18th October

I know. It's poor.

No entries for the last few days.
I don't even have an excuse. *eyeroll*

I've been busy, but no more than usual, I guess. I've not done much writing, although last night I did work on a character bio sheet for Rouge, which turned out quite amusing. She appears to have sex on the brain, all the time. XD

Erm, what else...
So, last night I got an email from UEA saying that they had got my UCAS form, and that they'd be in contact with me shortly. I was quite close to dancing around my room. No other university has emailed me or anything yet, which makes me want to go to UEA more than ever now. I mean, I REALLY want to go.

As for NaNo in general, I've never felt more unprepared. XD Today I'm thinking about going through and making really simply bio sheets for ALL of my characters who will be going on the "quest" because otherwise I won't be able to keep them straight, and then I need to work out which plot points I'm going to allocate to AC and which ones to Rouge. Other than that, though, I don't want to plan anything else because I'll get myself all bogged down and bored. I want NaNo to be all about running with random ideas even if it doesn't work out. So, maybe the feeling regarding lack of preparation isn't a bad thing. Maybe it's exactly what I need. I need to loosen up.

-_-

We just made cookies (my sister and I). Chocolate chip ones, and gingerbread ones. Though, I ate too many, and now I feel sick. Dad and Cath went out and left us cooking, and apparently when they got back they thought they might have to put out some fires, or something. They thought that the food would at least be burnt, which wasn't the case. In fact, it was only the cookies that Alisha put in AFTER dad got back that ended up burnt, and that was because we were eating lunch and she forgot about them. XP My gingerbread ones turned out splendidly; Dad ate about four of them, before being told that he should stop or the diabetes might kill him, Alisha had a couple as well, and even Cath had one and said how nice they were. *feels smug* If only I hadn't had two of them, plus a chocolate one, plus sandwiches and crisps. *feels ill*

Blergh.
Maybe I'll go lie down and think about my characters or something. I hear we're going for a walk in a little while... =P

Toodles.

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!"
