And The Results Are In....

So it's November 30th. And--as if people seriously care--the big question now awaits us.
Did I make NaNoWriMo?














HECK YES!
I won NaNo freaking WriMo! First try! Booyah!
I hit the 50k mark yesterday. Is my novel completely finished? No it is not. But I'm only about 1000k more away, just wrapping it up.
But, I still completely the challenge.
Yeah buddy! :DD
I'm sick of writing though. For probably a good few weeks. So, yes I won. Congrats to everyone who won! It's not per say hard (in my opinion) just a bit time consuming. If you didn't make it? Don't sweat. You tried. Just try again next year.
Yes i called my friend screaming into the phone when the 50,000 number filled the bottom left corner of my screen. The word count on NaNoWriMo.org was 6 off, but that's not a big biggie. It was 100 off for my friend. Just a different program.
I don't care. I DID IT! AH!
Yep.
Bye.

Haven't blogged in awhile...

Well, I'm still alive. Don't worry. I'm not dead.
Nano hasn't killed me...yet.
I'm still up to date! I'm so proud of myself! Currenly, I'm only a bit over 100 away from today's quota. I might write more, considering I'm a bit     tired and not feeling 100% today. Not goign to be out dinking around anyway...
Anyways, hope everyone in America had a great Thanksgiving! Christmas is coming closer and closer! There's already presents under our tree upstairs. :)
Not much to say....last Friday (not the last one but...the 18th) I had my writing buddy come over. We seriously stayed up till midnight (she forced me) to finish our word quota. (We had spent a long time working on our TAG Civics project). Did I already say that? If I did I apologize.
Yeah...I'm procrastinating. I still can't believe I'm only about 5 K words away..and a novel is born! Well possibly. I might write a bit over in December, but as long as I hit 50k in November so what?
I might hvae to make a quota so I don't stop the writing. I want to finish a novel!
Once I hit December, I'll start longer blog posts. Once we're done with NaNo, a buddy and a cousin and I are gonna do a co-story. That'll be intresting.
Anyway....back to writing. Good luck to anyone who's doing it. Hang in there!

Short and Sweet...

So we couldn't get together Monday. Bur right now it's 10:37 and my buddy's right next to me typing. We had a tag project that took us...4pm-9pm. And I'm REALLY TIRED.
But i need to write. Eh.
Sorry...but bye.

Here it is...

Well, let's get this done before I get caught up in NaNo-ing...last night I posted that I'd be writing a blog at a later time, when i was on something other than a kindle. And here it is...
Well the last two Monday's my NaNo Buddy and I have been meeting up and "burning some creative energy", by attempting to write. Key word: attempting. It started out with looking at bats that looked like ballons...
We normally only get a few hundred words done, maybe a page. (I'm normally writing, and she'd have her netbook, or we'll both have our notebooks).
Well, last Monday was an interesting day. We wrote a little--while swinging on their kiddy swings--and then went over to this field and raked some leaves; which her family and neighbors had spent awhile using tarps and caring all their leaves over to the area. And we starting grabbing sticks and shouting harry potter spells at the leaves and jumping in. Avada Kedavra--a killing spell. Yes, we were killing the already-dead pile of leaves. We're 8th graders. xD Blame her, not me. She's the one who brought up this quote:
"I used to run around acting like harry potter. But now I can't raelly get away with that, so I put all my creative energy into writing."
She has a big wooded-area around her house.
And, mid-way as I was laying in a pile of leaves I looked up and saw her little neighbor staring at us. *Sigh*  She had a popsicle.
Well, somewhere in their she tried showing me this tree trick, which involves climbing a thin tree, scooting toward the end of the branch and pulling it down. She'd then jump off and let the branch swing back up. Kinda fun as she takes a trip down to the ground in mid-air, via branch.
Well, the first time she tried she got stuck. Quite funny, actually. A goood friend would've rushed over and helped her--a BEST and TRUE friend (like me) takes out their phone to get a picture while laughing hysterically.
Thing is, about a month ago I gave her an IOU for her birthday (I got her a sing-a-ma-jig that wasn't delivered yet--yes one of those 3+ Fisher Price toys. We both have one :D) and on the card I wrote a little poem, mocking the non-rhyming card she had given her mom a few weeks before.
It went something like this:
Beginning:"You knew this was coming, after your moms..."
Ending: "I love you buddyx3, but I would laugh if you fell out of a tree."
And she refused to fall out of a tree for me! I was just trying to rhyme. Buddy buddy buddy (buddy x3) refers to author buddies. I can't remember the middle.
Annyways, that was funny. XD I still have a picture of her dangling. She fell, but she only slightly hurt her ankle. She was okay..not like it was very far. If she was in a more dangerous situation I would've helped her but...yeah.
Then we went on to play on a wooden swing and a horribly putten (is that a word? Probably not) up tire swing by a bunch of kids. It touched the ground. Yeah, but I found a fun way to play on it. Either push your friend ever so slightly when she finally gets it to stand straight up with her on top and watch her fall (I'm so nice) --but later get pushed off yourself. OR get on and tilt to the side. Then you swing around on the ground--WARNING::You're butt will get dirty.
And chasing her cats. Ah, our Monday's.
Her step-sister and neighbors walked down to a really close Kmart and brought up a big bag of FunYuns and delicioso chocolate. :) Yes, if there's a word in Spanish that you don't know (I'm in Spanish |) just had o! :D
Well tomorrow's another one--but we're over at my house this time. More interesting times await.
It helps you get through the long month of November.
~Jae
PS- Don't worry, we're sane. No humans were hurt in the making of this Monday.
PS-I hit the 20k mark yesterday for my novel :) :D Oh the little things. I'll be halfway done on Tuesday...I'm 2/5 s done this time.And we're 1/3 through November. :)

Dead Computer...Thank Goodness for Backups

Well first off...its 10 pm and im lying in bed typing this blog on my kindle. Its the black 3g keyboard one. It was the nesest version but they just let out 3 new ones.
Anywayys, my computer died. Bummer huh? Especially during freaing NaNowriMo! Thats like the worst possible time. I mean really! It died a few days ago...but i refuse to give up this task. I'm going pretty strong, reaching the needed amount everday (times 1667 by the date...today we needed 20002 or so...)
Yep. So suck it up and use the other computers and laptops till the new one i get for Christmas ;)
So not only is the stor on my dead hardrive and flashdrive...im emailing it to myself everday for a second copy (b/ im not so sure the dead one counts...which has oher stories and more-completed ones and pictues on it.)
Yeah yeah yea...i need to stop whining.
I have a fun story about tree falling nd such from our mondays of november...where my writer buddy and i burn our creatve energy...by writing together. so not listening to he lazy song, jumping in a huge pile of leaves while shouting harry potter spells, eating funyuns and taking obsessive pictures of ones self. pshh...never.
anyway thats for another day. my fingers are hurting...
anyways...good night fellow bloggers.
~Jae
ps. sorry again for punctuation ;)

10K mark. Woot!

Pretty self explanatory. I'm 1/5 done. :D But I'm frankly too tired to do a happy dance.
Today the minimum amount would be 10,002 and currency I have 10,067. I'll probably write more later.
Sorry but this blog is gonna be super short. More like a comment, cause frankly I have other homework (which I  don't think the teacher's will count "I was doing blog posts and writing for NaNoWriMo!" as an excuse)
I'm going to update my word count proudly and then go learn how solutions form. Yay.
If I don't get distracted by a recorder from 4th and 5th grade...
~Jae
P.S.-Any other NaNo's? How's your progress?

3-Days! 5,000 mark!

Okay, this is going to be a short blog post because frankly I'm just the itty-bitty bit tired of writing at the moment. But I'm, as I write this, at 5, 627. :D
I haven't done long periods of writing inawhile, adn I'm feeling pretty dang accomplished.
I turned on Don't Stop Believin'. :D
Pssh. Nooo I didn't do a happy dance. :)
Sorry, I'm really giddy. Don't worry...I'm still sane. Just excited. Yeah.
Still a long ways to go though.
Any other fellow Nanowrimos...Write or Die is helpful. Don't wory...you don't actually die. Scroll down though, and use the internet app one. It makes you write by taking away your word goal if you don't. And you only get one pause. :)
Also, this excel worksheet helps :) (Thanks KT!)
I'm 11% done. :DDD
I can't stop smiling. Seriously.
Well, I'm logging out for the day. Adios/Chao!
~Jae
P.S.: :DDDDDDDDD I am the ice cream man! Running over fat kids i with my van.They want ice cream cones, but all they'll get is broken bones.
Sorry, we're playing Iron Man in Jazz Band. :)
