July 10th!

Well, it's ten days into July and it's time for me to take a mini-break. I know that sounds lazy of me, but today is a some-what special day for me and several friends that I know. So I'm not going to be writing today, or if I do, it will be a small amount. I'm pretty proud of my word count right now because of all the hard work that I've put into this. I feel like there's still a long journey for me ahead with writing this and God has put the message on my heart. He's guiding my words and I'm so thankful that He is on my side. I hope that this novel will touch many and help them realize what I've come to realize: You are never alone. Even when you feel as though you've isolated yourself, you are never alone. Whether it be with friends, family, or God, you are not abandoned and you are love.

*hugs everyone* I love you all and keep writing!

Day Eight

So my Suno is progressing very well, I'm techincally way ahead where I'm supposed to be, but that's all right. I like being ahead. I'm working on my way to 40,000, well I will be as soon I get some other writing done. I can't believe that it's the eighth all ready. Where have my days gone? *panic* I feel them slipping away. Anyway, everyone is doing great on their SuNos. I can't wait to read some of them.

Keep up the awesome work all!

Day Four and Five Update

So I have been pushing myself for the past few days to get caught up, stay caught up, and working hard for my goal. So far, I'm right on track and surprisingly slightly ahead (or at least I was). I'm all set to make my way to 24k today. I don't have much planned for the day so it should be spent writing, writing, and writing. If things go well, I may think of upping my goal of 120,000 to something different. However, that's if everything goes well today. I think it shall though because it's raining outside. YOu have no idea how much easier it is to write with rain in comparison to sweltering heat. :P (Hey, I'm from the Northwest, I'm used to rain.)

Anyway, keep going on your SuNo's! :D

Day Three of SuNo

Well, I thought about giving up on my SuNo, but decided against it. Instead I have added some to the beginning and am a little bit happier with how everything is going. ^^ I did word wars with several people today which was such a great motivation. I realize now how much my characters love to bait each other. :P I guess I like writing them like that. They take jibes at each other and then make up in the end.

Anyway, I'm about 4k behind where I want to be. However, I hope to catch up soon.

Keep writing, you're all awesome! ^^

Day Two of SuNo

Hey everyone, SuNo started yesterday. I stayed up until midnight in anticipation for the start of it. While waiting, I watched several people start theirs, which dismayed me a little. I played cheerleader for those who had started. This year, I'm not only focusing on my novel, but I want others to get theirs done as well. :) I very much enjoy helping other people out with their plots. However, I feel like it's draining me a little.

My writing, I feel is going too fast for my taste so I'm going to spend a lot of time added some things to the four thousand I have written. I like my plot and am constantly coming up with ideas, but I'm just concerned that it won't be enough material for my word goal.

Keep writing everyone and look for more updates in the future!

SuNo-SuNo-SuNoWriMo!

Okay, excuse the title. I'm a little estatic about July. For the month of July CleanPlace will be doing another SuNoWriMo! Woot! I'm so excited. The last time this happened was in July of 2007, so two years ago. The novel which came out of that is "finished" but in dire need of editing. Yes, SuNo of '07 produced an on-going trilogy, which is in deperate need of finishing. The Kiona Jewel Trilogy has been placed on a temporary hiatus until...I figure out everything.

This year for my SuNo, I am looking at two plots that I am very interested in writing. The first one involves forgiveness and the other is trust and being satisfied with you're at in your life. I want to write both of them, so whatever one I don't to for SuNo will end up being my NaNo. I've just got to figure out which one I'm going to work on. Oh the perils of having plots abound. :P Anyway, wish me luck!

Curveballs

For the past five months, I've been shown that my plans are not as important as God's. My 6+6 project is at a standstill because of several things in my life that have taken priority. I don't know when I'll be able to get back on track (or if I'll even be able to). Right now I'm really tired and not 100%. There's something going on with me physically and it's taking a huge toll on my body. I hardly have any stamina and I'm hoping to get out of that soon.

On the back of that, I am going to be participating in the second CleanPlace vlogging project. Basically, there will be a number of various members posting videos all about a certain topic. I can't wait to get started. My first vlog will be up next Friday. :D

Taking every day one step at a time,
Yuki
