I got the warnings, and still I attempted NaNoWriMo. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but in October, I was always thinking, "1667 words a day isn't too much, really,". I WAS WRONG.
I'm doing well, I guess. You can see my word count from that widget on the right, and I am currently, at this moment in time, on 4212 words. Which is good. It's more than the target 3333 words on day 2, but OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MORE. I've seen profiles of people who have over 10,000 words! Askevkvjfgfesodkfjgfo! Keysmash. Deal with it.
In my novel, which is a body-swap novel, I've written the first two chapters, which are just establishing the characters, and the start of chapter three, the first chapter after the swap. Luke wakes up in Jay's body and I don't really know what to do.
Jay has this witty sister, Penny, who speaks a bunch of languages, and so I think she's a good character to work with, but I'm kinda stuck. I need more inspiration, I guess. I have the plot, I just need to think of more fillers, I think.
If anyone has any questions (if anyone reads these), feel free to leave them and be my writing buddy! I'm PANDAmonium99 and my novel description is here.
By the way, if you're on Tumblr and you're into the fandoms, go to mah blawg! Harry Potter & the Timelord's Box. ALSO I have an inspirational blog of which I'm really proud!
I think that's enough links for today. OKAY BYE!

Another Day, Another Post
I just realised that I am thirteen. Which means I have homework. Homework is time's worst enemy. Once you have a little time - BAM! - homework will take it from you. NaNoWriMo's going to be difficult.
On the bright side, this week is half term week. Half of which is in October, so I have until Wednesday to finish what homework I have and on November 1st I can write as much as I can until I get more homework, right? Wrong.
After Halloween, I'm going to Cornwall, to see my grandma. I live in Wales, and I think I can bring a laptop, but I'm tired of all these obstacles. I'll write in a notebook until I have my computer and then I can just copy it out again. This is yet another prime example of how much time hates me!
So now you know a bit more about me, and I apologise for the rant but if this were spoken I would still be hyperventilating. I'm a bit annoyed. With all that aside, I forgot to give you a link to my NaNoWriMo page. If you decide to join me, ask to be my writing buddy!
Here I am: http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/participants/pandamonium99. I'm going to write a completely original story (sarcasm, sarcasm) about two boys who swap bodies. I am a genius. I'm not sure where the story will take me, but I'll keep you noted here so you get the gist of the storyline, although I won't spoil anything. My hopes are way too high, so I'll wait, once I've finished, to see whether I'll post it online or wait for a publisher to come along on a horse, in shining armour and...
I'm getting off-topic. You should read the synopsis and an extract here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/participants/pandamonium99/novels/no-refunds-no-exchanges, and comment below on your thoughts!

A Daunting Beginning
I made a blog once before on here. It was sometime last year. It didn't go well. I made an unrealistic goal for myself to write every day, and once I didn't manage that I got lazy and decided that it wasn't worth it. I now feel that I really want a blog, but I didn't like the title and I went off-track a bit with trying to fit things in because it's hard to find every day content. I decided to call this one something simple that makes sense.
I will tell you about my life here and I might include [excerpts from last year's blog] that might be on my mind. Currently, I am tired, since it's way too early in the morning.
This year I will attempt NaNoWriMo, which is, if you don't know, National Novel Writing Month. I will attempt to write a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. I'll be showing anyone who might stumble upon this my progress. That's why the background is a picture of a book. Later on I might change it, but I like books, so we'll see.
That's me done for today, I think. You can look at my other blog (not last year's blog but my tumblr blog) at harrypotterandthetimelordsbox.tumblr.com. It's a fandom blog. If you like more sophisticated inspirational stuff, follow me on nothingbetterthanbeingyou.tumblr.com.
Bye!
