Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Wow, I am way behind. I'll still be writing for four months (four months?!) after practically everyone is done. =/

Start date: April 17, 2009
End Date: April 17, 2010 (woot!)

Goal: 3oo words
Hopefully I'll have 5o,ooo words (or at least a decent part of a novel) finished by the end of the summer.

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments 4/17-Ugh, writer's block. :(
Wrote: a bit more of my WIP. Title is still in the works. I'm probably going to edit all of what I wrote today out later- SO UNINSPIRED.
Word count: 366 (with difficulty)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Thanks. :)

Jess J | 129 comments I'm sorry you are "SO UNINSPIRED". Happens to me all the time... Except I dont write at all when that happens. That is a nice word count for having writer's block!


message 6: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Haha, I just tried to keep with the plot... but it was pretty much kindergarten writing, no style at all... gonna have to fix that later.

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments 4/18-Wrote: short story about graduation. Wrote about this before for a creative writing prompt, but wanted to explore it a bit more. A really short short story. xP

Word Count: 415

Welcome to the group Amy. Oh, and remember, the only person you are keeping up with in this group ... is yourself :]

There is no starting date or ending date, there is just a date with yourself to write each day ;]

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Thanks Dee. :)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments 4/19- Worked on a new book. It's a fantasy. So far, I'm liking it a lot better than the realistic fic. one I started. I started writing in the middle-ish part of the book, because I didn't really know how to start the beginning.
Word Count: 1517 :)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Thanks! :)

And my story is really in the works. But it does involve the cliche about defeating an evil person (for lack of better word)... haha I'm aware how stupid it sounds right now. =/


message 15: by Amy (last edited Apr 21, 2009 07:42PM) (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Umm.. yesterday, didn't really have time to write... (4/19) did some editing, but I doubt I wrote 3oo words. :( Oh well.


message 16: by Amy (last edited Apr 21, 2009 07:43PM) (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments 4/20- 1,043 words today! Yay. n_n



message 17: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments 4/21- 340 words today. :) I started a prologue for some random idea I got today. haha, notice how I always start things and never finish them. Oh well, I'll do some more writing on my other books tomorrow.




message 18: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments 4/22- not a lot today... I wrote a bit of my fantasy story in my notebook. 307 words. Whew, I just made my word count. :)


message 19: by Jess (new)

Jess J | 129 comments Nice! Personally, I prefer sci-fi and fantasy when I'm writing. Good luck with your stories! Usually, when I start something, I only have a few ideas and get more farther on. I have a bazillion un-finished stories hanging around too. =)


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey Amy! Nice meeting you!


message 21: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Hey Amy! We've talked before (and we're friends) but welcome to the group!


message 22: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments @Jess; I like reading sci-fi, but I'm not really good at writing those kind of books.

Hello everyone! :)


message 23: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Since my computer at home is messed up, whenever I got on goodreads, my internet stopped working. =/ ...so I'll update since I'm using the library's computer.

4/23- none
4/24- none
4/25- none
4/26- around 1oo words?
4/27- I did some outlining on the "powers" that each of my character has... but I can't really think of that many. So if you guys can help me think of some powers/skills for each of the following categories that would be great. Fire, water, wind, light, dark, and earth.
4/28- none
.... not a very good week. XD


message 24: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Ummmmmm..... *thinks* Sorry Amy, I've got nothing! You should ask some other, more creative people.

Kenzie | 1305 comments Mod
You can use Spirit. :)


message 26: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Spirit?


message 27: by Kenzie, Help feed the hungry. Donate to 30 Hour Famine! (new)

Kenzie | 1305 comments Mod
Yeah. It's used in the House of Night series. They use, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Spirit as the "elements."


message 28: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Oh.


message 29: by Kenzie, Help feed the hungry. Donate to 30 Hour Famine! (new)

Kenzie | 1305 comments Mod
Yeah. Just thinking here for you. :)


message 30: by Milinkalap (new)

Milinkalap Coming up with powers or abilities always seems to be the most difficult to me. I wish you luck :D


message 31: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments I've never read the House of Night series; what can "spirit" do? Sounds interesting. :)




message 32: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Um, I wrote about 1,ooo pages total today and yesterday... and my outline for my censorship speech on the 28th of April. :) That's it. =/


message 33: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Wow, that's so great!


message 34: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Thanks. :)
4/4 (yesterday)- I wrote about 8oo words ish? :D


message 35: by Amy (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments Wow, I haven't updated in a while. Umm, I'm doing a bit of writing on the fantasy that I'm working on, but I'm too lazy to find the word count... enough that it's past my goal, I think. :)


message 36: by Amy (last edited May 13, 2009 07:42PM) (new)

Amy (kelairyy) | 50 comments I finished chapter one on the fantasy. :)
