WAIT! Don't kill me yet!!

Okay, please I beg that you hear me out before you come at me with swords drawn, lightsabers ignited, bows held at the ready etc.
My life has been crazily wild and what little free time I've had I've either been reading or writing. But I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in like a month. I don't really have any excuses that would cover that.

I have decided that November is both the most terrifying and most wonderful time of the year. And no, I don't mean just because it's cold weather and that I'll get to stuff myself on fabulous foods during Thanksgiving. 
I'm talking about... *cue long, tense music for suspense* National Novel Writing Month. *GASPS OF HORROR*
I've never participated in the challenge before. But I decided to take it up this year.
You all know about my book Twelve Blades Of War. I'm happy to report that it has grown to the surprising amount of 11625 words. I've never been a very motivate writer. It's like, "okay. Story idea. Lets see how much I can do before I'm bored with it." up until now. I've always wanted to be a big writer, but I was bored with my stories before I got the first chapter down. Yeah, I know. It's very sad. So many ideas have died. *cries as I walk through the graveyard of buried hopes*
So this is really a huge thing and a great motivation for me. I'm actually writing a novel! That thought alone has been stunning. It's been on my bucket list to write a book before I turned 16. I am actually doing this. AHHHHH!!!!!!

But yes. Other than making my brain shriek of overuse and trying to get ideas from reading, and of course school, I have no excuse for completely abandoning you guys. 
Strike me down if you may, but I'm asking for your forgiveness. It up to you to steady your hand or let all of your dissapiontment loose.

Haha, I love you guys:)

    2. Hmm. Are you using the adult/high school website or the kids one? I use the kids one, just because I get to choose what I want my word goal to be. :)

    4. Wow! I love my story, but I don't think I could stretch it to 50,000 words. I'm wondering if I can even get 30,000. ;)
