JanNoWriMo

Okay, so part of my signing up for NaNoWriYe '07, I decided to check out their new 'WriMos Club', where basically you do a whole bunch of WriMos over the course of the year. Since I was already planning on doing that I was able to look at their list and start figuring out which I am going to do. I decided to start the year off with a kick doing JanNoWriMo, and then take February and March off for more relaxed writing and probably some editing(since I really need to finish off my WriMo novel so I can start working on all the loose ends that I know need fixing). I'll probably then do April Fools, and take May and June off to focus on school stuff. And that's pretty much all I have figured out so far. Obviously I'll be doing NaNoWriMo in the fall, and possibly NaNoFiMo again, but between June and November I think I'll just have to see how things are going on my various projects.

So anyways, this post was supposed to be about JanNoWriMo. I had an idea in the shower the other day, but I haven't finished fleshing it out yet. I'm hoping to do some of that tonight, and then I might do something like write the first page at midnight before going to sleep. It's hard to believe that another year is coming to an end and i'm once again a year older (for those of you who don't know, New Year's Eve is my birthday). But it is, and once again I've gone a whole year without finishing a single piece. Let's hope 2007 is a bit more productive!

2nd post (because I'm lame and can't think of a title)

Okay, so I admit, I still haven't really done any writing. But I wanted to be good and update this anyways. I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that I won't actually make NaNoFiMo, but if I get through this month with a finished novel, I could care less whether or not I make 30k. So yeah, I've officially signed up for NaNoWriYe '07, and I'm planning on being in the 100-200k club. I'm also considering whether or not I should write a sequel to my WriMo '06 novel (which I'm supposed to be finishing this month). But who knows, I shall see how the book ends, and how the year goes. This is all I'm going to write for now, because I still have a crapload of homework to do, but it makes me happy that I posted again!

First Post!!

Okay, so, this is the first post on my new writing blog, seshat's child!! Seshat, for those of you who do not know, was the ancient Egyptian goddess of writing. Anyways, this blog will be used to track my writing progress and all that fun crap. I recently finished (and won!) my second NaNoWriMo, a.k.a. National Novel Writing Month(November). I've also decided to participate in NaNoFiMo, National Novel Finishing Month, for December, so that i can finish the amazing thing i started in November. I also have a few other stories that are sort of works-in-progress, and i'll probably be going back to those in January when NaNoWriYe (Nat'l Novel Writ'g Year) starts. Uhm, let's see, what else can i say...i recently founded my school's first Writing Club, and we've had two successful meetings so far, but we need to do some more advertising so we can have more people. So what i'm going to do now is go back to doing my history homework, so that i can get some sleep and actually accomplish some writing this week. A presto!
