Good news, guys! I talked to him a little bit ago, and he agreed to extend the deadline. In fact, we're going to the same high school, so I just need to get it to him by the time we graduate.

So now I need motivation again.

Thankfully, guess what's in 10 days, 3 hours, 11 minutes and 20 seconds?

Yep. It is.

I just did some quick research, and I decided that my story would take place at a time similar to the time a bit before the Americas were discovered, as that kind of sailing plays a part in the sequel.

So I decided to look up what was invented then.

I found...cannons and gunpowder.

This could be fun.

Uh oh.

I've been writing short stories with my characters, and I really need to stop putting them in one story, because some strange things have come up...

Anyway, I need to start really getting ready for NaNoWriMo, because it starts in like, four days. Time to get to work...

That is, if I didn't have a field trip tommorow.

And my theatre class has a play on the 11th and I have a lot of home practice to do.

This will be hard.

You're procrastinating. Just actually do some writing. You have character and a plot, so just begin, even if it comes out horribe just write. It will give you a feel for the story and make you less likely to give up later on. Please for your own sake just write some words. I'm not trying to be rude bcause I don't want you to drop this 'cuz it sounds cool.

Oh side note: What's NaNoWriMo?

It's called National Novel Writing Month. Basically, write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November.

It'll help motivate me when I have a more clear goal in sight.

During my first attempt at NaNoWriMo, I will be posting regular updates in my blog.
