In any case, I'd like to update you with two pie charts that you can consume in whichever manner you'd like. I hereby present to you, Pie One and Pie Two: (click for larger)
Pie One is a sad, untasty pie. Pie One shows a rough, sad, and pathetic approximation of how many pages I have read thus far in the great year of 2010. Pie One's "read" slice is so thin, it would hardly satisfy the cravings of a real pie eater.Pie Two is a yummier-looking piece of "read," now isn't it? Too bad that's not where I am. Wait! I'm actually going to say that Pie Two's "read" piece is so big it could almost be considered greedy. Why, that's nearly one fourth of the whole pie! (Never mind the fact that we're nearly one fourth of the way complete with 2010. Eugh.)
In case you're wondering what sort of scrumptious fiction, non-fiction, and other filling has gone into that measly "read" slice in Pie One, here are a few of the books I'm working on reading (by which I mean, they've been bookmarked around page 27 and are on a random side table pretending to be freshly being read):
Wuthering Heights
Dear Old Love
The Year's Best Science Fiction: 25th Annual Collection
Isaac Asimov Presents The Great SF Stories 01: 1939
So there. You can now note that I'm not really being a proper lady who reads. I'm just a silly girl who talks more about reading than I actually read. Ah well. If you want to learn how to be a proper young lady, unrelated to books in particular, you can read all about it here. I highly recommend it, especially the bits about allowing yourself to shower as long as you want. I mean, need. Need.
In other news, inspired by all that was accomplished in 2009's NaNoWriMo, I've gone ahead and, in a moment of insanity, signed up for Script Frenzy for the month of April. I'll be attempting to write a 100 page screenplay in 30 days. I'm more optimistic about my chances of completion in this round than in the NaNoWriMo I actually did complete, but I think that's only because this 100 pages of script sound so much easier for some reason. Let's not think about the fact that I've never attempted script/screenplay writing ever before. Anyway...
Onward!

yay finally! also, screenplay is gads easier to bang out than novels are. 100 pages is nothing, screenplay formatting is expansive and the dialogue-based text nature of the writing will have you up to 100 pages and like maybe one half through a full story.
