So it's only three (well 4 technically) days into NaNoWriMo and already I'm having doubts. Such is normal for someone like me. I guess this would be a good chance to prove myself wrong huh. What if it was an actual assignment? What would I do then? Probably everything I had to do to get a B. I don't apply too much stress to myself anymore. I was a crazy perfectionist for so long and I was so mean to myself. I'm not saying letting myself completely off the hook is the answer either but I have yet to find a happy medium.
Point is, I just found NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) via one of my all time favorite blogs Hula Seventy and decided that while I can't win prizes because it is already the 4th and I didn't post something the 1st and the 2nd I would still go for it until the end of the month! So I guess I'm going to be taking both NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo on. Adding more instead of taking away work. But in doing both I'll be giving myself a tad bit of slack on the 50,000 word count. I have a story to write and believe me I have a LOT of material considering it would be a fictionalized account of my life but life's already super hectic. I'm looking to finish out this week with at least 10,000 words though. I only have 8,500 more to go!

Would you rather be wealthy and ugly, wise and sickly, or beautiful and stupid?
None of those sound like a good time. I guess if I had a great personality and was wealthy and ugly I could always get some plastic surgery done. Beautiful and stupid unfortunately would get me a lot farther than wise and sickly. But no matter what I would want to be happy. If beautiful and stupid meant happy then I guess that's how it goes. If I could be happy while being ugly then maybe I'd take that. I'm not any of those choices though and just thinking about my answer to that question makes me so happy that it's hypothetical.

Describe the plot of the next book you want to read, even if the book doesn't exist yet.
I want something easy to read but not necessarily light. I just want to really get into something from the first page.

Tell us the story of a piece of jewelry you own. Where did it come from, and what does it mean to you?
I don't put a lot of meaning to most jewelry. I do have my mom's wedding ring from here marriage to my dad which is about as sentimental as I get. I don't wear it because I'm afraid to but I really do appreciate that my mom gave it to me.

How would your life change if you didn't have rent or a mortgage to pay, i.e., if your housing was free?
My rent is free for the next three months so I don't think my life would change all that much. Now, if three months from now I could move somewhere else where my rent would be free then I would say that I would worry a lot less about a career and spend a lot more time having fun with photography and such.
