Getting nervous!

So, I must admit, I'm getting kind of nervous for NaNoWriMo.
Especially since I realized that I'll probably be going up to Washington for Thanksgiving like I do almost every year, and that means I'll have to try and fit my writing into that.
Can I really write 4 pages a day while I'm trying to hang out with my cousins?
I dunno.
I dunno if they'll let me, that is!
I mean, I could probably try and do my writing while they're doing their chores, but usually I help them out, and I don't want them to feel like I'm leaving them out or anything. So I guess I'll have to wait and see how it turns out. But I'll take my laptop just in case. ; )

I guess I also could always just write double time before of after Thanksgiving, but that would probably be pretty hard.

It starts tomorrow!!! Agh!! I'm probably not ready, oh wait, I KNOW I'm not ready, but whatever.
I'm gonna give this my best shot.

NaNoWriMo, here I come, be ready to be conquered!!!

Books and November!

Hey, so there was stuff I was going to put in my DA post on Tuesday, but I forgot (and didn't have time because my brother needed the computer).

So I'll just post it here, yay!

I was going to write more about re-reading... but I don't think I will.

What I'm wondering is, have you heard of NaNoWriMo?
If not, it means that November is the National Novel Writing Month.
If you decide to participate, the goal is to have written a novel (50,000 words) from scratch in the month of November, from the 1st-30th. There's a website with lots of information about it.
I heard about it from one of my cousins who has participated in it before, and I think it sounds really interesting.

Soooo I have officially decided to enter it!

I'll try and blog about it while I'm doing it, to keep me going. Who knows if I'll make the deadline, because I've certainly never written anything that long, especially not in one month only! But I'm going to try.

Well that's all for now, bye!

Some stuffs

Hey, I have to leave to go to my little brother's soccer game pretty soon, so I'm just gonna say a few things.

I have updated my blog playlist, added some things, deleted some things, and rearranged some things. (So you should listen to it).

One thing I've changed is the first song. It used to be Comatose, by Skillet-which is still one of my favorite songs- but now it's The Beauty of Grace by Krystal Meyers.
I was listening to that song on my iPod yesterday, I had listened to it before, but not very much, and for some reason it just stuck out. I mean, usually I had skipped that song because I thought I hadn't liked it or something, but when I was listening to it yesterday, it really touched me. I mean, one, it's a really good song musically, and two, the lyrics are true. I really like it.

So, you should please listen to it, or at least look up the lyrics and read them.

=D

Well I have to go empty the dishwasher, so bye for now! (check out the playlist)

:D

*Sniff*

Sniff sniff. Not that I'm sad or sick or anything.
But I just sniffed.
And it gave me the inspiration for that title
Yeah, I'm weird, okay??

So my brother Brian got this photo editing program called Gimp, which is a lot like Photoshop except it's FREE! Yesh. And lately I've been finding out how to do some cool stuff with it. Here's one picture I edited:




Yup yup. Here's another (I went all out on this one)

Yeah, so, it's really fun learning how to do that. What's up with you?
Bye for now!

Trip, hopefully

So tomorrow I'm hopefully going up to Ridgefield to visit my cousins. See, my parents are going up really far in Washington to visit my dad's mom, and they're planning to drop me off at the Murray/Zschomler's. Just for the weekend, Friday-Sunday. But the Murrays have been sick lately, so I can only go up there if they're all better.
We're gonna call tonight and find out if I can go... hoping that I can!!
=D
