oh.my.goodness.

sooo...i've mentioned John Green (i've decided that awesome authors get their names colored in lilac. i know its girly. sorry, John!) before
(notice: capitals where there supposed to be. which means he's brilliant.)
who is an amazingly spectacular author
(if you haven't, go read Looking For Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns. they are all perfect pieces of literature. i kid you not.)
but i have not mentioned Sarah Dessen, who is also spectacular.
i've realized that i have something in common with Sarah Dessen.
we have rather similar writing techniques. albeit, mine is not as polished or fantastic or amazing or brilliant. but similar.
which is something that my lovely friend kristy pointed out to me after reading the first few chapters of the book i had attempted to write for NANOWRIMO(NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth)
(John Green calls it NAFADOYBIMSCOM. which is an amazing acronym meaning NAtional Finish A Draft Of Your Book I Mean, Seriously, Come On. do we see why he's amazing?)
(all these parenthesis make it hard to read this blog...oh well.)
anyways.
kristy told me this, and my voice got rather squeaky as it does when i'm ecstatic, and i was grinning like an insane person.
i mean, my friend, my very honest friend, tells me that i write like a New York Times Bestseller? like i'm going to be nonchalant about that. puh-lease.
so in order to make my work unique, and not suck-ish, i'm going to make january/febuary NAFADOYBIMSCOM for me personally.
you can do it was well.
you should.
unless you don't enjoy writing, then...you probably shouldn't.
but i shall have a first draft!
with god as my witness, i shall have a first draft by march 1st!
that is all for now.
