... and about 30 minutes. But I'm just sooo excited - maybe excited enough to stay up half the night writing. I'm pretty sure Xyssify won't though, because she's got school tomorrow. (I'm on break until Tuesday, which is niiice :)) I finally found out what I wanted to write about yesterday, so I've got the major plot under control now. I've just gotta make myself a more precise timeline of the novels events and then I'm set.
I'm really curious as to how it'll go though, because I've never written anything this big in English before. Not to mention that my vocabulary is quite poor, but I hope that I'll at least manage to get myself through those 50 K words without any brain-breakdowns (I can picture myself rolling on the floor while mumbling weird stuff about my characters while trying to rip my hair out already)
Well, in 5 hours the writing-frenzy begins. It might get crazy!

Preparing for Nano
Two days left, today and tomorrow, and I'm so hyped :3
Amanda has been working on this blogg, fixin' the sidebars and stuff, the only thing I did was writing about myself... And writing this post of course ^^
I'm still in the planning stage... And with planning I'm of course talking about reading every single post on nano's forum. Or watching Game of Thrones (I've already seen every episode... twice... Nerd warning ^^). But I mean, there's still time. Two days. It's like an eternity.
Amanda mentioned that I had kinda, almost a plot. I do, I do. It's just that I don't know if I CAN write what I'm planning to write. If the mayor events are possible, or if I would babble about laws and environments that doesn't even exist. Man, fantasy is easier that way... And I'm still not sure about alot, and it just feels like I'm taking on a bit too much with trying to do this (for me) new genre while I'm trying to write 50k words in 30 days. Maybe I should change the plot. Maybe I should change the genre. It's just that I don't have any other good ideas...
I'm also prepering for the Nano otherways. Like stocking up with chocolate and other sweets, still trying to find te (why aren't there any good types of te here in Germany?), or atleast sending my mom to find it, and prepering the music. Music is important when I write. The right kind of music blocks out the rest of the world and gives me ideas for plots, dialogues and moods. Of course, when I'm having writers block (a.k.a. to ashamed over my writing to continue) I'll just end up singing along if the music has lyrics, so I avoid that sort of music when my brain is going on writing strike. I usually end up listening to Vangelis, or the soundtrack to movies and games.
If anyones out there is reading this, are you doing the Nano's this year? Are you looking forward to it? And do you listen to music when you're writing? Do tell, I would love some comments (pwetty please?)
All from me I guess, see ya.

Ploting Plots
It's now... two days? Or three? left until NaNoWriMo officially starts and all the writers are supposed to start writing like crazy. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of authors/people out there that are going crazy waiting for that day, but in the meantime - we've got a problem over here.
I can't think of anything to write! Really it's just catastraphos and really bad of me, I know. But as much as I'm really, really excited over this (and I am, believe me) I'm also really, really stuck. It's not like a complete case of writers block, because I do have some flighty ideas of what I want to write and a couple of properly developed plot-lines already sketched upon - but it just doesn't feel quite right.
If I'm going to spend a whole month on this story, writing about 120 pages, then it needs to be good. Or really bad, the quality doesn't really matter. But it has to be a story I like writing, right? Or else I'll just have my little Guilt Monkey laughing at me while she finishes her project brilliantly and makes it into the hall of fame, probably getting published and then winning the Nobel-prize. Or something like that. (We wish, haha)
Speaking of the other Guilty Monkey (Xyssify) I think she has some ideas on what she wants to write at least. She showed me some storylines two days ago, but she doesn't seem to be sure about it. (Right now I'm secretly happy about being as far behind when it comes to a plot as she is, but don't tell her!) Anyways, wish us good luck - that would be nice - and I hope your NaNoWriMo-novel is going great. If you have one, that is.
Hugs and kisses (or something like that)
