Camp NaNo Day 1

Today was day one of the April 2014 session of Camp NaNoWriMo. Last night, I stayed awake until roughly two o'clock. I got 1,232 words done before going to bed. At school I wrote about 300 (give or take) more.

Believe it or not, I am extremely tired. I am still a high school student, which means waking up in the wee hours of the morning (6:15) and going to prison (literally, everyone in my town hated my school when it was first built because it resembled a prison more-so than a school).

Favorite line written today:

Eris knelt down very low with her knee on Titan's back. Her lips were inches from his ear as she whispered the last line of the song: “And so, as it goes, it closed in on itself, never to see another star again.”

 I'm going to definitely write more later, but for now I need a nap.

NaNoNews

I was actually about to go to bed, seeing as to how it's nearly 1AM, but I decided to blog.

Okay, so I've decided that I will do Camp NaNo. I am going to be working on a story I have brewing called The Wrong Devices. It's a sci-fi fantasy about this guy named Titan, who is turned into an Otro--a servant--to the government and has to kidnap the Veret--the queen, essentally.

I've already written some of it--roughly 8,000 words--but I'm gonna try to hold off until April. I'm shooting for around 60,000 words, give or take a couple thousand.

I am off.

Neglect, Updates, and Camp NaNo

Story time:

So awhile back, somewhere around July-August of last year, I made the acquaintance of this wonderful, artistic, singing girl over the internet. I helped her work up the confidence to actually finish and like her first song, I helped her put together a Bandcamp profile (click here!) and I even worked with her to make some album art. She's a great photographer, and here are some of the ones I made:

both pictures taken by her and edited by me

She has four songs on her Bandcamp at the moment: covers of Across the Universe by the Beatles, Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation, and Brave as a Noun by Andrew Jihad. Her oldest song is an original, one that I am quite fond of.

Anyways, so why am I telling all of this? Because I was just editing her Bandcamp, and I remembered that I had a blog and that I should probably update it!

Anyways, I won NaNoWriMo 2013 by working on two stories. I got my original idea, which no longer exists in the word document due to immense hatred, and a co-write done. The co-write, which I absolutely had great amounts of fun writing and even cried a bit when it was done, will be available on Kindle soon! (Hopefully. I'm still a minor, so parental dictation and all that.)

Okay, so I completely forgot about NaNoWriMo. I've been writing somewhat a lot this year, but not much. I'm in a creative writing class, so that kind of helps. I'm not too sure if I'm up for this year's April session because school is so damn hard. I have, like, 3 Ds. We just started the last quarter and I have 3 Ds. (If it's any consolation, I also have 3 As and a B! ((Update: Just checked and saw I brought one of my Ds up to a pretty high C and that, in fact, one of my As disappeared. I am so confused.))

Anyways, that is all.

Update and Shit, Bro

So I kno;w I haven't been blogging lately; probably because I forgot that I even had a blog (And a Youtube channel). But I finished accomplishing a great feat this May. I entered a writing contest last year that's world-wide and accounts for over 1 billion (7th and 8th grade) entrants. I made it to the world competition, alogn with my friends Steven and Megan and my girlfriend Mackenzie. We were somewhere in the top 750 out of 1 billion.

After the 3 initial rounds of writing they called up the top 54 for each grade. Sadly I didn't make it there (omfg. a judge called my fantasy story unrealistic).

Anyways, I'm thinking about self-publishing my novel Night Watch with Lulu, on paperback and eBook (Although I really love hardback books).

So, anyways, I will be blogging regularly now.
