Blog:
As you can see I've changed the look of my blog. It's not really what I wanted but it will work until I find the perfect one.
Wardrobe:
Cold weather has finally come (yay!!!) and I find myself digging through my closet for something warm to wear. Admittedly, I was hoping to discover a lamp post but, alas, all I found were my winter clothes...
NaNoWriMo:
I did it. It being, of course, having signed up to be a WriMo. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writers Month, and basically what I have to do is in the month of November write a 50,000 word novel from start to finish.
Daunting I know but also really exciting. So far I've come up with a plot and written a synopsis (which is all I'm really allowed to do while I wait for November) and I'm working on some othere stories so I don't start on this one.
Wish me luck!

Synopsis: The IF's
So my name is Alexandra and, guess what, I'm an IF. Yea that's right an Imaginary Friend.
I belong to Mary Jane Clayfield, a great kid with one problem; she's really really shy. Well my job, as an IF, is to be her friend until she can make some real ones.
My problem is the person she wants to be friends with. Harold Mann (the Hairy Mann) is, in my opinion, a huge jerk-face. Only... MJ doesn't believe me. Her greatest and worse feature is that she always sees the best in everyone. She doesn't believe that Harry could break her heart. She wants proof. But... I don't have any.
So I did a little digging... Okay I stalked him. But I still couldn't find anything against him.
And then the council found out. The IF council is a group of big-wig retired IF's who make and enforce the IF laws. When they found out that I was trying to prevent MJ from being friends with somebody they decided to send in someone new.
They sent Talia.
I had never met Talia before, I had never even heard of her, but the council wanted her to replace me so I had to train her. I taught her about MJ's routines, her family, her job (she works part time at a coffee shop), and other stuff like that.
It was only a week after Talia arrived that I realized there was something wrong. MJ started doing things that were out of character like stealing money from the cash register and yelling at her little brother. I pulled myself out of my sulking to find out that Talia was messing with MJ's head.
My kid needed me but the council said that if I did anything to mess up this transition I'd be de-IFed, unmade, banished...
Nevermind what I said about not liking this, it is pretty cool :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dreamer,
