Zombies were people too!

In four and a half hours I'll start my NaNoWrimo. It's scary, I just made a character chart yesterday (very, very nasty one since the theme for my novel is the six degrees of separation and almost everyone is conected) and kinda plotted a bit over it.

For my To-Do List.
Spam yourfacehere
Start writing the characters for my novel
Cut my fingernails.
Put energy drinks in the frigde
Get chocolate
Cry in horror
Writer's block
Bitch about my writer's block
Make a NaNo Wallpaper to hunt me in my desktop/cellphone.
Make a day/words per day chart.
Draw my novel timeline.
Get anxious, stare at my clock 'till 23:59

WRITE.

I WISH YOU ALL LUCK TO MY FELLOW NANOWRITERS<3

Why is it so hard just to hold on to a concept, to a certain plot, and start getting ready for NaNoWriMo? Maybe it's just me, but the thought of having to pick the topic of my first novel (OK, it's just NaNo but I do want to have something there!) really makes me feel nervous, and totally scares me! I need to start plotting, to have my characters, my world, al written down and there for me for when I start writing. And there's nothing yet :/

Swords and Wizards? a Thriller? maybe something romantic? something funny? Damn, I feel overwhelmed. People who know my writing are just sweet and supportive and tell me that I could write whatever I want because I can do that. But it's not true. I mean, I could totally write some horror novel, but I'll probably suck at it because I've never done something like that!

I think I need new ways to clear up my mind and think this, because walking, listening to music and just daydreaming it doesn't work anymore.

Chocolate. I need chocolate. Chocolate ice-cream. That would help. I think. At least it will relief my craving :/

Hump, yeah! I joined NaNoWriMo this year! I saw that thing last year, but I was too scared of even looking at their homepage! This year I decided to give it a try. As a former graphic design student (or reincarnated Project Runway contestant, haha!), I need some time of impossible deadline to make things happen. But...

1) I'll be writing my novel in Spanish. Not only because it's my mother tongue and it uses more words than English, but because I REALLY want to get shit published. So, my goal is to have something marketable.
2) I feel SO LONELY there :'( There's no Latin American group, let alone anybody else from Argentina. So, you can make a girl happy by just being her NaNoWriMo buddy :D (I'm so lame).
3) I don't know what the hell I'm gonna write that novel about. I have too many ideas, and they run away like scared bunnies when I try to give myself a topic to start chewing on.
4) 50,000 words in a month is like 1,667 words per day. It sounds scary like that :/ Specially for something like me who's more used to roleplay than to write a lot, alone.
5) None of the peeps I know and who could actually write something cool are joining! They're a bunch of lazy asses :( And I don't know anybody who did this before. Hum, yeah, that adds up to point number 2).

That's pretty accurate.

BTW, I repeat: MY ICONS ARE NOW AT yourfacehere.

Ok, that's AWESOME. Thank you so, SO MUCH.

But now... I have to make an icon community, right?
I think I have.

Now it's time to brainstorm for a while. I need to come up with a cool community name. Help is always welcome *hint hint*
BTW! Sorry for being so MIA. I've just started my semester at university and this year it's gonna be awesomely intense. I'll be back. In a community. Stay tuned, people, and thanks for your support, your warm, fuzzy encouraging comments.



Love, Hikky
