There we go. That's everyone who has at least had a few sentences to their part. :P

So I've been feeling nauseous for the past 5+ hours...on and off. and have a headache. and my eyes are being sensitive to light. which make writing hard. and with the headache comes to nausea. So if I quit and go to bed, I think I would be better. Except for the fact I still need to write at least 2.7k. I shall. buahaha.

end of update.

So. Lemme see. it is now Day 6 of NaNoWriMo and I hit 10k at Cafe Valentino. A creepy little cafe that I had heard was sooo nice. However even though mom and I went in, were very quiet, bought an expensive (but realllllyyyy good) sandwich, an ice coffee and such, I still felt like the owner didn't want us there. I looked over once and he was staring at me. O_O Or I just have bad timing and he was merely looking out the door. :oops: Oh well. Still really creepy...not going back there.

PLUS SIDE!! There is a Panera's about five or so minutes from where I go to school! Woohoo! School is a half hour away, but oh well. So mom and I are planning to go over there for an hour or so after school to work. :) Which makes me very happy. in fact, we were going to go there today, but here was the conversation from last night:

Me: Mom, can we go to Panera's tomorrow?
Mom: Um...I'm not sure. Because we'll have to come all the home from school, pick up Christine, and it will take a while, but we don't need to pick up Andrew anymore. Though then your other class is 45 minutes away. But we might be able to make it. Um. I don't think so...too far, and going back and forth...

*next day*

*a quarter of the way to school*
Mom: Did you bring your laptop?

*headdesk* Oh well. It was amusing. :P

NaNo Update now!

Yesterday I had to cram for Algebra, worked on it for 6 hours *cringe* ugh...and it was 12:30am by the time I finished. But I wrote for another hour and managed to write about 2k!! *pom poms* Which was exciting.

So...I think I'm finally back up where I want to be. :) And it is for some reason, a lot easier thus far this year. Hm...

Anywho, off to call Lissi now! hopefully...and then work on my neglected homework due tomorrow.

WOOT! I am so psyched for tonight! Its already almost 1am...*sheepish grin* however I'm having SO much fun right now. ^_^ Especially considering how worried I was earlier about not having a plot that well set out.

Unfortunately I accidentally started writing it in third person...:ninja: Oh well, I have a plan to fix that. :6: Without it requiring any re-writers ever.

And a title! I have a title. "Beyond the Night" I explain it in the beginning of my NaNo, and unfortunately have way too much fun rambling on that...

anywho.

Word Count:
12:56AM - 869
1:00AM - 957 (pathetic, I know)
1:04AM - 1,099
1:15AM - 1,355
1:23AM - 1,565
1:31AM - 1,739
1:40AM - 1,951
1:43AM - 2,003

Ok. I have school tomorrow. *whistling* So...off to bed with me!! night ya'll. :)

...another update like thing.

So Pyrlin will not be a narrator, but a guide. When the author (only referred to as Author in her mind, she doesn't have a name) enters the coma, she arrives in a large cavern. Laying on top of a crystal clear lake filling a seeming-ly bottomless abyss. There is no way in or out.

As Author awakens, and finds herself basically walking on water, she realizes she is dry, and attempts to stand and suceeds.

She glances around, and sees a light shining into the center of the cavern, but the ceiling is too high to really figure out where it comes from.

Pyrlin appears from under the water, with a Greek-style dress and walks over to the Author.

She fills Author in on the place, and what has happened and pulls her under the water. Author finds she CAN breathe, and there are numerous tunnels in the walls of the cavern under the water.

Along with a beam of light shooting out from the "bottom" of the lake that aligns with the one from the ceiling. Pyrlin pulls Author away from the beam, and they enter a tunnel.

These tunnels are different roads to different plots, different stories, as Pyrlin shows Author over the Author's own imagination.

The light from the bottom and top of the chasm is a door to the un-founded plots. Which Author will be taken to last.

These plots range from serious and dark to silly and utterly insane.

The characters she meets in her stories all give her a bit of reality, and she needs to collect all the pieces of reality from her mind before she can wake from her coma. And from then on, she finds the balance between her own world, and reality.

AHEM! So, since I have talked about using all my characters. Here shall be-ith my listing that may constantly get added to...so, refer back here if you want to learn about the insanity that exits the mind of an m&m.

Lots more...but can't remember at the moment. -.-

The ECOS, otherwise known as the "evil chickens from outer space," came to me in a dream last night. (It's all wert's fault, I'm sure of it)

Here is the memo written down earlier today:

Evil chickens from outer space come through doors with wooden arrow signs next to them with the person they are supposed to drag into a bush by stickyhand.

Residence: Eagle Nebula - http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/skyimage/m16label.jpg
Method of Attack: A sticky hand beamed up from the 25 cent machines in grocery stores. The ECOSes lash out their stickyhand from the security of their bush and slap it on the helpless victim, dragging them into the bush. Never to be seen again.
ECOSes Weakness: Chicken strips.

More updates on the ECOS among other regions to come....

Ahha! So, a sub-plot...thingie is gonna be that two of these characters who I run into are complete opposites. And characters I hadn't consciously created yet. One will live in a world where the inhabitants are ruled by emotion. And another will live in a world that is emotionless. Along with mostly colorless.

However...I kinda need to make these charries first. I actually don't think they will be narrating the story. The thing I am currently using as an avvie (the blue girl) I think might be the narrator.

I have a tendency to write in the fashion of the book I'm reading, which at the moment is The Inferno by Dante Alighieri. And that is the story of Virgil taking Dante through Hell. Written by Dante's first person pov, but Virgil being the guide.

I may do something like that...it might be fun. :)

Yay. I think I am finally overall finished with tweaking this template to my liking. yay.

Anywho! I am beginning to wonder if I am even brave enough to do NaNoWriMo this year. Because my self-confidence levels plummet (and they can't get much lower) when I can't complete something. And I had a meeting with an admissions lady yesterday for a college. And I need to attempt to make a 4.0 GPA plus get a 1290? on my SAT and such if I want to get a scholarship >< So. I am going to work my tail off in school and such.

Plot! Well. There...um...isn't much of...one. teehee. *blush* Lamb gave me a plot actually. She said to write a story involving every character I can remember writing, therefore I would at least have no lack of plot. :P

I think it is going to be about an author who gets into an accident and slips into a coma. and meets her characters face to face, and they help her find her way out of the coma...? Oh I don't know. I think its gonna be one of those "spur of the moment" sort of things. That it won't make any sense 'til I go back and edit it and such...

...I emerge victorious. Took about 4 hours of fighting with HTML and looking for a blasted template that would work, but I did it. ^^ Thanks to Em's encouragement and giving input on what she liked and didn't like.

Anywho. Enough of hte war story.

NaNoWriMo approaches! Everyone sharpen your quills and...erm. charge your laptops. woohoo. there's a time change for ya.
