A [NaNoWriMo] Novelist...

"In skating over thin ice, our safety is our speed."

29th February 2008.

Yey. A leap year.

Jeez, I've been so bust these past few months it's been unbelievable!
On the other hand, I have rediscovered the joy of the Writer's Forum on www.gaiaonline.com. It's been getting me to write more, with an added bonus if I win the contests. Hannah and I set up a sort of goal as well; we each have to write (or start writing) a short story every month. We bring them to the monthly meets, so that we can at least say we're writing during the year. I know that it's a big problem with NaNo writers, we always get lazy during the rest of the year when there's not that pressing deadline breathing down your neck. That's why my goal this year is to write more, even if I do have to pass exams and do awfully hard coursework at the same time.

I'm not doing too badly. Last month I wrote two very short (like, 2-4k each) short stories, and this month I have one complete story at about 7k and another one I'm trying to finish tonight to take with me to the meet tomorrow.

That's what I call progress.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Kitty Taylor
Location: Derby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

I'm a 23 year old female, who spends much too much of her time online, and in the book store. I'm in love with writing, and reading and anything mildly creative, really. In the future I'd like to write professionally, because it's something that I know would be perfect for me, but until I come up with best selling material that will keep me in the moneys, I think I'll just head for whatever I can get. Got contacts in the writing business? Let me know, I'd love to learn more about it.

"Come on babe

Why don't we paint the town?

And all that Jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees

And roll my stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all

That

Jazz

Skit two!

And all that Jazz

Hotshot!

Whoopee!

And all that Jazz

Slick your hair

And wear your buckle shoes

And all that Jazz

I hear that Father Dip

Is gonna blow the blues

And all that Jazz

Hold on, hon

We're gonna bunny hop

I bought some aspirin

Down at United Drug

In case you shake apart

And want a brand new start

To do that-

Jazz

Find a flask

We're playing fast and loose

And all that jazz

Right up here

Is where I store the juice

And all that jazz

Come on, babe

We're gonna brush the sky

I bet you lucky Lindy

Never flew so high

'Cause in the stratosphere

How could he lend an ear

To all that Jazz?

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

And all that jazz

Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

And all that jazz

Show her where to park her girdle

Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

And If she hears her baby squeal

It's For all that jazz

And all that jazz

And all that jazz

Come on babe

Why don't we paint

The town?

And all that jazz

I'm gonna

Rouge my knees

And roll my

Stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all that-

Jazz

No, I'm no one's wife

But, oh, I love my life

And all that Jazz!

That Jazz!"
