I wrote some 900 words before class today, then on and off during breaks and suchlike. A bit tricky, but I think this sort of pace works out quite well. We’ll see if I can keep it up.
Day 2: On track
1,667 words a day doesn’t seem so scary suddenly.

So I’m doing NaNoWriMo again! Which comes as no surprise, considering that I’m one of the MLs in Singapore, hah. Day 1: On track! I am also attempting to blog daily about my progress, in a sort of unofficial NaBloPoMo thing. But also because I want to keep track of things for myself.  Poster by Seriously Sarah It’s that time of the year again! That’s right, it’s the Nanowrimo kick-off party again! Date: 29 October 2011, Saturday RSVP here! We’ll have cake and nibbles as usual. If you’re younger, it’s totally okay to bring your parents if they’re worried we’re creeps. It’s also okay to bring your kids but you’ll have to care for them. Feel free to bring friends, even if they’re not doing Nanowrimo! :D Have you ever borrowed a hardcopy book from the library? If you have, then you know that the dust jacket is always wrapped and secured to the hardcover, uh, cover. This is so that the dust jacket doesn’t go missing so the book is always easily identifiable, and the dust jacket is protected. Which is pretty nifty! And I’ve always wanted to do that, but only recently I figured out how it works. You can actually buy the proper supplies from library or archival suppliers like Gaylord or Demco. I don’t have that many hardcover books so it wouldn’t be practical for me. Or you could go the DIY route and use common items to do it yourself! It will definitely cost you less than ordering supplies and unless you’re really keen on protecting your books in the super long-term, it probably won’t make too much of a difference. What you need:
 I already had all of them, but it should cost you less than $5

A little delayed, but here’s the recap of day 2! Also very picture-heavy, so you have been warned. I met up with Sarah, Joelyn and Avariel in the afternoon before heading to the hall, where we had a bit of time to wander before heading to the Walk of Fame for Andrew Bell. Avariel is a big Google Android figurine fan, and Andrew Bell is the artist who designed them, so of course she had to get his autograph. We waited at the side for her photo op.  Avariel in line with her special blank Android Bell was really awesome though, he drew on everything that you’d ask him to sign. While awesome, this naturally made the line quite long – we waited about an hour and a half for about 10-15 people? But it was totally worth the wait, cos he was so nice to be drawing in the first place. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out he’d drawn on my book, which I’d asked Avariel to help me get signed.  I think it's adorable, don't you? Kids under 12 enter free on Sunday, so there were a lot more kids around than on Saturday. We saw quite a few around the Walk of Fame area! Read more → |
