I’m really excited about this challenge! 50,000 words in 30 days. The longest piece of fiction I ever wrote before was a couple of handwritten pages where most of it were almost identical to my favorite books in a wonderful mixture… But now the goal is a (short) novel, 50,000 words, as I said. I will make it!
There have been discussions for a long time now whether or not the Hobbit movies should be filmed in New Zealand like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. People haven’t agreed with each other, to simplify the matter. But now it’s been decided! The Hobbit will be filmed in New Zealand!
The tenth trailer for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1″ has been released! The other nine trailers are available on YouTube. I don’t have a favorite among them, so I just picked one at random.
Wow, the first snow of the year! And I’m awake to see it fall… Well, it’s very beautiful and all, but isn’t it very early to be snowing? I guess it will melt away tomorrow anyway.
It’s amazing how something that felt so tough and so difficult can run so smoothly! I sat down with the outline for my NaNo novel this afternoon, and it’s gone from being 25% gaping holes to being almost completely planned out! It feels really great, because I feel that I will need a detailed outline this year. Is there anyone else out there who will also participate in NaNoWriMo?
Right now I’m writing a letter to the child in Guatemala who I sponsor. I feel ashamed that I still haven’t written any letters to her – she has written me three already… But now I’m getting it done! I’m finishing the letter right now and then I will write it by hand on a beautiful letter paper. I’ve got a few gifts to put in the package as well. I hope she will like them!
Finally! I’ve longed for the members only CD from the Hanson fanclub, couldn’t wait to hold it in my hands – and today I finally found it in my letterbox! And because the CD was so delayed this year, Hanson sent another little thing as well, as compensation – so now I have a specially designed key ring.
