A [NaNoWriMo] Novelist...

19th September 2009

So, I would feel exceptionally guilty about not updating this place in so long if I hadn't been so busy over the last few months. I've not really had much time for the internet (as I didn't think I might), what with Jor coming, the huge party, doing loads of AWESOME stuff, Jor going, getting ready for exam results - EXAM RESULTS - GETTING INTO UNIVERSITY!! and stuff like that. You know, the whole shebang.

Speaking of university... OHMYGODILEAVEFORNORWICHTOMORROW. It's the scariest thing ever, knowing that I'm about to leave home and I may not ever come back for good. I'm at Dad's house at the moment, spending some last-minute quality time with him (or at least trying to anyway) and getting ready to go home at 4ish to pack Steve's car with all my shit. I have a lot of shit.

In fact, I have so much shit that I'm pretty sure it won't all fit in my room. I mean, I have a suitcase full of clothes, two boxes of food and toiletries, two boxes of bedding and bathroom stuff etc., and two more boxes of shit. Just shit. XD It's going to be insane! We're supposed to head off quite early though so we can get to Norwich at around 11ish. We can move into our accommodation from 10am, and I want to get there as soon as possible because I want to get unpacked and meeting people. I'm scared.

Mum's going to help me settle in, though, and then I'm meeting Becky (SHE GOT IN TOO) and we'll go exploring or something. Probably not for long since I have a ticket for the fresher's icebreaker in the evening and I don't think she wants to go much. Hopefully I'll get along with my new flatmates and they'll be going as well. :) Hopefully. *fingers crossed*

Other than that, though, I don't have much to talk about. I started writing a new novel, I guess, but the chances of that getting past 60k anytime soon are quite slim. I've not had much time to write, nor have I really wanted to. I'm just enjoying this stage in my life, and as soon as I'm settled down again I should be able to get back on it.

Also, the NaNoWriMo thread (one of them at least) is up on Gaia. I saw it and nearly wet myself. :D Can't wait to get involved in that again. =D

But, for now, quality time with Tom and Dad.
Toodles!

I sent you a PM on Gaia, then saw this post and realized you'd probably be too busy to be in touch anyway, so I deleted it. =P

Have fun getting settled in at uni. Hope everything goes well. =)

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!"
