My NaNoWrimo Inspiration List | 2015 + Schedule Updates

[ It's Rin Here! ]

Did you hear the news? Well, I signed up for NanoWrimo 2015! :D 

I figured that I actually needed a solid reason to write for long periods of time and not die while trying. I guess having a due date is so much easier for me to accomplish this. Since this is the first year that I am going to be writing my own story (and the first story that I will actually finish) It actually took me awhile to get used to the idea that "whah, I actually have to write a story now and I can't slack off." Of course, there is the major possibility that I will end up slacking off, my explanation being that I am Rin and I slack off on everything (which is very very bad). 

Nanowrimo is lovely and eye opening, but it also means one thing. I don't want to go on a hiatus, because I know that I'm going to have to take a hiatus somewhere during the holidays, so starting on this day, posts will only go up on Monday, Wednesday, Occasionally Thursday (like one is a hundred occasionally), and Friday since I am very intent on finishing the 50,000 word count. Don't worry, it will go back to it's original schedule by mid-December.

Look at the beautiful and organized (that's a first) calendar that I made instead of doing my homework!

I'll still on social media (links in sidebar if you're new here) if you guys have any comments, questions, or just want to stop by to say hello! Don't worry, I'm friendly ;D 

But be warned! I am writing a horror story-as horror as horror can get if I write it.

my story

I'm not crazy! I just really wanted to test my skills on writing in the horror genre. Which I kind of did when my teacher from last year asked my class to write short stories. This year however, I am going into the war with full on horror mode. I'm hoping that ending result will be the horror that I'm looking for. 

Anywho! The main idea of the story is about a girl who gets stuck in a video game. The video game just happens to be a horror/thriller/mystery game *whistles silently*. For those of you asking "what game is it going to be/what game are you basing it off of?" You see, I'm actually basing the video game in the story off of a real video game. I had to watch the entire gameplay (which I knocked over in one week! 7 hours!) to actually write the story. 

It was just my luck when I discovered that the game was only available on the PS4. I was hoping to use an Xbox (because that would rock!) but that's not happening (can you hear me pouting?).

Well, I Like Writing Not-So-Long Reviews | In Which I Try to Discuss Things

[ It's Rin Here!]

This post was supposed to go up last Thursday. But much to my annoyance, the post was somehow deleted, so I rewrote the whole entire thing (can you hear my voice drop octaves?). Enjoy my second draft of Well, I Like Writing Not-So-Long Revews (Where Rin tries to discuss things and tries to actually make sense). This was originally longer, but...

For the kind of short time that I've been blogging, I've had this one question in my head for a long time. The question that comes to mind is "Do I have to write really long reviews/long posts to be a good blogger?"

Do I? 

(Gif is Borrowed form the Web)

At least I didn't know at that time. 

I guess I thought about things more and realized some things about myself and about what makes me happy. I don't want to blog and feel bad about what I post. I don't want to dislike blogging at all, because I love blogging. I didn't have a life before I started blogging. Blogging and book blogging in general just helped me become more of myself (well, it also helped me keep track of books). I actually had something to look forward to doing. (a-c) 

a) Writing these no-so-long reviews work well with my schedule.  All of you know it, and so does that rest of the world. School is consuming. It takes up all of time, all if effort, and all of my energy. I wake up feeling tired and worn out. I'm comfortable writing reviews that make me happy and not feel rushed. I don't want to post a review that is long and rushed and feel bad about it in the future. 

b) I like being my straight forward, weird self (gifs included). When I write reviews, I try to make them as professional as possible, while still trying to keep my voice and and what I would totally say in it. So, yes, I do get straight to the point, but this is my inner voice (where are you going with this, Rin?) and the voice in my head doesn't waste too much time trying to describe everything. 

c) I don't want to spoil people. I will not even be joking about this! So many people that I've known for a long time will always be trying to spoil books for me! Why? They honestly think that it is funny. I've been pissed off many times and have plugged my ears a few times and ran away, but I don't want any of you guys to feel that way. I want to be able to share my thoughts about a book or a show that doesn't spoil anything. If I loved a book, I would love for you guys to go through the journey eager and ready (of course I kind of want jaw dropping and "OMG'S" in the mix :D). 

If you're happy, then I'm happy. Do whatever make you happy and comfortable with the choices you make and choose to act on.  

It usually works out in the end.
