<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Well it's day 8 and yes, it has been a few days since I posted up. And yes, I did say I would post up everyday but honestly, I've been so busy with school and work, that all I would have written is two lines dedicated to my word count goal and actual work count so I didn't see a point in wasting everyone's time. So perhaps if I have nothing more to offer, I will be skipping a a few days here and there. However, that's not to say that I've been slacking in my writing. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">As can be seen, I've been keeping up. Unfortunately, I'm closing into unknown territory in my story as I have no idea what my third act details. So far, I've outlined and plotting my first two acts but this third one is a slight mystery to me. I know how my story ends but I haven't quite figured out how to connect the dots to get there so who knows that will happens to my word count in the upcoming days.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- William Faulkner</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like I said I would, today is November 1st and that means it is the beginning of NaNoWriMo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am writing a Young Adult/Fantasy novel by the working title of The Tales of Elysian. I've been holding onto this story for about two years and by hopefully completing NaNoWriMo this year, I will finally have a rough draft of the story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To give you a little sneak peak into my novel: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was about a 15 year old girl who would rather escape into fantasy, adventure novels than partake in the real world. However, one day while browsing an old bookshop, she is drawn to a unique book by the title of The Tales of Elysian. Unlike any ordinary book, this one holds a secret and through this secret, the girl finds herself transported to the world of Elysian.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That is all I have say for now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As of right now, my word count is at: 1,759 words</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The goal for the day was 1,666 words, so fortunately I have gone over today's goal. Hopefully I can keep this up to help myself out when I am struggling to get to the word count. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So that will be all for today. I will see you all tomorrow with the new word count and my progress!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ciao.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13072711500616391787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312701330398394672.post-86306016468394249142014-10-29T20:23:00.001-07:002014-10-29T20:23:07.316-07:00NaNoWriMo Survival Kit<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The countdown continues as we are three, yes THREE, days away from NaNoWriMo! As this challenge will be taking over the entire month of November, I thought it would be in my best interest to prepare not only for the writing, but also for the whole "I'm barricading myself in my room until I finish this!" situation. The last thing I want to happen is to be distracted by something like lack of food, energy, or warmth. I wanted to tackle these potential scenarios before they arrive so I can write in the best possible environment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So here is a list of what I would considered my Survival Kit:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Macbook </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Word processor (Previously, I used Microsoft Word but from watching a few Youtubers, I decided to try out <a href="http://www.literatureandlatte.com/nanowrimo.php" target="_blank">Scrivener</a>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- A plethora of coffee/tea/chai (hello Starbucks!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Notebook and mechanical pencils (for jotting down ideas when I'm not near my macbook or iPad)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- iPad (easy to jot down things as well as useful apps, such as Pandora or Pinterest) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Earbuds </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Playlists: Pandora/YouTube (created story soundtracks with both to help set the tone for my writing)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Pinterest (created a board focused on my story)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Chocolate/Sweets (I mean, come on! This should be a given!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Flash drive (To back up my story, just in case a disaster strikes)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Comfy clothes: basic tees, leggings, and oversized cardigans</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Candles (currently burning sweet cinnamon pumpkin from Bath & Body Works)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Water bottle (necessary to stay hydrated!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Snacks (banana chips, wheat thins, almonds, yogurt, granola, etc.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Posts-its</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com on hand</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will also be taking on the challenge of blogging everyday during November, updating on my word count, my feelings about my writing for the day, as well as other random things. It's going to be interesting how I'm fairing on November 30th. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well that's all from me until November 1st. See you then!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13072711500616391787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312701330398394672.post-23048876731873907302014-10-27T19:36:00.000-07:002014-10-27T19:36:24.624-07:00Challenge Accepted!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are five days away from NaNoWriMo! For those of you who don't know what this is, NaNoWriMo stands for <b>Na</b>tional <b>No</b>vel <b>Wri</b>ting <b>Mo</b>nth. It is an annual novel writing project, where the goal is to write 50,000 words between November 1st to November 30th. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, it's a crazy challenge, but it is doable as each year there are winners. It's not my first year trying. I did attempt it in 2012 but I lost momentum and gave up halfway through. I didn't participate last year as work and school were preoccupying my life but this year I have made the time and I am really excited about my story. It's a story that I have been trying to write for over two years and I'm hoping during NaNoWriMo, I will be able to complete a rough draft of it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm trying to set myself up for success by prepping before November 1st. By prepping, I mean outlining my story, creating character profiles, and world profiles. I've also been reading blog posts and watching YouTube videos on NaNoWriMo prep.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll be posting later this week about my survival kit I'm making for the month as NaNoWriMo will be taking over my November. But for now, I will leave some links for those interested in doing it and/or those who want to check out the prep videos and blog posts I would recommend.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So it's been about a month since my last post. Time really flies sometimes. Grad school and work just take up huge chunks of my days so the first thing I'm thinking when I get home is sleep. Unfortunately, I've been lacking in the sleep department as well as I tend to go to bed late and get up early as I'm more of a morning person.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luckily, I was able to have the whole weekend off. Well that may only apply to work, I was able to take some time off from my paper writing as well.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since I'm still knew to Boulder, I decided to go hiking as I live only minutes away from the foothills of some beautiful mountains. So on Saturday, I got up early, had a big breakfast, and went out, hoping to be victorious as I hiked up Flagstaff Mountain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This, my friends, was a delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie from Nekter Juice Bar. And yes, it tasted exactly like Pumpkin Pie. It was so true to taste that it felt almost as if the employees were placing pies in the blender and just blending it up. Not that I would mind if that was the case but it is an intense smoothie so be prepared to be satisfied!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While I allowed myself to be a little lazy on Saturday, I had to buckle down and get some paper writing out of the way on Sunday.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love Fall for so many reasons: football, cool temps, changing colors, cardigans, corduroy pants, pumpkin flavored foods, hot coffee, oh and my birthday (Nov. 2nd!). It's just such a fantastic season. The only downside is that not all Falls are created equal and when Winter comes sooner rather than later, it's quite disappointing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well I'm halfway through the semester so if you see me disappearing again for long stretches of time, I think you'll know why. I'm hoping I can do a post or two but the last half of the semester is chalk full of assignments so you never know.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm currently finishing up my last semester in my Master's program for Library and Information Science. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience in the program but I am enthusiastically looking forward to graduating this December and being on the hunt for my first professional library position.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During this semester, I'm taking two courses, a practicum, and a capstone project. It's a tall order but since I performed well during the past two semester taking three classes with a full time job, I feel like I can handle it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since I'm looking to work in an academic library, the logical choice for me was to do my practicum at an academic library. As I've been doing my MLIS program as an online student, I wanted to go somewhere that I felt would give me the best experience, both professionally and personally. After narrowing down my choices and emailing some schools, I chose the Norlin Library at the University of Colorado - Boulder and I'm so glad I did. Though I'm only starting my fourth week of my practicum, I feel like I'm learning so much from the hands-on experience as well as enjoying the city of Boulder itself. I'm originally from the Midwest and have spent the last four years on the East Coast so this is the furthest out west I have ever been and so far, it's been fantastic!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So that's it for now. I will be posting about my stay in Boulder, my practicum, and probably class work from time to time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Until next time, ciao!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This will be the first blog post of "the daily life of a traveling bibliophile". I've been reading blogs for so long that I felt it was time to finally take up the challenge. The posts on this blog will mostly revolve around my daily life, as it states in the title, which includes my love of books, travel, food, learning, and whatever else I decide to post up!</span></div>
