As 2011 ends...

Looking back on my year I kinda epically failed on the blogging part of my resolution as well as my reading and writing goals. Also my vlogging failed in the most epic way possible. That didn’t last long. I actually tired to make a vlog several times and I was going to post all of the bloopers up on YouTube this break, but my laptop crashed and I lost almost all of my files. However this year wasn’t entirely an epic fail on my part. I READ THE HUNGERS GAMES.


I READ THE HUNGER GAMES.

It was peer pressure mostly. I was working on a show and the dressing room chatter was all about the Hungers Games. I hate spoilers so started again and finished within days. I’m still on Catching Fire so no spoilers. It took me a long time to get into it. But after I got through with part one I could not stop reading. (This was a problem because it was midnight and I had class at nine the next morning.) All I could say now is I’m hooked. Peer pressure is bad.

In writing I have epically failed upon epic failure. I’ve dabbled with a few story ideas but they never fell through. Since my laptop crashed I’ve had more time to sit down at my desk at home and write. And the creative juice kept flowing. Maybe the main problem was that I could not just sit on my bed and try to write with my laptop because it’s too distracting. I’ve written more this past week without my laptop than I written this year. I defiantly have to take this into consideration when I go back to school.

This year had its ups and downs, but I think through all of this chaos I’ve found clarity. I learned from my mistakes and when next year rolls along I could better myself as a reader, writer, and person.

Happy Reading!

Nano, Memoirs and Cookies

Three things:

1. I will not be doing Nanowrimo this year. I know, I was determined to finish this year, but things came up. It's pretty much the reason why my posts are so irregular. College, extracurricular, procrastination.  I also want to focus on my current WIP and it’s going really slow. I half outlined and wrote out some in my notebooks during class. It’s pretty messy. It’s seriously the only way to keep me from not working on it at all. If any of my twitter followers want to start a word war I’m totally up for it. Especially for you who are doing Nano.

2. I started getting into Memoirs, well mainly by comdeians. I’m reading Chelsea Handler's "Are you there Vodka, It’s me Chelsea?” and it is hilarious. I’m defiantly looking forward to reading more of her work. I also bought Tina Fey’s memoir this summer and I haven’t started it yet but I will soon. Do any of you know any hilarious memoirs I could check out?

3. What is your favorite kind of cookie? My favorite is tied between Chocolate Chocolate Chip and M&M’s. It know this is random but I have cookies on the brain.
