The Age Of The Understatement - The Last Shadow Puppets
Well, this week has been less than stellar for me, someone that I care about deeply went into the hospital and now I am currently taking care of her from the time that I wake up to the time I fall asleep. I'm so very happy that she is still with us, but that also means, I can barely get anything done in terms of writing. (Only time I can write is when she is sleeping and only after I finish my homework, which I haven't done this week yet. No worries though, it's not due until Sunday)
I'm lucky I am actually updating the blog, though I will be falling asleep pretty soon; waking up at 3:30AM will do that to a person. I will have more time on Sunday because someone else will be watching her, which hopefully I will read everyone that is involved with the Birth of a Novel's blog, and leaving comments of encouragement like so many have done for me! (I am also hoping that I get in a few hours of writing Sunday also, I really have no idea how parents do this, time management is quite hard!)
Before Sunday hits, and for all of you out there reading this, I hope your novels are going as smooth as butter (butter that is room temperature that is, if its refrigerated, that stuff is pretty hard!) And hopefully, I will be reading your blog in no time! Happy noveling NaNoians!

Here You Are, You Are Breathing Life In A Ghost Under Rocks Like Notes...
Ghost Under Rocks - Ra Ra Riot
Well, After one of the worst days of my life that involved Paramedics, hospitals and a surgery, I am happy to announce it seems (as of right now) everything is going to be fine! (Actually, they are expecting it to be better than before which is even better news) Though it was really scary! That being said I did not do to much writing on my novel yesterday. When I did try, my mind kept wondering to what was going on, and it was totally hard to concentrate, so I took the day off. I didn't want to, I thought I had a pretty good start and I didn't want to lose that momentum, though I suppose that is one of the reasons why we work ahead, so if an emergency comes up or if we have some plans we simply cannot miss, it will be ok because we are ahead.
That being said, my novel is coming along alright. I'm still on the first chapter though. I have a good "cliff hanger" to transition into Chapter 2, though I fear it might be to far into the story. (My stupid inner editor talking, I told him to go on vacation for the month, but I suppose he loves his job too much, maybe I should have told him it was mandatory!) And the more that I think about the story, the more little scenes I see in my head which is fantastic to say the least. I hate those stories that I start writing and get absolutely no scenes in my head after I start writing it. It creates a dull, lack-luster few chapters in which I give up. (I also don't like it when my mind thinks of too many "scenes" and the book starts feeling crowded) Maybe after NaNo, I will post some helpful tips on how I combat either problem! *Makes mental note*
Well, I'm going to start writing my novel now; now that I know everything is going to be fine and my mind doesn't have to think about that anymore. Happy noveling!
