Camp NaNo // WATCH MY AWKWARD FACE RAMBLING

Okay so that title sounds very weird on second thoughts, but I'm keeping it anyway. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU GET TO DO!!



Yup. Today I'm giving you a vlog of my awkwardness and answering a couple of random questions I've been asked about Camp NaNo. Because why not.

Aaand this one was just me by myself, so I may have gotten a bit more...random...at times, because I was just sitting around talking to myself at the time of filming. And now I'm showing you how weird I am in normal life.

Now, I filmed this before April even started, so there were a few awkward moments of me attempting to pretend that it was April already, and completely failing - or forgetting that I was meant to be pretending and blurting out something that made absolutely no sense.


And it was actually a really hot day and I was sweltering. Ugh. Soooo hot. Hence I might look it once or twice during the video.

BUT ANYWAYS. Here you go.

*cue me completely mindblanking how even to upload a video onto youtube*
*and then cue youtube having a spas and taking a gajillion hours actually loading the silly thing*

[also warning: I did the most awkward introduction ever so just brace yourself for that. xD]


"Oh...how do you stop these videos? Do you press the same button- oh yes. You do."


My super sister Alice was great and put this thing together for me again, and Clare entrusted me with her camera all alone in the room so big thanks to them both or you wouldn't have gotten so see this.

*snorts* The amount of times I accidentally repeated myself or lost track of my sentence halfway through talking, though. So many. But anyways.


And more recently than my filming - it's been confirmed that I'm going to be away for a week mid-April but you're still getting a chapter of Lando! I'll be scheduling it to post, so I don't have to worry about it while I'm gone.


Just so you know, I DO ACTUALLY OWN CLOTHES OTHER THAN T-SHIRTS. I just don't wear them as much. :P I almost wore the same shirt as my other vlog just for fun, but I picked up the one on top of it instead.

Also, fact of having glasses: reflections. I happened to be sitting opposite a window, so that there would be a decent amount of light so you could see me properly, but *huffs* that means reflections in my glasses half the time.

I was going to bring some Tiger Pear along to show you as some of the dangers of camping in Australia, but I completely forogt until I read out the question and at that point I figured it wouldn't be a good time to duck out the door and run down the back paddock and grab some. So just google it and be scared by the horrendous images of terror and spikiness. (And then come visit me and I'll take you camping. xP)


SO YEP, I WILL NOW STOP RAMBLING. There's your message from me. GO DO THE WRITING STUFF NOW.


And you should totally go check out Jonathan's blog
(because he's a genius -obviously- and you all should meet the guy behind the white board calendar idea thing.)
How is your Camp NaNo???
(Tell me allll)

(p.s. you will get a writing/word count update from me some time...I just couldn't be bothered to put it in today. xD So hang in for that. Just know that I'm quite happy with how I'm going. *nods*)

    1. Eep yes for vlog things!! :D
      YES I AM A REAL HUMAN BEAN NOT JUST A FIGMENT OF JONATHAN'S IMAGINATION. XD
      Why thanks. :P I have no idea what happened to that Irish accent after I started laughing, because I think it slipped into more of a Spanish accent. *shrugs* My voice has a mind of its own. xP

  2. xD I LOVED THIS VLOG. You're awesome on camera, okay? Seriously.

    My Camp NaNo...I'd say it's going really well, but that's only because I've had a "free" weekend. I'm hoping to stay on schedule for the rest of the month, buuuut since I'm trying to edit two novels on top of a vacation and Easter stuff, that might not work :P

    (and thanks for reminding me to give my cabin-mates some pizza xD)

    1. YAY. XD *flails* Glad to know you enjoyed it!!!

      UGH NO SAVVY. *gives you much pizza and confetti motivation* YOU CAN DO THIS.

      *squeals* Eeeek I'm so excited. It's going pretty well. My protagonist is being a little difficult and I haven't managed to get into his brain nicely yet, but I'm working on it, and meanwhile slapping out the words. :D Awh yas. *definitely has your name on the list of potential betas*

  6. I love your 'blurb'. ;D Weird things. *nods* Oh yes.
    I enjoy your vlogs so much! :D Though... I'm sorta freaking out because... are you scared of snakes and spiders? Like, I know the 'monsters' there in Australia are BAD... but do you see them as bad, or just kinda... 'normal'? :P
    Camp is great for me so far. I believe my novel will reach at least 70,000... and my original goal was 50k. :D Soo yeah. And I'm with ya- plotting as I go, sorta.
    God bless!
