Yes I am still alive! I have just not been doing much blogging. Well, actually, I started a couple of post but they never made it out of draft. For something different I decided to post on this blog instead of my one on Wordpress.
I guess the most exciting thing is I started NaNoWriMo. The link about it is attached below.

The idea is to write 50,000 words equaling 175 pages of a novel that you start and finish in November. You can write more then that of course! :) It really isn't about quality but quanity. Nonetheless who doesn't want to write something worth reading. I didn't sign up with the site but I am tring the challenge. I started last night with the words,"It was a cold November evening. The sun had long ago hid behind the wooded hills in my backyard." It turns out that it is going to be about a spy named Sarah Beacon, a story idea I formed a while ago but didn't like they way it was turning out. I didn't have the right start on it. With this new start I kept writing front to back until I nearly wrote three full pages. Now I will just have to start typing so I can find out what my word count is! :)
Oh and I found out about NaNo from Owl and Sparrow's blog. http://owlandsparrow.wordpress.com/
This is going to be a very interesting project. If I get nothing else out of it at least I got a great lead on an old idea!

ReplyDeleteI like the spy idea, sounds like fun to write and read!
