6:57 pm	A few more hours until midnight! Only a few hours left! I can't wait to start writing! And I do think that I'll make it. It's so weird that I'm optimistic about this. About something. Well, a reason that I have to make it is that I've already told people I'm doing this. If I show up next, next, next, next, next Thursday on December 1 without a novel they will be justified about laughing at me. I don't like the fact that I've given people some hints about the novel. They're so going to be creeped out when they see what I'm writing! :) I can actually make the synopsis sound like it's for a fantasy story if I want to. But...nah. I have to do this! I WILL have my novel, and I WILL be running around on December, celebrating. Bragging rights, anyone? Current Mood: optimistic (Comment on this)

7:58 pm	I signed up! AND, I have a plot! I signed up for NaNoWriMo! Of course, I can't log in because there's a problem with the servers or something like that... They'd better fix it soon! I have a plot! An actual plot! I was originally going to use one of my stories, but then I made it longer and merged it with this other one. I have a 576-word synopsis, and I might try to make it longer by working a few more things in... I want to start writing already, but I know it'll be a good idea to think more about it. I have the plot, but I'm not sure if I have the right characters (or enough characters) for the story. And as the author, I'm supposed to know my characters better than anybody. Of course, right now I'm the ONLY one who knows about them... I THINK I can do this. I can see myself working at midnight, typing and typing and trying to get just the right words on the screen, not letting lack of sleep get in my way, making Starbucks richer and richer by buying their coffee, and screaming at people when they tap me on the shoulder and ask me how I am. I should apologize in advance to everyone I know... The insanity of it all will drive me on, knowing that I am working toward a complete novel and knowing that many, many people in the world are suffering with me. I will look like a crazy person the day before November 1, because I will be telling people I will start writing my novel tomorrow. I will look like a crazy person during the month of November, because I will be telling people to keep quiet and stop bothering me, I'm trying to write a novel here! And I will look like a crazy person when I complete my novel, putting it in a binder with the synopsis and dragging it around and showing it to people, telling them to celebrate with me because I finished my novel! In short, I will look like a crazy person soon. Very soon... Current Mood: cheerful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:08 am	First entry! I don't know why I started this LiveJournal, actually. I just saw that someone posted their LiveJournal in their profile at the NaNoWriMo website, and I decided to make one before this username was taken... One more day before registration for NaNoWriMo! And I have NO ideas for my story... Well, that may not be true. I have SOME ideas, but they're stories I could not bear rushing. So I'm back to square one... I could always do a sequel of my story (the one I wrote in two days in Grade Nine) or maybe even the prequel, but I want to write something people would understand. No prequels or sequels of anything, then... Another idea would be to combine story ideas. But I'm not sure how that would work... The genre of my story will probably be fantasy. Horror and science fiction are two genres I have NO talent in... This has been proven by that "gothic" story I wrote... And I've always thought science fiction was lame. (Is that ironic because I once wanted to be a scientist?) No one's going to read this, right? I am SO paranoid... Well, I should be careful, anyway. Wait... What are YOU doing here? Why are you reading this? ...Do you know where I live? ...Don't answer that. Current Mood: thoughtful (Comment on this)
