Midnight

Finally life has become busy this school year. First there's my english paper, on a book that is so chilling (brave new world), but maybe it'll help me deal with this phobia [nooses and hangings, and yes, I think I'd call it a phobia over a mere fear]. Then there's nanowrimo starting tommorrow, and I don't even have a character analysis written yet, just the plot. But I'm not complaining, it doesn't seem like much, and I guess it isn't, but I'm all for the overwhelming, otherwise what's the point of having untaken opportunities, which is a reason why I chose to spend my November with pen and paper. Anyways, it's halloween, the worst day of the year, but I'm a bit biased with all the nooses around. I don't celebrate the day, so tonight will consist of Microsoft Word (thank God for it) and an intense scribbiling of characters' analysis, with starting the actually novel at 12:01 a.m. And I guess it's at that time when my life will really seem to get hectic, but honestly I'm very excited for it. Hopefully I'll break off any last bits of procrastination that I have through this endeavor, and put what needs to be done first.

NaNoWriMo

I've decided I want to have an overall topic for this entire blog, but until I think of something that interests me, I'll have to share on my life.

Yesterday I received a letter from a friend who'd we'd been writing back and forth. In the middle of the letter she told me of NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. She told me she had decided to sign up for this aspiration. In this event, the goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. Once I finished the letter I immediately bolted to the computer to sign up http://www.nanowrimo.org/user/225504 (my account if you'd like to see how i've been doing). I've always wanted to do the cliché "write a book before I die", and it's not being published is alright with me, since I can hardly believe the book will be of any quality, since this is about quantity. I still have a few days to come up with a topic the novel will be on, since it must be of fiction, which took away my original idea for this writing. Another friend suggested love, and I am currently waiting her reply of what about love I should write on, but maybe I'll figure out something from the vagueness of it all.

Oh, The Irony! project

Back in January I decided to save up so I could be a youtube blogger, sharing my life stories through videography, which would be the Oh, The Irony! project. Well, here I am in November, $300 short of a camcorder. I am currently looking for a job, so if all goes well by January this project should be taking off.

This blog is for:
-Oh, The Irony! (once i have a camcorder) and how it's coming
-personal, my life, my experiences and life's lessons
-and whatever else I decide to post on

So as the original project is still getting ready to start, maybe this will become a side project once the other is up and running.
My actual goal for these two projects, I have yet to decide.
