NaNo Update #3

Well, it's now the 21st and I'm so behind on writing. I didn't hardly get any writing done because I've been doing school work, and actually going to school, and stuff like that. You know, trying to be a good student even though I'd much rather skip classes all month so I could just sit around the house and write all day. But, that's not how it worked out. >.<

On the bright side, though, I'm on break for a whole week! I can only imagine the amount of writing I can get done in that time! Hopefully it's a lot. I'm gonna need the time to play catch up if I actually want to reach the 50k mark this time around.

And, I would have written yesterday, but it was my 19th birthday! :D It was amazing, and even better because I didn't have any classes at all, meaning my break started a day earlier! XD My grandma made me an amazing cake, and gave me The Tournament at Gorlan by John Flanagan (so excited to read that) as well as some glitter body mist stuff (which happens to also be one of my favorite smells.) And then, this afternoon my aunt and uncle took me for coffee and got me a travel mug thing, which is gold, and amazing! :D Over all it was awesome, but it meant that I didn't have time to get any further on the short story I'm working on!

The last poll was something about who you would like to know more about, and I think Wolf won that one... Which is why I started writing a short story thing to post, but then I started off with Bryin and Wolf seems more like a side character at the moment, so I'm just gonna post that story here and come up with one mostly about Wolf and put it on the other blog. (That way Bryin doesn't get upset at Wolf. ;) )

So, if I can manage it, I'll try to have both stories up by the 27th, which is Friday. (Just so I give myself a deadline.)

And for an actual NaNo update, I have 14,387 words in total... And I'm still trying to end chapter two so I can move on and write about a few more characters, but I think I'm starting to get ideas about what actually happens in the middle of the book, so that's good. And I'm still really happy about it, so that means I'll definitely be continuing it until the end. (Or that's how I feel about it at the moment.)

But yeah. That's about it, I think. I'll come up with a new poll question soon, and it also looks like I'll be drawing up a new map and posting it, so look forward to that. Though, it'll be after the short stories, and maybe even after this semester of school ends for me, but we'll see.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and definitely come back later to check out the short stories whenever I get around to finishing them. And wish me luck with NaNo! :D

NaNo Update #2 (Video)

Okay, sooo, here's my update. :D (Ignore my awkwardness. XD) And also, I'll have a new poll question up tomorrow. 

New Blog!

Sooo, this is a short post, but I'd thought I'd just let everyone know that I have a new blog for my project More Than Survival. I figured that I'd eventually want to blog about that project, but I don't necessarily post everything about it on here since it's for WoP. Sooo... Yeah! You can click the Other Blogs tab, and find the link there, or just click here!

Also, son't forget about the poll thing. It ends on Saturday, and I'll have a new question up sometime that afternoon!

Thanks for reading this, and also, let me know what you think of the new blog! :D

(Bryin: Yeah, of course there's a new blog. First she completely abandons my story right in the middle of it, then she starts to like her new characters, and then she makes a whole blog for them. And you know what? Those characters won't even be grateful for all that. Gosh. Why can't my author just come back and forget about all the other stupid new characters? Why?!?!

Tristan: Ooh... What's this place. It looks cool... Maybe it's some top secret government thingy...

Bryin: Um, hello? This isn't you blog, you terrible new character girl. Go back to where ever it is you came from, I was in the middle of--

Tristyn: Oh, I didn't see you there... Are you a government agent? Sorry about being here when it's supposed to be top secret and everything. It was a complete accident.

Bryin: I don't work for the government! This whole thing has nothing to do with the government! If you want to ramble on and on about stupid stuff, get on your own blog! This one's mine. I'm the only one allowed to do stupid stuff on here.

Tristyn: Well, excuse me. That was rude. I'm not stupid, and I'm not rambling on and on. Not yet anyway.

Bryin: Then leave before you do start!)

Me: *Shoos both Bryin and Tristyn away before anything can get out of hand* Oh, and sorry for just stopping in the middle of your story Bryin! I promise I'll come back soon to torture-- I mean-- write about you later!!!

NaNo Update #1

Soooooo... I'm not doing as well as I would have liked. >.< First, I would have liked to update my blog yesterday, but I was too tired since I had just gotten home from being out of town for a concert. (BTW, Skillet is amazing, and that was my second time seeing them. I also saw Family Force 5, for KING & COUNTRY, Jamie Grace, Lincoln Brewster, and a few other people. It was awesome! And Sadie Robertson was there as well! :D) All in all, it was worth the time I spent not writing. But, I only have 3,518 words written as of right this moment, and I'm around 8,000 words behind. I don't have much time to write today because I have a lot of homework to do, and I may not have a lot of time tomorrow either. >.<

BUT! There is some good news! (Other than the part about the concert ;) ) So far, I wasn't sure how this story was going to turn out, especially since every time I try to write a new story I lose interest and just default back to writing Bryin and Darvel's story. (Bryin: Um, of course she does. I'm just too awesome not too.) I still don't know if I'm going to lose interest in this yet or not, but so far I'm liking the direction I'm heading in.

I really like the main character Wolf, and I'm excited about the idea of adding in a few other main characters. Only problem at the moment other than low word count is, I'm not quite sure where I'm going to take the story. XD But, considering I'm never low on ideas, I'm sure that won't be a problem for long. Especially since I do have an end goal.

Anyway... There's my update. If you haven't already noticed, there's a new poll question up! Which character would you like to hear more about?

This was the result of last week's question:
Which character do you feel the most sorry for?
Bryin  0 (0%)
Darvel  2 (33%)

Katrina  4 (66%)

Other  0 (0%)
No one  0 (0%)

So, Katrina won with a total of 4 votes. Yay. XD I voted for Darvel, just because (or Katrina... I honestly can't remember because it's been a pretty long week...) and Cloaklover voted for Katrina. So that means four other people voted, which makes me happy because I wasn't really sure if anyone else would. :)

And, one last thing, I have a personality quiz thing. If you haven't already taken it, you totally should, just for fun! And if you've already done it, first, thank you so much! :D And second, let me know your result in the comments, or any questions you had! I know two people said they got Adela (which is why I included her in the poll question) so if you want to know more about her then just let me know. :D

Okay, I'm done rambling. I think... Thanks for reading! Hopefully I remember to update my blog next week!
