Some Quick Inspiration

It's hump day, woot! Or in my case, eek!! So much to do, so little time. Need more hours in the day or at least more coffee!


I have essays and projects and finals (oh my!) to be working on AND my NaNoWriMo novel is wayyyyyy behind.


BUT, I will get it done!!!

One cup of coffee at a time, I will conquer the world! HUZZAH! Or you know, I'll get my ish done. That's good right?


We have a support group facebook page for NaNoWriMo and someone posted this awesome picture that basically inspires me to do all the things :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Yeah, I'm gonna go write now ;)

Have a good rest of the week, lovelies!

Cats and Boyfriends and Novels

My house is freezing and I love it, however, my cat keeps leaving me to go snuggle with boyfriend! I'm on the couch now trying to write for NaNoWriMo, and it just isn't happening. I want to whine and procrastinate. I have no drive. I "say" I want to write, but it is just bleh. I'm SO behind on the word count because I have been busy with school and operas and boyfriend and then I'm just tired! I can't stay up super late unless it's like once a week. And I have to have nothing major in the next morning because I am uber zombie girl without sleep.
I just value sleep more than anything....breakfast, showers (jk), novels, homework...(again, just kidding).


How do YOU make yourself write everyday? I like my story but I am LAZY right now!


And I would rather watch youtube while snuggled on the couch than write.

Oh and the 4 cups of coffee today didn't help :(


Happy note- my cat is effing adorable! AND we made a fire last night and roasted marshmallows :) Then I passed out on the couch for approx and hour while the boyfriend watched things on youtube. I never even heard him.

SO, NOW I WILL WRITE...SERIOUSLY!!!

November Gratitude

Have you ever read "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp? It's a lovely book, and it will change your life. She introduced me to the concept of writing down gifts and constantly being thankful for everything. Well, as it is now November and the "thankful" month, I want to get back on track with counting gifts!!

Today I'm thankful for:

*new friends
*pumpkin spice latte
*music
*free candy
*fresh fruit
*the passion to write
*the passion for music
*passion for God
*frustration that gets my rear into productive action
*NaNoWriMo
*squirrels
*walks outside
*hugs


What are you grateful for?

NaNoWriMo Gal

Yup. I'm gonna write. This might seem crazy considering I'm a fulltime college student AND I can't even blog regularly these days. WELL, I need a release, a source of creativity that isn't academic. So I am going to write a novel. It's for me. Sound selfish? I might be. But hopefully this will be a wonderful experience.

It's November ya'll. National Novel Writing Month.

In other news...
20 days left til I go home for Thanksgiving; so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, time to write ;)
