NaNoWriMo: 2nd week

November 12th, 2011 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

This week has been harder than the previous one, I’ve passed the milestone of 20K words though. I’ve realised that I’ve focused too much on the main plot line and I haven’t developped the secoundary ones too much. I think I should go back and include some pieces of information here and there. However, I will do it after the Nano. How is your writing going on?

I also found out very hard to start writing but as soon as I’m doing it, the words come out easlily and the characters speak more fluently during this week. Now let’s see how the third week is going on. My concern now is that maybe my plot is not enough for 50K words. Any advice?

NaNoWriMo: 5th day

November 5th, 2011 by you

english spanish 

Today is the 5th NaNoWriMo’s day and the fist day was very tough. The first 2K words were hard to write, silly and maybe not the right ones but I didn’t want to stop or quit here. Now, after 8K, it seems easier like if all the words before were just a warming up.

In your cases, what was the hardest part? What is helping you out? For me, my plot scheme is a life-saver that helps me to not get lost. I’m also finding very helpful to read my NaNoWriMo colleagues in G+ to see how they are doing (to be honest, I’m not having too much for browsing the forum).

Now let’s move my fingers and get some writing done!

NaNoWriMo

October 16th, 2011 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 



I’ve just enrolled to NaNoWriMo and if you know what it is about, it’s a challenge to write 50K word novel in 30 days during November. Now during this month, I’m working on the plot and characters. Any suggestion? I’ve found this link and it looks pretty interesting.

Are you going to take part? If so, please add me in the NaNoWriMo website.

Heroes, idols and so on…

September 24th, 2011 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 



Everybody has a favourite actor, singer or artist. A person who inspire us or makes us feel admiration. I guess this is different from one person to another but for me, I do value the honesty. I mean when an artist share with us how s/he is showing us his/her weakness and strengths. When s/he dares to confess what mistakes s/he has committed or what kills them inside.

They use their art to show what they’re feeling, their own fears and happiness making us to be part of it. It’s like the old times heroes need to be seen vulnerable to be understood and respected.

In my case, one of this idols is Tori Amos and I leave this interview with you where she talks about her miscarriadges and how there is a light at the end of the tunnel. However, I would like to mention a band named Blue October that I’ve found out recently and with interviews like this one makes me respect and admire them. I hope you like them.

And what about you? What makes you admire an artist?

New York, New York

September 17th, 2011 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

Our trip last stop was New York. It’s a stunning city that makes you feel like you already know it; we didn’t have time to go out from Manhattan though. I hope to be back and with a better weather!

Las Vegas

August 21st, 2011 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

Las Vegas is a Disneyland for adults. You can find everything and everything huge! We were only a couple of days and we would like to go back again. Not because of the casinos but all the entertainment that this city can offer. You only have to name it and they have it! We went to Harley Davidson shop, in the Grand Canyon and of course, we got married again!

Vancouver

english spanish 

The last stop in Canada was Vancouver and although its city centre was so full of beggards and homeless that some places looked like the apocalypsis. The rest of the city is beautiful though. For sure, we will go back some day!

Toronto

August 5th, 2011 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

The honeymoon trip next stop was Toronto and Niagara Falls. I’ve found Toronto more “american” than Montreal and Ottawa. A lot influenced by the so-cold winters. I fell for it since the first moment.
