My main computer is fixed! I now have access to a world of knowledge and the powers of Adobe Flash Player 10!
But...we must mourn...for the hard drive that caused the computer to die in the first place could not be saved...
There were so many unspeakably awesome files saved to that hard drive...
*moment of science*
*bolt of lightning and chemical explosion in background*
Amazing what a simple typo can do. *pulls umbrella from hammerspace as bits of failed, exploded science experiments rain from the sky*
So now two months of animation ideas will be poured into the Alice Program...as soon as it installs...*stares at screen and wills computer to run fastah*

Word Count Goal Reached!
I won! I won NaNoWriMo 2010! My fancy badge stuck to the blog should show up in a bit in my writing blog.
I would say that I wrote a novel in 30 days...but I kind of didn't. You see, 15,000 words is just halfway through the novel.
So, this is the tale of my novel's creation...
September something 2010. We sign up for NaNoWriMo, I, being ambitious, aim for 25,000 words. Ben and Jake aim for word counts higher than their grade levels, too.
November starts. I, being procastinative, (I made up a word there) didn't come up with an idea for my novel. So I start writing at random and hope that something happens. Jake and Ben already had novel ideas, and they begin with ease.
Halfway through November. My word count is rising like molasses going uphill in January with crutches. Mom lowers my goal to 20,000 words to try to help, lowers Ben's word count goal too. Jake's novel zooms along peacefully, frequently e-mailing it to friends for reliable spellchecking.
November 27th. I catch a cold and lose all motivation to continue the novel. I give up on it at 13,003 words.
November 30th, 2010. Word goal lowered (again) to 15,000 words, which is still a goal recommended for 10th graders. Everybody in the house reaches the goal with ease.
