I am alive!

Yes, I am. and, to prove it, I shall post one of the best quotes of all time, as it was posted on Wikipedia. No, this is not as much of it as I should have liked, but I don't want to type it all up.

"'I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. We're in one, or course; but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of a great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards. And people will say: "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring! " And they'll say: "Yes, that's one of my favourite stories. Frodo was very brave. wasn't he, dad?" "Yes, my boy, the famousest of the hobbits, and that's saying a lot."'"--Sam

Another good quote:

"Don't leave me here alone! It's your Sam calling. Don't go where I can't follow! Wake up, Mr. Frodo!"

and finally:

"Frodo was alive but taken by the enemy."

*cries* I miss my brothers...


Okay, I have 10,577 words (I think... somewhere around there). I am hopelessly behind, and do not see myself catching up anytime soon... I stay up too late, and don't write when I'm awake... right now, I just want to read Lord of the Rings again...but I have to go to bed...

NaNoWriMo

well, it has begun. I managed to control myself, and not write at all this morning, and I actually got stuff done! I read quite a lot of history, and did Chemistry. We all walked down to K-mart and got some candy, to store up for the tough times ahead. When we got home, I tried to practice my Flute, but was unsuccessful, because I couldn't look down to read the music, and manage to play the flute. We really need to get a music stand. So I gave up on practicing my flute, and went upstairs to start my novel. After much thinking, I set off. To my delight, I easily got 645 words, in one sitting, about the first Main Character. I have three main characters, and I'm writing it all in "I". So far, I've only gotten to the first two Main Characters, but the third one will probably be put in before bed time. I think I'm doing pretty good, with an average of 258 words per page (College Ruled) and more than nine pages done. That means that (by my official count) I have 2322 words so far. *is very happy*

as of five o'clock last night I had no idea who my third main character (the girl) was going to be. I knew absolutely nothing about her, except that she lives in Cha'are. So, last night, I hastily decided to stick one of my oldest characters into this year's NaNo. She's a girl named Ileon, and she appeared in quite a few of my earlier stories (none of which I completed). She's a Sylphian (don't ask. it's my secret.) and her age varies, but her character always stay the same, so she's easy to stick in it.

One last note. Our computers have been upgraded to Firefox 2.0 (I believe...) and I have found out that when you hit the backspace button, it takes a little while to "get up to speed". what i mean by this, is that, if you hold it down, and then lift it up, the computer will continue to erase what you have written for a small time. it's kind of annoying. *grin*
