Why I Decided to Throw in the Towel for NaNoWriMo 2020

-

 Eeepp. It's been almost a month since I last posted. 

Anyway, here goes. 😜

<><><>

Those who know me well, know that I am a very slow writer. On a good day, my writing speed is 10 wpm, but typically it falls under 5. I’ve also never written anything that’s over 10K before. (And that one took me three months to finish draft one. 😆) Plus, I kind of knew at the beginning that I probably wouldn’t reach 50K by the 30th.

Now, to be honest, I’m not quitting because my story is horrible. I am in love with my story. Besides, this is my very first NaNoWriMo and I went in completely blind and unprepared. For starters, we were in a whole other state for the first week of November. School has also been a hindrance this month. I wasn’t able to successfully start until the 11th because of it. 

Quitting will give me a lot more time to the other things I love and will put less stress on me when it comes to finishing 50K in 30 days. And maybe next year I’ll be able to go in prepared and ready because of this. aND, I have April and July to practice! So, maybe next year's the year. ^-^

So, yeah. 

Many thanks to those who took time out of their day to read this. 

Until next time, Farren ♡

Short Story: Heroism in the Midst of Stupidity

Guess who finished school two days early! 😃 Yep, this girl.  One of my final assignments was a short story on heroism and I'm really proud of how it turned out so I'm sharing it with you guys. ^-^ Hope you enjoy! <><><> “Hey Tim, did you ask your parents if you can go to camp this year?” Timothy was standing in front of his locker, taking one final look at the small space that had housed his school supplies for almost two years now. Only one more year before he graduated elementary school. Lilly elbowed him gently. “Yeah. Sign-ups close in a week.” Lilly and Kai had been bugging him since February about attending the camp they participated in every year: Camp Eagle. “Not yet.” Timothy slammed his locker door shut, heaving his backpack higher on his shoulder. “Come on, pleaseee?” Kai put on a mock puppy-eyes face to emphasize his question. He smiled laughingly at them both and playfully socked Kai. “Okay, fine. I’ll ask them today.” “Yes! Thank you! You won’t

I Am Thankful For…

 Anddd, I knew this would happen. *facepalm* Sorry for not keeping with my intended schedule, guys. Life’s been pretty crazy lately, what with school starting up again and then preparing for Christmas.  I am thankful for internet. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to contact my friends, access my homework, or go to virtual classes.  ~ Farren

Happy 2021 (plus a blog tag!)

*runs in* *skids a bit too much and crashes into the wall* *runs back to where I’m supposed to be* heyoooo guys~! Sorry that this post is so late! Happy 2021! Wow. 2020 is over and done with. “Well, that was very anticlimactic.” -Literally every movie like ever <><><> 2020 was definitely a hard one for all of us — some more than others. Anxiety and depression fell like a thick curtain over us all. Isolation is a less than ideal place to be. We’ve all learned that in one way or another this year. 2020 started out as an amazing year for me. I turned 14 mid-January. I started hanging out twice as much with my best friend. I joined the student leadership committee at my youth group. I had a surreal time at camp with my friends. Life was finally turning up for me. I was getting the hang of my classes. I was making new friends. It couldn’t have gotten better than that. March seventeenth. My friend texts me, “Hey! Have you heard about the new executive order?” And, of course
