Teaching myself piano: Day 13 (with video)

So here is a bit of today's piano practice. I decided to concentrate on Hana's eyes today so this video is a bit shorter than usual. I'll see if I'll get a longer one tomorrow.
I didn't go further in the piece, I mostly practiced what I already know. I can feel that I'm getting better so that's a lot of fun.


Check out the previous days of practice on my piano playlist.

NaNoWriMo 4th day log, Tip #2 and stats

It's day four of NaNoWriMo. I had a relatively late writing start today because I woke up with a headache. Then I managed to get going and reached 10791 words.
The story went from the Kitchen to the underground back to Brownie's room and "introduction" of four "new" characters. Maybe I should have started the story when she is already on her way because she seems to have a lot of trouble leaving the house. Hopefully I'll have her out by the end of the week-end.


So today we have a tour in the statistic section of the NaNoWriMo website and then I talk about today's tip.To get more tips for the smart way of doing NaNoWriMo see here, for the crazy way, see here. And for your daily NaNo tip, check my youtube channel Mes crazy expériences.

Don't forget to have fun and see you next time.

Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 94

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet?
Sign up to be part of our awesome Vampire Friday blog hop team! You know you want to!

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.
Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything. Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets. On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him.

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left of last week
 
She will be dead the day you will see her dead body, not before”, he said.
I didn’t know what he was trying to do but his tone of voice was more aggressive than usual. I wondered if that was one of the effects the stone had on people. Not only rejuvenating their body but also working on their mind.
Why are you saying that?” I asked getting angry despite myself.
Because you are changing your mind all the time, once you want to be dead, once you want revenge, you can’t progress toward the future if you don’t know what you want”, he yelled at me.
I stood up to face him. I couldn’t bear any longer having him telling me what to do or how to feel and I started to yell back at him too.
I know what I want. I want her and only her. She is all I always wanted. Now there is no way I’m ever going to see her again so don’t go telling me how I am supposed to react or what I’m supposed to do because without her nothing is important anymore and my life has no meaning.”
So go kill yourself that way she would have died for nothing because you are still unable to face your fears…” he started yelling again but I interrupted him.
There is no meaning in death, people die for nothing everyday and nobody remember them ever, after a while they are just gone”, I said walking away.
He shook his head disapprovingly as I looked at him one last time on my way out.
If every death needed to be so meaningful, why would you have tried so hard to escape yours”, I said.
Perenelle put her hand on my arm to try to keep me here.

NaNoWriMo 3rd day log, Tip #1 Win NaNoWriMo 100% guaranteed (with video)


I think I got a little bit crazy on this one. I'll try not to go crazy as much tomorrow but seriously though, if you want to win NaNoWriMo, you don't have to write the words on the deadline, you have to write them before the deadline. And to be dead serious if you don't have extra words in you pockets for the days when you can't physically write, and you've never been possessed by the crazy writing monster, then you're predominantly screwed. That being said there is always a way to turn everything I say around but I'm giving you the 100% guaranteed win version not the How to win NaNoWriMo: The unmotivated procrastinator version (tips and tricks) 


Anyway guys, have fun with your novel.
