The Halfway Point

Hi, so you may or may not be wondering how Nanowrimo is going. Probably not, but I'm going to pretend someone cares, okay. I've been...

Also eating, drawing, writing, and occasionally reading. It's strange I was prepared to lock myself in my room for the entirety of Nano only coming out for emergencies or snack breaks. I've actually been unusually social with my family. I've been watching shows with all of them and occasionally joining random family discussions. It's disgusting.

I read two books as well. I mean how am I being productive right now? I don't read that much when I don't have a looming deadline. I have a fairly full TBR that I've started on, I also want to finish up ASOUE books, because I want to finish them before the 3rd season airs.

Moriarty was really good, the author did go to great lengths to stay true to Arthur Conan Doyle's style, it was compelling. I did figure out the big twist long before the end. Still enjoyed it!

The Creeping Shadow killed me, Lockwood & CO are my children and I might have cried, also they were eating Prawn Cocktail crisps, which I remember loving in London, so I ordered a bag. (My Dad might have laughed at me for buying an 8 dollar bag of chips. it's worth it to me)

I went and saw Christopher Robin with my little siblings, we all enjoyed it. They can't decide if I'm more like Piglet or Eeyore. A bit of both maybe.

It's kind of funny because this week of Nano was completely different to the first week. The first week I would finish fairly early and exercise. Get away from the screen. This week has been late nights, junk food, and barely making it. I'm living off of caffeine and spite, but that's normal for me. Oh and Wendy's chicken strips, I'm addicted. It's bad.

Tomorrow I should be a 25,000 words and I'm not sure how I feel about that. The reasons being as follows.

•  it's 25,000 words in and nothing has happened. At least nothing super important.
• It's one big ramble and way too much summary, rather than things actually happening.
• Nothing reads how I want it to.
• I haven't even looked at my outline and notes, so much for plotting.
• The characters are all acting out of character.
• It's awful.

So I'm exhausted but happy because I'm actually writing it makes for a strange mix. Also a very slapdash post.


The only other things of note this week are-

Stan Lee passed away and I'm really sad about it. He gave us so many amazing characters, and I will always be grateful.

Loki is getting a tv show!!! It's been confirmed and I'm incredibly happy about it!

Hope this post isn't as awful as I think it is!
