Tis the Season to be NaNo!

NaNoWriMo to be exact!

Hi again my lovely adventurers! Are you excited as I am this year for NaNoWriMo? Probably not! This year I just know I'm gonna get the fifty thousand words. I'm pretty pumped to get started on my book. I've been planning it in my head since last year. If you don't know what NaNoWriMo is I'm pretty sure I explained it in last year's post.

In other news, I'm a finalist for the World Poetry Contest. This is rather surprising seeing as I really thought I failed at writing poetry. Usually I write a poem by opening up my heart and pouring on the paper. (That could be a bit gory depending on how you picture it.) Then I look back and realize what a big mess it is and clean it up a bit. I'm going to be published in the huge book that supposedly will "last through generations". Anyway I'm still kind of in shock. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.

Hahaha sorry I had to. Oh, and I'm in another contest. It's for Seventeen magazine. I used to read this mag all the time when I was younger. I'd steal it from my sister's room and snicker at all the parts about "How to Kiss your man". Now I could possibly get published in it! Also when some much needed college money and get to talk to one of my FAVORITE writers, Maggie Steifvater!!!!!

Sorry, but screw the money; talking to her is the only thing that gets me excited to enter in this contest. The link for this contest is right here! You can join if you'd like. Or you can heart my little story on figment that's an entry. That link is over there!

I'm being a bit corny today. There's really nothing to do as I sit in Starbucks waiting for my shift at Subway to start. More on that in my next REALLY long post. Well, I'm going to play some random games now. Bye!

Peace&<3,
Angela

Hello adventurers! So I has some fantastic news for you! I am rated #26 on TeenInk. I have no idea who's voting for me but KEEP DOING IT PLEASE! If you would like to check out the first couple of chapters of my handy dandy novel "I Know How You Feel" (whoa I went all Blue's Clues on you for a second) check out the cute little icon on teh webpage. If you can't see it, then I suggest some glasses or laser eye surgery or maybe, if you have a super cool macbook like me, take your two fingers and do the zoom in motion on your mouse track pad type thingymabob. Anyway, it's there and so is the fabulous book I have been talking about. Also I told you guys I'd give you the link to where you can buy the book with my story in it so

Also I attempted to dye my hair purple today and let's just say it is still red. DON'T BUY RAW HAIR COLOR!!! IT SUCKS! That's all for now!
