Another Cell Phone Post

I don't have my words yet, so I can't sit down at the computer. Yet. I have about...900 more words to write today. I got a late start, and I was up later than my new usual last night, so I'm having a bit of a hard time. I had an idea off of the NaNo boards though. Someone bought the Lord of the Rings soundtrack to listen to. I have the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks for the first and third movies on my computer through some boring story that I won't bore you with. Anyway, I like to write to them, but it never crossed my mind to get MORE soundtracks. Anyway, I'll have to see about picking some more up. I can write fine most of the time with music with words, but the soundtracks are there to make certain feelings for movies, so its better when you're writing a scene in a book. I think. Actually, LotR WOULD be a good soundtrack...

Time To Organize!

I really think starting school and having that big schedule change - maybe combined with my brother going off to college - has messed with my mind. I'm not talking about organizing my room or anything (though I do want to do that), but I want to go through my blog and make sure all of my posts are in categories so posts are easier to find. Also, I've been thinking about finding some ways to increase traffic on this thing. It's not really that important, but it would be nice to have feedback once in a while. And for that I need people to read my blog, so...yeah. Anyway, I'll probably be doing some research on traffic increasing stuff and trying a few little ideas of my own. And that's all for now!

Blog Searching...

Yesterday I was thinking of changing to a different blog website thing. Whatever you call those...hosts! That's it. Anyway, I don't know what I think about anything anymore right now. Some of the different ones are cool, but I don't know if I really want to switch over. Of course I would continue this blog over there. Anyway, I decided I'm not switching right now. I might at another time, but not right now.

Um...yesterday we didn't have piano lessons, and it messed me up a bit. Mostly because I had my day planned out for 11 or 12 hours at the church, from 10 to probably about 10, but as it went I only had to be there at 1:30. It's a long story that I'm not going to ramble about right now because it's just not very fun.

Anyway, on a happier subject, I got my words done today! And I don't have anything to do really today besides school and stuff which is normal. So yeah...and tomorrow's Saturday which is nice, and I don't think I have that much to do. Which is always nice.

More NaNo Planning

And this time from a cell phone! So sorry for the lack of proper breaks and such. I might get on later and put them in. Maybe. Anyway, i settled on a to-do list for what i need to do. I've numbered them so they're easier to read, but bear in mind this is in on particular order: 1. Finish fleshing out plot. 2. Write backstories for MCs. 3. Worldbuild more. 4. Get organized with notes and schedule an such. 5. Get munchies. 6. Arrange for lucky stars. Some of those will have to wait until later of course, but there's still plenty to do before November comes around. I'm going to pretend I have readers again and ask you how your preparations are coming. And if you think I missed something that I need to do, please mention that too. See y'all!

Planning for November

Or plotting (muahahahaha!), as some like to call it, is going well right now. Today I'm starting school (I love being homeschooled, it gives me more free time to write), so I might not be able to do everything as well, but I got up early and did my writing on my neo in my room. I have a desk in there...I wonder what it's for? Duh. Someone bop me on the head and tell me I could've had a V8 please. Anyway, I haven't done anything lately, but I wanted to make sure I had posted that I got my idea at the end of June. Since then it's fleshed out quite nicely, and I'm already seeing subplots when I usually just stumble into them. Of course, if I don't add them in as I write or something else pops up, it's not a huge deal. I need to make sure my characters have a lot of personality, since I'm doing multiple first-person POV again this year. I loved doing it last year, even with all six of my MCs, but this year I only have three. It's not that I found six so much to manage, but three is all I needed this time around. In any case, my characters need to have their voices already ringing in my head by the time November starts.

That being said, I don't actually have my plot fleshed out from beginning to end. I have the bare-bones outline, with the very basics of what I want to happen. This year I feel like fleshing out a bit more before November for two reasons: One, I have more time; Two, I want to see how it works for me. If I do better with this tighter plot (which still isn't very tight), I'll try and do it more often. If I do better with the plot I had last year, being extremely loose, I'll go with that. But whatever direction my story goes, I hope I can just go with the flow and let things run their course. I'm not going to hold too tight to this plot, if my story wants to change I'll let it. I like having surprises, and hopefully they'll all be pleasant.

Let's see, what else is going on...well, I need to be actually starting school (it's almost 1:00 already)...oh! Tomorrow is going to be my busy day. I'm going to be gone from home virtually from 10 in the morning until something like 9 or 10 at night. Fun. I'll probably use my phone to send in a post while I'm waiting, and if I keep this up I might actually get into the habit of posting in this thing! -gasp-

Idea!

Yes, this is also from my cell. Anyway, I saw a thread on the nano forums for people who might try nano with their phones. I just thought that maybe I could do a blog of my nano to keep track of wordcount, and then I would proceed to write a novel on a cell phone. It's a thought, I don't know if I want to do it for NaNo though.

Trying Something Else New.

This time it's not a laptop thing though. I noticed that blogger offers a cell phone posting thing. I think I had seen it before, but I didn't have a phone. Anyway, thats what I'm posting from now. As for my writing, which is actually my theme of my blog, I got my August goal done of 62k. Saturday I only wrote like 416 words, and i ended up giving myself the day off. NaNoWriMo prep is going well, my only concern is that I'll run out of steam before November comes around. So I'm in no hurry to get this stuff done. There's plenty to do though. Anyway, sorry there's no paragraphs, but I can't put them in this kind of post. But what do you think of this method? I'm asking my non-existant reader base, just for fun.
