OMG!!! Today, November 19th, 2010, Harry Potter 7 (the first half) opened in theatres. I am BIG Harry Potter Nerd...although not quite as big as one of my best friends, so I went to the midnight premier. Compared to past movies, for example the 6th one, this movie adaptation was pretty accurate, albeit there was things left out, which is to be expected. I'm just glad that they didn't add much that wasn't in the book. Did i mention it was Amazing?!?!?! lol I cried at the end when Dobby died, it was so terrible.....unfortunately I know that it only gets worse in the second half of the book. :( Although I don't want Harry Potter to end, I am SUPER excited for July. It will be really sad though, because it will be the end of an era; i mean, i essentially grew up with Harry Potter and after Part 2, there'll be nothing to look forward to. At least the written word lasts and I will ALWAYS have my HP books. <3

National Novel Writing Month
Hello people,
so on October 31, I signed up to participate in this year's NaNoWriMo contest. This is where authors (old and new) all over the world attempt the finish a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. This is a huge task, I know, but my friend kept asking me about it and she asked me last year to, so I thought I might as weel try for it. I know that several people have said that this goal is ridiculous and mostly I agree. I think the idea of forcing oneself to write and especially write based on wordcount is a stupid idea. And yet, I find myself doing just that. I beleive I have been sucked into the tornado that is NaNoWriMo and so far besides freaking out becuase I'm behind, it's been somewhat enjoyable. I feel like by forcing myself to sit down and try to get so far each day, I am actually progressing...which is a releif since its taken me six years to reach 30,000 words on my other novel. :) Anyway, hopefully I'll post excerpts from the story...anybody who actually read this please feel free to criticize (constructively of course!) in order that I can get some feedback as I write. Well, I must dash....lots of typing and creative expressing to do!
pray for my insane self in this hour of gravest self-torture...lol
