November 6th, 2009
Decided to post to let you all know I'm still alive (And swamped with hw and projects- thanks for caring Sultani!)
But thankfully it's the weekend!
Do any of you guys know about NaNoWriMo? National Novel Writing Month?
You basically try to complete a 50k Novel in a month!
That's write! (hehe)
50,000!
I joined it this year and I'm about 6,000 words behind so far (trying to get 1,000 a day but I'm leaving it all for the weekend -cringe-)
I love writing and reading, but the irony is that I never finish what I start.
I usually have stories that I stop halfway due to lack of interest or I get so caught up in the non-fiction world that it eventually gathers dust in my inventory.
I started this one novel a year ago and I'm still trying to work on it but on NaNoWriMo I started a whole 'nother novel.
yeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh
So if you wanna join (not too late! Just a couple days behind) go to the link or check out other people's stories on there.
Writing, for me, is a great outlet and insha'Allah I can win this year! (By win, I mean actually get to 50,000 words. Currently: 1,200 :[ )
And that's a brief update. I'll discuss something 'brainy' later.

MashaAllah sounds pertty cool:)
Wish you the best of luck!
Smile.
Shoot! I wanted to do it, but I don't have any ideas for it. I might try tonight and see what I come up with (I haven't written in ages).
I heard about the challenge on November 2nd I think and figured I was not too late and I joined. But then I realized I have no idea what to write about, but I started something anyway. I have like 2000 words or so, but I'm not sure where I'm going with it. And I have so little time to write! I did these 2000 words at work between calls (the time I usually use for reading blogs).
Good luck with your novel! You can do it!
Thanks you guys! I hope you all did so much better than me!
I FAILED. Epically! :[
