I'm getting over my stress from a few days ago. I got through my math test and I think I passed it. I got a good chunk of my Shakespeare essay done, it just needs some good editing and a few additions. It's nice to get things back in control.On the MBIRML front, things are going well. I'm developing the plot and realizing what I need to add. It's why the postins aren't really going in order anymore. Sorry, I'll do my best to keep you as unconfused as possible. It's been an interesting process to write something that I really care about (rather than fanfiction) but post it immediately. It makes the writing process a little tricky. However
this whole thing has helped my writing, I'm forced in to doing it (bar this week's stress) and it helps when the writing gets tough. And the writing always gets tough.
So, I think I'll continue doing this. Not to this extent. Doing 7,000 a week with school is hard and I can only imagine what it'll be once I get a job. Maybe 3,500 or something. I can do 500 words a day. I'm not sure what I'll work on next.
On Kissing Tom Legend: Charlotte Marks is the most popular girl in all of Riverdale High. She has a best friend named Jane, a handsome boyfriend named Michael and an adoring sister named Elizaveta. She lives in an affluent neighborhood and is in the top of her class. The world is at her finger tips. Until she walks in on Michael and Jane kissing--and it's been going on for weeks. Charlotte can't believe it, so she gets in her newly acquired car and jets off to the shiny streets of Hollywood. Using her charm, smile and low cut Zac Posen dress get her in to the hot night club. The music is loud, the drinks are forthcoming and sitting in a private booth is Tom Legend. Tom Legend is the hottest singer ever. And Charlotte is photographed kissing him and that photo is pasted to the front of every magazine by the next day. Everyone at school thinks she cheated on Michael and not the other way around! Charlotte doesn't know what it means but it can't be anything good.
I already have 11,000 words of this so I could probably do 1k a day. This is another instance of me not knowing how it ends. Right now it's not very happy and that really can't stand. I think TL is more of an emotional journey from shallow teenager to strong, independent college student.
History Repeats: Naomi had much bigger plans for her summer vacation. She was going to sit by the pool and work on her tan, highlights and single status. Things didn't go as planned though. She got
stuck going to some podunk town hundreds of miles away from her ocean side town.She thinks it's going to suck until weird things start happening. She's drawn to a condemed house in the ghost town and feels almost connected to the place. When she does some research on the place there's some weird coincidences with the family that lived there.This is another instance of where I have a huge chunk of it already (9,000 in the 2nd draft). Right now I see it going to about 15-30,000 depending on how well I edit it. This is the story that I was trying to get out for Valentine's Day. It's been on the backburner for awhile due to school and other writing but I'm looking forward to getting starter on it again.
Dreamwoven: Elisa and her family took her mother's death hard. Brian acted out and didn't accomplish much with his life, Meg estranged herself from the family as much as she could and dove in to school, their Dad did his best. As for Elisa, she got depressed and got anxiety and insomnia. She got the short end of the stick. In order to cope with the insomina she goes for walks at night, she likes the quiet. One night she runs in to Derrick. Derrick is cute and mysterious, but she tries not to think too much of him; he's just a stranger of the night just like her. When Elisa goes off to college she's hoping that things will get better. No one there will know who she is or what she has gone through and when she gets there things start to appear that they will get better, until she runs in to Derrick again. Her roomate Thea tells her not to talk to him but she can't help it, Derrick might hold the key to getting her mother back.
This is my first completed Nanowrimo. It's very close to my heart and I really want to finish it some day. I was a little stuck after finishing it and tried to do a complete rewrite, with Elisa in high school even, but it didn't really pan out. I'd like to continue with this one though. I think what hung me up was that I had to answer some really hard questions in order to get to the end. Very philosophical. The posting for this one would probably be 2,000 words a day and mostly be editing.
I also have another one called Death Becomes Her but that one is going to take research galore before I start writing it. I might save it for the next Nano. :) So, what do you think I should write about?
