Christmas

This years Christmas was not the best, but I was more than satisfied with the gifts I received. So looking past all the family drama and icy breath down my neck I decided that this year, Christmas was all about the presents and having Christmas dinner in a tiny house with the whole family crammed in there and the power was out, seeing nothing in front of our faces but the tiny glimmer of candle light that was basically pointless.
Anyways...I got:
-an ipod classic
-itunes gift card
-$20.00
-oil paints and canvas's
-a blanket
-body sprays and lotion
-movies (riding in cars with boys, p.s. i love you, wall e, anger management, and penelope)
-books (some sort of Christmas romances)
-a stuffed animal spider named Aria
-a bless the fall cd and jewelry from my boyfriend <3
-and...I think thats all.
Happy new years to you all!

New Goal

I have decided to re-write my unfinished novel "A Wonkle Journey". It will be a long road of headaches and determination but I believe that I can make it work. I have already started by editing what I have so far and I have written a rough copy of the first page or so of the story. I hope to have this completed by the end of the school year or sooner. Any ideas or suggestions on how to make this easier or what to do would be much appreciated.

This is a writing group I participate in and anyone who wants can go to our page and read and comment. We're very interested in feedback on our writing. This is a school club so no inappropriate or unnecessary/rude comments. Thanks!

Twilight Movie

Tonight at 9:15 I went and saw Twilight; the book and movie everyone has been talking about. I have never read the books and haven't been too interested by the media advertising but today my family talked me into going and seeing the movie. I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I hold a grudge towards Stephanie Meyer for writing Edward so perfectly though. There is no one like Edward that is real, so the torture of the fantasy is unforgivable. I am definitely going to start reading the books now and I cannot wait to see the next movie! It was breathtaking!

My Novel

This month I decided to participate in the National Novel Writing Month or as official participants say "NaNoWriMo". If you would like to check out the site or see what I've written of my book go to http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/402297 and see for yourself. The contest is for writers all over the world to challenge themselves and write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It has been a thrill. Tomorrow, November 30 is the last day when you can put your word count in and I fell way behind and am only at 25,000 words. So this year I will not be a winner, but I am going to continue with my novel and plan on getting to 50k before Christmas.
