You might have noticed that my blog looks different now!  I decided to change the theme, as well as making some changes to the pages I have.  If you go over to the Projects page, you’ll see a page devoted to my NaNo history, a page about previous, non-NaNo projects, and of course, everything I’m currently working on.  I’ve been meaning to do a NaNo page for a while, and yesterday I decided I really needed to do it.  Especially since NaNo is the basis for a lot of my writing, and helped me work on some stuff I started way back in high school.  The about this blog page is also updated, plus there’s a contact info page, so be sure to check that out if you want to email me or find me on twitter or goodreads.

I didn’t really like how the old page did subpages (seeing as I now have several now) so I decided to find a them that did subpages slightly better…and I found one I liked!  I hope you enjoy the new layout.

The writing went fairly well this week, and I sort of stuck to the schedule I came up with earlier this year.  I’m hoping that I’ll be able to stick to it more, because I want to get more of a routine going.  Writing in the mornings is working out better than the afternoon, although the afternoon is working fine too.  Overall, I managed to get to my 125 word goal, and for the most part, added a little extra.  I think I’ll aim for 150 words per project, with the goal of adding as much as I can to that.

I also made some progress with the David Starkey book, and I’m particularly glad I checked it out from the library, because it’s gotten even more dull and tedious than it already was.  The intro was pretty off-putting, and I’m actually not sure if I’ll finish it or it.  I’m determined to, but it’s frustrating that he felt the need to talk about Henry’s divorce from Katherine of Aragon TWICE!  And pretty much the same info but from Katherine’s perspective and then Anne’s.  It’s more about the political aspect of his marriages, as opposed to a more cultural version.  I appreciate the research but it’s just so much information that it’s overwhelming.  As of right now, I wouldn’t recommend the book to anyone.

I worked on one of the characters from one of my plot bunnies, and did a little mind-map.  There’s an actual program (which is free) that does this, but I find it a little hard to use when I tested it out.  I might keep my handwritten one, but I may end up using One Note instead.  Still, it’s more than what I had at the beginning of the week.  Maybe this will be the week that I actually take a look at all my plot bunny notes!

I didn’t lose any weight either, which isn’t a surprise considering i didn’t exercise and ate crap all week.  But surprisingly, I didn’t gain any weight either.  Maybe I need to just…go to the gym and stuff.
