Done!

I finished!

...

Yes, I finished a couple of days ago, but I forgot to post about it... so... sorry. =P

...

*does the happy dance*

I have 50,384 words. I think this year's NaNo was easier to complete than last year's. Maybe it's because I like the story better. It's funnier, less stupid, and Ferdinand is just plain awesome.

I found a picture of him, too.
Isn't he awesome? I'll be posting a picture of Marie soon, too (Who has a real life twin, by the way.)

Six more days

Just six more days before NaNo is up! The month has just seem to have flown by.

I ended up writing a total of ELEVEN THOUSAND WORDS yesterday! Eep! Bringing total up to 45,209.

With out MM, WM, Em, Rasi, and JF I couldn't have done it.

Thanks for Word Waring with me y'all!

Ten days to go! Eep!

So there's only ten days to go in NaNo! Yay!

Except I'm about 6 or 7k behind! Eep!

Fortunately my cat is giving me a lot of writing to do.

Unfortunately we're having guests over all of thanksgiving week and I won't be able to write much.

Fortunately I've had a very good writing day and will soon catch up if I keep up at this pace.


That's all.

And a little from Ferdinand Columbus:

The lights in the ship were dimmed, casting shadows over the chairs. Eric followed us down the stairs and went to the back of the ship. I wonder what he’s doing… I skulked after him, pretending I stalked a ferocious prey.

He led me to a small galley where he started preparing some food. I leapt on the counter and peered at the pan he held, “What’re you making?” I asked, forgetting he couldn’t understand me.

Ignoring me he went on with his cooking, preparing plates of food. I tried to snatch a bite from one but he pushed me away, scolding, “Don’t touch that! It’s not yours.”

I purred, “It would be mine if you gave it to me.”

Middle of Day Six

Well, it's the middle of day six, I'm at 10k, only 23 words ahead.

I would like to write more, but I've been rather busy and not really feeling like it. It's not 'cause of my characters, either, I love them. I just can't seem to concentrate.

I should be able to get some done in the car tomorrow, 13 hour drive! =O

Then also maybe on the plane on Tuesday!

End of Day Two

It's the end of day two! Wootness!

I love my MC, he's so... himself. =P


“Well, they won’t catch me, anyway, I’m far too quick, cunning, and cute… I mean, handsome.”


Yup, that's Ferdinand.

I've reached 5k now. I'm going to bed.

Thanks for doing word wars with me JF, Em, and MM!

Day Two

I didn't get to write a blog post last night, but I was so tired I couldn't.

Last night I got to go to the first right of in my region of the month. It was a blast!

I won the word war, too. =D I got bubbles.

So far my word count is 2,500 and I'm writing easy, no problems at all so far.

New Plot

So I decided not to go with that plot. Why?

I like it and all and I think it'll be great and fun to write, but there's this adopt a plot thing going on on CP and so I decided to adopt one that I really like.



"A man (or woman) and his cat are abducted by aliens, but the aliens think the cat is the more intelligent species and only communicates through the feline. Have the MC be either an alien, the man or the cat!

End with them getting back to earth, but it's up to you whether they go back "home" or find a new home in the galaxy. "


The Mc will be the cat, it'll be in first person (into the mind of a cat we go!), and his human will be a history professor named Gordan.

Bet you can't guess the cat's name.

two names the first name is the first name of one explorer the other name is the last name of another explorer. F C are his initials

Gearing Up

It's almost time for NaNo again! *cheers erupt from the background*

Since last NaNo I've... Moved, gotten a horse, visited another state (that's 47 total now), broke my femur, become a better writer, and become quite proficient with crutches. I'm deadly *waves one around in the air*

:6: Not that I'd really hit someone with one...

No, no, I take that back. I would. ^^


I haven't thought about NaNo much until now, except for a few random conversations with MM. We're both planning on doing an off the wall/crazy story. I'm also making my main character an adult guy. This is a first for me. I hope he doesn't end up being too girly. I'd hit myself then... but not with my crutch.

So far what I have in my plot is this guy has a normal day, goes to bed, sleeps, then goes into this dream world and it's very bizarre. People keep telling him that the only way he can get back to his world is when the 'Ones Who Are' deem it to be the right time. He meets a group of 'prophets' who tell him that the 'Ones Who Are' want him to do something (random task and it almost always is very dangerous) and then he can go back to his world. He then performs the task, or sometimes, almost performs it and then gets pulled back to the circle of 'prophets' (who sit around a campfire all the time eating sm'ores) and they tell him that the 'Ones who Are' have changed their minds and want him to do something else.

It's all very frustrating for him... and that's all I have so far.
