nanowrimo.

The main focus of my past days have been writing my NaNoWriMo novel, which is pretty much sucking the life out of me. I find myself always thinking of ways to bend the plot or things to make my MC's personality more dimensional. I must say, writing a novel in a month isn't what's the challenge for me - killing my inner editor, who is screaming to go back a few chapters and look at that one dialogue or description - that's the challenge.
I don't know whether I'll be publishing it somewhere online for you guys to read. The answer is probably no, as I am quite protective over my writings and don't show them to any other than a few of my closest friends. Perhaps someday I'll let something see the daylight.
I realized this also counts as procrastinating, and I should probably get back to writing so I can go to sleep at human'o'clock.

Are you doing NaNo, or have you done it before? Share your opinions, experiences, tips etc. in the comments!

Lately I've been having a lot of wishes, small and big ones. I thought some of you might be interested in reading a post like this, and I hope it doesn't make me seem like a superficial person. Then again, most of my wishes aren't found to be materialistic or wanting certain things, so I guess that rules out the judgement.



Traveling.

I know I just came back from my exchange year, but I'm hungry to see new streets, turn new corners and watch a whole new world around me again. It's been a while, and I'm getting bored of being settled. I've been browsing different cities, what to do, what to see and such: Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm. I wish I could just pack my bag with clothes and a camera and leave, but I guess it's not that simple. Especially not now that school's started again.

Anyway, me and some friends have been planning a trip to London or somewhere for New Years. Hoping that it'll happen, it is something I'm greatly looking forward to.




Then, maybe something classified more as aspiring rather than wishing.
Dancing.

I want to be good at it again. I feel like it's something I left behind a bit too hasty, and I find myself regretting it now that my skills have gone down noticeably. Right now I'm doing Contemporary and Lyrical Hiphop at the same dance school I used to go to. Funny enough, the owner of the place remembered me. Made me feel sentimental in a way, and wanting to do my best this semester. Who knows, maybe I'll be dancing in the front rows at this years exhibition?

Captain Jack Sparrow

Mitä hemmettiä on tapahtumassa. No selitänpäs. Mun addiktio merirosvoihin palasi hienosti, ja aloin kirjoittaa taas. Miten nää liittyy mitenkään toisiinsa? Tarina kertoo merirosvoista. Sain jonkun aamuinspiraation ja laitoin pirates-soundtrackin soimaan. Menin weheartit sivustoille ja laitoin hakusanaksi pirate. Toi eka kuva inspiroi mua suuresti kirjan hahmon luomiseen(ja osittain henk. kohtaseen pukeutumistyyliin.. aloin himota lisää sormuksia)

Long story short, I started writing again, and I became obsessed with pirates again. I've always kinda been, pirates are cool as hell! God, I want to go watch some pirates of the caribbean, but I guess I should rather keep on writing. It's gonna be good, at least that's how I feel about it. Maybe I'll finnish a novel this time!

yarr, why is the rum gone?
