A Few Days, Just A Few Days

That's what I keep telling myself at least.  It's kinda hard when you're really excited however.  I mean, who can blame me?  I'm a writer.  Sure, I'm a student in college and that stuff is important, but writing is something...it's something key to my life.  It keeps me sane.  And yes I do mean that.  Writing is the perfect outlet.  That and I love just being able to do whatever.  I love being able to have some kind of control since me and control usually don't know each other, well...at all.  It's a simple fact of life.  That's why me and writing get a long so wonderfully.  And in five days, is NaNoWriMo.  Those of you who know it either think I'm insane or are right there with me.  That is another simple fact of life.

But I'm really excited.  I have my plot thought up.  At least the beginning.  And I have several characters though most of them are just kind of...well...they're more names than anything let's face it.  I mean they have positions in life, but that's about it.  I have no idea what kind of people they are, what they look like, none of it.   I just know why I need them in the story.

Though I have one far more serious problem.  My space key.  It keeps being evil.  I want to strangle it.  After all, if my words are sticking together, how can I properly number them?  Maybe death...naw, I probably just need to use some cotton swaps or something to clean out the junk under/around the keys.  I know that *sighs* I just really don't wanna >.<  I am such a bum.  It's terribly pathetic sometimes.  Like right now I should be working on reading through an assignment for a test.  Instead, I'm rping, playing on the NaNo forums and writing up this blog entry.  Yeah, definitely bum status.

Despite my bum status however, I still have my wonderful boyfriend.  And he is wonderful!  He's really sweet, great sense of humor, and he's doing NaNo too.  It's epic!  He's going more the fantasy route however which makes me uber jealous.  I love doing fantasy, but I'm trying to be good and write a novel that's strictly realist.  Yeah, it's gonna be hard for me.  I'm not a realism person.  I can be, never doubt it, I just happen to enjoy fantasy a lot more.  Especially when it's done right.  I have my opinions on fantasy, but I can mess with those later.  For now, I'll sign off and tell myself to study: a.k.a.- continue to mess around.
