A few things I have done and learned this month

Now officially halfway through my novel, I can just barely see the end of my novel. I actually have two plots, not sure which is the B plot exactly since they are so intertwined. Currently I have 25,416 words 108,100 characters (as in letters and such) 3558 lines, 78 pages, and 1,317 paragraphs. My spell and grammar checker has been turned off, and I have only showered three times in the past fifteen days. I have managed one Vlog, possibly another to come soon, have dyed my hair a very dark brown, worn black nail polish, and had far too much coffee.

I've been up until at least one everynight, not just because I write late, but because I then stay up thinking about what to do next. I have gone through about five songs where I listened to one song for several hours on repeat. And I have written more in the past fifteen days then I did all summer on "Crash" (In an unrelated not my most popular youtube video [ma ya hi allen and craig show] also hit three thousand hits!)

Things I have learned, the second week is pure pain. You think that all you have is crap, but already on week three I am starting to love my novel again :-) I have also learned that when a bunch of your friends have your back you know that even if you fail they will make fun but still love you for trying. I have learned that its ok to change your plot within the first ten pages. It works out better. I learned that sometimes characters you thought were important really arn't. I learned that while I might really want to kill a character they are vital to the story and can't die until the sequal. And Finally I have learned that without God I wouldn't have the ability or hope to even get where I have gotton.

That is all my readers! Rest assured you will get a copy of my manuscript eventually. Some earlier than others depending on if you are in it and how much I like you :-)
