How You Hope Your Future Will Be Like

Day 21 of the Writers-blog Challenge!

We're almost to 30, you guys!

*Celebrates*

And now to the question, which I will have much fun answering:

How You Hope Your Future Will Be Like

I am hopeful of many things in my future, but I'm doing more than 'hoping'.

I'm working towards my future and my dreams everyday, as I believe everyone should do if they REALLY want something.

I'm going to be published. This isn't really a question, considering ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I will eventually hold a copy of my book in my hands, whether it's through self publishing, through a company, ect.

I know that I'll make my book the best it could ever be through rewriting and editing and long nights with a bunch of caffeine and chocolate.

I hope my future to be full of inspiring moments, lots of cats, wonderful friends and family, and writing a TON of other books!

I want to write until I can't physically write anymore, because I will never run out of stories to tell, as most of us won't.

I hope sometime I'll have fans of my work, even if it's just one person who read my book and liked it, and I will be the kindest I can be to them. I am a firm believer in the fact that anyone can publish and write a book, but if the readers don't BUY it, then it just collects dust on the shelf. I would owe them all of my thanks and treat them like MY heroes.

I look forwards to every step of my future that God is planning for me, and I will trust Him to guide me through it all, like he already has so far.

What do YOU hope your future will be like?

Five Items You Want/Your Fears

YES I know I'm terrible at keeping up, because I missed yesterday's Writers-Blog Post but at least this excuse is a really great one:

I could not put a post together yesterday because I spent every hour writing in NaNoWriMo's NaNoThon!

It's where people all over the world met in person, live-stream through YouTube, or on Twitter to write as much as possible every hour. It really helped a lot of people get caught up, and I WAY surpassed my goal of writing 2k words and hit 7k instead, leaving me with a total word-count of 20,000 words! NaNoThon really helped me get back into the zone, and I'll be writing some more right after I finish this up!

(And speaking of which--I did one of my first 'word-sprints', where you set a timer for ten/thirty minutes and write non-stop! I did two thirty minute session late last night, and wrote 2k extra words, just because I knew I was being timed. I will be doing it a lot more often now, and I recommend you try it out too!)

Day 19:

Five Items You Want

1. A Pony. But who doesn't?
2. There are about a million books I would LOVE to have, but unfortunately I don't have my own personal library to store them in!
3. A new set of head-phones. One time when I had money (Those were the days.), I saw these children's head-phones at the store, and I figured "Oh, they're that cheap because most people won't have small enough heads to fit!". Of course MY head would fit, because I like to think of myself as a Hobbit (Fun-Sized is so over-rated.). So I was getting all excited and decided to buy them (Also because they were pink, so all bets were off.), thinking how clever the store was for selling them so cheap, because Adults/Teenagers couldn't wear them! Turns out, they must have been so cheap because the sound doesn't stay inside the headphones very well. It's like, if you play music through them, everyone in your house and Africa can be annoyed by my awesome Writerly music. I still use them, of course, but I would love a bigger, better set!...And that was the story of the time I decided to buy Children's headphones.
4. A lap-sized dry erase board. I've been wanting one of these to do character time-lines, plot outlining, ect, because I've found I work better with VISUAL time-lines, rather then outlining by Document.
5. THIS. SO MUCH THIS.

So, if anyone would like to spread the Christmas cheer, you are more than welcome to buy my any/all of the things on this list... You know, just if you feel like it...

I'm just kidding!

...But seriously.

Day 20:

Your Fears

Oh, geez, this isn't a good question. I'm afraid of MANY things!

I'm afraid of the dark, and I think that's the BIGGEST one.

I mean, don't get me wrong--I have an undying hate for spiders, but I've learned how to sort of ignore that sometimes.

Let's see... Wasps, heights (but only if my feet are not touching something solid), roller coasters, horror/scary movies, anything sharp (including needles), Crane's (or any other Bird that is unnaturally large), being alone, being in large crowds...

I think that's the most of them, but I'm sure there's plenty more.

OH!

I almost forgot the best one!:

I have this irrational fear that while I'm using the blow dryer, flames will erupt from the end and catch my hair on fire.

...Yes, I know...

But it's legit! I refuse to turn the setting onto hot, the same reason I refuse to lean too close to candles.

*Shivers*

And so now you know what a wimp I am, and know how I appreciate my own characters bravery!

What are some things YOU want? What are your biggest fears? Feel free to share!

Something That You are Proud of/A Problem That You Have Had

I am aware I skipped yesterdays Writer-Blog Question, and will for sure make it up by answering both today!

Day Seventeen:

Something That You are Proud Of

Erm, geez, this is an awkward question. Like, anything I say is bragging!

I do think I have bragging rights over finishing twelve (soon to be thirteen) Novels. Normally, I wouldn't be so freakishly proud for writing, except that I can promise you I have put way too much blood, sweat, and ALL OF THE TEARS into these stories, so, yeah, I deserve to be proud of them, at least.

Day Eighteen:

A Problem That You Have Had

What an odd question, right?

Everyone has problems--big, small, they're all the same!

I don't have any giant problems in my life right now, and the ones I do have I believe life is too short to be constantly worrying over things.

I have many problems I suppose, some so small you would think I've lost my mind to fret about them, but I don't like troubling other's with the problems I should deal with myself and smile through.

But, one that I think many Writers can relate to, is:

I'm writing my NaNoWriMo Novel at the moment, but... I have all of these books I want to start but I have to wait until this month is over!

*Worlds Smallest Violin Plays*

I think that once you dedicate yourself to one book, all of these insanely great ideas come flooding out of nowhere to be obnoxious, because they KNOW you can't write them yet, so they just sit there and tease you from the sidelines! But I am doing my best to cope with the long wait, and I can't wait to reward myself with starting them once I finish my NaNo Novel!

What are you rewarding yourself with after you accomplish NaNoWriMo? Are you going through any big problems? What are you proud of?

Something You Always Think "What If..." About

Day Sixteen of the Writer-Blog Challenge!

Today's question is:

Something You Always Think "What If..." About

This is a very hard question for me, because I honestly love everything in my life, and I wouldn't want it any other way--but, just for fun, I sometimes try to imagine what my life would be like if I never fell in love with words.

What if I was never a writer?

This question horrifies me, but I still like to wonder.

Perhaps I would be a professional Artist or Photographer? If I never loved to write, maybe I would work with Children or Animals. I could be an Explorer who travels the world in search of beautiful sunsets and interesting forests.

Perhaps I would be friendly, and not as shy as I am now. Or perhaps I wouldn't be nice at all!

Instead of books on my shelve, I'd have Music Books, because I'd be the best musician this world has seen!

I could be a Sculptor, creating Pots and Figures every hour of my day.

I could be interesting, or I could be dull. I could be exciting, or I could be grouchy. I could be a Pilot or an Engineer. I could be anyone!

but I'm not. I'm me, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Not that these lives don't sound interesting, but as a Writer, I can still do each and every one of these things.

I can have my character do them. This can be their lives.

I travel worlds and create things--I can, and have done everything through the things I write!

(Plus, I have tried many of these things myself. I consider myself a 'professional Multi-tasker'. Anything that involving creating something, I consider it a Hobby of mine. Sculpting, Piano, Violin, Sewing, Drawing, Painting, Building, and, now, Blogging. Yes, I have many interests.)


What do YOU think What If about? What are your favorite Hobbies?

Favorite Animal, Food, and Sport

Day Fifteen, anyone?

Favorite Animal, Food, and Sport

I found it's odd that these three questions were put into the same day, because, really, what do the three even have in common?

But, anyway;

Favorite Animal:

I have a ton of favorite Animals, but I'll try to narrow it down to just my five absolute favorites:

1. Ducks. Seriously, that just waddle around and make cute noises. How can I resist?
2. Cats/Kittens. Yes, you saw it coming, right?
3. Red Panda's, followed shortly by regular Panda's.
4. Baby Piggies. I'm not sure if I have the same undying love for grown Pigs, but I do know it is certainly present when there are babies involved.
5. Deer. They're just so adorable.

Favorite Food:

Macaroni and Cheese, forever and always. Followed shortly by Strawberries, Chocolate, and Chocolate covered Strawberries!

Favorite Sport:

Sitting on the couch.

But seriously though, I don't 'do' sports. They make my head hurt and bore me entirely.

What is your Favorite Food? Sport? Animal?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you're all having a wonderful November!
