Kurry's Journal

Holy jeez, it's been a whole month since I wrote last. Things got so insane I don't even know where to start. So, in the lovely style of , it's time for BULLET POINTS!

I am ecstatic to announce that I now have two jobs, both paying roughly $12 an hour and both sporadic so I still have plenty of time for other things. This is a HUGE relief to me. It's very nice to be bringing in money again. Thank. God. :whew:

The reason I haven't been journalling much, even when I finally got said jobs, is because midterm/essay season decided to hit along with everything else all at once like usual. However, I just finished two major projects today and got them handed in, so schoolwise the pressure is largely off until finals. YAY. This means that I can focus on the rest of my projects, outlined below.

NaNoWriMo: I have hardly written a thing for Denz's fic since the month started. I'm a terrible person. But Denz and I HAVE been doing a lot of planning for the story, so I'm looking forward to finally being able to sit down and start writing proper scenes and editing the ones I already have. Once I get that started, I'm sure my wordcount will hit 50,000 in no time.

Disclaimer: I am NOT trying to win anything this year. If I do get offered a prize, I will turn it down, because I'm still working on the same novel I've been working on during all my NaNoWriMos for three years. I know it's not fair, but I can't start a new major story until I dent some of my old ones. Hence, no winning - I'm just in it for the support and the deadline, which inspires me to write.

There. Now my conscience is clear. Moving on.

Speaking of not starting new stories, though... Heroes is making this VERY HARD! We're on the third season now and man, it's just as much of a trip as the first season! My adrenaline hasn't gone back to normal in two days. @_@ But it's SO GOOD. I can't stop. I'm getting addicted to the idea of Peter/Sylar too. I wrote about 1,500 words of scene with those two in it today. The thing is terrible, writing wise, but I enjoyed it. It might end up being a story; if not, I'll just keep it for my own guilty pleasure. :3

Going back to the essay thing for a moment... I've also been doing a lot of reading/studying of my own. I'm reading Uriel's Machine again, properly this time, and oh my god it's incredible. I can understand most of the science involved, and it sounds purely plausible that a seven-tiered comet hit Earth 10,000 years ago to create the Great Flood. Like, the Biblical, Noah-in-an-ark Great Flood. That one. I really want to finish the book so I can find out where the Watchers came from. It's amazing. Read it, even just so it can blow your mind.

Geez, I just realised I also broke 6,000 pageviews while I was so busy. I'd better draw something for that. Better belated than never. I've been wanting to draw one of my new boys for awhile, maybe I'll try him. Either way, I really do appreciate all the pageviews, faves, etc. Thanks so much for visiting, and don't hesitate to leave comments. I'll hopefully have some new pieces up once I get more free time and finish NaNo for the month.

Projects I have going right now:

~ NaNoWriMo
~ Story for fiction class
~ Multiple articles for my job
~ Jakfic
~ Altean arc in the rp
~ Diversity contest piece
~ SEE stuff

Wheeee, that's a lot of writing! My portfolio is going to be huge by December. :3 I'm really pleased with all the writing I get to do right now. It's a good mix of professional and fun stuff. I just have to make sure I stay caught up in my classes so that I can pass my exams. It's all good after that. The really awesome thing is that I think I've only got, like, one exam in the actual exam period. So I'll have tons of free time for a month. I'm looking forward to it. (More ushering!)

Oh, and my parents are coming to visit in like, six days. Almost forgot about that.

Okay. Well, that was extremely verbose. I'm going to go do some laundry and try to finish off at least one thing on my list now. I feel better now that I've kind of caught up with myself and laid it all out here. Man, I love journalling. :3 I forget how much I miss it when I don't do it often enough.

If you read this whole thing, good for you! Have a cookie.

Cheers,
