NanoWriMo Countdown!

There is just a little it more than 24 hours to finish my novel and quite frankly, I think if I make the time, I will be able to finish it before the time is up. Overall, this has been a very interesting experience. The pressure to write hasn't been my favorite thing, however I know that if I wasn't given a time frame, I would never end up finishing the novel. What was your word goal? Do you like your novel?

Book 3 and Nano Wrimo

I didn't find book three as interesting at book 2, however it is defiantly getting better as I read on. The plot is developing farther and I am able to understand it more than book 1. Even though this book wasn't as hard for me to read as book 1, I am planning on re-reading it before reading onto book 4 to fully understand what was happening.


My novel is coming along well. I am continuing to write everyday, but sometimes I am not typing it as I write, so I don't always know how much I write everyday. Even though I don't for surely know, I am trying my hardest to reach my goal of 30,000 words at the end of November.

The Odyssey Book 2

While reading the second book in The Odyssey, I found myself to be able pay attention to what was happening much easier than Book 1. I thought that there was a lot more exciting things going on in Book 2. When Telemachus set sail at the end of the book, it really got interesting and made me want to continue to read and move on to book 3! I didn't feel the need to active read as much as I did in book 1 mostly because it was much easier to understand now that I have gotten farther along. Overall this book was much more enjoyable than the previous one.

The Odyssey Book 1.

This week we were to read book one of  The Odyssey. I personally didn't know what to expect from this book before I started reading it. In the beginning I found the text to be complicated and confusing, so I re-read it multiple times. As the story went on, it was easier for me to understand. However, I found that the active reading helped me remember what I was reading a lot better than if I just read the whole thing straight through. I'm not going to say if I like the book yet, because just reading book one doesn't give me a feel for what the whole book will be about, or if I like it. I can't wait to read more so I can understand more of what is happening!
