NaNo First Day

So, today was the first official day of NaNo, and I'm definitely off to a good start. I'm almost finished my first chapter with total word count at 3732.

There's just one little problem. I've spent so much time and energy pumping myself up for this, that now I'm fricking whooped. Of course, I did go to Zumba today for the first time in a week, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. And -- if we're being honest -- this was me this weekend:



Hopefully, I'll catch up on sleep tonight.

I did manage to get my swap boxes done - YAY! for motivated me - and I'm planning on getting them out this Saturday. So, if you're reading this and you're supposed to get one from me, expect it mid-next-week.

Highlight of Today's Writing: I found out that Octavia is a bit more sarcastic than I originally thought. When I wrote out the outline, Octavia's tone was more reserved and a bit more naive. Now, though, half way into my first chapter, she's a hard ass, and a hilarious one at that.

I've also discovered more about her relationship with Danny, more than what my character sheets could have given me. It's like fighting fire with fire between those two. But that's sort of why they love each other so much. It's eerily like looking a mirror for them.

Downside of Today's Writing: I'm too tired to go on. I've got more dialogue in my head, I can see how the chapter ends. I want to get it out. But -- I need a shower, I need Dean Winchester and I need my bed.

In other news -- Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphries are getting divorced after only two months of matrimony.



Are you fucking kidding? Dude -- her wedding cost more than everything thing I've ever owned in my life. For two months of being married?

I sigh in disgrace at you, Kim Kardashian. For Shame!!

I heard she didn't even tell him before she did filed.



That bitch doesn't know what she wants. And she has everything, so whenever she does get something, she's always looking for the next. Not that he's any treat. I hear he's a jerk.

I bet they're back together in three weeks. Quote me.

But whatever. They're celebrities, right? This is how they live. What upsets me is that they're a model for children these days, and they don't even know it. Even the Obama girls wanna' watch their stupid show. And this is how this dumb bitch acts.

I digress. I don't have time to rant about this now. I'm off to the shower. Nighty Night.
