Nanowrimo!!!

For those of you who do not know, Nanowrimo stands for Nation Novel Writing Month. It takes place in the month of November, from 12:01AM on November 1st, allllll the way to 11:59PM on November 30th!

The goal?

Write a 50,000 word novel within those thirty days.

I'm sure your faces are like this

:O

or this

>:O

or this

:?O

Yes that man has a pimple next to his nose. Look closely. It's called a question mark.

I've always wanted to do something like this, I have. My excuse was always, "I'm so busy!"

Well, I'm ALWAYS busy. So I figured it was time to shut up, and start writing.

So over the course of the month, I'll be writing a lot. Not just Nano, but school stuff, and hopefully blog stuff as I keep you updated on what I'm doing and how I'm doing.

I'll be working on a project called Underfoot.

Wish me luck!

More on my life to come!

Junior Year: The Year Time Ceased To Exist

This title isn't meant to be depressing, just realistic.

I have zero time for most anything. Sleeping, reading, eating, jogging, playing, and sometimes that includes blogging.

So you'll have to excuse these past two months of absence. (You don't have to though, I'm just asking nicely.)

But it's been a while, hasn't it? Course it has.

Let me fill you in on life, in the form of rhyme:

Camp Scuffy ended, however bittersweet
To Albany I went, my staff to meet

Training ensued, where we learned and we played
And I stood in front of a tower and danced for eight hours
on magical move-in day!

When my voice returned and my limbs stopped screaming
My residents, all forty of them, I started meeting
Most are great and I love 'em all
Just not when they smoke in their rooms, or party in the halls

But that's alright, nothing to do
Except lay down my authority and trust them to be smart
Cause most have common sense in their heart

Theatre's been popping, it's been my scene
Got three big show's going on, know what I mean?
New show opened last night, to some laughs and applause
Actors did well, family enjoyed, then sat and suffered for two more hours
(I know that didn't rhyme, shush)

Next week I get to play a cokehead
And then in December, I avenge my family
Against the Scottish tyrant, Macbeth

Sketchy Characters, my comedy family on campus
Are as awesome as ever. It's a big year
And awesomeness is in the air.

And that's about it. Family is well, school is awesome, job is well, theatre is well and sketchys are great, writing is getting done (eventually ha), and yeah . . . sorry this is so late. I've never been good at keeping a blog. I'll try to be better. Specifics coming soon on specific things!

Happy 50th blog post, Blog!!
