Hey everybody. NaNoWriMo (that's National Novel Writing Month, for those of you just joining us) is going pretty well so far. I am a few thousand behind but I can catch that up in a jiffy. My plot has pretty much curdled into an icky chartreuse (yah, I'm not sure what color it is either, it just sounds cool) colored goop that I wouldn't want to touch with a fifty foot spork. But, alas, I must. I have redused to describing everything in full blown excruciating detail. Like this example here:
Wait! I can't I am too ashamed to post it. Please, don't be mad, I'll try and find something better. I have been so low down on word count that I had to describe the food they are eating. Right down to the manufacturers and ingredients. I've been tempted to make a few thousand words devoted solely to a stupid joke that one of my MC's made. Then I will have different character's come in, in the middle of the MC explaining why it was funny…every few minutes. That should take up some words. Heh.
I swear that this is a horrible piece of writing. I try to keep reminding myself that this is a 'puke draft' every time I point towards the back space button. Luckily I have a small and squishy turtle that I can throw at walls when I get frustrated. It even bounces back. (Evil laughter) It's a great stress reliever. You should try it some time. (Snicker)
In other NaNoWriMo news, my mother was about thirty thousand words behind. So I gave her a good idea and we ran with it. Yes. You did read that correctly. We. I told her that we should write the novel together. I've already caught her up too. Well, technically that's we, but I end up doing most of the writing. That means that I am now working on two novels. Yes, your right. This does suck. A lot. Ah, but life does go on.
I still have a whole bunch of homework due, and a few tests coming up. Erg! I am starting to get behind on all of the Digital comics I read too. Well, both of them at least. Oh…would you like to know the ones that I read? Okay.
Order of The Stick is found on a site called www.giantitp.com. It is a hilarious digital comic about a group of adventuring PC's called the order of the stick. You will only understand most of the jokes if you play or have played Dungeons and Dragons. Seriously you should gor read it now. I would start at the beginning though, it's petty indepth. Oh, and they are all drawn like stick figures.
Girl Genius is the newest. It can be found here. www.girlgeniusonline.com The plot and art is amazing. You should really go read this one to. It doesn't have anything to do with D&D. It's just really funny. I won't spoil the plot for you. Ha, now you have to go read it because you are curious.
Wow. Okay I must stop this and begin slaving over my…and mothers'…novels. See you all soon. Spork On, Haley
