Will do!
ummm,
Day 42 (feb 11)
150 words about the importance of a character in a story.
Oh, and 181 words making up two and two halves poems. I still have to finish two of the poems, and write anther one, because I don't like the first one, which is the one that was finished.
so together that is....331 words.
Day 43 (feb 12)
450 words about Chinese Calligraphy
Day 44 (feb 13)
134 words of when the birds fly south.
Total of 11,785 words so far. WHOOT! I'm actually going to get back on track though! I've been missing my word count almost every day for two weeks now, and a lot of the days, I didn't write at all.

Woah! I just checked on a calculator, and I should be at 11,000 words right now if I were exactly on track. HOW CAN THAT BE? Maybe it's because a bunch of days in January I wrote 300 or 400 words... but that shouldn't be enough to--OH WAIT! haha, I forgot about school stuff. That's what has kept me on track for where I should be in this year. Because of that math project, and that bio paper, and that little paper for world studies... and a bunch of small random paragraphs for lit...

awww. ty. I love chocolate roses!
Day 45 (feb 14)
133 words. I couldn't figure out what to write, and I didn't feel like getting my notebook (where all but one of my stories currently reside) so I was like, hmmm.... I remember that June once thought about the time that she ran away... I made note of it, because I figured that I should either tell that story or get rid of the mention. Well, I'm still probably getting rid of it, but I decided to write the story of that one time when she tried to run away. I fell asleep though...
Oh, and 21 words to finish a poem!!! Do you want to read it? Oh, sure you do! Here it is:
Some Things Aren’t Right
Ever been tattooed?
Branded like a bull?
Labeled with a number
Or a name?
Ever been punished
For believing something different
For breaking a stereotype
For speaking your mind?
Ever seen another praised
When they’ve done something wrong
And you’ve done something right?
Ever watched a cruel act
Where everybody stares as they walk by
But nobody stops to help?
Ever been pushed down so hard
That you couldn’t get back up again?
Ever heard an insult
And without thinking, laughed?
Ever known that some things are not right?

Aww, thank you. I wrote most of it last wednesday for a creative writing enrichment (enrichments are sort of like extra cirriculars...) And I have to finish it for next monday. But I have all of this week off of school, so there is an entire week to do it. Now all I have to do is finish the other poem (or just leave it as it is) and write another one that begins with one of the lines on the sheet that the instructor gave us, because we have to write three poems and I don't like my first poem. It's about Carmen Sandiago and not very good...

Day 46 (Feb 15)
So far: 21 words to write 1 stanza to finish a poem! yay! (the above post applies to this poem as well)
Movements
Your hand cannot move gently enough
As it hovers above the piano keys
About to play a sad tune
With no thought of happiness
Your brain cannot think fast enough
As danger approaches
About to take life
With no time for hesitation
Your smile cannot shine brightly enough
As your friend raises her hand
About to wave
With no chance of ill-will
Your soul cannot glow strongly enough
As you fill with joy
About to share it with the world
With nothing but happiness
249 words of a short story!

Aww, thanks guys! I actually have something to add for Sunday. I continued the story that is based off of a dream. I haven't counted the words yet. I've been crazy busy. In a fun way.
Well, for 47 and 48 (feb 16 and 17) I didn't have access to a computer or notebook. Long story short, I was at my friend's house.
As for today, I'm really tired, and my brain is way too filled up with stuff to think about stories. Maybe I could write in my journal that I haven't written in in about... six months at LEAST. At least my sister probably will only be moving to NC, not southern CA or Japan (not that there's anything wrong with those places. They're just kinda FAR.)

Because my sister is getting married and moving in less than six months. O.o And I found out about it two days ago.
Oh, she's 21. And yeah, we were expecting it a little, but not really this soon. But I didn't really expect the moving out of state part...
But at the same time, it's all really exciting! I went with her to try on wedding dresses the other day. :D

OMGOSH, Roni!! I found these awesome Skittles that are double flavored!!

They're really good!! If I don't eat them all I'll bring some in on Monday. :)
I hope you're feeling better. And I'll see you tomorrow at school. I hope you guys had fun at Winterfest.

Day 52-58 (feb 21-27)
Two poems. 89 words. And something that was supposed to be a poem but wasn't... 201 words.
And the Poems!
That Sweet Smell
Freshly clipped from their stems and arranged
Are flowers galore from floral shops
There are carnations and chrysanthemums
Tulips and hydrangeas
Irises and daffodils
Lilacs, lilies and queen and lace
Rhododendron
Poppy and goldenrod
Lady’s-slipper, violet
And roses
Red, pink, and white
Obscuring the closed casket
The Birds
Swans gliding across water
Eagles soaring
Hawks hunting
Wild turkeys strutting
Herons taking flight
Woodpeckers pecking trees
Geese honking in their v-formation
Pigeons cooing
Crows loudly cawing
Robins and chickadees chirping
Ducks quacking
And owls all alone, sleeping

I am doing the Mock Nanowrimo Write-A-Thon and my goal is a total of 25,000 words. I will be working on The Thyme in the King's Castle, and I will try to finish it, even if it means writing 60,000 words. If I finish with less than 25,000 words, I will work on Kurt.

Feel better soon Roni!!
Omg, you're sister's 21 and she's getting married?!?! 0.0 That's how old my sister is!!! Wow, I can't imagine her getting married now...whoa. lol
Day 35 (feb 4)
