A new novel begins...

Yay!...

No fooling...

Hey!  I'm a Camp NaNoWriMo participant again this year!  It's similar to NaNoWriMo except a bit more flexible in word count and format.  Last year I wrote a 100 page script.  This year I am going to write a short story...a horror story!  I am very excited!  My goal is 11,000 words.  Wish me luck universe!

I did it!!...

So true...

This was on the NaNoWriMo site today.  It made me laugh.

p.s.  My word count is in the light blue box to the right-->

All the words!...

Write-a-thon 11/9/13 

starting word count: 6,038

ending word count: 10,141

4,103 words!

Hear ye! Hear Ye!...

It's a prince!

I'm so happy for the royal family!

Why am I not British?!

Go Blackhawks!...

The Stanley Cup finals start tonight.  In honor, here's one of my favorite Blackhawks related memories...

Growing up my dad would get hockey tickets from time-to-time.  I loved being at the games...the sounds, the excitement, the Zamboni.  I had all sorts of Hawks stuff.  One of my favorites was pajamas.  

Dad was a true morning person and I have never been a morning person.  Every morning I would shuffle past where my dad was sitting at the breakfast table.  He'd say 'good morning' in a far too cheerful voice and me, eyes barely open, would raise my hand in the slightest of acknowledgment.

One morning, as a I shuffled by in my Blackhawks pajamas, my dad let loose with a spirited "Here come the Hawks...the miiiiighty Blackhawks!"  Despite the early hour I actually smiled.

this is a cool video of old footage and the snazzy 'here come the Hawks' song!

Ta-da!!...

On my way to 100...

This is the final stretch of Script Frenzy!  I went some days with no pages but I am determined to make it to 100 pages by midnight on April 30!  Instead of individual posts I will keep updating here.

I did it!

50 pages down, 50 pages to go!!!...

64 pages to go!...

70 pages to go!!!...

by the way:  none of these number images are mine...thank you google images

82 pages to go...

90 pages to go!!...

I finally started my script...

95 pages to go!

Script Frenzy...

(finding the perfect cat photo is easier than actually starting my script...oops!)

This is not a joke!!!...

So, yes, it is April 1st but this isn't a joke!  This month I am writing a 100 page script!  

Jem and I are participating in Camp NaNoWriMo...a somewhat flexible spin-off of NaNoWriMo that we completed in November.  Our choice for the month is script writing.  This month was formerly called Script Frenzy but was changed to accommodate other genres.  We prefer the Script Frenzy name and I will probably use that in my posts.

Wish us luck!

I.am.not.sleepy...

Stupid time change...

It's been a while...

I had something to blog but then forgot...oops!  It's been a long time so I thought I'd better post something.

*rummages through mind*

Ah, here's something.  One of my blog posts was posted on our church's website!!  I feel published!!  Here's a link in case you want to join in on the excitement:  Lookee! I'm famous!

Jonathan also wrote something for the church site:  Jonathan is famous too!!

And now for something random:
