Of Jasmine, NaNo, and Being Grounded

"I don't want comfort.  I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness.  I want sin."  - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

Hello lovelies!

Bad news first--I'm grounded.  Like, cut off from the world completely.  (I've currently snuck on to the compute while the rents are out).  Also, the only tea in the house is jasmine.  Which, is not that bad, but if I'm writing, I absolutely HAVE to have white.  That's just my luck I suppose. But, of course, I'm grounded, so I can't run out and buy some.

The good news--well, there isn't much except that I am still alive and writing, even if you don't see me on for a while and if my NaNo count doesn't go up (you can search me there, my pen name is KaylaKirkendall, add me as a buddy if you want).  I've gone back to what I used to do three years ago when I first started Raindrops and didn't have my own computer--I write my chapters in an old beaten up notebook and sneak onto the computer whenever I get a chance to type them up.  But that was when my chapters were only about 1,000 words.  Now they can be anywhere between 6,000 and 15,000, so we'll have to see how this goes.

Also, this computer doesn't have spellcheck on the internet, so I'm sorry if there are any horrible errors, especially since I am having to do this fast.

Anyway, my NaNo word count stands at just over 7,100 right now, but I've written out a couple more pages (by hand) so there is more than that.  If you want to know, it's about Dom Weasley. So far, she's given her lifestory (in brief), recieved her O.W.L. results, had a run-in with the love of her life (sort of), introduced us to her Victiore-infatuated best friend, Ed, hopped on the train, gotten to school, watched Roxanne and Lucy be sorted, and accidentally started the biggest food fight in Hogwarts history.

So that's what's happening in NaNo.

In other news, I have an outline for Chapter 51 of Raindrops, and I've drabbled in a couple of the sections, but nothing major.  I won't be able to write on Wings until I regain full access to a computer, because I need to re-read what I've got and figure out where I am.  AND I've joined a forum on fanfiction.net called Hogwarts Online, and I'm writing a oneshot for them about George and Alicia based off the prompts they gave me. 

Busy, busy, bee I am.

But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Drop me some comments!  Tell me about your NaNo, tell me what you can't write without (whtie tea, remember, haha) or give me ideas for any of my stories, whatever you wish.  I just get really excited when people comment on this.  It's good to know that people are reading. (:

PEACE.

Love Always,
Kayla
