Some of the head lines:
I PICKED my novel plot!
My Birthday's near!
New promting blog!
~-~-~-~-
Okay, so my birthday on the 12th of this month is coming up fast, even though I've already got a pretty good percentage of my gifts. ^_^ I've gotten two gifts so far out of the 6 I will receive. Pretty good 'eh?
~-~-~-~-
Finally, around a month before NaNo my plot is picked! I've desided on the 3rd one because it just seems so NaNoish and fun to write. I've got my word file all ready and I've started scratching down ideas and writing up a ruff outline! Things are chuffing along quite nicely.
~-~-~-~-
And last but not least my very own writing propt blog. Its not mad yet, but when it is I will add a post to this blog saying so and giving you a link. I know theres a lot of writing promt blogs out there, but mine will work like this. You are givien an object in your story and a list of questions and you must answer them by drawing a sketch. Doesn't have to be a good drawing, and more importantly you won't have to show anybody, but the fact is you have a perfect description of an important/unimportant/now to be come an imporant object which should help you with your story/writers block.
Heres a sample:
A lamp shade! Don't forget to choose this answers by what the owner would have/like
What colour.:
What is the pattern.:
Where is it in the room.:
Is it well taken care of.:
Theres not always the same questions for them. And it can be any kind of item. Also this new blog will have a muse jump start word war where I set you a challenge or time and worlds.

So I havn't yet
Yes, read down and you'll see I was planing to orangize my ideas, but that never happened because I never worked out how I should do it.
So right now, I'm doing research for plot 2. Heres the only web sites I've found:
http://www.qualityinfo.org/olmisj/ArticleReader?itemid=00005844 I wanted some information about tools that would have been used, because thats my biggest prob right now because they didn't teach me about tools in my subject. But I can't find any sites with that kind of stuff on it. I guess I'll just have to ask on the NaNo forums and see if they can help me.

Getting organized!
Okay, you wanna here the long story or the short one? If you wanna here the long one read on, it's you don't then find some blond text and read on from there.
So basicly (okay not basicly) I found a pixel doll site link and had a look at it, it have a link to an old forum and used to go on that I desided to take another look at. I found a contest on there that was closed so I went to vote and found a doll that said it's base was from some where I don't remember having that base. So I had a look at that site and found the base, ate the egg from my humbile pie while finding the link to Gaia. (Just some popular in the pixel world socilizing site) So I joined up to Gaia and had to go to my email to activate my account, so I logged into my email and found a NaNo email, so I had a look at it and then went to the NaNo site, found out they had an after NaNo forum which I posted on a bit and then got inspired to finally deside which plot I should do for NaNo. So I am going to get organized!
[b]Okay, I've finished the long story, heres the short one:[/b]

There, so what I am going to do I write down stuff on index cards and lay they all out will mum is out and see if that helps anything. I'll keep you posted team!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, I 'signed up' to Scrip Frenzy (used my NaNo account) and relearnt how to write a scrip. I'm a bit late to do that now though. By like two months. In the imortal words of Max Well Smart, "Missed it by that much."
See ya later.

Yay! I have a plot! I mean plots >_>
Okay, so finally I have something to post here. Although I came up with my first plot idea a while back, but never got around to posting it. Now the plot bunnies have attacked both while I was doing school and while I was on the computer and I have three plots now. >_< So please, if their is anyone reading, comment and tell me what plot you like the best and help be decide!!
Plot 1: (Sci-fi) Main character's Dad's and car mechanic that never gets any cars it fix, but some how still gets paid every month.
One day MC decides to investigate where the money comes from. She look in an old car that has been sitting in their garage for ages and finds a small black box. That black box takes her to alternate universe where she sees her dad couching an all girls sports team (a spot she has never seen before). But she also sees him get fired!!
MC puts it upon herself to get her Dads job back.
Notes: I've developed this plot a lot, I've made up the sport and given it some room and worked out how it's played, worked out team positions ect. but I don't really care that much the other plots are awesome too!
Plot 2: (Historic) Set in around 1300 A.D. It follows the story of an apprentice carpenter's path to becoming and journey man.
In if his master will steal his work. He'll help and hiding serf escape is lord/master. And still have time to try and get to become a journeyman.
Notes: The down side to this is that research will be a common word with me for the time I'll writing this, how ever I am learning about this stuff in my world history subject. The plot bunnies came when I was doing that subject in fact.
Plot 3: (Comedy) The SPQR or Society of Purposeful Quoters and Ragamuffins is under review by the Society of Society.
Underline ragamuffins and you get quite an interesting story of secrets and plots to undermine SPQR.
Notes: This one seems like the most fun to write and the most like a NaNoWriMo. The name came from a forum game were you had to say what the acronym that the other person made up stood for. (Someone else made the acronym, but I made up what is stood for.)
So what do ya'll think? Which one should I write? Text in your votes to 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 30 16. (Or you can save money and just comment on this entry... either way, but I can't promise I'll get the sms votes.)

We are going have a full on sit down roaste and stuff which we hardly ever have, mostly it's just a BBQ.
Anywho, I did say I would start planing my NaNo next year on this blog, but I forgotten all the planing I have done and have got mixed up in another sotry that I am planing to write. But I will keep you posted on that one or my next NaNo if I think up something.

I real NaNo Update!!
Okay, so I'm sure your all wondering how I'm going with NaNo. Well I can tell you that I have writen 4714 words in the last three days (on top of school shoping and danc class to make my total sounds better.), but I've really come here to post some cut-outs of my NaNoWriMo:
Chapter 1 Cut-out:
The willy-willy started up again, but this time they where inside it. All of the things outside became a blur and slowly they were not able to be seen. As Casey looked down she couldn’t see of feel the floor for a minute or two then she saw lovely long green grass like the grass in the forest where she first landed. And slowly the dust stopped whizzing around and Casey could see where she had landed.
She could tell that they hadn’t gone very far by the fact that there was still lots of pine tree looking trees around the dirt road that look just like the one that was where the wizard came to pick them.
The place where she assumed that they would be holding the meeting was a square log house. It didn’t seem like it would fit more then twenty people inside of it and it also didn’t look very comfortable.
At the entrance some female dwarfs stood with baskets of different goods like breads, fruits, cakes or potatoes they where all looking to get an extra dollar from the people that were gathering for the meeting.
There were all sorts of different people there like centaurs, pixies, unicorns, elves, llamas and may others that Casey had never even heard or seen before.
I've posted up this because it shows two of the seven dares I have chosen for this year. Having potatoes and Llamas in every chapter. You'll see some more dares in later updates. Catch you later with more updates of my NaNo!!
