National Novel Writing Month


I finished with 50,259 words, and while I'm fairly sure it's utterly unreadable, I'm proud of myself for writing it. I wasn't sure I had it in me, but I'm glad to find that I did. It's a little bit silly, but I really feel like I accomplished something--and 3 days before the deadline!

Not only that, but this helped me prove to myself that I am capable of writing longer pieces, and it got me into the habit of writing regularly. I've rediscovered over the past month just how much I enjoy writing, and how much I've missed doing it when I haven't been able or willing to make the time for it. And I also surprised myself by not being so critical of my own work; it was invaluable to me to realize that not everything I write has to be perfect the first time through.

As Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The first draft of anything is sh*t."

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

The Northeast
The Midland
The South
The Inland North
Boston
The West

Subject:Because Jenny now has me in love with Grey's Anatomy...
Time:11:32 pm.
Then there's the school of thought that says the family you're born into is simply a starting point. They feed you and clothe you and take care of you until you're ready to go out into the world... and find your tribe. -- Dr. Meredith Grey




I miss my tribe.

Subject:A miscellany...
Time:10:18 am.
Courtesy of Roger's profile: Ways In Which Spider-Man Does Not "Do Whatever A Spider Can." The last one is my particular favorite.

Courtesy of me clicking "More Lists": Alternatives, Should You Not Like PiƱa Coladas and Getting Caught in the Rain.

You should click More Lists too; there's a little something for everyone. ;)

In other news, we just got new phones for the house (not that I ever really use the land line anyway...), and I am quite enjoying the fact that mine plays Fur Elise when it rings.

There are lots of other things going on (mostly in my head) at the moment, but, as usual, I'm feeling unmotivated and incapable of articulating them.

So you get this instead, and I get to go run errands.

Subject:I like this.
Time:8:58 pm.
Sofia Coppola
Your film will be 62% romantic, 30% comedy, 26% complex plot, and a $ 24 million budget.
Relatively inexperienced (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation) as a director, but already highly respected and connected -- her dad, Francis, directed all The Godfather movies, Apocolypse Now. Also, at last word she's dating Quentin Tarantino, so I'm sure he'll have some input into the substance of your film. Sofia's good at making the romantic drama that is your life. Who didn't have at least a lump in the throat at the end of Lost In Translation? She's already won one Academy Award for her writing, now she'll be the first woman to receive one for directing -- YOUR FILM!

Your Libra Drinking Style

"I'm jusht a social drinker," you slur, "it's jusht that I'm so damn social?"
You love nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone.
Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (you are little instigators when bored), you can really work a room.

Charming as you are, you are notoriously lacking in self-control.
And this can get you into all sorts of trouble -- including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening.
You may end up flirting with you best friend's sweetie or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!
Your Signature Cocktails
Aesthetic Libras like pretty, pouffy drinks like a pink lady or a brandy Alexander. That's the influence of Venus, your ruling planet, which also gives you a horror of crudely named potions like Sex on the Beach. You're fine with "normal" guzzles like apple martinis, but every Libra secretly just wants champagne... and lots of it.
Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies
Eminem, Simon Cowell, Avril Lavigne, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Hillary Duff, and Will Smith.

Subject:why is it that song lyrics can explain me better than i can??
Time:7:10 pm.
Mood: exhausted.
"cuz you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
life's like an hourglass glued to the table
no one can find the rewind button now
so cradle your head in your hands and breathe
just breathe

there's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
cuz you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
and these mistakes you make, you'll just make them again
if you only try turnin' around..."









...and i still haven't found what i'm looking for...
