The Post About Posting

Wow.

15 days since my last blog post.

As you've probably noticed (meep), I have completely and utterly failed on my 'this-time-I-am-going-to-blog-consistantly' plan.

I'm not running out of things to post about, at least I don't think I'm running out of things to post. I'm pretty sure I haven't posted in a while because I am a forgetful person who remembers that I need to post at the worst possible time of day.

Middle of the night? Oh, I should probably post.

Driving with no internet? Oh, I should probably post.

In the middle of the invitation at Church? Oh, I should probably post.

Anyways. I think you get my point.

Thankfully, I've got an abundance of blogpost ideas coming up (ironically, none of which have anything really to do with writing).

So, my dear blog readers, I apologize again for my unpredictability and am going to try really really hard to keep a more consistent pace.

See you again soon.

The Plottiest of Plot Bunnies

After the craziness, sleeplessness, and general obsessive consumption of all things chocolate, I promised myself a break from writing in December. It's only been eight days and I'm ready to start on my next project.

Once upon a casual scroll through Pinterest, I found a quote--a fantastic quote that pretty much summed up my life. "You can take a break from writing, but not from being a writer."

Like the last time I quoted something, I have no idea who said/wrote this. I know. I'm pretty lame.

Okay. Back to my idea. Basically, it's Merlin meets Sherlock Holmes.

I'm so freaking excited about this, I can't even. I'm so serious about this idea, in fact, I made a Pinterest board.

So, one of my main concerns is that I've got no clue how to go about writing a murder mystery.

Thankfully, Emma found me this wonderful blogpost.

In other words, I've got a lot of plotting ahead of me, which is going to be hard for this pantser.

NaNoWriMo: a Summary

OH.

MY.

FREAKING. 

 GOD.

Guys. Guys I did it. On November 27th, 2014, I beat NaNo.

How is this even possible? Just a few days ago it was November 10th and I was crying because words.

Basically, this month has been a roller coaster. And I don't mean a kiddy roller coaster with like, one hill. This roller coaster had hundreds of ups and downs and spinning twists and upside down parts. Nutella, Emma, Mariesa, and my Mother are the only reasons I survived this month.

With as much as I complain and whine about writing, I don't think I've enjoyed a month like I have November of this year. Yes, it was hard. Yes, I wanted to give up. Yes, I probably could have had a normal November if I had. But guys. I wrote a novel. Like, a full-sized, more than 2 and a half chapters, novel.

I feel accomplished. Like mega accomplished. Accomplished like this girl.

Congratulations all you NaNo winners. And congratulations to all those who didn't make the 50,000. Why? You wrote something, even if it was only 5,000 words. You're 5,000 words farther than you would have been.

So. I'm off to collapse. Good night, everyone, and congratulations again!
