I'm back to trying to finish my NaNo novel! I am so excited to be working with such a psychotic character again....Emily just absolutely fascinates me. I can't wait to get this thing done, and I know I have to at least finish it (even if it is months too late) if I'm going to have the guts to tackle another one come November. This time I will not end up in the hospital! This time I will write my 50,000 words and then some! This time I will not become so engrossed by a mentally derelict character! This time there will be sanity! And less murder!

Anyways...I've edited it a bit to fix some of the misspellings and absolute grammar no-nos that were absolutely slaying me as I was desperately trying to reach 50k. I've added a bit to it in some parts and I'm happy to say that my word count is merrily sitting at an 11,630 words and fixing to get up off it's butt and CLIMB.

Blah....so anyways, here's what I've gotten done. I hadn't put some of the more (well, then) recent entries to Emily's little letter/diary spree, so there is some new stuff at the end that you may have not read (if you had been reading at all), and I added some at the VERY beginning and, of course, as I mentioned before, edited the middle section some. Enjoy.

( More on NaNo... )

I mean...geez. I know I can be long winded, but....

Well, anyways, this was supposed to be tacked onto that last entry, so I hope everything reads...coherently?

factitious \fak-TISH-uhs\, adjective:
1. Produced artificially, in distinction from what is produced by nature.
2. Artificial; not authentic or genuine; sham.

Mary couldn't stand Emily's factitious nature, and knew from the beginning that no good could come from befriending the girl. Later, she would regret ignoring that first instinct.


Come April, I will be trying my hand at ScriptFrenzy--a one month, 20k challenge in script form. I'll be doing a screen play, simply because that's what I'm most familiar with (thank you, Soden!), but I'm not yet sure what my plot is going to be. Look forward for a month of me obsessing about that. DX

Ugh....I've already gotten some ideas for NaNo this year....not quite sure exactly which to choose, but I'm going to try to stray away from the whole crazed killer phenomenon that seems to be haunting my mind since I began to watch all of those crime-reenactment shows. o.o Although it is hard, because my head has just been filled with so many more ideas for alibis and ways to hide the body :D Just a friendly thought to start you're day out.
