Horror of Horrors! The last time I posted was exactly a month ago. SHOCKING! So, even though I have nothing to write on, I'm writing this post to save face as a writer.
Many of you will not remember, and that's why I'm going to tell you, but Nanowrimo is almost hear as November rears it's head. (I can't say ugly head 'cause my brother was born during the month.) Anyway, with the approach of such a huge thing in my young life, I've started seriously hacking out my plot for my 30,000 word book I'm going to try and finish. Yes, I did say 30,00 and for those of you who didn't raise your eyebrows in surprise, 30,000 is a very large number of words to write in a month. For Nov. it's 300 words a day. However, this is manageable since I've written well over a thousand words in a day. Yes, I'm very excited for this book since it will be the 9th in my total of completions. Also, it will be the biggest book to be completed. Plus, the story is intriguing for me. Who knewthat a plot could stem out of a title that was thought up, trying to help a fellow writer name his book. :)
However, I should really stay on what's happened in October, since that's the stuff I've bypassed. I've been heavily preparing for the next audition in the Region process I explained before. I passed through the District level and on this Saturday, I'll enter the next audition hoping to pass as well. The outcome of it will definitely be put on facebook, so you needn't worry. ;)
Kathryn had a birthday in this month as well. Yes, she turned twenty which was very strange, let me tell you. Being the only teenager in the house, as well as having to remember to say that she's twenty, will be somewhat of an adjustment. For her birthday, we celebrated by going out to dinner at P.F. Chang's where I got the best Orange Chicken ever!!! So good! Also, we hit the movie theatres to see Real Steel.
Let me take a moment of this post to inform you of how good that movie was. Oh, my goodness! I was so impressed. I expected to like it, but not nearly that much and not for all those reasons. It had a good story, believability, and great acting. Hugh Jackman was perfect for the role, and I actually got mad at him a couple times 'cause I thought he was being too mean.
I've also been sick lately. For almost two full weeks I've been sick. Not fun. It's just a cold, but waking up day after day with a full head, clogged nose, and no voice gets REALLY old, REALLY fast. I'm just hoping that my voice will clear by Sat.
Well, that's about all I got. Hope that filled you in a bit. Hopefully, I'll have more and better stories next time!
