Camp NaNoWriMo

I decided to start regular posts about my writing journey. It is mostly for me, so that I have a record of my progress, but also for anyone who is interested.

This month I decided to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo (here is the link for anyone who doesn't know what that it), I participated in NaNo last November. I wrote a few thousand words but couldn't continue because I didn't have a solid plot and words just wouldn't come to me. But after the month was gone, I finally found the solution to my problem and started the fanfic again from scratch.

Ever since then, I have been on and off with writing, but when I heard about Camp starting, I decided to give myself a chance and join with 25K in mind. (My secret goal was actually 30K, but I didn't want to make it my official goal on the website in fear I wouldn't reach it.)

So far, I have written about 22000 words. I honestly can't believe it. I don't think I've written so much in one month before. I wrote a few chapters before Camp started so now The Once and Future King has overall about 28500 words in it. I'm currently half way through the plot and I can't wait to finish it. I haven't finished any story except for one which was my first story ever. And it is so awful that my sister accidentally deleted it from the computer and I wasn't even angry.

I am surprised that I managed to write so much, and honestly I'm proud of myself. I know that for a lot of people, they write a lot more than than but for me, this is a new accomplishment. I'm determined to finish this story and I can't wait to share it with everyone. This story is really dear to my heart and I can't wait to see people's reactions; whether it is good or bad, I don't care. As long as it is honest. It will help me become a better writer.

(Oh and by the way, that icon is the cover of the story, made @_teenagers on Wattpad.)

I need to catch up

Have you ever... decided to take a break, or just got busy with work or with school and got distracted from watching your favourite show or anything that you love, and suddenly there was a dozen episodes that has been out and everybody is talking about them and spoiling everything, and your favourite actor did a new movie and a bunch of books you have been waiting for got released and everyone already read them? Because this is how I feel at the moment.

My finals are in May and let's just say that I have been slacking for the past couple of months, so I'm just trying to catch up on my studies these days and nothing is helping.
Age Of Ultron is coming to the cinemas in here in a couple of days, perhaps my birthday. I have a bunch of books that are staring at me in disapproval because I have been dying to read them for a long while and when I finally found them, I couldn't read them. I missed so many episodes of Supernatural that I don't even know where to begin. And let's not talk about Tumblr, because I can't even log in my account in fear I would get spoiled about something. (Because basically everyone I'm following is a fan of something that I'm not up to date with.)

I need to catch up. I need to somehow stop time and spend a week just binge watching season 10 of Supernatural, read The Book Theif and The Hobbit, and go and watch Age of Ultron. Only then would I be able to focus. I can't stop thinking about everything that I am missing.
