think" XD It's a debatable subject). I like this story because it's comfortable. I'm writing about my own skin, my own life, just twisted slightly beyond recognition. I think this is the way you should be able to feel about all characters; it's just the first time I've felt it. You should know your character inside-out, well enough that it feels like your voice as you write, your emotions as you struggle from hardship to hardship; your loved ones that fade away before your eyes … Hmm, I am one babbler … sorry if I've bored you to death. D: tl;dr --I haven't written much, but am thinking about my story an awful lot! Love, Bre <3
