Update Nano

Hello everyone! Olive here.

I know you're all probably getting tired of hearing from me, you all are used to Cossy, but you'll get over it. :)
Today is a small post, considering the fact that I should be writing, but I'm not. This is pretty much going to be a small update for both Cossy and I, and how our Camp NaNo's are going so far.

            so far it's going. I think my characters bonded a little bit too soon, but it's workable. Finally figured out how fast I want it to move along, so it's actually going a tiny bit to slow for me, but it's at a pace where I don't feel like it's problem after problem, it's problem, time, problem, time, problem. At least, I think it is. 

Costello ~word count: i don't even know i'm not keeping track
            I've decided to not write anything this Camp. I tried, but it just wasn't working out. I'm working on rewriting and revising the novel I wrote back in November, which is slowly going. It needs a lot of TLC, but I think it'll turn out okay in the long run. I'm also using Scrivener, which is an incredible software and I like it a lot. You can download the free trial here, and if you participate in Camp this year and win, you get 50% off the software when you buy it, making it only $20! 

Write on, my friends, and happy Camp Nano!

P.S., we're almost at 4,000 page views! That's insane! Thank you to everyone, and make sure you spread the word! :)

Summer

Hello everyone, Olive here :)

So Cossy is away for a week of sweet bliss, and it is wonderful, I think. She gets to get away from everything for a short while, and sometimes we just need that moment. Luckily for me, I'll get my week too, only this August. So till then, you guys get to enjoy a couple days (which turns into weeks, months and years if we're lucky) of me actually blogging! Who knew it was possible?

Anyways, Camp NaNo is coming up! Who's excited? Who's got an idea? Who's ready?

I'm excited! because:
I have an idea! finally, which means:
I'm ready! can't wait to start writing.

But during the month of July I will also be *gasp* social, and *gasp again* actually (hopefully) doing a bunch of stuff photography wise. Don't worry guys, I'll share some of my images with you as they turn up! I'll also share some pieces of my Camp NaNo if you guys are extra nice and leave some comments :) Or I'll just share some because I can, who knows!

I must depart now.
More later~

I'm going on an adventure!

Hey guys! Costello here. Sorry for our absence! I don't really have an excuse for it, except that we've just been procrastinating... I may have been playing Minecraft.

Anyway! I'm going on a trip! Yep! A friend of mine and her family invited me to go with them to the beach for a week! We're gonna stay in their RV, so that should be fun. ^_^

I'm really excited because I've never been where we're going before, and it'll be the longest time I've been away from home! I know, that's lame, but this is a super big deal for me. I'm also staying with people I haven't stayed with before, so I'm just going to experience all sorts of new things! Amongst other things, I'm bringing my camera, so there will be a lot of pictures (I promise!), and I'm bringing my journal and my ukulele for maximum levels of fun.

That means that I, unfortunately, won't be posting. Hopefully Olive will! I'm so sorry we've been slacking on posting, guys. We're really trying to get this blog on a constant roll. It's just taking us awhile.

In other news, July Camp NaNoWriMo is just around the corner! I'll be gone for a whole week, so that may take away from my writing and planning time, but I think I'll be able to handle it. I think I'm going to re-write the novel I wrote back in November. Y'know, shape it up, flatten it out, put in chapter breaks.

Are any of you guys doing Camp? If so, leave a comment telling us about it! Are you nervous, scared? Do you have that "I can do this, no problem!" attitude? Do you even know what you're going to be writing?

And if you're not doing Camp, I suggest you sign up!

That's all from me today, guys. Have a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you July 1st! :)

Dude. I am SO not ready for this.

By the way, how do you guys like the new digs? Designed them myself. :)

So. I start school in eight days. I'm not too thrilled about this, but whatever.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M NOT READY FOR!

I'm not ready for Camp! Camp NaNoWriMo! No! August! I can't! I'm too busy!

I'm running a blog, co-running another, getting ready for school, friends want to see me this week, I have three scarves that I have to make before the cold season, and keep the house clean and just so much stuff!

I know, compared to most people, that isn't very much. But for me, a person who is very laid back and doesn't hurry to do things and doesn't have a lot of plans most of the time, this is a lot. And I'm going to have to get used to that. Going to have to get used to managing my time accordingly.

Camp came way too fast. I know what I'm going to write for Camp, but I'm not sure if I'm actually going to make it this month. Again.

It all comes back to time. And time management. Set a little bit of time each day aside for writing, some for crocheting, a bit for blogging and managing the blogs, updating my tumblr, actually getting some outside time, reading, and all of that other important stuff. I just have to set my priorities straight and do whatever is right.

Time is merely an illusion, and yet we continue to allow it to control our lives.

Think about that, dear readers.

Good luck, and happy writing.
