I heard about this thing called the NaNoWriMo a few months back. Frustrated writer that I am, I told myself I'd participate this year.
And so i signed up about two weeks before November. I was dead set on a science fiction novel. I have explored the milieu for quite a bit already. I was quite excited by the connections I made between... Well, the novel takes place in metro manila ca 2050. this one is with a space age-y feel to it.
First day came, and I was armed with a scratch pad to write down the first words of my story (people were sharing the PC so I couldn't monopolize it). I was about 600 words shy of the first day goal. But then I had a feeling my story wasn't going anywhere, especially since I had no plot yet to begin with, something that's been bugging me since I started to have a general idea about it.
I didn't write anything during Day 2, trying to think of something to propel my story forward. For Day 3, I think I was able to come up with another idea - this during one of the numerous daydreaming I've been doing a lot of lately. And so from it was borne a story in the chicklitverse. Many of the details are wishful thinking, yes, but I thought I could go farther with that idea. It was also more feasible for me to do during my first try at writing a 50,000-word story since I didn't have time to do extensive research if I wanted to make my sci-fi story the least bit believable.
So there's the great switch: sci-fi to chicklit/romance within 3 days of NaNoWriMo start. And yesterday I started writing. I reached about 4,000 words, clearing the first two days' goal. Hopefully I won't lose steam. There's a lot of kind words and support around the nanowrimoverse and even here at DA. So I shall not fret, but remain fixed in my goal.
Onwards to 50,000 then!

Eager to get back... But wait, no camera on me.
The past few days have been good. I've been receiving appreciation for my photos. Being in a community such as here on DA is great. Of course, there have been plenty of disappointments, too. But no matter. As long as I believe I can make it, there's something to look forward to everyday.
+ + +
I've also been meaning to write a few things, but so far, no contemplative mood or inspirations to spur me towards that kind of thing.
Will be watching a few French films this coming week. Hopefully, they'd get me thinking about things. And oh? Has the World Cup started already? Have no idea yet, but i
a few things since the start of November
Cool! I get to have a skin for this entry...
Anyway, just a few updates, not necessarily on my artistic pursuits:
+ Haven't been up to my NaNoWriMo goal for the past days. The last time I updated my romance novel was when I was still in the province, about six days ago (woah, that long... I have serious catching up to do).
+ Friends, soccer and some internet surfing have been taking up a lot my time. I can't photograph as much as I want to. But I'm happy about my latest deviation, though it was taken months ago.
+ Saturday evening was futsal day. I gotta be more consistent. I play better (meaning more skilffully, and better attuned to my
dream days are back
I've been having dreamful (yes, what's the opposite of dreamless?) sleeps again.They're not bad. They just seem so unreal. Yesterday's included a love proposal from an effeminate guy. Today's had me getting a good bargain for a second-hand car. And I think it wasn't only one but two, one for me and for my dad's to use (as the family car).Interesting... I wonder what the rest of the week will bring. It's been awhile since the last time I remembered I had dreams. Because when this happens, they usually go on for many successions of days.
I just wish I don't feel so tired or still sleepy (puyat, in other words) when I wake up.
ant-bitten
being bitten by no less than six red ants (the kind that bites painfully) is some experience. sure, I didn't mind too much while I was trying to get the picture from that certain angle but I couldn't stay any longer. after they bit me, the parts where their proboscis made contact with my skin were swollen. nothing much to it.
then the following morning, i woke up with pus where the ants bit me. it's been almost three days since that incident. and i still have to see those bites go their healing way.
but well, that's just the experience if you're really pursuing a shot. unfortunately, the shot i made that time didn't turn out as well as i e
