Today was a slightly less productive day. We did make plans for going over Misentity submissions, and I googledocked my poem, and I am thinking about adding slamming to my checkpoint for January. I am concerned, howver, that I will have to do college apps that night. Plus, if I slam, someone else would have to pick out judges, or we risk them all being tilted in my favor.Anyway, I started a plan for the rest of the year, too. That's really the bulk of my checkpoint. I've had enough of a break now that I can think about my novel enough to make a plan.
So. Updates to be continued in 2008! Yeah!
I might update the Misentity blog before that, though.

The usual. Only now, all the lit submissions have been logged, keyed in, and saved on my h and flash drives, with the exception of ones emailed after school, 3 that presented technical difficulties, and anticipated submissions from CWIII kids.
^_*accomplishment*_^
So basically what I did was go through all the emails to misentity and save things and log things, and now that's all done. We had a meeting about checkpoint-making and productivity near the end of class. I actually think I'm pretty well on track, though I do still have to write my Santa letter.
Also, I had the theme song from that one old sitcom stuck in my head, and inadvertently annoyed Jeff with it.
Also, I sent Jeff and email to say that I had looked over his poem, even though he was sitting net to me int eh lab. This was out of habit of responding to every email sent to the misentity account, which I asked him to send it to becasue that's what I was logged into, and gmail won't let you log into more than one account simultaneously.

Got all the submissions filed. Having trouble dling pics at school, because school comps don't ahve winzip. Still much typing to do, though kudos to Jeffo and Mily for helping out. I'm gonna miss most of class on Wednesday, and I'll probably catch up on typing over the weekend, actually. I should probably submit some additional things myself. We'll see.

Today was good in that we fleshed out Misentity stuff with CWII, and made plans. Hopefully, we will follow through on them. I guess I'll just stop pretending that I actually posted this on thursday so that I can also say this: I am not amused by the number of paper submissions we received. Typing them will take more time that I had anticipated (because there are more of them than I expected, considering the simple format for submitting via email), and may derail my plans for this month. I'll have to see how much help I can get on this front. (will be posting in the Misentity Blog on this subject to try and enlist help.)

Sorry if this is late! I forgot that school blocked blogger because it involves daily living, so I'm posting after school.
Checkpoint summation
I won and all. ::remembers to print out certificate:: I dropped my plan right off the bat, and from there, I used the schedule only to remind me of things that I could write, if I wanted to. I didn’t get through all of my planned storyline; I also added a lot that I hadn’t thought of until I started typing. So it goes.
In retrospect, I probably should have made a blog post for every day of November, not just A-days. But I did do some extraneous ones. So feel free to look back over the past month’s posts to see what I’ve been up to, and all. I'm fairly certain that I tagged them with certain topics that are large and recurring for ease of browsing.
I didn’t have myself scheduled for a revision plan until next checkpoint, which I should be able to handle. Phew. As much as I am confused by what I have done, I'm looking forward to turning it into something.
---------------------
Today I mostly took care of the Misentity submissions that we have already, putting all the information on an excel sheet. I didn’t get to working on artwork today, though. Anyway, I’ll probably be doing Misentity stuff for most of December, and maybe some reading also, if I’m going to have time. We’ll see.
p.s. I fixed up one of the vignettes that was a part of the story, and submitted it to Misentity. It was pretty much all I have to work with at this point, and I thought this one stood alone better than the other reasonably short ones. So.

I WON!!! (Friday, November 30, 2007)
Word count for today: 2,024
Total word count: 50,117
Topics covered:
Losing slinky the cat
Persephone and Rapithwin
Alethiometer
I basically holed up in Mrs. Chandler's room for the whole period and drove it all the way in. I validated seconds before the bell rang. Have yet to print out my winner's certificate and order my T-shirt, but at a base level, I made my checkpoint. More on this later.
