FINALLY.

The internet has been acting up for weeks and today it exploded. I decided to get some writing done, since I couldn't distract myself with the many tools available on the internets. I wasn't letting myself write until I finished my outline, which was giving me a headache. Today I FINALLY finished it. It took way longer than I'd expected (um... I started it last Wednesday), but it's finally done and now I can just write.

I hate the planning phase. I'd rather just jump right in. :P

Also! I am now at 17,398 words. I wrote 5002 words last week. I don't think I'll match that this week, but I hope to get to 20k at the very least. My goal is 30k by the time school starts, and I hope to finish the first draft by November. It's not necessary, but I'd rather not stop this novel to write my NaNoNovel. I can only concentrate on one project at a time, everyone. D:

Aisling interviewed me!

Mirrored from Oh Clementine. You can leave any comments there.

Awhile back, Aisling did a meme that I found interesting. She gave me 5 questions, and I of course forgot all about them until now! Oh well, better late than never, right? Here are the questions she asked me, as well as my answers. (Also, before I forget! This is a meme, which means that you should let me know in your comment if you want 5 questions. If so, I will edit your comments with my questions. I should do so no longer than 24 hours after you leave your comment. )

Pay attention to this part!

(I know you skimmed the rest of this post. Please read this paragraph!)

Enough about me! Speaking of Aisling, her cousin Brock is competing on a Canadian TV show called The Next Star. The Next Star is basically like American Idol for Canadian teenagers. The show is currently in voting phase! So, if you can spare a few minutes, please, please, please vote for Brock a few times. I've voted over 300 times now (I've lost track, but let's just say 350ish). That may seem like a lot, but it doesn't take much time – just open that link in a million tabs and vote! You can vote as many times as you want and it doesn't matter where you're located. It would make Aisling super happy if Brock won, which would make me happy. And… you know, it would make me happy not to feel like I voted hundreds of times for nothing. Thanks in advance!
