plot&paper project

hayyylooooo, lovie-doves.
back in computer apps, yet again!
and today, i don't have make-up work to finish, so free time!

acting class is simply amazing. i have the best acting partner.
we don't have assigned partners, but everybody pretty much stays with the same partner everyday.
his name is levi. and he is... adorable.

shut up, leila.

have you, dear readers, ever done the mirror exercise?
if so, you know just how tricky it is to move at the same time as the other person.
levi and i are scarily good at it.
plus, we've been working on "contentless scenes" where we, for example, count to ten, back and forth, while kind of acting out a scene. like a girl who has a crush on the football star (that one was way fun, though i think i may have been a little too good at it...) or like one person was going to murder the other.

very fun stuff.

but, the main reason for this post is because of the lovely glenna's (p.s. i ♥ your name!) plot and paper project.

most of you, i assume, have heard of NaNoWriMo.
that's national novel writing month, for those of you who don't know who that is.
i still plan on participating, unless i get really swamped.
one story at school, one at home.

NaNoWriMo's end-of-the-month goal is 50,000 words.

the plot and paper project is a novel written entirely by hand - no typing. the goal is 180 pages by december 31.
since i prefer writing by hand and i am obsessed with pretty notebooks and pens, this project is perfect for me.

so, i'm in.

i'll likely be posting progress reports on either thursdays or sundays -- sometimes even both.

xoxo,
rissa

Ooh, yay! I'm doing Plot and Paper Project, too -- and update every Wednesday. In fact, I also have a progress bar. :D

Good luck with it!

I remember taking acting class in high school. I loved it so much I wound up joining the Drama Club. My claim to fame is having beat out all the upperclassmen to play Juliet in Romeo & Juliet. When I was a sophomore, might I add. Good times. :D

Hey there! I love writing on paper too. I've almost written 400 pages on paper. eek! two more days of writing, and it'll be time to type it in. oh my poor wristies!
what is about writing by hand that you prefer? I think my stuff comes out...better, but who knows?
