Okay, so I have a few things.
First, I am proud to say that I finished reading The Princess Bride last week. If you haven't read it or seen the movie, then I will just say that you are crazy and need to watch/read it. I would recommend watching it though, because I think I like the movie better.
Really, I'm impressed. The dialogue in most parts is word for word, and what they changed in the movie was for the better.
What I really hated about the book was 1. the fact that S. Morgenstern liked to go on and on about things and 2. he made Buttercup a selfish brat. In the movie, she was a very selfless, likable character. In the book, she wasn't selfless at ALL. I mean, the things they changed in the movie was some of the things she said, and they didn't really say how mean she was to Westley before she all of a sudden loved him.
Anyway, now, to continue, I would like to say that I am now taking on the task of reading The Host, since its huge and the movie was pretty sweet. I also had a lot of time to read today, since I had several tests.
So far, I'm seeing a little bit of Morgenstern--the whole stretching things and going on about random stuff. That's okay, but my mind can NOT deal with that sometimes.
Now, I would like to obsess about NaNoWriMo--national novel writing month. Its a thing where you write 50,000 words in 30 days (all of November) and I'm actually doing really well. By tonight, I need to have 25,000 words to be on track, and I'm just past 22,000 (Since I skipped writing yesterday). Its manageable.
The thing about it, though, is a constant ping pong game. You're ahead one day, then you blink and you're 5,000 words behind. Its fun, but kinda stressful too since I know I need to do it. Its a challenge that I'm determined to do, you know? And that is why I'm a freak. Ha, not really. Well.... I dunno. Am I a freak? Probably. *shrug*.
Well, now I'm wrapping up. You can go back to your lives now.
Thanks for reading (it was probably torture, so I'm very pleased if you made it this far)
Stay determined. Trust me, its worth it in the end.
