So little time!

I just know I am going to blank out Monday night. I mean isn't that typical? I'm going to have so many ideas planned and am so excited then I am going to blank out and not know how to start. <_<

I started SuNo a little late and finished, but there is a HUGE difference between 15,000 words and 50,000 words. I got the most writing done in Tahoe. And we might be going to Tahoe again! That would be awesome. B)

Anyways I need to go get ready for the library...

Another Character

Fine, I totally admit it, and am not ashamed. My plot is going to parallel Dark Angel in so many ways except my main character is not someone grown, she is a human human without a bar code on the back of her neck and my thing will be totally clean.

Anyways. I have thought up another character. He is the one who saves Ava. However, I am not sure quite yet "who" he is. I feel kind of strongly against "rebellions"...

His name is Andrew and finds Ava when she has just been could-be-fatally stabbed by some of her enemies (she's got a lot of those) . Andrew saves her. *begins thinking* Maybe he could just be running from something and came across her right after whatever he did that made him wanted happens and there could be a dramatic chapter. *ninja* Oohoo, getting excited again...

*gulps* Only 1 week, 1 hour and 35 minutes until NaNo. (yes I did figure that in my head)

Wondering...

Should I fiddle and make this Blog look cool? er? I mean, if I have the template I could just pop in my own colors, my own banner, own fonts, etc., Hm...it's only going to be here for a month so I'm not sure yet..

Updates I guess

I can't wait for this to start. I'm still debating about either writing an outline or just writing "by the seat of my pants" I think was the saying. Most likely it isn't...oh well.

*insert sighing*

I've been wondering if there was any possibility of finishing ISOS and NaNo at the same time if they go on at the same time. . .hm...

Maybe Mangy will extend the deadline since so many people have signed up for NaNo.

Waiting...

Yup. Not much happening except just waiting for it to begin. I had this weird dream last night about being chased through Universal Studios by the security which happened to be my pastor's three 18 year old sons. And I was being chased for doing something "bad" and it was all over the news and I was wanted and everything. I think it turned out sort of violently...

Of course, I have been playing this scene with Ava over and over in my mind and so I am pretty sure that is where the dream originated. Of course, because I am afraid to show my evil side, I will not post the scene here or what I am thinking quite yet.

It's really funny, that Becky and I have both been told by our parents, "Why can't you write about butterflies or something?" hehe

Plot details

I was thinking of a Utopia. Set in future times. You know? Or maybe a Dis-Topia. *shrugs* I don't know.

*blink* Wow. All the thoughts I have had for this story parallel Dark Angel alot. But I don't care. *shrugs* Ava will be a real person not a grown weapon, and this future hopefully won't be too cliched.

Basically only SET in the future. But there are little cover-up type things. Example:

Someone dies in a mysterious way, well, Ava has this...talent for not being seen, she could write this down and keep it hidden away for the "precise moment" for it to be released. *shifty eyes* So, kind of like a true justice-fighter, but secret. She doesn't have any friends, she's anti-social, but I like her so far and I have yet even to write anything about her...hm...

Name

Her name shall be Ava I believe.

Plot

Well! Last night I landed on the first plot idea thanks to everyone's encouraging how it sounded the most interesting. I sense it will get about the mood of my AAP, because so far my main character is going to be, well not someone you would like just seeing walking down the side of the road.

Deciding whether to have a girl or a guy, but since my ISOS has just about fizzled out all ready and that is the first time I have tried to write by a guy's PoV...then maybe I should go for the girl's PoV.

Names. Most likely I'll bug Star for help with names, she always comes up with the perfect one!

Well, so last night I even thought of the first line I could write in my NaNo and decided a working title will be, "Mind's Eye."

I am really excited because I already love this new character I am developing in my head, even I have yet even to name her.

I am still debating if she will run into someone who could be a friend though...because she is a loner, and opposite of an albino. Almost, her skin tone is dark brown, but not black, her eyes are dark brown and her hair is black. She wears a grey sweater that has a turtleneck and black pants.

See? I even have her pictured in my head! That hasn't happened with a character...ever, except Jami from my SuNo.

I'm excited. :D

Plot Ideas; Random Thoughts

You know. I am sort of stumped on what to write about, at first after I registered my thoughts were along the lines of, "Why on earth did I sign up for this? I can't do it..."

Now? I'm excited! I ready to tackle the challenge! I mean, I can totally wait until November, because I'm not quite ready...Good thing I'm not taking Mock Trial this year...

Some plot ideas was I was thinking about were:

-Something along the lines of the Nightstalker show I never watch and never plan to watch without the supernatural stuff. Having a 1st person PoV of somene who secretly records mysterious happenings.

-Maybe a sappy romance novel I have been wanting to do.

-Maybe have it like keeping the journal of a writer. Not sure. These are mostly plot ideas that come to mind as I am currently typing.

-Maybe something deeper. Something I started to write but didn't come out. A 1st person PoV of a girl who records happenings in life. She talks about horrible things that have happened in her life, and what she has learned from them.

And...that's all I got at the moment.


Random: Who came up with the name "Blog"? What does it really mean? I know it's an online journal type thing, but still don't really get it. However so far Blogger has been the best one I have ever found. Go Mangy for introducing me! (even though not intentionally :P)

Ok. Off to practice piano, I'm done here for now.

Wow

A LOT of CPers have decided to joy this train of insanity. Still rally unsure about this. I haven't tackled a writing challenge like this before, and, well...I might end up wimping out, though I hope not.

School almost killed me this week, so...yeah.

But, here is to trying my best and not going into a hole of depression if I don't make it.

Can't believe I'm doing this

Agh! I have very low sense of self-confidence when it comes to doing this and my mom already seems worried I am going to fall behind in school because of this and all. *sighing*

Well, I hope I can do it...

Hehe, thanks a lot Mangy. :P

Only one month to plan and such. I think I should make an outline...
