ok. Now that I got that out of the way...
We talked about weddings in lunch today, with Jess (Yang) having quite a cynical take on the whole affair (she doesnt think weddings are as special as some people, like me, make them out to be). I think weddings are something to be cherished, at least the first time around. You only get your first wedding once, just like your first kiss, date, etc.... It's not as fun the second time around (I think).
But Jess did note something quite interesting about me while we were discussing this. I can't, for the love of my life, plan for next week or even for tomorrow, but I have my wedding planned out. I'm not usually the type to be dictatorial (I'll leave that to certain people in my AP IPLE class), but my wedding better go as I plan it. I'm also a dreamer (even though I never, ever remember any of my dreams unless they're the ones that scare me awake), which I don't if that's a good or bad thing.
But since this is supposed to be about NaNoWriMo... Our conversation, and Jess's views on marriage, reminded me of the fact that I am marrying off my main character... to a man who is over twice her age. To those of you who have read my writing/book, this is kind of strange for me. I can pick off characters one by one in SQuared, but I always try to make the love story aspect a decently happy ending (shush to those who know how SQuared ends). But I've never destroyed a love story so early on in the plot. For goodness sake, I'm only at 22000 words. That's barely a quarter of the way for my usual novels (even though I have a feeling this book might actually end around the 50k).
Now I have to go back to thinking about how I'm going to grind out the next 3000words. I wish my characters would just do something already. Maybe she's mad at me that I'm marrying her off to someone who's almost as old as her father.....
and then there's anatomy homework, Stat homework, IPLE speech for Wednesday, college apps. Whoever made the calendar year should have just given us that extra .25day (the one that acculumates into the leap year)
----------
It's 12:00am. I just submitted my words into NaNo for a count: 25016! :D jeezums I wrote 3965words between the time I got home until 2seconds ago. And finished a majority of my homeowrk.... (minusing 2 art history pages. why are these study guides so long?)
anyways. sleep time.
