JulNoWriMo

Ok, so I moved my blog in the anticipation it would be used more, and what do I do? I ignore it.

Moving on, it's almost July and the last month of freedom until I go back to Uni bright and early on August 2nd (Bright and early, literally - I have an 8am class on Mondays, ugh). Since completely my first semester, I have done pretty much nothing which is good and bad. Good because its relaxing and stress-free, but bad because that makes me anxious and increases my insomnia because I feel like my life is going nowhere, and its time I start actually trying to achieve things in my life, and I'm boring and useless and....bleh....

The point is, I've decided to undertake a project for the month of July this year, that will no doubt make me a frazzled, mumbling mess of craziness before its over.
I will be writing a 50 thousand word novel. In 31 days.
Before you ask - I don't know what I'm thinking.

For those not in the know, every year an event called National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short) takes place in November. Last year was my first year attempting this insanity, but due to the fact that I was graduating highschool in the last week of November and thus had to take scary exams that would determine my future for years to come, I only managed 5000 words before I quit.

Now, I'm bored and wanting to finally finish something I start writing, so I searched for any other events similar to NaNoWriMo that would be happening before then and came across JulNoWriMo. Pretty much the same except for the one extra day you have to reach your goal. And, of course, the lack of obstacles such as school.

I've decided to tie JulNoWriMo in with my lack of blog posts and video blogs, so for the month of July, I will be writing a blog post every week day and making weekly video blogs about the experience. My Youtube channel is here for those interested in possibly akward and insane ramblings.

Now I have to get back to world building, character notes and hopefully actually having a plot before Thursday roles around!

P.S Anyone interested in joining this nonsence that is bound to have longlasting affects of the negative kind on your sanity - enjoy
