The last 38 days of my life have been consumed by the school play I was in, Night of the Living Dead. Yes, the one based on the 1960s film. I was the part of Judy, and it was so much fun. We ran for 2 weekends with 6 shows, and 3 of those shows sold out! That was pretty amazing. But it did take up a lot of time.
And now that it's over, I have time again. I have time to do homework, time to go on the computer, time to read, time to watch tv, but most importantly now, time to write.
You know what month is coming up, right? Do you know what November entails? Yes, that's right, it's NaNoWriMo! This year will be my first time participating in National Novel Writing Month, so I'm really excited. My only problem is that I have 3 ideas, and I'm not quite sure which one to do. And the funny thing is that all three ideas are in three different genres. One is fantasy, one is mystery, and the other is like, teen fiction (but the good kind, maybe kind of like John Green if I write it well enough). I'll probably end up writing the fantasy one because I've had that idea for the longest amount of time, so I have the most ideas for it right now.
If you're participating in NaNoWriMo, let me know! We could be writing buddies! Oh, also, if you don't know, the goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. You can go to the website, if you want to register or to find out more.
Also, Halloween is coming up! I'm going to be Bellatrix Lestrange. I already have most of the pieces to my costume, and I'm really excited with how it's turning out. My friend is having a Halloween party on the 29th so hopefully I can go to that, but it's the same day as DTASC and my parents will be out of town, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to.
Here's to a good Halloween and a writing-filled November! Cheers.

I've been really happy lately
Sorry for neglecting this blog lately. I have been really busy for the last few weeks or so, what with school, Kairos, rehearsal, etc.
Right now, I'm the happiest I've been in a long time, despite being a bit stressed. I'm worried about college apps, my classes, Night of the Living Dead opening in nine days, and DTASC, but I'm seriously so happy. I love what I'm spending all my time doing and I love the people I'm spending all my time with. I've been sitting in the drama room at lunch a lot more often, and I love it in there. I also just went on Kairos, the senior retreat, a week ago. I was there with my closest friends and it was an amazing experience. After that retreat, I feel like a new person and I'm so much happier than I was before.
Like I said before, we are nine days out for Night of the Living Dead. Things could be going better... My costume is complete and I'm assuming everyone else's is too, but Mr. B still has to stage my fight with Emily because neither of us have been there on the same day to work on it. The entire set is outside because my school has bingo in the MPB on Wednesday nights, so we have to take everything down on Tuesday nights, and it's been raining all day. We covered the platforms with tarps, but there was one where the tarp didn't go all the way down so the rain could have gotten underneath. Let's just hope that it stops raining when we lug everything back inside tomorrow.
I'm going to be very busy for the next few weeks. Tomorrow, I have rehearsal until 7:30 PM, and the next day, I have rehearsal until 8. Then, I'm at school for eight hours on Saturday for rehearsal, and starting Monday, rehearsal goes until 9. I know I'm going to be very busy, but this is one of my favorite parts of doing a show, so I am excited.
Until next time.
