So, school has started again. First year at college, first year to mess up, first year to freak out, and, hopefully, first year to be epic. Because I'm crazy, I decided to go into business. This means facing the Evil. Yes, accounting. Have I ever told you how much I hate accounting? The government has their fingers in everything. It's not just numbers and formulas. It's numbers, formulas, and government laws. Yes, I hate it.
Another topic, NaNoWriMo. What? You have no idea what that is? Well... It's part of the Office of Letters and Light's Young Writers program. This is a program that encourages writing in schools. clicky here. NaNoWriMo is a worldwide challenge every November. It stands for National Novel Writing Month. Yes, writing a novel in a month, of at least 50,000 words. The only rule? No editing. No touching what you wrote. None of that. You just write, and leave it as is. Then you finish a novel, start to finish, and don't leave it in the middle.
On this note, I have no idea what I want to do this year for my novel. I tried doing a romance, but that didn't go too well. Then I tried a horror novel. That didn't go too well. School got in the way. This year, I want to finish something and have it readable. I'm thinking of possibly a fantasy story. Yes, a romance again. Or possibly an adventure story. There's still time to think though.
This year, I would love to go to the Night of Dangerous Writing. It's on November 21, in San Fransisco. It costs 200 dollars. This 200 dollars is a donation to the Office of Letters and Light, not to me. Donate here.
