ocean eyes (prep)



Hey guys! who has ever heard of NaNoWriMo? Well that's what I'm going to be doing this November!! :) In the last few days, I've been prepping and getting all hyped about it. So you can see a little of what it's going to be like, here's some of what i've been doing:


Here's my pinterest board. It's so much fun trying to find exactly what my character's will look like and act like. You should be able to get the general feel from my board. :)

This is the playlist I've assembled to write to. It's not entirely finished yet, but it's going to be filled with music similar to the music already on there.

Here is a little thing I did to help get to know my character:

listening ...to the waves hitting the beach, the wind in my ears
seeing ...the ocean change from green to blue to grey and back again, his face play over and over in my mind
feeling ...the sea breeze on my face and in my hair, amazed that California could really be this wonderful in spite of everything
believing ...that this was meant to be. 
waiting ...for something amazing to happen. 
loving ...my dear family. 
learning ...that some things just don't last forever, but when they end, new things and better things are coming. 
missing ...Alex and Minnesota (i think she lives there at first but not sure)
hoping ...that this summer is going to be just as amazing as it seems. 
doing ...nothing in particular. 

So now you know what I've been up to. Maybe next time I'll share an excerpt with you. :) Is anyone else doing NaNo this year?
