Arianna's Blog for the 18th of November

Hello. x3 I haven't written a blog in so long - that's because it's Nano.

Anyway, I finished my second story today. It's just over 50,000 words, and I HATE it. Like, literally, HATE it. It sucks. But anyway, I'm done with it now. I have an awesome new futuristic novel which I'm going to write, and it's going to be really cool.

Hmm, let's see. I'm a failure. You see, I got 86% on my science test. That's a 7, but, my average is like, 96%. So that basically makes the whole thing really, really, bad. xP And then, I got 95% on my math test. And my average there was 100%, so yeah. I'm a failure, as already stated.

I have a half day tomorrow, but it's really just a scam. You see, we get off at lunch time. And we have five lessons before lunch, and two lessons after. So all that I'm missing is PE and German. But then again, they are my least favorite classes...

Err.. D: I forgot my homework diary today! And it was just sitting on my desk at home, and I thought I lost it! That wan't good... But I survived, I guess.

I added something to TA (hint: coins and cash are pretty awesome ), so if you're a member there, you should check it out. I've also been working on my other part of the site. It's sort of 'not open to public', but there's a link on the word count thread if you're that interested.

There's not much else to say. I have a German quiz-like thing on Friday, but I'm too lazy to be studying for it. xD I have a nano scrapbook - the idea's awesome, but I never find enough time to actually write in it. Still, I think it's really cool.

Uh... I have to write 50,000 more words by the 30th. I think I can manage, and I'll get to a total of 201k, or more, because I think that the novel I'm about to write is about 60k to 65k of words. I probably won't finish, but as long as I get to 200k, I'll be happy.

It's bad to know that my grades are suffering because of it, though...

There isn't much else that I have to say, but has anyone read/seen the trailer for the last song? I just saw the trailer, and it looks really awesome. Miley Cyrus is a good actor, in my opinion, even if people think it's the other way around.

I'm really just trying to get through life, nanonovel and all. I hope that my grades don't suffer /that/ much, but I can't really expect that. xP

I have one last thing to say - I got a Google Wave invite! It's really awesome - it would be cool to RP, on there. But I don't think that many of you have it, so that's out of question. Plus, my email is basically my first and last name. Then again, people may know, because of ItR.

That reminds me - I needed to get the second edition up. It should be on amazon in like a week or so, complete with a shiny-new awesomely-designed cover. I thought the old one was boring.

I feel like blabbering on and on, so I'm going to tell you what my new novel is going to be about.

It's about this girl (I think she's going to be called Zara, but I don't know. The name needs to start with a 'Z', but it needs to not sound too bold or anything. Any other ideas?) who lives in a society, about 100 or 200 years from now. The whole country that she lives in (it's implied that others are also that way, though) is divided into 12 cities. 1 is the richest and most well off, 12 is the worst.

You see, when a kid is born, the parents have to choose a number. Say they chose two, then on their kid's second birthday, the kid would have to roll a die, with the numbers 1-2 on it. This would determine which class they were in, for life. But say that the parents chose 12 - the kid would get to stay with the family until it's twelfth birthday, and then they'd roll a die, with the numbers 1-12.

So this girl's parent's chose the number 12. And she rolls it on 12. When she gets taken away by the official, she meets Xander (gosh, I hate the name. Suggestions, anyone?) and the official lets them go, as he doesn't have the heart to basically sell them into a life of slavery.

So they try to get to City 11, and they do. There, they meet a friend of the girl's (I'll call her Zara, for convenience's sake), who is called Rain, whose name I actually like. x3 They have to hide, and then, yeah, I don't know much else. That's pretty much the whole story, that I have so far. I know, it still needs a plot, but I'm working on that.

That's all that I really had to say, for my blog. I'm amazed at how long it is. It's... 916 words. 0.0 That's really good, for me. Plus, I already wrote like 4k today. Not a lot, but this is like, quality, not quantity.

Enough rambling about random stuff. I probably won't post another blog for a long time, due to nano, so, until then...

Bye!

Anyway, I finished my second story today. It's just over 50,000 words, and I HATE it.

Congratulations!

Seriously.

Idk why. xD But it seems proper to congratulate you . . . anyway, though, at least you got it written!

And you're not a failure. You're still really good at those subjects anyway.

I love the cash feature! I saw it and I'm like, OMG, yay!! I can't wait until we have the game now. :3

Good luck in getting the 200k you want! Unlike me, you'll probably get your goal. xD See, I'm aiming for 300k, but I'm like 39k behind my goal today.

I haven't seen the trailer yet, but I want to! I want to see the whole movie, in fact. xD It sounds like a really cool movie, and I like Miley, so . . .

Yeah, I know your full name at least . . . xD Er. That's cool you got an invite to whatever that is, anyway, lol!

OMG. I should, like, buy the new ItR. I'll ask for it for Christmas! Yeah! I could be your ultimate fanperson. xD

That sounds like a cool idea! :3 Is this the one for the second Nano story, or the third? xD I actually started my own third yesterday . . . technically I was already writing it, but I don't think I'm gonna mind turning Dragon Soul's sequel into crap for just a month or so, so I started over and made a new beginning. And I'm still liking it so far, which is good . . . I hated Falling for the first few days I was writing it.

Thanks! Haha, yeah. I'm really happy that I've got it behind me now. I seriously LOVE the story that I'm writing now. (However, that is subject to change. )

Haha, my averages are a failure then, not me. xD

The game should be coming in like a few days.

Awesome. I wonder when it comes out (and I'm too lazy to check.) xD

Well, that's not a problem. My real name isn't that horrible, plus, well, I don't /think/ I'm being stalked. Could be wrong, though. xD

This is the idea for the third. Ooh, awesome! So you finished both of your original stories? I can understand what you were saying about falling.

Thanks for replying, Shad. That was a long reply. 0.0

:3 Cool!! That's good.

xD Fine.

Yay!!

Hmm . . . 2 April 2010 in the USA. OMG, I wanna see it even more now. xD It could be my early b-day present!

Lol, well, I don't think any of the rest of us are from Germany, so it's probably not gonna be easy if we even tried. xD

It's kinda bad, though. xDD I know enough about like five different people online to stalk them if I wanted. (Yes, that was a total creepo comment. I couldn't resist saying it, though.)

Yup!! :3 I totally failed Falling, though . . . xD I only got 50k. That's my shortest novel ever. xD I wonder if that has anything to do with how I hated it at first?

Lol, np. xD And ikr? Idk why, even . . . I just felt like commenting on everything.

Yeppers.

And I'll have to wait even longer for the film to come out here. xP

I'm from America, I just live in Austria. xD

Don't worry, I know what you mean. xD As long as you don't actually stalk them, I'm fine. Otherwise... 0.0

Aww, I'm sorry about Falling. That was the one with the gargoyle or something, right? 'Cause the one with the medallions sounded really awesome.

I know. Hmm, if only these could fit into my novel (not going to happen, though. I'm not /that/ desperate for words).

And I actually like this story! W00T!

Yeah . . . that sucks. xP

Okay, fine, are in Germany then. xD

Hehe, yeah, I'm not planning on becoming a stalker anytime soon. xD I like being a mentally healthy, trustworthy person who doesn't have the FBI on her tail.

Yeah, the one with the gargoyles. xD It's funny, though, cus that's the one I really wanted to write in the first place! Desperate, the one with the medallions, was the one I didn't want to; it was just a way for me to get rid of a bazillion mini-plots that I'd dreamed up. My dreams are way too inspirational to me . . . oh, man, though. xD That one with the obstacle course . . . that was just fun. xD After I woke up, at least. (You probably have no clue what I'm talking about, though. )

Lol, you could try what I do . . . I keep an extra file besides my stories, called Nano Misc, and anytime I write something not in my official stories I put it in there. xD I only stick stories in there, though - like, I'd copy and paste the roleplaying in, but not this that I'm typing now. And then I just add it all with the other stuff.

Awesome!

Yeah, I know. Oh well. Actually, I think Twilight comes out really soon here, at least that's cool.



Ah, I'd love to say that about myself too. xD So am I. Well, ya know, sort of mentally healthy. Half way, at least.

I can't wait to read Desperate, if I can ever read it. And... you woke up? Sorta not understanding that, but, cool, I guess. xD

Ooh, cool! I think I'm not going to do that, but, well, yeah. Not much else to say.

Yeah, I'm at 25k of this story now. I'm aiming to get to 30k by the end of the weekend. In total, for everything, though, I have about 176k. Woot!

Awesome! Are you planning on seeing it?

All, right, fine, are in Austria! xD

Yeah, same. xD

Most likely I will; I'm not sure I'm even going to publish either of my first two nano novels after all, since I'm finding them way too much like Dragon Soul. xD

Lol, well, it was a dream, that particular part. xD Like it was a mega obstacle course of doom and I almost died, then suddenly I was home and my ear started buzzing, cus some creepy thing from the course was possessing me.

Lol, kays.

Awesome. Good luck!

Yep, of course! When I'm not writing, of course.



True. Well, that's better than being boring, isn't it?

Ah, cool. Well, I can't wait to read it, either way. Ah, I see. Confusing, but awesome. xD

Thanks! I got to my goal.

Woot!

xD I guess!

Lol.

Congrats!
