NaNoWriMo

Whoa, haven't written in this for a little while. :|

Um.... I spent around $60 at the mall yesterday? I spent $35 on a gift for Jasmine, and then bought 6 and 7 of D.Gray-man for myself as well as a pair of thigh-high socks for my Anise cosplay. And some gloves for the cosplay, but my dad paid for those. I didn't get to go to JoAnn so I guess I'm going next week. I'm going to need to buy an X-Acto knife as well as a cutting mat and a roll of contact paper... just to do the design on Anise's cloak. XD I hope I don't end up messing up while I'm sewing the thing, that would suck majorly. And I'm almost done with Tokunaga but I still need to figure out if there are stitches on the back of the head or no. I can't find any good pictures, so yeah. I also need to pick up some fabric and lining for Lelouch, who I am apparently cosplaying at ASC and Megacon (hopefully). I gave in when Jenna said she was doing Lloyd Asplund (!!!) for ASC. :| The jacket is going to be fun to make (I hope). I've already got the pattern mostly figured out, it's just the embroidery that will take the most time to get right. (identical fleur-de-lis on both sides of the collar augh)

Also, I'm totally getting into the groove of my novel for NaNo (finally)! I'm at around 3k words right now, and I still have around 5-6k to catch up on just to make the quota for the 50k challenge (and I'm probably still aiming for 75k!)... but I think I can knock that out easily now that I actually am enjoying what I'm writing. I was almost going to divorce my plot and run off with a new one (girl, total otaku, goes to a con and makes friends with a cosplayer and gets a crush on him.... only to find that it's actually a crossplayer) which I came up with this morning and thought was cute, but I decided to give it one last try. And it worked! I'm still going to write that idea eventually though. :|

***all of that was written yesterday. Man, I get distracted so easily.

Oh yeah, also got a new DA account (again). http://twinings.deviantart.com if anyone wants to look - there's nothing up yet.

I'm at almost 6k words right now and moving on track. Still around 4k words behind, but I think I can make that up easily if I do a word war tomorrow morning during class and then write some more when I get home. I have an Amnesty meeting tomorrow after noon too, aosdfihdsuf. Maybe I'll skip it. :| I'm already skipping the Mu Alpha Theta meetings so that I can work on NaNo, haha. Not to mention that I'll need some amount of free time to work on cosplay once I get more fabric. Augh.

(still haven't finished Tokunaga oasjdfiusdhfisudfhsd)
