So as it is, college is doing some serious life-sucking, so I am altering my ambitions a bit for JoNoWriMo. My shoes story, I think, shall just have to sit on a shelf for a while until I have the time to write it. In the mean time, my JoNo goals are now to plan out the epic fantasy I've had in my head for the past few years so I can write it for NaNoWriMo, and to lengthen Licentious Child (a novella that I wrote for my graduation project earlier this year, which you can buy, if you want...).

So I'm in Acorn, my school's coffee shop, and I hear someone mention Twilight (by the fabulous Stephenie Meyer) which causes my Twidar to go off (Twilight + radar = Twidar). At first I wasn't entirely sure if she was referring to *my* Twilight, but then she mentions Edward, which causes me to to shout, "Yay, Twilight!" It's not that I'm a crazed fangirl (which I am),  it's just that I was delighted to find another Twi-hard.

Anyway, my exclamation gets the attention of the other girls in the coffee shop, who apparently are Twi-hards as well. The result is a coffee shop-wide fanfest, excepting the boyfriend of one of the aforementioned Twi-hards, who looked very confused throughout the whole event.

Totally random, yet made me giggle for the rest of the day.

There is an uncanny resemblance between me and the girl in the middle with glasses...

Moving on, I think I have an idea for my JoNoWriMo, which sparked itself into a novel from a conversation I had with my roommate. We were talking about essays, and she told be about one she did that was on people's personalities based on their shoes. The funny thing is that I judge people all the time based on their footwear. So... that's what my JoNo's about. Tentatively, I'm calling it My Life According to Shoes and is intended to be a work of fiction, yet so far seems to be somewhat autobiographical... Oh well, we'll see how it turns out.

And just for the heck of it, here's the list of words that had to be added to my computer's dictionary for today (you know, to eliminate the dastardly red squiggle of DOOM):

Stephenie

Twidar

fangirl

Twi-hard(s)

fanfest

JoNoWriMo

JoNo

Ah, my penchant for made-up words infuriates my computer so...

So, I'm Mary. I'm a college freshman who would like to be a writer and who ingests perhaps an unhealthy quantity of chocolate on a regular basis.

 My school, Elon University:        

Alright, the main reason I decided to make a new blog is for... *insert drumroll*

JoNoWriMo + 1.5!

So I have two and a half months, starting tomorrow, to write a 50,000 word YA book. Easy, right? *insert crazed laughter*

Now to locate some pesky goals... And a story idea wouldn't hurt either...
