NaNoWriMo Day 9 & 10!

Hello, and again, I am sorry for not posting yesterday. I came down with an unexpected 100 degree fever and didn't write anything, didn't do anything, and basically just binge-watched Pretty Little Liars...don't judge...

Alrighty, here are the stats:

2014-11-01: 4,055
2014-11-02: 6,326
2014-11-03: 9,000
2014-11-04: 10,401
2014-11-05: 11,467
2014-11-06: 11,489
2014-11-07: 11,489
2014-11-08: 13,467
2014-11-09: 13,736
2014-11-10: 15,099

I WROTE THINGS TODAY! And I stayed home from school...and I got a lot of homework from my teachers because they love to torture children with paper and words and questions...

Alright, that's all I'm going to write for today!

See you tomorrow (hopefully)!

Comment if you watch this blog! I want to know if anyone's out there!

NaNoWriMo Day 7 & 8!

Hello! This post is going to be purely informational, as it is 12:00 at night and I am extremely tired. 

2014-11-01: 4,055

2014-11-03: 9,000

2014-11-04: 10,401

2014-11-05: 11,467

2014-11-06: 11,489

2014-11-07: 11,489

2014-11-08: 13,467

As you can see, I did not write anything on the 7th, so that is why there wasn't a post that day. 

That is all for today (sorry this is so short! Longer one tomorrow, I promise) so I will see you tomorrow! Bye!

What's your word count for Day 8 of NaNoWriMo?

NaNoWriMo Day 6!

I did not write anything today. Literally, I only wrote 22 words...I don't think I'm even going to list all the stuff down below, because it was such a bad day in writing news. Let me explain myself:

I HAD HOMEWORK. A LOT. My History teacher gave us a report that has to be three paragraphs long with different criteria we HAVE to hit to get a good grade...and guess when it was due?

TOMORROW NOVEMBER 7, 2014

I was very displeased when I read this on the rubric...

Anyway, I also had some Science homework, Algebra 2 homework (I got to skip Algebra 1 for my Freshman year I'm so happy!), and also some English homework that's due tomorrow. And I'm expecting to get some stuff for the weekend, but that can all be done Sunday...right?

I promise you people who are reading this that I will have a larger word count for tomorrow and that it will be filled with words and news of words.

Bye!

Have you ever felt discouraged to write because of homework or other stuff? Has you History teacher ever given you impossible tasks to do in one night? Tell me your woes and I will listen!

NaNoWriMo Day 5!

Sup guys! Yes, I am posting today (again [what a shocker]) and here's my update:

2014-11-01: 4,055

2014-11-02: 6,326

2014-11-03: 9,000

2014-11-04: 10,401

2014-11-05: 11,467

Today, I wrote 1,066 words, not as much as I would have liked, but then again, I was extremely tired when I got home, and was struggling to get back into the rhythm of the story because I left off in the MIDDLE OF A CHAPTER yesterday...I don't really like doing that because I always feel like I haven't completed something, and then I can't figure out how it's supposed to end (!)

In other news, I combined two chapters that I had originally thought would be separate, but then saw that if I wanted to keep having 2,000+ word chapters (as a typical fantasy novel is) then I would have to combine the two unless I wanted to go into DEEP detail about torture! Yes, I know, it is such a fun thing to write about...*sarcasm*

Alright, that's all I have here today. I'll see you tomorrow on Day 6 of NaNoWriMo!

Have you had to make changes to your outline to fit the story this NaNo yet?

NaNoWriMo Day 3 & 4!

Hey, sorry I didn't post anything yesterday; I spent the whole day writing and doing homework. BUT, let's see my word count so far, shall we?

2014-11-01: 4,055

2014-11-02: 6,326

2014-11-03: 9,000

2014-11-04: 10,401

Yes! I surpassed the word count by A LOT yesterday, and today I only wrote a little bit. I'd planned on writing a whole lot more, but I just didn't have the motivation and I was too excited for something else that was just released TODAY...And those things are:

Maleficent and The Retribution of Mara Dyer

I have been waiting for Maleficent to come out on DVD ever since I saw the day it came out, way back in May. 

And regarding The Retribution of Mara Dyer....I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS FINALE YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

/End excitement.

Anyway...I think I might write a bit more tonight, but I'm not so sure...maybe I'll try to finish up the Chapter (Five)? Ugh, decisions, decisions...

Oh, also, if you want to become my writing buddy, here's the link to my profile: http://nanowrimo.org/participants/kamreadsyabooks I hope you become another one of my writing buddies!

How is you NaNo going?

NaNoWriMo Day 2!

Hello and happy NaNoWriMo Day 2!

Before we get into how I'm doing, let's look at some stats!

The stats below are what I'm at right now, at 6:30, on November 2. I'm probably going to write some more tonight--I'm planning to get to at least 7,000 tonight!--but I wanted to give an update for today before I forgot!

2014-11-01: 4,055 words

2014-11-02: 6,326 words

Yep, I have, so far, written 2,271 words TODAY. And I still want to write 674 more words so I can get to an even 7,000. I might even want to get 8,000, so that I can finish the fourth chapter...anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I still have to the rest of the night to figure this stuff out.

Alright, now, on to what has been happening with my book so far...

My book is going great! I'm so happy right now and the words are just flowing out of me as I write. I know this isn't going to last for long this month, so that's why I've been writing in big chunks. And this week, I expect to be writing a bit more than I would on an average week since I have off on November 4th (thank you Election Day!!)

And, this weekend, I've started watching a beautiful, beautiful show, and it's called...

The Flash

Don't look at me with that judgement, I can feel all the way through the screen! It's a good quality show and I'm liking it a lot (BTW: I ship Biris!)

Ok, I think that's a good enough update for today. Now, I'm going to go an watch Once Upon A Time because that stuff is just...beautiful!!!

What are your stats for NaNoWriMo so far?

NaNoWriMo Has Started!

Hello there again! Sorry it's been a while since I posted here, but I've been in school and I lost a friend of mine to cancer, and I had no motivation to write here anymore...I almost thought I wasn't going to do NaNoWriMo this year...

But guess what? I'm still doing it!

This year, NaNoWriMo is going to be tough for me, since I'm a Freshman in high school, and I'm in ALL HONORS CLASSES...that means two or more hours of homework every night. Anyway, let's get into the fun stuff of this post, shall we?

For NaNo2014, I am going to be writing an epic fantasy novel, and there are Dragons, epic battles between Dragons, extinct races of people who aren't really extinct, and a badass heroine who has to destroy the Dark Princess! I am really in love with this story, and I'm already 2,500 words into it on the first day! (The goal for November 1st [and every other day] is to write 1,667 words! I'm ahead of the game!!!) And I still have more that I want to write today. Do you want to know the title? Ok...well, the title is:

The Last Dragomir (The Dragomir Chronicles #1)

Yes, this is a series of books (four books to be exact) and I have the whole series mapped out before me, so I know what I have to foreshadow to. My plan for this NaNoWriMo is going to be very different from last year's plan. This year, I am going to write in big chunks on the days I have off from school (i.e. weekends and holidays) and then write bits and pieces on the other days. I am hoping that this will work out in my favor, but I won't know until I reach THE END of my book.

For this November, I am also planning on doing something I've never done before...I'm going to write a blog post ever day of NaNoWriMo and share my progress!! Isn't that exciting? I hope so. So yes, every day of NaNoWriMo, you people reading this blog, should be getting a post by yours truly. 

Until next time!
