Word Wars, Halloween Update and Christmas....OH MY!

What a wordy title, huh?  

Well....Halloween was epic.  I got more candy than ever before and am going to have rotten teeth and fat thighs if this chocolate-must-eat-more phase keeps up.  :P

That was after we organized and began the 'great candy trade' at my grandma's house.

I dressed up as Mara Jade, my sister was Rapunzel, and Chibi was a Pirate. ;)

Semi-Cute picture of me with meh candeh...
 

Nutmeg....er.....Rapunzel STUFFING HER FACE...

ignore the bag, it makes my leg look weird.  xD

yes...i know....she's ADORABLE.  ;)

My awesomesauce trick-or-treating bag!!!  :D
                                               

It was a very good Halloween.  Wanna know the best part?  

Well, Chibi and Nutmeg decided to go into the dreaded (by me) Haunted House.  While they were in there, the smart (cunning/evil) people who lived in the house had kids dressed all in black with the full face (can't see anything at all) masks, prowling the nearby houses.  So when my mom and I waited for my cousin and sister, (and dad), this kid who was slightly taller than me came up and pretty much got all up in my face, staring me down.  xD  I was like "Oh..um....Hi?"  XD

Chibi was trying to tell me something, and then she kinda got annoyed with the guy, so she came up behind him and pulled off his mask, completely ruining the effect.  XDDD  We all laughed SO KRIFFING HARD.  XDD  It was epic.  ;)  Highlight of my night actually.  

And she said to us later, "HE WAS UNMASKED BY THE LEGENDARY EMBER SPARKSTONE!!!!"  ;)  Tis true, he was quite defeated by her.  ;)  It was AWESOME.  XDD

Anyways, Word Wars....that was fun.  ;)  Amaranthine and I had a Word War this morning.  We took a half an hour and wrote as much as we could in that time, and then stopped at the same time.  ;)  I wrote 1,298 words!  :D  

I now have 4,300 words, and it's only my first day of NaNo!!!  I'm going to write some more very soon....write after this blog post.  ;) 

This will be my last post for a while....seeing that I am going to be quite busy with writing, and school too!  :)  

Cad Bane's Chick has agreed to guest post for me once or twice, and my mom is writing another guest post too!!! :)   I'll also post when it gets to be Thanksgiving time, since it's my favorite time of the year.  xD

What about Christmas you ask?  Well, it's the day after Halloween and my family has already started to crack out the Christmas stuff.  ;)  Halloween/Fall is going away, and Christmas/Winter is coming out.  Christmas music is being played, and lists are being written.  ;)  

Alright y'all!!  Have awesome weeks!!  I'll be checking in every so often on Blogger!!!  Fellow Wrimos, write on and have fun!! 

God Bless you all!!!

November: A Month of Literary Abandon

NaNoWriMo.

Only 2 days, 8 hours, and 36 minutes until the start of National Novel Writing Month.

My email to my family and friends has been sent.

My profile has been set up click here.

My plots are outlined.

My characters have sketches.

My binder is ready to go portable.

My laptop will be ready by this afternoon.

And I am totally ready for NaNo.

I am a WriMo.  And I am going to write a novel in 30 days.

~~~~~~

That kinda sounded poetic.  :)  I like that.  XD
I have a to-do list.  It MUST be finished today.  The first half is school-related, but the other half is NaNo realted.  Here is that half.

NaNo Half Of To-Do List:

1. eat
2. wrap up fanfics to get ready for nano
3. prep binder (again)
4. buy a memory stick (again)
5. fix printer
6. go over outlines and add to them
7. pick a tense to write in (no i haven't done this yet!) 
8. eat

What do you think?  I've got procrastination down really well on that list.  XDDD  My first thing is to finish up school, so I'm going to do that now.  ;)  

I know many of my TLF sisters and Blogger friends are doing NaNoWriMo this year.  :)  Feel free to add me as a writing buddy!!! :D

I'll do the NaNo edition of Beautiful People, to get even more in the mood.  ;) 

Sum up your novel in 5 words or less:  Homeschooler changes the world

Novel Title?  Project:  Public School

Sum up your main characters in 1 word each: Evelynn: ....special.  Luke (yes, he's got a very original name for me, xD):  Sweet.

Advice for newbies in 3 words?  Stay On Target

Tell us about your secondary characters, how do they affect the story?  The secondary characters will help the main characters develop, as well as cause conflicts and create progression throughout the story.  ;)

Do you plan to stay up until Midnight on the 31st?  Heck Yes.  XD  I will start writing at 12:01, and probably won't crash and burn until about 3, after all the candy I'll be eating.  XD

How many years have you done NaNo?  One.  :)  This will be my second year! 

What came first, characters or plot idea?  Actually, this is rare for me, the plot came first.  I came up with it in the shower and wrote it down for future reference.  Little did I know that I'd actually turn it into my NaNo Novel!  :D

How much prep do you do before November?  As much as I can, this year, last year I had NOTHING.  Barely a plot.  XD  This year I've got lots of stuff lined up and ready to go for writing.  :D

Now be honest, how do you really feel about NaNo?  I love it.  I get so excited for it.  :)  I've been anticipating November for the LONGEST TIME.  ;) 

So ends my NaNoWriMo post....I will be writing a few short posts throughout the month, as well as some epic guest posts I have planned!!!!  :D  

Write on, Wrimos!  ;)
