Subject: Ugh Time: 10:26 pm. Mood: frustrated. Music: My Last Breath ~ Evanescence.

I'm so out of it. I just spent an hour and a half writing a scene I already wrote. I suck. I'm still counting the words, but I'm going to have to scrap the whole friggin' scene. What a great start. -.-

Comments: 3 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Subject: Mid-year Writing Fest Time: 5:39 pm. Mood: cheerful. Music: Control ~ Poe.

Even better than Christmas in July, it's ::drumroll:... NaNoWriMo in July!!! Would that make it JulNoWriMo? Anywho... I'm not as ready as I'd like, but with the brainstorming assistance of my wonderful roommates, I think I have enough to at least start writing tomorrow. Whether or not I'll have enough motivation to get past the first week? Well, that's a whole other issue which I will address later. Probably at the last minute and with a lot of procrastination. If you would like to join in this craziness, please, madness always enjoys company. I'm going for a the full 50k, because that's what my story needs for completion (if not more), but feel free to set any goal you like. It's just more fun when more people are involved. ^.^

Subject: A New Beginning Time: 6:26 pm. Mood: accomplished. Music: Cling and Clatter ~ Lifehouse.

I am officially moved in! Unpacking has been quite the ordeal and, of course, it isn't completely done yet, but we've really made a lot of progress. Now that the cleaning and sorting is taking a little less time, I can start focusing on my story. I just need to prove that I have the will power to get started. lol. For those of you who are interested, I'm going to link to a few pics of the new place. They're not the best quality and everything is still a little cluttered, but I'm too excited to wait until we get it all perfect, so here we go. :) ( Sunshine and Daisies... well, sunshine at least )

Subject: I'm baaack Time: 11:19 pm. Mood: creative. Music: Wicked Game ~ Heather Nova.

Hey all! Guess it's been awhile. Miss me? My hope to continue my NaNo after November flopped miserably, but I do have an excuse, what with the new job and all. However, school is officially out and even though I'm teaching summer school I have a wonderfully abbreviated schedule which allows for many free hours to devote to my hobbies. As such, I just spent about 5 hours reading through this last year's NaNo to refresh my memory. I'm moving into a new place on Saturday (O.O!!!), so this week is a little hectic for writing, but I think I might do a self-imposed NaNo. I'd really like to finish Adrien once and for all. Anyway, I just figured I'd say hi and see if anyone's even still out there. Oh, and I was procrastinating going to bed, but seeing as how I still have early hours I should probably stop that, now.

Subject: Um... oops? Time: 9:07 pm. Mood: excited. Music: All the Love in the World ~ NIN.

So I had every intention of doing JaNoWriMo this year because I just needed that kickstart to get back into my writing. I figured I'd have the time, since being a teaching assistant means that I don't have to take work home and I don't have a huge out of work commitment.... And then I got the call from my principal this morning... I am, as of 9am this morning, an official teacher!!!! One of the teachers at my school resigned and I'll be taking her place. I'll have my own classroom! My own curriculum! An actual salary! lol. I'm so giddy it's insane... and I'm just waiting for the overwhelming terror to find me. Because I take over the classroom on Monday. 3 days away. And I don't know what they want me to teach. Aaaaah! But in a good way.

Subject: Merry Christmas Everyone! Time: 10:24 pm. Mood: tired.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. Here's hoping everyone is having a lovely holiday. ^.^

Comments: 1 gentle whisper - whisper in the wind.

Subject: ..... Time: 11:53 pm. Mood: crappy.

Ugh... That is all. ( The Words Left Unsaid ) I don't know if that's a complete scene or not... but nothing more was coming, so for now it's finished.

Comments: 5 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Subject: No... really... I'm still here Time: 8:19 pm. Mood: apathetic. Music: Human Clay ~ Creed.

Well, it's coming slowly, but it's coming. And I promise I will keep writing at least until the 30th. I do not promise, however, that it'll be any good. Here's the latest of my scenes... mostly pointless, but that's what NaNo's for, right? ( Adrien's Progress Reports )

Comments: 3 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Subject: Le Sigh Time: 7:00 pm. Mood: aggravated. Music: Fat Lip ~ SUM41.

As always, reaching 50k has caused a major drop in my productivity... but it hasn't stopped it. No... for that, I blame everything else. I am tired. Not as tired as yesterday... then I felt weary down to my bones... but pretty damn close. School drains me. I taught a god awful lesson today in language arts. No. Really. God awful. And, if that wasn't enough, my family keeps traipsing in and out of the hospital. Eventually, they're going to stop believing me at work when I come in and say I'm waiting on a call for whoever's managed to land themselves there this time. I'm glad that Friday is another DeKalb trip. I need a getaway, I think. Yeah... I definitely do.

Subject: I Did It!!! Time: 10:24 pm. Mood: creative. Music: Hero ~ Daily Planet.

I have officially reached 50,000 words!!! (50005 according to MS Word). I'm really happy, but I didn't want to win NaNo early, so I made a compromise. I'm going to keep writing here, but I'm not uploading my new word count until the last day. That way I'll still be in the game until the end. ^.^ So, until the 30th, my NaNo word count will stay at 49999. Yes, I'm a nerd. I'm okay with this fact. Here is the final scene of the night. Hopefully more will follow tomorrow: ( The Time and Place for The Silent Treatment )

Subject: Almost there!! Time: 5:34 pm. Mood: excited. Music: Minus ~ Stavesacre.

Wow... 48,900 words. I have just over 1k to go, and I'm done. O.O Writing today has been like pulling teeth, but I'm determined to get to 50k tonight. Here's the latest trio of scenes for any and all interested: ( Sometimes We Don't Like How Things Turn Out ) How goes it with everyone else??

Comments: 6 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Subject: Writing I'm Not Too Ashamed Of Time: 8:58 pm. Mood: cold. Music: I Can Only Imagine ~ Mercy Me.

I can't believe it. I'm at 45K. Well, 45001, according to NaNo's word counter. Yikes! If I keep going tonight and stick with it, I might actually reach 50k by tomorrow. O.O Originally, if I was on track to finish early, I was just going to slow down and wait until the 30th to officially "win." It's always a downer when NaNo ends. However, since this story is far from over, I think I'm just gonna enjoy the fact that the story is cooperating and see how far I can get. Here's the next scene. I'm a lot happier with this one than the last one... and it makes me like Red even more. I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. lol. ( Wait... You want me to speak? ) I'm so frozen. The cold air is just seeping from my window into my fingers (My computer is right under the window). I need hot chocolate. Or a space heater.

Subject: Not done for the night Time: 6:27 pm. Mood: cold. Music: Higher Love ~ Steve Winwood.

Well, the Perthians have thrown down the gauntlet for a 10k weekend. I don't think I'll be able to manage that (I procrastinate too much), but I'll give it a shot. If it's all as crappy as the next scene, however, it would be better left unwritten. I apologize for just how horrible it is. Of course, that's not gonna stop me from posting it here. lol. Just don't click the link if you want to avoid scarring your eyes. ( Blade's Poorly Crafted Defense for Racism ) I know... I know. Blade's little jumps in reasoning make no sense to me, so they probably don't make sense to anyone else either. But I didn't have the brain power to make it more believable, so that will have to wait until after November. Don't worry. I'm quarantining this scene so it can't contaminate any others.

Subject: Happy Thanksgiving! Time: 12:35 am. Mood: accomplished. Music: Holding Out for a Hero ~ Bonnie Tyler.

Well, I didn't write as much as I wanted to, today... but I did write. So here are the next couple scenes. ^.^ I left off with Lynx picking his scapegoat... so now, the consequences: ( For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction ) On that cheery note... here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Comments: 7 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Time: 6:36 pm. Mood: lethargic. Music: You Put This Love in My Heart ~ Keith Green.

Okay... here's the last of the writing from this weekend. It took me two hours to type it all up. o.o; But at least it's done, and now I can keep going with new writing. ( Devious Practices )

Comments: 3 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Subject: A Million Years Later Time: 4:48 pm. Mood: tired. Music: Can't Buy Me Love ~ Beatles.

Wow... it's been 6 days since I've posted. Sorry guys. I have been writing. I've just been to lazy/busy to type it all up. I'm in the middle of working on that now. In apology, here's the next three scenes for anyone interested. Red is finally out of the infirmary. Lynx is finding out the result of his grand scheme. And Switch is hatching a plan of her own. I'll probably be posting another excerpt or two tonight, as well... so... yeah. Adrien overdose, anyone? ( Why Starvation isn't a Good Punishment )

Subject: The Upside of Migraines Time: 10:43 am. Mood: peaceful. Music: Call on the Life ~ Further Seems Forever.

Well, last night wasn't fun. At all. About 5ish, I started getting a headache that decided it just wasn't going away. Not to long afterwards, it had developed into a full out migraine. Not fun. When it didn't stop by 8 and medicine wasn't making a dent, I decided it would be in my better interest to take a day off, in case it decided to stick around. Thankfully, the headache finally abated and I got to sleep better than I have for awhile (Yay advil PM). So, here I am, at 11am in the morning with a beautiful day off ahead of me. Sounds like its time to boost my word count. ^.^ Before I start, here's the two scenes I finished last night, despite my head's attempts to stop me (I apologize in advance for the insane amount of wordpadding and ridiculous content): ( Infirmary visits and Late Night Thieving ) My current wordcount is 27,217. Past the halfway point and still going!

Comments: 5 gentle whispers - whisper in the wind.

Subject: Another Day, Another Word Count Time: 3:57 pm. Mood: tired. Music: La Vie Boheme ~ Rent.

::yawn:: It's only 4, so why am I so tired??? Soon I'm going to have to dive into my writing. It being a school day, I haven't written anything at all yet... but I think, first, a nap might be in order. However, I will leave you all with the scene I finished last night. ( Summer Lovin' ) My characters seem to be spending a lot of time with empty heads. Switch has her romances. Red got pounded rather painfully. And Lynx? Well... Lynx just always seems to be a bit lacking in the common sense department. Silly characters. What will I do with you all?
