Lots and Lots of.... Books
We are going through our collection of books and only keeping the books that we will read again. We haven’t gone through all of them yet, but so far we have about 8 1/2 shelves of books we are going to read, and about 6 boxes of books we aren’t going to read. We have 6 more boxes of books to go through and 6 or 5 empty shelves…

Blog
I decided I need to blog more often. I only seem to blog when funny or exciting things happen to me. So even if it’s boring to me, I’ll blog it. It might be funny to someone out there. First of all, is NaNoWriMo. I got a comment saying they wanted to read parts of my story. Well, here is a part that shows a little bit of what it is about.
Nicolas and I were the children of King Conner and Queen Audrey. We lived in the country of Jesico. It was tradition that when the king turned 65 years old, the prince became king. Then, the new king had to go into battle if a war was going on. King Connor’s 65th birthday was in a few days, and Nicolas was to go into battle as we were in war with the country Mehia. But everyone was sure he wouldn’t make it alive. Nicolas had a serious medical condition where if he was cut, the bleeding wouldn’t stop. His blood wouldn’t clot and stop the bleeding. There was no remedy for this illness. If he was cut in battle, he would more than likely bleed to death. Nicolas was my dear brother, I had looked up to him my whole life, he was my best friend, and he was the one I always turned to. If he died, I wouldn’t know what I would do. I would become queen, and I didn’t know how to run a country. I would probably lead the country into defeat, and we would have to surrender to the terrible, wicked Mehia. I would become a disgrace to our wonderful country that had been powerful ever since it was first started, which was more than a million year ago.Well, that’s all the time I have right now. Bye.

Michele just (last weekend) had me paint the bathroom pantone color of the year 2010. http://bit.ly/PanTone She’s so ahead of the curve.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This past weekend, I worked my heart, soul, mind and fingers out until I finished my story. And guess what? I did it!!!!!!!! I finished writing 10,000 words (in general words, a novel) in one month. Yes folks, one month. I thought it wouldn’t be impossible, but I guess not. But now I kinda sad it’s over ‘til next November. My parents won’t be letting me stay up late on the weekends to write until April, which is NaNoWriMo’s Script Frenzy Month, where I’ll be writing a play in one month. I think everyone (yes, all of you readers who claim that “you can’t write”) should try to do NaNoWriMo next year. It’s a good lesson on never giving up… Plus you get to amaze everyone that you wrote a novel in a month. :) Well, salutations! :)
