I Have My Life Back!

I have Won NANOWRIMO!!!!! Yes, first year doing National Novel Writing Month and I won with 50,245 words and I will add some more in a few moments.

The novel isn't finished but I have a good skeleton to work on and if the luck holds, you will see "Cars don't go right" in the bookshops in a couple of years.

It's been tough going this November, because what a month it was.
I rediscovered by passion for fashion, in urban design.
Directed a production for the Drama society.
Kept up with mo college work, work, social life, love life (inconsistent as usual but it was quite a whirlwind around the start of November)
Got published in the UNI publication, and got granted a regular column but the the editor turned out a lying ADD bastard...
Kept up with photography and all.
(Off to print stuff for the Art Week Exhibition next week)
and did so much other things that made this the best, even if the busiest month in my entire life.

I LOVE YOU NANO!

Ugh, it's such a relief to be finished. I'm in a much better writing mood when I'm actually done with the: "Kill yourself to produce high word counts" thing.
Anyway, off to get those prints sorted and have some me time. (about five whole minutes of me time)

I've been enjoying life, but have you?

New surge of freedom and free time and other things has been amazing. I feel great.
Been doing a good few things as well.

I'm happy.

Are you?

I'm getting there with NaNo, even though there is still a long way to go, but I'm not really here to talk about myself.
What I'm enquiring about is you.
How have you been?
Tell me something.
Anything really, get something off your chest, whatever it may be, whatever you need to unload.

By the way, has anyone seen New Moon yet?


Art, Fashion and the Artistic _{businesswoman} :

Also, I'm thinking about compiling a calendar for 2010. A flower one. Would you be interested in buying it if I managed to get it out on time?

Shoe and t-shirt samples will be up in a month or less, I'll take orders from then on.


NANOWRIMO FACTS:

Crisis: One. When I realised I can't actually write the novel I wanted to in one moth and that some Lit.Fiction really depresses me sometimes.

Plots: Two. The first one which I couldn't write under these conditions but to which I will get back eventually.
And another one which has the same underlying ideas and principles as the first one, but the characters in this one are younger, just as messed up and are much more fun to play around with. [yes, I will ruin, rebuild and maybe ruin again, a lot of lives before the 30th of November.]

Disadvantages: Two. Insanely hectic schedule [I get questioned WHY I do this a lot, and how the hell I CAN do this, even more often.], and as ~Malilk pointed out, the fact that everyone else probably started way before the 1st of November.

Wordcount: a little over 24, 000.

Wordcount aim: 50,000 before the end of week.

Since everyone is posting Halloween entries, I won't.

Just to keep the individualistic twist on things. Starting the novel on Sunday, and going to a party tomorrow. Shall abuse my rights as an 18 year old, and put on a cool (and sexy) outfit and will have lots of fun to make up for lost time.

And what have you been up to recently?

...would take away my camera and grant me life sentence in some hell hole of a jail because I'm a fucking idiot.
I just WAITED through THE best picture of this autumn. You know the one that has a different angle, kick-ass composition and an interesting focus? And to top it all off, pretty much the best exposure, iso and other settings I've ever pulled off? So basically the kind of picture I've never taken before. It would also would have captured how much I improved (or in this case, didn't since the pic doesn't actually exist because like a dumb-ass lowlife amature that i am, i didn't press the fucking button...) and how my style changed in a year, what i am aiming for now...

The damn truck not only slowed down for me just in the right place, it stoped in the perfect place, so i didn't have to move around, all i had to do was press the fucking button...!!! and i didn't i wanted to get a clean pic, without any civilised crap in it. and then when the car was pretty much gone, the image that i've seen through the camera actually reached my brain, i've been kicking myself ever since. because i fucking earned it.

the only damn reason why i come out with this half-decent stuff sometimes is because i've been blessed with an amazing camera. my nikon d60 actually sets the level of lowness i can achieve. shit. my space 'hotographers/posers' would probably do better than me if they had a camera like that.

yeah, i deserve to be shot or something...

and yeah, don't stop me from banging my head off the damn table. i can only increase my iq that way, i mean i can't go any fucking lower...
