January was definitely not a good writing month… 16,445 words out of the 62,500 words that was my goal. I only wrote 3,000 words for JanNoWriMo. I hope that February will be a better month!
Writing Goals for January
I didn’t get enough of writing in November when I participated in NaNoWriMo for the first time. December was a calm month, I only wrote 6k words, compared to the 52k+ words I wrote in November… “I’ll get a fresh start in January, then!” I thought. Well, I kind of make some progress, but not that much, haha! Here are my goals for January:
Per Oscarsson Dead
The night before New Year’s Eve, the house of Per Oscarsson (a famous Swedish actor) burnt down to the ground. Yesterday it was confirmed that he and his wife died in the fire. He was 83. It feels so sad that they got this ending.
Zac Got a Baby Girl!
I just read the big news – Zac Hanson has got another child, a baby daughter! Junia Rosa Ruth Hanson was born on December 15. How amazing that is!
Michael Jackson Wrote Song For Hanson?
Apparently, Michael Jackson wrote a song that he intended to give to Hanson, but he never got around to send it to them so the demo remained in a drawer. It was supposedly written during the time when Jackson wrote songs for his album “Invincible”, so it’s quite some years ago. The song, produced and remixed, can be found on the recently released Michal Jackson album.
As Life and Death
I haven’t listened to Nordman in ages, but now I got it into my head to do that. I had forgotten how much I love this type of music!
I Won!
Last night I won NaNoWriMo! I’m so wonderfully happy right now. Actually I wasn’t sure I would make it, but apparently I was determined enough to win. So I have validated and got the beautiful purple mark in the NaNo forums. But the last chapter isn’t finished yet.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1
Last Saturday I went to the cinema and (finally!!) watched “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1″. That’s the movie I’ve been longing for the most this year. And I wasn’t disappointed. Without a doubt it’s the best Harry Potter movie so far, and now I’m crossing my fingers that part 2 will be at least as good. Almost everything felt connected and understandable. Very neat and very skillful.
Song of Today!
After finally finishing and handing in the memorandum, and cleaned my room after the past week of chaos, I’m in a party mood. So here’s a song!
Excited about NaNoWriMo!
I’m really excited about this challenge! 50,000 words in 30 days. The longest piece of fiction I ever wrote before was a couple of handwritten pages where most of it were almost identical to my favorite books in a wonderful mixture… But now the goal is a (short) novel, 50,000 words, as I said. I will make it!
