Quote of the Day: You must stay drunk on fiction so reality cannot destroy you.
Day Number -6
Words: 0/50,000
Date: October 25

Hello, all
Why must Mondays be so infuriating?*ponders* maybe it's just because, well, it's the beginning of a new school/work week, we're all tired from the weekend, or we just generally love to hate Mondays.
First off: my friends and I had a crying session for one of our cats being hit by a car and, most probably, having to be put to sleep.
Secondly: I did not work on my novel at all today.
Thirdly: CLICK!

Hi, guys
I finished plotting the second part of my book yesterday evening, but (stupidly) didn't start the third part today. Oh, well -- I have Friday off this coming week. I downloaded and installed yWrite, which is pretty cool, and started plotting my chapters out. Downloaded AutoREALM -- a mapping program -- and began mapping out Agion.
AGION: a world hidden by Lacoula, a fog-like substance that human eyes can not see past. It's a circular sort of island with a hook-like peninsula at one side and three tall peaks -- Firedancer's Akikoi, Mount Sing, and Hayi Peak. The skies are the purest blue, and there are hundreds of flowers that don't exist in Talla'Vadie (the human world). 
However, AutoREALM isn't working for me. I need to find a new program....
...TTFN

30 Days and 30 Nights

National Novel Writing Month begins in November. For most people, you hear about it and smile and say, "I wish I could do that," or "Maybe someday.."
For thousands of teens, tweens, and children, National Novel Writing Month is more than just a smile and forget about it kind of thing. It's NaNoWriMo, where your goal is to write a novel between 12:00 midnight, the very first minute of November 1, to 12:00 midnight, the very last minute of November 30.
This, The Life of a WriMo, is going to document my 30 days as a first-time WriMo. 
Every day in November, my post will look something like this:

Quote of the Day: (insert Quote Here)
Day Number (insert number here)
Word Count: (number)/50,000
Date:

and then what has happened in my novel between the day before and when I post. 
After that, I'll probably chat about my day or something -- I haven't quite figured that out yet.
