Oh captain, my captain.

I'm way too busy this month to legitimately write a 175 page novel this month. Too much school work. I'll give it a more of a shot, but classes are way more important.

Had to skip soccer today, too sore. However, work out tomorrow, so I should get my just desserts.

Also Also, I leveled up in DnD today, so huzzahs are in order!

Yeah, sometimes I wuss out and post a video

How schools stifle creativity

National Novel Writing Month

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.

Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap. And that's a good thing. By forcing yourself to write so intensely, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes. To forgo the endless tweaking and editing and just create. To build without tearing down.

It ain't goin' down like this

I spent the first night in the trailer my parents just moved into. I don't know how I'm going to be able to survive half a year here, let alone ANY extended period of time. Monday is going to be an important day for me, the advisor meeting. I get to sit down and discuss graduation, whether or not I need one more credit hour or not, and me getting the fuck out of Dodge. Next fall I plan on going to Oregon State University for a degree in Botany optioning in Mycology. I figure on taking that degree all the way, which is a perfect way for me go get the hell out of here. Plus, I'd much rather do scientific research than do cubicle programming for some company in Toledo.

I can't stay here, I feel like I'm going to go crazy.

So tired

I have GOT to stop waiting until right before bed to do these.

 I did weight training yesterday and soccer today. I have a headache. Journal out.
