Winter's Song

by me

The frost covers the cold ground,

It traces pictures on the windows,

It makes the world icy, cold, and white.

It’s winter.

Snow is coming!

Rush to the store!

Buy soup!

Buy milk!

The big white fluffy snowflakes fall to the ground,

My feet make them crunch beneath my feet,

I pick a handful, and pack it hard,

I wait patiently for my victim to walk around the corner.

I awake to the twinkling Christmas lights above me,

Shining like beautiful, mysterious stars,

I slip on my fuzzy slippers, and pull on my bathrobe.

I walk silently to the tree,

I sit in wonder and awe of its elegance.

It’s Christmas.

15,000 words!!!

Finally! My mini goal of 15,000 words in Nanowrimo has been accomplished!!! After much struggling and conflict inside myself anyway.
I have started to find my story dull and boring, but I also have not stuck with just one story this long before. Usually I let the plot marinate in my mind before I plunge into the writing period. Actually I started this story with no plot in my mind at all really. But the end is just now starting to find itself in my head, it's still blurry, but once I put on my brain glasses I will probably see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Now...back to writing...

Nanowrimo 08'

Another year...another nanowrimo...how very frightening! Nanowrimo for those of you that don't know is National Novel Writing Month. Where aspiring writers try to write a 50,000 word novel in one month, November. I have been a part of this since last year.
Last year I did Pauli and the Firebird, and well...I only made it to 20,000 words...because I got grounded from the computer.
But this year, I'm doing a story called Storm White. It's my own re-written version of Snow White. So far I have 3,221 words. That's not bad, for a start, I started a few days ago...so technically...I have only done around 1,000 (that's rounded of course). So...wish me luck, and don't blame me if I don't post anything for awhile. Because you certainly know what I'll be doing.
