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!
