Good morning!

I don't know if I said this last post, but I'll say it again. I am, of course, engaging in NaNo this year. I know a lot of people think it's crazy to do that at my age, when I'm in my first year of Uni, and part of me thinks that too. But another part of me thinks: when will it not be crazy to do NaNo? November is always going to be a busy month. I'll always be at school in November, and I'm past the age when things aren't so important by about four years. I'll always have important examinations coming up. And even when I'm out of school I'll (hopefully) be at work. And that will be important too, and it will be tiring.

NaNo is something fun, and even if it's a little crazy it's something I love, and that I really want to do. I am not giving up the hope that I will win NaNo, and that I'll win it with something worthy, something that I can take further than November.

NaNo is also the closest I've ever gotten to finishing anything. Which is actually worrying in a writer hopeful. But it's also inspiring. It's also encouraging.

So even if it's a little crazy, a bit foolhardy, I will continue to do it!

I was actually gearing up to post the pictures from the TMR gig but I think it would sully the message of this post, so I'll do that later.

To those of you thinking about doing NaNo this year, I say do it!

And good luck to you all, you crazy, brave people!

Happy Blogging, and happier writing!

Lots of Love,

Okay, I've been neglecting you again, haven't I?
And with really no cause either; lots has being going on, and I keep thinking 'I should blog this!' but I never do.

Sorry.

So I'll give you a speedy little update.

I saw The Miserable Rich again early last month, I believe it was the fourteenth. As always, they were wonderful. Because it was only a few days after one of my closest friend's birthdays, I tweeted the lead singer with a request that he dedicate a song to her, and he did :D So a lovely night on that count (with pictures that may follow)

We also saw another very awesome band at their gig, We Used To Make Things. They were amazing, very energetic and very entertaining. Plus, the bassist (was he the bassist? I never am sure) let me wear his hat.

The venue was The Old Queen's Head in Angel, where it is impossibly indie. There were V-necks and nerd glasses galore, and it was ridiculously packed for a Wednesday, but it was otherwise very nice. We were sat right next to the stage, which, while awkward, was actually very fun, especially when it came to watching TMR.

Also, I've started Uni.

Woo. Woo.

Okay, so really I'm enjoying it immensely. All of my lectures are really fun, and everyone is very friendly, but the work is hard and I have no actual friends :( even though I've been there a month already. Oh well.

And now I'll sign off because I'm still in my dressing gown, and I told Angeline to come round any time from four.

But! Before I go.

I've started reading two really awesome internet fics, Guts and Sass by M. E. Traylor and The City of Roses by Kip Manly, and I decided, 'why don't I do this?' 'This', being dedicate a site to a story.

I then realised because my dedication levels are generally sporadic and I skip from story to story, but I already have a blogspot intended for writing, which can be found here, and also made a wordpress for chronicling my NaNo adventures (a little prematurely, but something interesting will happen soon, I'm sure.)

So please, check them out :)

Anyway, that's all from me for now.

Happy Blogging

Happy reading/writing/planning
