So I just remembered yesterday that I should be writing extra crap in my English class journal. I'm not sure how much of a grade we get for it, but he said to do it, so... yeah, I started writing. He says we should have one or two pages a week, I believe. And I assumed last time that one page was the front and two pages was the front and back, and he didn't express disagreement, so I'm going with that. I don't know how many weeks it's been since last journal check, but I have seven pages since I started writing yesterday. That sounds so big, but it's just four sheets of paper -- front, back, front, back, front, back, front. I wrote about a bunch of random shit, and then I started writing the first bit for soulcynosure100. It came along pretty well, too. Once I post this, I'm gonna type it up and start adding to it. I may not finish it today, but I'll post what I have and edit more in as I get more.
I dunno if LJ's being slow or the computer, but gah. Dumb. Bitcomet isn't on, so it isn't that.
I also read my english teacher's short story he wanted me to read, and... it was strange. It was too stiff for me -- my prose is more natural, he had no contractions even in dialogue -- but the story itself... it was very fucking odd when I first read it, but when I thought about it later, it was quite interesting.
He wanted to read something of mine, so I brought in my NaNo manuscripts from last year. (NaNo! Soon! -quail-)
Speaking of nano, I think I'm just gonna continue this 100fics thing through November and write 2,000 words a day. I'll only count what I write during the actual month of November, of course. It isn't a novel, but I've never quite followed the rules... for me nano is about actually getting the writing done, meeting your goal. What the goal is isn't so important as meeting it. So the rules say novel, original, not something you've written on before, and I say psshh. As long as only words written in November count. As long as I set a very challenging goal and meet it.
I do this because from the looks of things so far, a short story I can send to WotF may just emerge from my 100fic challenges.
I suppose that's all. Except I guess I'm gonna start using music and mood again, haha.
