46,000 words and counting!
Today has been a great day, 3,000 words written today so far! I'm hoping to get to at least 48,000 words today. Tomorrow I hope to finish my NaNo novel completely. I can't wait to share my novel with my fellow CPer's and my friends.
Go everyone who isn't finished yet!

41,000 words written and 3 days left...
It will be a mad rush for me to finish, hopefully I'll write a whole bunch today, I want to get this done as soon as I can. But even though I want to finish it as soon as possible I want it to be up to a literary quality that I approve of.
Last week I went in for an English portfolio at my school, I showed my English teacher pieces of my novel and she said: "Wow, this is very well written, I can't wait to read more. In fact when you're finished with it I would like a copy."
I was so happy, it made me think that I do have the potential to become a good writer.
Update on my novel all together... well i'm not even sure if I'm anywhere near finishing it. I finally got my MC to her cousin's house, which I had planned for her to be there a long time ago. I'm currently on page 104 and I seem to find myself running out of ideas fast, I pretty much know how I'm going to end it. However, it's getting from point B to point C that I'm having trouble with.
But that's all I can say now, 9,000 words left to write. Will my novel be finished by then? We shall see.

Bad day... (I wonder why I even wrote this)
Not even songs can help get me back in the zippy mood I once was in right now. For some reason I've become extremely sad and angry.
I've noticed that I've been snapping at my brother a lot more lately and usually I only do that when he's done something to upset me. I'm also constantly making rude comments about him. I know this is wrong and I'm trying to fix it.
I keep telling myself that I'm going to start reading the bible on my own soon but I haven't opened it to read it. I have been praying every night when I go to bed so I think that's a step in the right direction. I keep trying to stay on the right path but I find myself wandering away more often then not.
I have no idea why I'm sad though. I find it very frustrating at the fact that I feel these emotions but I don't know why or what's causing me to feel this way.

Day 15 of NaNo
Today was kind of a bad day for me. I managed to hit 25,000 but that's about as far as I'm going today. I think I have the beginning of a migrain so my thought process is constantly being broken so I'm just like "Whatever" about the whole NaNo thing right now.
Hopefully the migrain will pass soon.
I've also got to finish my history homework for tomorrow. If I thought writing was hard wait until I start reading. *laughs* I'm also really tired, I've been getting up around 6 a.m. everyday for the past week and now it's finally catching up to me. *Yawns* I really just want to curl up in my bed and fall alseep and not wake up until I get up on my own.
And please pray for the rain to go away, it's been really depressing lately because of all the rain we're getting. And plus it's causing a lot of flooding in areas.
