Pre-made isn’t always a bad thing

After a lot of thinking I decided to upload a pre-made theme. It’s just a temporary solution while I finish designing the new theme for this website. Room 34 have done a great job designing this simplistic WordPress theme. Thanks to them for creating something like this for free.

Last week I decided that it was time for me to create a new website. It will be a weblog where I share my opinions on products, films and books with you. I am currently designing a theme for it,while I spend the rest of my time doing homework assignments for my writing course. This writing course should be finished in September, so I’ve still got a few months left.

If you have any suggestions for this website, or the new one, feel free to leave a comment.

Day 6 of NaNoWriMo: I have a tip for you

Happy 2010!

It’s a bit late, but I’d like to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2010! How did you celebrate New Year? I spent it at home with my parents and drank a nice glass of white wine.

I spent the past few weeks designing a website for an awesome new gaming company based in Australia. I’m happy to say the website is almost finished! I will put up a link to their website as soon as it’s finished.

I promised to put up a new design on this website a while ago, and as you can tell nandawrites.com is still using the old design. A few days before I had planned to put up the new design, I ran into some problems, and I’ve been too busy to fix them. I promise I will, as soon as possible!

Where’s that design?

After promising you guys a new layout on nandawrites.com, it’s still not up. I’m sorry about that. Sadly enough I had to drop out of NaNoWriMo. Why? I spent too much time writing in the first week of NaNo and I didn’t take enough breaks. My wrists really started to hurt and for a few days could barely type, so I’m trying not to use the computer too much. The new layout will be up as soon as possible.

Day 6 of NaNoWriMo: I have a tip for you

It is day six of NaNoWriMo. That means we’ve[1] been writing for almost a week. I am currently one day ahead and I’d like to keep it that way. That means: No procrastinating—well, not too much—and writing at least 2,000 words a day.

Last year NaNoWriMo was tough for me. I was actually on the verge of giving up when someone (sadly enough I forgot who that someone was; I blame my bad memory for that) told me that I needed to remember why I was writing in the first place. That really helped me win NaNoWriMo in 2008, so I would like to pass this tip on to you guys[2]: Do not focus on word count too much. Just do what you love to do: Write. Only check your word count during your breaks or when you feel like you’re done for the day. That way the words will flow more easily and your word count will go up in no time.

On a different note: Today and yesterday I have been working on a new design for the website, so expect that to be up ~~this~~ next weekend!
