20th September
Today has actually been a pretty awesome day. :3
My sister's eleventh birthday is on Thursday, so today she held her birthday party. She had five friends come skating with us, and that was so much fun. I told myself I wouldn't do any skating, in case I hurt myself and broke a wrist or something (which would seriously mess with my ability to do exams and shiz). But, I decided eventually that I didn't feel like writing, or reading, because the music in the skate rink was way too loud, and it was dance music which I struggle to write to anyway. So, I went skating.
At first I was a little unstable, because I hadn't skated in so long, but eventually I got my confidence back, and before I knew it I was skating as fast as the professionals again. It felt good. <3>
It tired me out, though, because I'm not used to it. Now the tops of my legs are a little sore, and the bottom of my feet because the skates I got were falling to pieces and made my feet blistery. I got home, was so tired that I couldn't stay awake, and took an hour to have a nap. And took some headache pills. When I woke up I was in charge of keeping an eye on some of the kids who had come back to our house to stay the night (three of them, plus my sister), so I spent most of my evening chatting with this one guy called Paul, who really is kinda sweet.
And then, finally at 1am, once they'd gone to bed (they're still awake, though, I can hear them) I got to sit down and do some writing. My original plan had been to do homework after, but that hasn't been the case- I'll do it tomorrow.
I'm actually pretty pleased with my output. Considering that yesterday I struggled to even write a word, tonight the words came a lot easier. I'm onto a rather amusing scene right now, with some character revelations and cute bits with the main characters, so I'm really enjoying myself. I've also written 1.5k, which after this writer's block feels like a miracle. Miracle I tell you!
So, now, I'm at 66.4k for this novel, giving me only 14k to write before NaNoWriMo starts. I've also been planning out some characters for said NaNo novel. So far I have two main characters: the villain, Redd (but everybody calls her Rouge because she hates mixing languages) Noir, and Allouez, my hero. Rouge has a brother called Blue (Redd and Blue, geddit?); their parents thought it would be funny. XD
As of yet I have no conflict, and no reason why my hero would hate my villain and quest to kill her, or why my villain would quest to kill my hero, but it's okay. I have a while to come up with something yet.
Now, though, it's 2:40am and I'm tired. I guess I should go to bed, but not before I put up my line for the day. I'm going to start doing this, because I think it might help me have more confidence in the quality of my work, or at least I'll enjoy it a bit more.
Line(s) for today:
Ellette: “Oh, he did. He knew I was a Cuckoo, even if Calina never did.”
Medina: “A Cuckoo?”
Thank you, and good night. ;3
