I woke up, had some doctors use me to demonstrate how to use some heart-scanning thingie (my dads a cardiologist, and sometimes uses me as a test subject for his hospitals funky heart things), practiced voice, won NaNoWriMo (more on that later), read half of John Greens Paper Towns, and then went onto blogger to dutifully complete my blog post for the day. BUT THEN I saw a blog post that had been written in my blog posts place. The title of this was What I Would do to Mark for Missing his Post. I looked at this. I stared. I checked my calendar to see when the last posts had been written, to see if I had miscounted days. But no! Laura had written her usual post on the 28'th. And today is the 29'th!
Of course, I was shocked that I was falsely accused of missing my blog post. But I still will heed my promise to make a post on this blog every other day, and so here it is. Now I have two subjects for today, so let me dive right in with the first, 'what I would do if Laura falsely accused me of missing a day of blogging.'
1. I would, as I previously stated, be shocked.
2. I would write a blog post aimed to humiliate her on her inability to keep track of days of the week. The day was not yet done, my sister! In fact it probably was, Halifax time. But still, for me, it's not!
3. Nah, I'm just joking sis. No hard feelings. I was just hurt that you thought I wouldn't keep my side of the bargain! (sniff sniff) ;)
Seeing as I'm not a very vengeful person, I'll leave my punishment at that. Also, I can't think of any good punishments that I could impose upon my sister. And so instead, I'll move onto part two...
What I Would do if I Won NaNoWriMo
Today I won NaNoWriMo! Hooray, hooray! And a day early, I might add. Oh, this could be part of my punishment for Laura; I can rub it in that I won!
You see, at one point in the month I fell slightly behind in NaNoWriMo, and Laura said something along the lines of "Well, I'm not really surprised." Of course, by this she only meant that she knew that NaNo was difficult. I, however, took this as a personal challenge. In fact, I think that it's partially the reason I won NaNo. But now, I can rub it in. Take that! :) And so that I don't ramble for to long here, lets jump right in.m This is what I did when I won NaNo...
1. Upon approaching 50 000 words, I was quite literally shaking with excitement. I was sort of writing in a daze, which was convenient because my main character was in a daze as well. He'd just been shot, you see.
2. At 49 950 words, my father came and told me that he needed his computer. Dutifully, I gave it to him.
3. When I got it back, I wrote my remaining fifty words, at which point I felt an extreme sense of accomplishment and punched my bed in celebration. I would have whooped and cheered, but we had company downstairs, so...
4. I wrote a few hundred more words, and was just about to officially validate my novel on the NaNoWriMo site when I was called downstairs for supper. Really?
5. After supper I sent out texts to both my sisters, gloating.
6. Then I sank back happily, and proclaimed to the world; "World, you should do NaNoWriMo!" And that means you, reader.
Anyways, I should probably go, 'cause I've still got some more words to write for my novel to reach completion. In the meantime, thanks for reading, and I will, naturally, see you in two days.
-Mark
