Night in a Box is a city-wide event in my town to raise money for the local homeless shelter. Church youth groups join together in a parking lot and sleep in cardboard boxes. This year was the 8th year for the event but Colonial's first, at least that I remember. Our box was easily the biggest. It held our entire group. It started at 5pm and runs until 7am. I left around midnight.</div>

I'm joining a team from my church for a weeklong mission trip to Haiti at the beginning of June. We're going to join up with <a href="http://healinghaiti.org/pages/MissionTripSchedule2014/" target="_blank">Healing Haiti</a> on the trip. There are 14 of us altogether going.<br />
<br />
While we're there, we'll be delivering water, rocking babies, visiting with elderly people, playing with children, and more. I believe we'll be spending more of our time in Port au Prince.<br />

</ul>
<br />
<br />
While I won't have internet or my phone during the day, in the evenings, the guesthouse we're staying at does have wifi, so I'll be able to post about what I did that day! I won't have pictures until I get home because the team leader will have the only camera. We'll bring them all home on a memory stick.<br />
<br />
I'm excited/nervous about the trip. It will be my first major mission trip. I've gone to Tulsa and Arlington and done VBS's for kids, but this is a whole different ball game. I'm one of the youngest on the trip, along with a friend who's my age and two girls from up north that none of us know yet, but I'm still looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
I've slowly been gathering up what I need to take with. I bought a protein powder to take to drink for lunch. We'll be provided breakfast and dinner, but our lunches will be out in the field so we have to take our own food. I bought some long skirts to wear to church on the Sunday and to The Hospital for Sick and Dying Babies that we'll visit on one day. I still need lots of basketball shorts. We have strict rules about dress.<br />
<br />
<b>We've been asked to bring donations for the trip, so we're all working on gathering items. The donations will go in the checked luggage.</b><br />

<br />
It's officially 100 days until Orlando, or as we (or at least me,) affectionately call it, "Holiday 1960."<br />
<br />
There are six of us that are going to stay at a fabulous new Universal resort that's 50s themed! It has a diner, a bowling alley, and all sorts of cool things!<br />

We're going to go to Disney World, and maybe Universal, and maybe the Kennedy Space Center, and maybe a drive-in movie! We're still deciding.<br />

Flashback: Last year, I went to LifeChurch OKC with my fellow youth leaders at church. We were going on a field trip to see how a different youth group operates. It was a wonderful trip and when we got home, I "liked" the church on Facebook.<br />
<br />
Flashforward: I logged on to Facebook last week and lo and behold, I see a post from LifeChurch. It's inviting people to go attend a live sermon taping of Judah Smith.<br />
<br />
Now, about Judah Smith. I heard him first in London at Hillsong Church. I also heard him at Hillsong Conf. Then I heard him at PassionConf Houston. I shared the post and asked if anyone wanted to road trip.<br />
<br />
SOMEONE DID. My friend Cici, who I went to PassionConf with, said she'd go with. The next day, another girl had joined our merry little band.<br />
<br />
So on Monday morning, I went to classes. Monday afternoon, we offed to Edmond. The event started at 4, but we had to get there at 3:30 to get seated. We ended up getting there around 3 and drove around the campus lost for a bit. When we headed inside, we got pointed to Studio B and found some seats.<br />

Until Sunday morning, I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't know how many people would be there, what the room would look like, anything. Then on Sunday morning at youth, we watched a Switch video, which is LifeChurch's youth group. The video was filmed in the room above and it was of Hillsong New York's pastor. It was really neat being in the same room. And who knows, in August, the youth group might be watching the video of Judah Smith and I can say "Listen! You can hear me clapping!!"<br />
<br />
About 15 til, they did a small worship set and Craig Groeschel came out and talked for a bit. He had us all stand and welcome Judah Smith, but then told us he was going to welcome him again and for us not to stand this time. Since they were filming, we had to do some things twice.<br />
<br />
After his first message, both Judah and Craig changed shirts because "it's a different week."<br />
<br />
Judah talked about the same basic thing both times.<br />
<br />
Sermon one was about God's love for us being not phileo love, but agape love. Sermon two was about how God does everything because HE loves US. Not because WE love HIM. It wasn't "For the world so loved God...." but instead "For God so loved the world..."<br />
<br />
Kevin Durant was there listening, but I didn't know it was him.<br />

Arlington. Orlando.<br />
<br />
This summer will be a fun one, y'all.<br />
<br />
I'm spending a week in Haiti on a church mission trip. 38 days.<br />
<br />
I'm spending a week in Arlington on a youth mission trip. 78 days.<br />
<br />
I'm spending a week in Orlando with a group of friends. 107 days.<br />
<br />
I'm sure a family vacation will jump in there too.<br />
<br />
Be prepared for fun blog posts starting in approximately 45 days. Some may come sooner, but definitely after Haiti. There will probably be several after Haiti. I won't make one massive post. I'll probably do four or five.<br />

Year four Puerto Vallarta is over with! We stayed five nights this year. Because of spring breaks, half of our group went the week prior, but next year, we've figured it out to where we can overlap our vacations!<br />

After eating lunch and heading back to the bus, we drove to Punta de Mita. There's a sister resort to ours that we wanted to check out. If we wanted to, we could stay there. On the way, we passed a forest fire. It wasn't bad, but it looked like it had been before we passed it. There were firemen all around.<br />

When we got to the sister resort, we kind of wandered the grounds until our tour started. All of a sudden, we started hearing the kids giggling and shrieking. We walked down the steps and one of them yells "We found a water slide!" All their shirts were in a pile and they were lining up to go down. This resort had one child staying at it. This was more activity than this hotel had seen since it opened.<br />

After seeing the rooms, we headed back to our hotel. We didn't have time to go to the beach that day, but we did go to the Mexican fiesta!<br />
<br />
On our last beach day, we sat in our chairs and had food and drink brought to us from morning tip night. I went out boogie boarding with the other kids for a spell, but someone claimed to see a water snake so I got back on land fast. The whole trip there had been marine life in the ocean. One whole day was lost because of stingrays. </div>

Leaving was sad, as always, but we've already booked for next year! It'll be the best one yet, especially because we'll end up going to Pipi's as a group. For the first time, we didn't go this year. We took the road trip instead. </div>

I've been waiting for this day for months. At 8:30 am, my parents, my friend Cici, and I loaded up the car to head to Houston. In Houston was Passion Conference. It's a big Christian college conference put on by Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin. It's usually in Atlanta, but this year there was one in Houston too.<br />

We joined the clump for a bit, but then decided we had an hour to wait. We walked around the building. On the other side, there was an organized system with two forming lines. </div>

We waited in line for a while, and then they finally let us inside. We rushed inside and tried to figure out the best seats. Did we want to sit on the floor? Did we want to sit in the center? We pretty much had first pick, so we settled for some seats about five rows from the ground, diagonal to the stage. We could see everything!</div>

His main message was "How do I know if I've seen Jesus?"</div>

<ul>
<li>It's not <i>the </i>cross, but <i>your </i>cross.</li>
<li>You know God was not a passive bystander at the cross; he was the instigator of the wrath.</li>
<li>You know God's wrath poured out on Christ obliterated our curse.</li>
<li>You know your past is gone.</li>
<li>We see we are crushed by God's grace.</li>

When he was done speaking, Hillsong United came out and did a worship set. I love Hillsong. After that, we got a taxi and headed back to the hotel at around 1 am.<br />

The next morning came sooner than I wanted. We were back at the center by 8 to get seats for the 9:30 session. It started with Crowder and he was amazing. Then Shelley Giglio came out and introduced some special guests.<br />

I've never really had a bucket list. I've always said things were on it, but I'd never made one. Well, I made one. I followed </span><a href="http://ryaneller.com/" style="line-height: 24px;" target="_blank">Ryan Eller's</a><span style="line-height: 24px;"> format, </span><a href="http://ryaneller.com/bucketlist/bucket-list-by-threes/" style="line-height: 24px;" target="_blank">bucket list by threes</a><span style="line-height: 24px;">, but slightly modified it by putting literally everything I want to do in the categories instead of just three things. I think I have around 120 items as of today (2/6/14,) but will add to it as I think of more things. Of course the travel and adventure categories are the longest!</span></div>

Along with it, I got about 50 records from my grandpa and one from my sisters. Since then, I have doubled my collection. I now have 117 records, though have aren't my style.<br />
<br />
I only have a few that I listen too all the time, but I do try to play a new one every few days.<br />
<br />
I started with just browsing eBay, to see what they had. Then I bought a lot of 19. And then a lot of 15. And then 5. And then I started checking the auctions. I have nine somewhere along the postal system right now.<br />

When I was a kid, Michael Martin Murphey played at the Wichita Theatre every Christmas and we went. Wildfire and Geronimo's Cadillac and Fiddlin' Man are the best songs ever and this record has them all. We have a Christmas ornament that he signed years back.<br /><br />

The records in here are ones that I listen to on occasion, but not as much as the shelf records. I also have a box under my bed with 50 of the records from the 50s that I probably won't listen to.<br />

The nine I have in the mail now are mostly 45s. I have a Beatles album too, but most are Lou Monte children's 45s. Because I bought those, I obviously had to get a rack for them...I bid on one that came with a Beatles 45, but I was severely outbid, so I found another and bought it.</div>

<i><br /></i>
I love Puerto Vallarta. That is no question. I spring break there every year with a big group of people. There were only five this time, though, so it was a bit different.<br />
<br />
We started by taking a taxi to the Malecon, where all the action happens. It's the ocean view street in town. We only had about 200 people try to sell us things, so it was all good!<br />
<br />
We also find wifi all over the road, so yay for that!<br />

Two people climbed up the pole and and began winding a rope around the top. When they were done, two others climbed up too. They played some music as they sat on the square at the top and then tied themselves up and fell over. The winded rope made them spin as they descended so they soon reached the ground.<br />

We made a stop by the cathedral that we always pass because it's so beautiful. There was a mass going on so we didn't go inside.<br />

<br />
Then we walked to Pipi's. It's a favorite for us. The servings are massive and we all have the WIFI code. We took the back route because we never know which street to turn on. If you just walk left from the cathedral, you'll eventually hit it. We made a note of which Malecon road takes us there though, so we'll be good next time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When we got back on the boat, I noticed something. Our first time in Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to go to the bull fights, but it had been shut down (Thanks PETA.) The bull ring was right outside our boat! It looks like it's still running, but it isn't. It's just built well I guess. I always hope it'll come back so I can see it.<br />

We went to Mazatlán the next day. It had been several years since ships docked there. They had high crime for a while. We were their fifth boat in 10 months. Now, in March alone, they'll have 17! It was a beautiful city, so that's good.<br />

We did an excursion that showed us the whole town since we would have no clue what to do on our own. It was fun!<br />

The Cathedral in Mazatlan was built in the late 1800s with donor money. At one point right before it was finished, they ran out of money. A Jewish group in the area donated the rest needed. That's why in the top of the picture above, you can see a Star of David in between the towers. In each stained glass window inside, a Star of David is in the top.<div>

Mazatlán is famous for cliff divers, so we went and watched them too. When a crowd gathers, someone goes and jumps.<br />

The beach was kind of pathetic, so we just went back to the boat after the show and I didn't even take a picture. Believe it or not, I didn't touch any sand on the entire trip.</div>

<i><br /></i>
I've never been to Cabo before. My parents love it though. It was our first stop on the boat. We didn't have to make a time change here. We went crazy on time changes! We had to go back two hours once we got to LA. Forward one at both Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, and then back one each day for the next two. Once we got home, it was forward two more.<br />
<br />
But I digress...<br />
<br />
We got to Cabo a bit after noon on that day. All morning we sailed along the coast.<br />

We had to tender to the port, which means that the boat anchored in the middle of the water, not on a dock. We took boats to the dock from the ship. Our tenders were the lifeboats. It was really neat to see them being lowered.<br />

After the Cabo Wabo, we went back to the boat. We had until evening in town, but there wasn't much to do. I wanted to go to CrossFit Cabo, but dad said no. I'd probably go again, but stay at a hotel.<br />

She was right, mostly. The ice cream we'd found was scooped by a guy (plus the vanilla was sugarless, but that's another story.) The scooper was only open in the AFTERNOON. What?! Any cruisers KNOW that ice cream is a staple with every single meal. Upset, we kept walking and guess what she found?</div>

Cruise BINGO works like so:</div>
<div>
Buy your package for between $50 and $80. Open your Instant Wins and see you won $2. Tear your raffle tickets and put them in the gold drum. Decide who can play six cards and who only has the attention span for three. Play BINGO.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got the six card paper and Dad played the three. Daryl, being under 18, got to play one card for free. There are three games per BINGO game. </div>
<div>
-One line</div>
<div>
-Four corner</div>
<div>
-Blackout</div>
<div>
Blackout gives the biggest payoff.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
None of us did well at all the first two games and Daryl did horrible during blackout, but guess what?<br />

We then dominated at Broadway Tune trivia, but didn't win. There were three I didn't know. </div>

I remember not knowing the following:</div>

<br />
Each year, my family takes a cruise somewhere. Previously, we've done short cruises from Galveston to Cozumel. This year, we picked a week-long out of LA. We spent two days before boarding in Santa Monica because we'd never been before.<br />
<br />
We flew out on the Friday after Christmas and arrived around 2 pm LA time. The flight was mostly uneventful, but I did sit by a stranger. Ew. It was weird when we landed because we didn't have to go through customs. I haven't skipped customs in years!<br />
<br />
We took a cab to our hotel and found it shortly after. You can't miss it. It's turquoise!<br />

After finding our hotel and charging our phones an additional 2%, we headed to dinner. First we walked to 3rd Street, but there was no food there. We walked back to the Ocean Avenue and found a yummy place with fish. Mine still looked like fish.<br />

I went to a Christmas party a few days before Christmas. At this point, I was 99% sure I was getting a record player, in fact, I had already ordered a few myself. I had Michael Martin Murphey and a few Elvis records. At this party, I took part in a White Elephant gift exchange. I stole three records from someone that didn't even have a player! Though at the time, neither did I.<br />

On Christmas Eve, I got an awful lot of vintage stuff. I got two new dishes and a Dutch Oven (this was new.) I also got a cake breaker and a tea spoon thingy that looks like a medieval torture device. The highlight was a huge, heavy box that was unexpected filled with records. They all belonged to my Numa and most were in pristine condition.<br />
<br />
There was a Nat King Cole St. Louis Blues and an Ella Fitzgerald and a lot of 50's dance music.<br />
<br />
On Christmas morning, it was finally time to see if I was actually getting a record player or not.<br />

<div>
<b>Day 1</b></div>
<div>

<div>
I woke up at 6:30 to the news that the school district had shut down for the day. I had an 8 am class and the college was still open. Until 7:45, I kept refreshing the news website before leaving for school. I got home at 9. The sky was still bright. Nothing had fallen from the clouds yet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At this point, people on Facebook were complaining about using a snow day on a sunny day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I then went to the gym, fearing that the evening classes would be canceled. They were, so I'm glad I went. There, I made a 50# power clean PR. That was nice. My window had frozen over while I was working out. I then went to Starbucks. I was so positive that I'd be cooped up in the house the next few days that I wanted as much outside time as possible. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I got home, I saw that friend Mickey had started a new trend. People took a photo of themselves staring in horror at the sky and made it their profile picture.</div>
<div>

I then checked Facebook and saw that friend Melissa, who is in town for an event this weekend, wanted people to go to Gidget's with her. Other friend Patricia and I ended up there with her! We visited for about an hour and a half before Patricia had to go to work. We had to take horrified pictures first.<br />

My dad and I ventured to the new Natural Grocers store that just opened to check it out. I got a Paleo cookbook! After that, it was Sound of Music time.<br />
<br />
The show was wonderful, even though the internet infuriated me. People were saying that NBC rewrote a classic and that Carrie Underwood is no Julie Andrews, which is true, but they have no idea that Julie Andrews did not originate Maria. The "new" songs were from the stage show and it followed the script exactly.<br />

School was canceled again today, but I still woke up at 7:30. Roads were still icy and workouts were again canceled. I began to watch the American Open weightlifting meet online until we left the house. I saw my former coach Glenn and a girl I used to lift with before I quit.<br />
<br />
Then we left and went to United to get a Christmas tree for my great-grandma's hospital room. She fell and broke her hit the day prior and had surgery today to fix it. We decorated the tree.<br />

Then I went to work.<br />
<br />
I was supposed to work concessions at the Nutcracker tonight, but it was canceled due to weather. Instead my family went to see Frozen. It was the second time for Kacie and I, but the first for the rest. It was just as good the second time.<br />
<br />
<i>I'm not driving myself to Thanksmas and he won't take me, even though he is invited. I'm not going. #devastation</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>Day 3</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
There was already a fire when I woke up and the temperature is not supposed to go over 20 today. Sisters have to go to a dance rehearsal for a performance they're in tonight. I'm still super upset I don't get to go to Thanksmass tonight because I got my friend the world's best gift AND it's Thanksmass. I just can't miss it. Friends came in from out of town and I don't get to see them.<br />
<br />
But wait.<br />
<br />
I'm on my way to take my sisters to dance when my friend messages me. Thanksmass has been moved into town! It's going to be at the theatre and I can go now! Whoo hoo!<br />
<br />
After dropping my sisters off at dance, dad and I went to the gym to workout. We watched more American Open while we were there.<br />

So, the Snowpocalypse ended on a much better note. It's supposed to be above freezing on Sunday, so the roads will start to thaw out. Nearly every church in town is shut down in the morning though.<br />
<br />
<i>I went to Thanksmass.</i><br />

<b>Day 4</b><br />
<b><br /></b>By afternoon on Day 4, roads were melted enough to drive normally and thus concluded Snowpocolypse 2013. </div>

<br />
The day after Thankgiving is traditionally a boring day at my house. After we all band together to transport boxes from the attic to downstairs, we do nothing while my mom begins the Christmas decorating process.<br />
<br />
We decided that would change today.<br />
<br />
<b>Firstly</b>, my mom decided that she would clean out the attic after getting all of the boxes down. During that, she found me a few new toys.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a toy that my great-grandpa got for my mother. It's a little wooden outhouse bank. You load up a mousetrap inside and then put it together carefully. If you aren't careful, it falls and then the mousetraps pops and almost cuts off your finger. After that, you get a friend to drop in a quarter. It sets off the trap and they scream.</td></tr>

At 7:30, the pre-preview advertisements began to excited gasps around the room. When the lights dimmed at 8 pm, people squealed. After watching the previews, the crowd hushed as the lights offed.</i><br />
<i>The games began.</i><br />
<i>On November 21 at 8 pm, the premiere of Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games was released. Catching Fire follows the story of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark as they enter the arena for the second time, for the 75th Hunger Games. The twist is that in this Hunger Games, the only competitors in the arena were also former victors.</i><br />
<br />
Yup, I've still got it. #FormerHighSchoolJournalist<br />
Now, on to the more interesting stuff.<br />
<br />
Finally, the night we've all been waiting for. It's Catching Fire! I got tickets with my sister and her friends to go to the #eightpmshowing. I was upset at first about the time, because really, where's the excitement in going to a premiere at a normal movie time? I wanted to go at midnight.<br />

I got to the theatre around 6:30 after finishing a swell workout at the box. I made a new hanging power snatch PR! After stretching out to waste time before heading to the show, I embraced the cold and ran as fast as I could to the warmth of my car.<br />
<br />
The theatre wasn't really that bad. It was an awful lot worse for the Harry Potter films and even The Hunger Games a year and a half ago. I didn't have to wait in any lines even for snacks!<br />
<br />
My sister and thirty of her closest friends had saved a load of seats, so I walked in and sat right down. Other than the parent chaperones, I think I was the oldest one there. Everyone was in high school and I'm like, "Hey, I'm in college."<br />
<br />
Then I had a moment of weakness.<br />

<b>Possible spoilers follow, but I don't believe in spoilers because if it's a book, you should have read it before seeing the movie and therefore should already know everything</b><br /><br />When the pre-previews started, everyone gasped, even the adults. The First Looks were even that great. The actual previews were where it's at. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Divergent was the first one! That is my new favourite (idk why I put the 'u,' but I'm leaving it) series. I'm furious that Veronica Roth was in Dallas signing last month and I didn't know about it. The preview was fantastic. There really weren't many trailers, maybe just three?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The movie started and everyone was silent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh my gosh. The movie was fantastic. I didn't think a book-to-movie could beat The Hunger Games, but Catching Fire did just that. Everything was spot on. People jumped at the monkeys and I cried when Mags sacrificed herself. "Tick tock" gave me chills the whole scene. At the very end, I think the whole theatre heard my dad yell "He's in on it?!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the Mockingjay flashed at the end of the movie, cries of "I can't even!" and "My feels!" filled the auditorium.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, I give it an 11/10. </div>

Five times. I was supposed to go ten, but I didn't. Since I went five, I was supposed to also run four miles (or just two.) I did neither. I just went up and down five times and felt like I was going to pass out. My legs quivered the whole time.<br />
<br />
CrossFit was held at Lake Wichita today. It was hill climbs and runs. I took a lot of pictures that I shall now post.<br />

We stopped by Reggie's house again on the way back to our HQ to visit more people. We said hello to Jeff, Shannon, Cici, Peyton (the Great) and a few more people. Kacie took a piece of bread (without asking) and claimed some boy named "Pita" gave it to her. She isn't supposed to be talking to boys.</div>

On the way back, we were also chased by a trash bag. That was scary. We all screamed and ran.</div>

<br />
A lot of the houses were starting to run out or shut down, so we journeyed back through driveways and ditches to get back to the house. I convinced everyone to run up a huge hill. #crossfit<br />

When we returned to the house, we all sat in the living room and dumped our candy for the annual Candy Exchange. Since I can't have gluten, I was intently watching the middle pile for Tootsie Rolls and M&Ms. I had made a deal with Matthew to trade Twizzlers for Sweet Tarts, but I didn't get any! Everyone stayed after to watch scary movies, but I left to get sleep since I'm not a scary movie person.</div>

<br />
I've been reading online all about HillsongConf LA ending and being fabulous. I so wish I could have gone, but I was able go to a couple nighttime sessions of HillsongConf London while I was over there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the opening, but I didn't film it.<br />

<br />
Strangely enough, right before I read all of the LA posts, I looked through the notes on my phone. I keep sermon notes on there when I travel. I'll even write down the jokes that the speaker says or funny things that happen.<br />
<br />
Louie Giglio fell off the stage on his night. Whoops.<br />

What if I get out of the will of God?<br />
The will of God is easy. Just go where God says to go and come when Jesus says come.<br />

I was under the impression that I would get one lidless yellow dish, a blue lidded dish, and two red dishes with lids.<br />
<br />
It was supposed to arrive yesterday, but it didn't.<br />
<br />
I woke up today not even thinking about it. I went to the box and worked out and then headed to my church where the youth group was working outside for Teens Make a Difference Day. After that, I headed to the Boy's and Girl's Club to see IronE Singleton (aka T-Dog from The Walking Dead) speak.<br />
<br />
When I got back home, I subconsciously peeked out the front door to see if my package was on the porch. It wasn't. It was on my bed.<br />

I opened each item one by one and slowly noticed there was more than I had thought there would be. Instead of one lidless yellow dish, I got two AND one had a lid. I also got four red lidded dishes instead of just two.<br />
<br />
I rewrapped them and put them back in the box because I have no where to put them now. I don't really want to use them as refrigerator dishes because while I trust myself with them, I don't trust my family. Plus, if one breaks, I'd rather be the one that broke it.Jordan Campagnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06808380006378227930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953109919922050236.post-60068529414463934292013-10-25T17:39:00.003-05:002013-10-25T17:49:06.824-05:00I Wrote a BookI have a secret.

I'm going to tell you all right now.<br />
<br />
I wrote a novel last November. I got the t-shirt and everything.<br />

First off, no, you CANNOT read it. I really don't know if I'll ever let anyone read it. One of the top things I learned about myself when I wrote for my high school paper was that I do not like people reading what I write until it's 100% finished and publishable and I don't foresee that coming any time soon. I also don't like rejection and the best way to avoid it is to not show anyone. I did give my sister the option to read it, but she didn't want to (her loss.)<br />
<br />
I didn't write it because my mind was spilling over the edge with story ideas. I don't consider myself a writer. I did it because I'm self-competitive.<br />
<br />
"A challenge to write 50,000 words in one month? I can do that!"<br />
<br />
There are some parts that give me secondhand embarrassment for myself. Like, what in the world was I thinking when I wrote that? Really? She rolls down a huge hill? Stupid. There's a love triangle? Cliche.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it's almost November again. I don't know if I'll participate this year. I had originally wanted to write a sequel, but I have no ideas now. I kind of forgot what I had written about. I shelved the book last December.<br />
<br />
I DID have a dream (about a dream) the other night that potentially solved all of the plot problems I had. It was completely unexpected, since I literally hadn't thought about the book in over ten months. I don't think it was a coincidence that it arrived only a month after I rediscovered my love for reading. I'm in the process of fixing all of that now, so hopefully when I'm done I'll have an idea for a sequel.<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll be famous someday. If so, it definitely won't be for writing. Like I said, huge hill. Ew no.<br />
<br />
P.S. Like I said, you can't read it. Unless you beg. But I probably still won't let you.Jordan Campagnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06808380006378227930noreply@blogger.com3
