Just a quick post to assure you all that I am not dead.
I'm doing NaNoWriMo. I have two days left. I promise I'll post after I'm done my novel. :)
AND I GOT TO 30,000 WORDS TODAY
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Halloween, Aladdin and NaNoWriMo
Sorry for the really late post! I haven't been keeping up with my blog. I haven't been posting because I've been procrastinating with Minecraft and Hogwarts Extreme school has been really busy lately.
For Halloween, I went as Luna Lovegood. I copied her entire outfit and even bought radish earrings! I went with two of my friends, my brother and my sister. Here's a picture we took after we went trick-or-treating:
While I was gone, I tried out for an Aladdin play. It was for middle school only; sixth to eighth grade. We had to sing (we learned Arabic Nights and A Whole New World), dance (we learned a combination), and act (they gave us a few lines and we had to recite it). I went with a few of my friends and had a great time. I was really nervous. I now know who I am playing, however, and I'm relieved. I'm playing a thief! I'm actually very excited to play this part because for one, I've never acted in a play before, and two, Aladdin thieves are cool. :P
This year, I'm participating in YWP: NaNoWriMo (Young Writer's Program: National Novel Writing Month). NaNoWriMo is a contest that starts on November 1st every year. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. since I'm participating in the YWP, I can change the goal. I've decided not to and push myself to the limit. At the moment, I'm on word 3,216/50,000. I need lots of enthusiasm and discipline to get this done. :) You can find my NaNo profile here.
I better get back to writing. I promise to blog more frequently and post about the Aladdin rehearsals as well as my NaNo progress! Bye!
