NaNoWriMo, you are going DOWN!!!

Dear NaNoWriMo,

How are you doing?  I haven't seen you for an entire year.  You know a lot of people are really scared of you, but I don't know why.  In reality, you are  not real.  .  .  Let me rephrase that.  You are real because people know and acknowledge that you exist, but you are not living nor breathing.
Instead, you are a contest.  You convince people that writing a 50,000 word book in a month is possible, and I applaud you for that.  It is good that people can realize that the book inside of them is only a few (OK a lot of) keystrokes away.  It is not easy to write a book.  Nobody would contest that, but it is possible.
Yes, it is draining and hard to have that kind of discipline everyday to write.  But in the end it is so worth it. But now, I will brag just a little.
When I write a book, and I mean really write, I will write 5,000 words a day.  Do the math.  I write a 50,000 word novel in 10 days.  Not weeks or months, days.  :)  I know, I'm cool.  (OK, that was really self-righteous, but I'm just in that kind of mood)
I love writing so much that it should be illegal.  This is what I want to do with my life, and I look forward to doing just that.  So, NaNoWriMo, I could complete your quest in my sleep, and that is probably what will happen.  See you in five days.

Writing, Writing, and Writing

So, I've realized, that if I'm going to do this Teen Writing business right, I can technically only to it for one more year.  :(  But who's going to stop me??  Ha!  Anyway, I guess I could still be a 'teen' writer by simply because I write YA.  Yeah, we will go with that.  Anyway, I have begun writing again and am grateful by how much fun I have while doing it.  I'm writing the second in a series right now, and there will be four.  Hopefully, I will finish them all by the end of this year.  Then I have a Christmas story I came up with while it was snowing, and am really excited to write it.  :)  all for now!
