AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

SO I HAVE DONE IT! THAT'S RIGHT! I now control the universe and all that are in it! Well okay that is a lie .. I am only almost there.

After being wonderfully ill for several weeks, I pulled myself to my laptop and ignored the world for a little under 14 days to finish NaNoWriMo .. at the halfway point I only had 1504 words of the 50,000.

This morning at 7am, with no sleep for the past few nights I dragged myself across the finish line, precious cup of coffee in tow (it's white chocolate coffee .. can't abandon that!) and 224 words over the required 50,000 for midnight tonight. Is my story done? Almost. I didn't want to end it for the sake of ending it because I hit the word goal. I would feel like I wasted my time if I did that. So a proper ending will come within the next few days.

What now? WELL I still have to pass in my knitting homework for all my classes at HPKCHC. I am aiming for two classes by the end of today (deadline for that is also tonight, thus the need for the days of no sleep.)

Despite the stress and feelings of "Omg! I will never get this done!" And "I still have my six knitting classes I haven't started yet ahhhhhhhh!" I actually had a whole lot of fun doing this! It's a story that doesn't have to be good. It can go anywhere you want and you don't have to worry about it. You just go with it. You write for the sake of writing and not to impress anyone else. I like my story. I am happy with it and I am SO glad I did this.

I seriously recommend next year's NaNoWriMo to you all. It was a fabulous month! If you aren't into novels there is a script(stage and screen)/tv show/graphic novel event in April. Check it out. It's called Script Frenzy.

Knitting and Writing

Well due to illness this month (which is ALMOST out of my system .. I thank all who lit candles for me and others in the house who needed it) I am severely behind in pretty much everything. I have two projects on the go (Herbology and Charms) But neither are half done. I am also and WAY behind in NaNo. I wrote all night, until 8:30am this morning and managed to push my 1500 words up to 10,000 exactly. It was pretty cool to end on that number and be done the chapter.

I am hoping to get another 5000 this evening. If I can get 5000 a day for the next few days I can catch up. I SHOULD have 25,000 today. So 15,000 will only put me 10,000 behind ... so slowly I am catching up. THEN I can spend some serious time getting caught up in my classes. I would love to get at least three done this term.

Okay I am just using this to procrastinate! Back to NaNo! ;p

NaNoWriMo

Wow I am really sucking at blogging lately. I also have two old blogs I need to tie into this one. But that is on the long term list of things not soon got to.

What's new? Well knitting for one! Just started actually making real things a couple months ago and though sometimes it can get tedious and very frustrating, I like it.

I am in my new city ... no job ... no real address ... but I am here. This month I am working on (and am really behind due to illness that is now only a sexy cough ... not as sexy as it was ... but still sexy!) NaNoWriMo. So over the next three weeks I have to write 50 000 words ... minus the 1800 I have done so far ... yea a little behind!

Also I have my knitting classes to keep up with. That's right I am now attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for knitting. I don't want to let my house down (every month you knit for classes and earn points for your house to try and win the house cup at the end of term). And scarves, which seem to have slowed this month (doing a traveling scarf - group of ppl knit a 5 inch piece of scarf and mail it to the next person in the list and that person adds a piece ... by the time the scarf pieces have gone around the circle everyone gets a scarf knit by different ppl in different countries. It's kinda cool ... and very stressful being a beginner with all these people who knit so well! I have frogged every scarf I have worked on so far many many times! But once I get my sections finished I am happy with them).

And that is all for now. Typos be damned I don't have the patience to reread today!
