The Spice is Life

So, today is November 15th which means it marks the midpoint of Nanowrimo. I have ~25,500 words, which is just about perfect. Some people have already finished, which boggles my mind, but I'm telling myself that slow and steady wins the race.
My heroine has to get rescued now. I have no idea how that's going to happen. I hope the second half of the month isn't too much harder than the first!

Oh! And I used the Write or Die website for the first time this week. The 'evil sound' was the song Mmm bop, by Hanson. I laughed, hard.
Then I told my 17 year old step sister about it and she says, "Who's Hanson?"
I'm only 23, I'm not supposed to feel old yet! LOL.

So it's day six of nanowrimo and I'm still on target with my word count. I made it to ~10,150 words. I feel good about it so far. Last night I came up with an idea to expand the plot, which is really good since I was worried about not having enough plot. I kinda like my bad guy, he's pretty twisted and evil, though I still need to figure out a redeeming quality for him. I'm hopeful that I will be able to finish!

So, I decided a couple weeks ago to do Nano. I've already completely discarded my original idea and started plotting a new one. Then yesterday I switched main characters, which doesn't change much, except that it changes EVERYTHING!
So yeah, freaking out a little since I'll be pantsing more than I'd like.

I'll try and post my progress every few days or so. Any advice from my flisters who have done this before?
It starts tomorrow. It starts at midnight!

Title: Let the Future Be Unspoken
Genre: AU, Gen, DARK fic
Pairings or Characters: Castiel, Dean, Sam
Type of beta you'd like: grammar/spelling/canon/continuity

Anyone out there willing to beta this for me? My posting day is March 5th, and I would want it back a couple of days before so that I'd have time to make changes. I'd be really grateful! Though fair warning, no redeeming end, this fic is dark all the way.

I did my first ever meme! I usually avoid them, but this one looked like fun. I took it from strickens_girl .

Okay, I haven't posted in a long time. I've been reading, and doing some lurking, and some commenting, but no posting because I haven't been writing. It's just been a crappy couple of months for me. I got pretty sick, the stay-in-bed-all-weekend-and-not-eat-anything kind of sick. My great-grandmother, who is 97, broke her leg and went to the hospital. She couldn't have surgery because she kept having mini heart-attacks. My Grandmother got an infection, and then had a bad reaction to the antibiotics she was given. My Grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My mom's friend had a double mastectomy, and her cancer didn't go away. My surrogate sister is possibly finding out that her fiance has a gambling problem, and my brother stopped caring about school and is failing some of his classes.

Bad semester so far.

So when I did my homework assignment for my English class this week, and the words flowed really smoothly, I was pretty excited. I thought I did a good job, and it's certainly the best bit of writing I've done in the last few months. I haven't been inspired, but this morning I was. So I'm posting what I wrote for my homework assignment, cause I'm kinda proud of it. We had to write about the movie The Breakfast Club, it was an open-ended assignment, so we could write about whatever we wanted. It's under the cut for those who may be interested in my view of this classic Brat Pack movie.
