Camp NaNoWriMo

Hey again! It's almost summer, and you know what that means! Pool everyday, beach a couple times a week, and scrambling to write a novel in one month!

In 15 hours and 43 minutes, I will begin the journey of a lifetime, and try to write a novel, from beginning to end, in a month! Camp NaNoWriMo is an branch of the original and still functional organization, NaNoWriMo, where you write a novel in the month of November, the national writing month. With Camp NaNoWriMo, you have two chances to participate. The first is in June, which I am doing, and another is in August, which I might or might not do, depending on how June goes.

I'm really excited, but really nervous! I have an idea all planned out, but not all the way. We'll see how it goes though! I'm probably going to spend these last 15 hours and 43 minutes trying to find inspiration, and plan out as much as I can! Wish me luck! Next time I write to you guys, it will probably be from Camp! Or on second thought, maybe after Camp is over.

If you don't hear from me by August, it probably means one of two things. 1, I am fine but still crazy exhausted from NaNoWriMo. Or 2, I died in the process of trying to figure out how to describe the death of a character. Let's hope the second doesn't happen! If it does, feel free to deem me an insane writer.

Ah! 15 hours and 39 minutes! Gotta go! Write to you later! (or maybe not ...)

Simply Fabulous? Well I'm Not!

Hello everyone, how are you all today?
Oh, we are simply fabulous, Abby!
Well I'm not!

Yeah, yeah, complain all you want, Abby's so cranky! Blah, blah, blah. This is what happens when I have complete writer's block, and none, at the same time!

You see, I have ideas, like angels, super-humans, mermaids, crazy villains, etc., but I have no idea how to use them! Plot block, I guess you could call it. This 'plot block' is definitely a problem when it comes to deciding things, like if my character should be a super-human or an angel, or, whether or not my characters should be switched at birth or not. How frustrating!

Well, I just had to get this off of my chest. Man, how I hate my brain sometimes! Do you?
