Miss Morbid and the Month of November

Hey reader,

I know this isn't a good way to start off a blog by saying I won't be posting much this month but I won't be posting much this month. NaNoWriMo is in full swing and this year I'm a participant! If you want to check out my profile it is MissMorbid. Friend me?

Well I also got my little paws on The Knife of Never Letting Go's sequel, The Ask and the Answer so that will be taking up my time as much as all this freaking school work.

Oh yeah, and I have to do 18 hours in the Fitness Center this month because I've been putting it off. God. November's going to be a BUSY month.

Don't worry though, I'll try to have at least two posts up (like you really care) by the end of the month. For those interested in my NaNoWriMo progress, I'll probably post about my journey through the hell that is writing a book in a month as well as trying to get A's in high school. What a life.

Miss Morbid and the NaNoWriMo Challenge

Hey reader,

Yesterday I signed up for my very first try at NaNoWriMo. If you're just as confused as I was when I saw the name for the first time last year, it's actually short for National Novel Writing Month. The premise of the challenge is to basically write a 50,000 novel in 30 days.

I know. Crazy but apparently it has been done before (probably with people who are not in junior year of high school). Despite the almost definite prediction of failure, I decided to try it. And, if I do actually succeed (and subsequently fail all my classes) then at least I finally have that first draft to a book I've wanted since I was in fifth grade.

Now, it's just a matter of which story idea from my "Idea Vault" folder I will choose. I have so many ideas in that folder, saved up from four years of brain scattering. Now, I just need to go through all my old ones and see which one I think I would enjoy writing in one month. Either way, though, I think this is going to cause major headaches. At least I have my Advil!

And at least, since I now go to a high school on a college campus, I can take my laptop with me to school so on my free time I'll be typing away, ignoring my friends and my boyfriend for a whole month. Haha no kisses for boyfriend till I get this first draft done in a month!

I'll post more about NaNoWriMo and I'll probably post which idea I'm going to build the novel around once I figure it out myself.
