NaNo Update!

Needless to say, this was not my year for NaNoWriMo at all. I just didn't have the time but I hope everyone who reads this and is doing NaNo, has done a great job. Even if you didn't get far or you won't finish this year, I respect you for even trying. Writing is a great thing and I totally support anyone who wants to do it :)

Full Dark, No Stars

If you read Stephen King books, then you know how crazy (yet wonderful) his stories and novels can be. Stephen King is wonderful for his Sci-Fi books and his horror books that take us out of our world and put us into kind of..well a "mirrored" world. However, Full Dark, No Stars contains of 4 stories that could happen everyday. All situations in this book are pretty much possible and he takes his characters and makes them react in a way that he believes they would if they were real people in these situations.

A man kills his Wife, A Woman gets attacked on a highway, A guy wants to live longer and doesn't care how and a woman finds out that she doesn't know her husband as well as she thought.

The situations in this book could be happening right now and we don't even know it. To me, that makes this book one of his creepiest. In my opinion, it also makes it one of his best. I highly recommend this book. Esp. you think you have King all figured out already.

Books Read this Year.

NaNoWriMo

Sorry I have not really been updating lately :( I just have work, school and now..NaNoWriMo! I am way behind in NaNo but I am mainly doing it just to get my novel going. If I can complete NaNo and have at least 100 extra pages for my novel to take off, great. It's just a great for motivating myself to keep working on it this month.

If you are taking place in Nano, how are you doing so far?
