HW: RJ 10.2-10.4

I did the blog for ESA in homeroom a week ago so I know how this works. It's actually pretty fun. Camden read the blog then chose me, but I didn't complain. At least I don't have to write it on a block day. Ms. Nakada just read a pep talk by a NaNoWriMo by an author. The idea of writing a novel is exciting but once you get in to it, you don't realize how much work it is. The pep talk helped because it isn't about killing yourself trying to make the writing perfect. It's about enjoying what you write. Everyone is now rushing to the computers to work on their novel. I actually need to work on mine. I am a little bit ahead of the game on the word count, but I have to work everyday. I read some other people's novels and they were really interesting. On November 30 we're in for a treat. Eli just came up to me singing some weird song and breathing heavily. Then Juan quickly skimmed my blog as he walked by and said omg omg. People are really judgemental. Right now the air is filled with the sound of pencils on paper and fingers on keyboards. Most people are concentrating and writing diligently. Ms. Nakada just said that if it is quiet and everyone is working, at the end of class we can do a word war. I wonder what that is. It sounds exciting. While it's quiet now would be a good time for me to think about ideas for the upcoming chapter of my novel. I brought my flash drive but since I am doing the blog I will just take mental notes. I guess people really want to do the word war or are really in to their novel because a hush has fallen over the crowd. The class down the hall is fairly loud, but except for the occassional cough or sneeze we are quiet and working. It's great if it's quiet and you're working hard but if you're doing the blog, there is not much else you can say. For ESA and English I was one of the last ones to do the blog. You can't avoid it so why not embrace it? I guess we aren't going to do the word war because the bell is about to ring. My blog wasn't very long or very short. Just right. There were some moans when Ms. Nakada said to stop typing and save. I hoped you like my blog..... Bye! Eli was here.
