I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles. ~ Audrey Hepburn

2.The Jawas’ sandcrawler is finally here. Your dad tells you to hurry up and go buy an R5 droid. Sprint to 300 words as you hurry to get there before the Jawas leave.
3.You still get there after everyone else, and the only R5 unit they have is a red one, R5-D4. You buy it, but it lasts less than a minute. Write for twenty minutes while the Jawa explains the defect. The Jawa gives you the address of the last person who bought an R2 unit, but it’s getting late, so you’ll go tomorrow.
4.The next morning, you set off to find the droid. You arrive at the house just in time to see your friend Luke setting off on his speeder. Word war for ten minutes with a friend as you try to catch up. If you lose, write 150 extra words as you find where Luke has gone.
5.He finally stops, and you get there in time to see him being ambushed by Tusken Raiders, who are then driven off by an old man. You rush into the man’s cave and see your friend Luke with R2-D2. Write to the nearest thousand as you try to persuade him to sell you the droid.
6.Ben, the old man, tells you and Luke that you are strong in the force and gives you each a lightsaber. Word war for five minutes as you practice with your new weapons. If you win, take 2 Midi-chlorians. If you lose, take 1.
7.Ben offers to take you to Alderaan after the droid shows him a message of help. He tells you and Luke that both of your fathers were killed by an evil man named Darth Vader. You agree immediately, but Luke wants to go back to his family. Sprint to 150 while you speed back to his place with him.
8.You get to Luke’s house, but it is in ruin! Write for five minutes to try and comfort him.
9.Ben takes you to Mos Eisley, where you find out that stormtroopers are looking for some droids. Then, you go to a bar to look for a ship. While you’re there, a strange monster thing approaches you. Apparently he doesn’t like you, and he begins to provoke a fight. Write 300 words in 10 minutes. If you succeed, you cut of his arm with your new lightsaber. If you fail, you miss. Ben cuts his arm off instead, and you have to write 200 more words while you explain the gash in the bar to the bartender.
10.Ben has found you a ship! A Wookie named Chewbacca is here, with his accomplice, Han Solo. Roll a six-sided die. Multiply your roll by 100 and write that many words as fast as you can. Record the time it took you for further reference.
11.As you take off in the Millenium Falcon, there are stormtroopers shooting at you! Sprint to 350 as you try to fly away before they get a lucky shot in at the tiny target.
12.Ben feels a tremor in the Force while trying to train you and Luke. Word war for fifteen minutes. If you win, Ben says you have taken your first step into a larger world—take one Midi-chlorian!
13.You exit from hyperspace at Alderaan—except Alderaan isn’t there! You are then sucked by a tractor beam into a large object, which may or may not be a moon.

Write for twenty minutes as you come up with a plan to rescue her.

15.Somehow, the Death Star finds out about you, and you take the plunge into a giant garbage compactor. Write 300 words as you combat the smell, the creatures, an the compacting walls. Just before you are crushed to death, the droids stop the compacter!
16.Now, you have to fight your way back to the Falcon! Write thirty words as you fight through halls of stormtroopers and cross chasms.
17.When you get back to the Falcon, you see Ben, sacrificing himself so you can get away. Write a short ten minute burst to try to get rid of some of your grief.
18.While fleeing from the Empire, you have to gun down a few of their ships. Flip a coin. If heads, attempt a Fifty-Headed Hydra as you try to gun down the Empire. If tails, write quickly for ten minutes as you try to escape the Empire’s shots.
19.When you get to the rebel base, Han gets ready to leave with his rewards. Write the number of words you wrote in #10, in less time. If you fail, Han deserts you. If you succeed, Han deserts you.
20.Leia tells you all that the only way to stop the Empire and their terrible Death Star is by shooting one small spot in a trench on the surface with proton torpedoes. Roll a (six-sided) die and multiply the number by 50. Write that many words as you brave yourself to sign up for the mission. When you do, you can choose to be Red or Gold.
21.You are now part of one of the squadrons attacking the Death Star, Red and Gold. If you are Red, you are competing for the glory with your best friend Luke. Do a ten minute word war. If you are Gold, sprint to 400; you get your own glory, but you have no backup.
22.As you fly through the trench, all of your comrades beside you are shot out of the air. Write 3% of your current word count, braving yourself for the danger ahead. The Millennium Falcon springs out of hyperspace just in time to save you and Luke from TIE fighters.
23.You hear Ben’s voice saying “Use the Force, (Your Name). And Luke, too.” You each shoot your torpedoes. Do a twenty minute word war. If you win, your torpedo is on target, and Luke just helped. You gain 3 Midi-chlorians. If you lose, it’s the other way around, and you gain 1 Midi-chlorians.
24.You blow up the Death Star! You get a medal ceremony in which you, Luke, and Han are recognized for your awesomeness. Write for the entire duration of the Throne Room and End Credits music (if you’d rather not listen to it, just write for 5:38).

Once upon a time word crawl
Here is a Once upon a time word crawl! 1 2 3 write!
It’s 8:15 as you roll into Storybrooke. This town is like Hotel California, the orange painted townline tells you that you can enter, but you can’t leave. You park in Main Street behind a very familiar looking yellow bug.
While thinking through options for accommodation, you do a 15 minute word war.
- If you write less than 400 words, then there’s no choice but to get comfortable in your car. That’s alright, some people only have a car.
- If you write between 400 and 600 words, then you get a room at Granny’s. Beware her wolf-like hearing when typing late at night.
- If you write more than 600 words, then congratulations you’re favorite character is at the window, offering you a bed in their spare room.
The next day, you start to investigate the town. There’s a new villain at work and you want to help the heroes defeat them. Unfortunately, heroics usually start with research so you head to the library to dig into the books. To get started, you take the Fifty Headed Hydrachallenge.
All that reading gave you a raging thirst, you decide to take a break and sprint to the nearest 1000.
It’s back to the library, to finish off the research - finish your current scene.
Finally success! The books reveal that the villain might be susceptible to a certain spell. However, it needs ingredients, so you head to Regina’s vault. On your way you do a quick 500 word sprint.
The vault is a complete mess. How does anybody find anything down here? You open a crate and shut it quickly seeing what looked like a two headed snake. This is going to take a while, so time for a 30 minute word war.
- If you are sleeping in your car, then you’ll find the ingredients if you write 800 words in the 30 minutes. If you don’t make it, then try again for 40 minutes. If you don’t make it again, then not to worry someone else finds the ingredients for you.
- If you are staying at Granny’s, then you’ll find the ingredients if you write 1000 words in the 30 minutes. If you don’t make it, then try again for 40 minutes. If you don’t make it again, then not to worry someone else finds the ingredients for you.
- If you are in the spare room, then you’ll find the ingredients if you write 1200 words in the 30 minutes. If you don’t make it, then try again for 40 minutes. If you don’t make it again, then not to worry someone else finds the ingredients for you.
The spell is all ready to go but the others aren’t here yet to cast it. Quick, roll a dice and write that many x100 words.
Finally the spell is cast and the villain is apprehended. So why aren’t things getting back to normal? This means only one thing - the bad guy wasn’t working alone. The spell on the townline is still as strong as ever. It’s going to take some serious thinking. Write 3% of your current wordcount while everyone is trying to puzzle it out.
You didn’t get much sleep last night, too busy thinking about who the second villain could be. However, you did have an idea, what if the second villain is in the book? You ask Henry if you can borrow his book to check. He says you can, if you do the 1k1hr challenge (1000 words in 1 hour).
There are so many stories in this book and they are all so interesting! You look over your shoulder, but nobody is watching you, so you find your favorite characters story to read first. It won’t take long to read it and then you’ll get back to villain research. Do the three digit challenge.
You read the story of the villain you just defeated but there is no mention of any shadowy partners so it must be a new teamup! That means you have to go back to the beginning of the book, and read every single story. You decide to do a word sprint to keep your mind sharp when reading.
- If you are sleeping in your car write 500 words.
- If you are staying at Granny’s write 1000 words.
- If you are in the spare room write 1500 words.
The book doesn’t reveal anything interesting, so there’s nothing for it. You have to head over to Gold’s pawnshop and ask Rumplestiltskin what he knows. However, it’s not just magic that comes with a price, information isn’t free either. For payment write until you’ve hit an amount equal to half your daily goal.
Rumplestiltskin didn’t know who you were looking for, but he gave you a tracking spell to find where they are hiding. You start to head there now, it’s almost most time for the big confrontation and you are a little nervous.
- If you are sleeping in your car, write to the nearest 500 word milestone (500, 1000 etc.)
- If you are staying at Granny’s, write to the nearest 1000 word milestone (1000, 2000 etc.)
- If you are in the spare room, write to the nearest 2000 word milestone (2000, 4000 etc.)
The second villain is defeated and true loves kiss is about to break the curse on the townline. You know you have to leave before the townline gets cursed again. However, even though this town is kinda crazy, it feels like home and you are going to miss everyone. To drag out your last day, write the amount of your daily goal.
The Leaving Storybrooke sign fades into the distance. You pull out a coin and flip it.
- Heads, you turn around and start the crawl again.
- Tails, you return to your life and leave Storybrooke behind.

Psych word crawl
Here is my favorite show Psych! if you haven't watched this you need to! :) 1 2 3 write!
Flashback to the eighties! Start warming up by writing 100 words while Henry teaches you an important lesson that will later come in handy. "Shawn," he says, "Sometimes enemies are where you least expect them."
Write to the song as we fast forward to present day!
The two of you are hanging out in the Psych offices, playing paper basketball while waiting for a case. Word war for 10 minutes while you try to score the most points.
Unfortunately, we'll never find out who wins, because a call comes in over the police scanner! There's been a murder! And, perhaps even worse, it's rush hour! Choose to either sprint for 15 minutes as you're stuck in traffic or flip a coin to speed on the way there.
Heads: You don't get caught! You only need to sprint for 5 minutes and arrive at the scene early, before it's covered in cops and forensics guys.
Tails: You get stuck with a ticket. Write 600 words to pay it off, and arrive last at the scene.
Juliet and Lassiter are on the case! For some reason, Lassie isn't all that pleased to see you. Wonder why for 50 words while Juliet, admitting they're stumped, talks him into giving you a few minutes on the case. Sprint for 10 minutes while you poke around the crime scene:
If you write less than 200 words, you don't get enough evidence and will have to break in later to reexamine the scene: do a Fifty-Headed Hydra to do it without getting caught! Then proceed to the next step.
If you write between 200 and 300 words, you have enough information, although you're not quite sure what to do with it: proceed to the next step.
If you write more than 300 words, you've almost got it! In the future, you can skip one task.
Write to the nearest 500 as you question a witness, a neighbor and friend of the victim. She reports that unfortunately, she didn't see anything, but she heard a knocking noise, a scream, a crunch, and what she describes as 'squishy' sounds. As you thank her for her... vivid descriptions, sprint until you've written three sound effects (fwoosh, ratta-tat, boom, etc.).
Do a Three-Digit Challenge as you mull over the information you have so far:
It's a classic locked-room mystery if ever there was one. Mrs. Jane Doe was killed by a blow to the back of the head by a blunt object, but the murder weapon is missing, eliminating the chance of it being an accident. All the doors and windows were locked from the inside, with no signs of forced entry on any of them. The angle is such that she couldn't have killed herself- besides, again, there's no weapon. Mrs. Doe's basement is flooded, a fact which Lassie complained about in endless detail, and her house is a mess. This case is downright impossible.
The next day, you return to the scene to look it over again. Somehow, it looks to be even messier... which is odd, as her neighbor explicitly described her as a neat freak. Remember your father's advice... and sprint to the nearest 1000 as you have your eureka moment!
All of a sudden, someone slams into your back and begins attacking you, which rather soils your moment of triumph. Word war for 20 minutes to fight him off and escape the house. By fight him off, of course, you mean that you knee him in the groin and book it for the door.Sprint for 5 minutes as you run to the police station to tell them what you've realized!
Write leisurely for 30 minutes as you lay out what happened, with a healthy side of dramatic over-exaggeration and the occasional psychic seizure, of course. Explain that the killer was in the house all along, hiding in the flooded basement after rightly assuming that the cops wouldn't search there. He'd locked the doors and windows himself to throw investigators off the scent and, after they'd left, treated the house like it was his own. Finish with a dramatic flourish by adding the story of how bravely you fought the killer off, and promise them that they'll find the murder weapon in the flooded basement and the killer's fingerprints on the trash scattered on the floor.
After the killer is apprehended and you and Gus have returned to the Psych offices, write to the end of the chapter as you finally finish your game of paper basketball.

The Bishop: Take a ten minute break for food, only to steal away 200 words in ten minutes. If failed, repeat until you reach 600
Valjeans Soliquoy: Have some reflection time. Write 150 at your own pace.
At the end of the day: Work work work, that’s all it ever is. At the end of a word you’re another day closer. Write your quota of 250 words in twenty minutes or less. If failed, keep going until you do, or when you double that.
Lovely Ladies: Quickly do a 10 minute word war to get away from the docks as quickly as you can. Rest for five minutes, but don’t get distracted. No one can be trusted.
I Dreamed a Dream: Roll a die, add ten, and set your heart on that. Write for that amount of time with as much emotional fervor as you can. Rest for two minutes as you bemoan your life
Who am I? No second guessing! This is your novel! Write for 20 minutes as determined as you can with NO BACKSPACING.
Fantines death: Rest for five minutes, write for five, rest for five. Mourn.
The Confrontation: Word war a friend or yourself for 25 intense minutes. You better beat them! If you do, congratulations, you can rest for five as you travel. If you don’t, write the amount of words you wrote again.
Castle on a Cloud: Straighten your writing space, before getting caught lollygagging and then write 150+ words for the ten minute walk into the woods. If you fail, keep going until you do, or reach 400.
Master of the House: Rest while you prepare for 3 minutes. But then, there are guests to be robbed! Write at a steady pace until you reach 150 words of stolen items
The Bargain: How much have you written so far? If it’s over 2000, you have paid for Cosette and you can rest now and buy her a doll for 5-10 minutes. If only over 1000 or under, you must write for ten minutes with no break
Suddenly: Write 150 words on the carriage ride
The Convent: You’re safe for now. Rest for 3 minutes, then write at your own pace until you reach 200
Stars: You are a motivated human. Roll a dice, multiply by 10, add 200 more, then write that amount with determination! There, out in the darkness, your word goal is waiting. (For example: Roll a 6? 6x10=60. 60+100=260)
Look Down/Paris: There’s a revolution brewing. Word war a friend or yourself for 20 minutes. You must reach a minimum or 350 words (all the citizen you have motivated with your words), and if you haven’t keep writing until you reach 600.
Abc cafĂ©: It’s time for motivation. You have a 25 minute break, in which you MUST motivate two of your fellow nano-ers, and receive some motivation yourself from the nano pep-talks or site.
Do you hear the people sing? Now it’s time to get back into that REVOLUTION SPIRIT. Do you hear the words being written?? Amp yourself up, put on a timer, and write for twenty minute as fast as you can.
In my life: Contemplate existence for two minutes, write for five
A heart full of love: Remind yourself of your goal. Remind yourself why you love this story. Remind yourself why this is important.
One day more: Pretend it’s the last day of Nano. Write like crazy for 15 minutes.
On my own: Close down any social media you might have open. Turn of your phone. Write steadily for 25-30 minutes, or until you have rounded your word goal to the next thousand. You must write a minimum of 300.
Little People: Little steps. Rest for 2 minute, write for 5, rest for 2, write for five. Rest for five minutes.
The First Attack: Sprint for ten minutes, spilling as many words as you can. If you reach 400 congratulations, no one died. Except Eponine. If you failed, keep going until you write 800.
A Little Fall of Rain: Rest. Your best friend is dying, you can break for a bit. But only five minutes, then there’s a revolution to be run! Funerals can wait.
Drink with me: Get yourself a beverage of your choice, then go send another encouraging note to a friend. Sprint for five minutes.
Bring him Home: Bring that word count home! Take the last digit of your current word count, multiply by 100 and write. (For example: last digit is 4? Write 400)
The Second Attack: Oh dear. Word sprint for 20 minutes.
The Final battle: This is it. Write until the last 3 digits of your word count double. (For example. Last three digits of word count are 346? Write until it’s 692)
Dog Eats Dog: Check out the last two digits of a buddies word count, and sprint for that amount of minutes.
Javerts Suicide: You must be exhausted. Don’t give up! Rest for ten minutes, but don’t jump of anything.
Turning: Reflect the many words you have written. Sprint for 5 minutes
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables: Write until you the last three digits of your word count are “000” Get it? Empty numbers? I’m clever.
Valjeans Confession: Brag to a friend at how well you’ve done, then sprint for 15 minutes.
Beggars at the Feast: Use some trickery. Cover your word count with a sticky note on your screen and write as fast as you can for twenty minutes. You may be surprised.
Epilogue: Take off the sticky note, celebrate. Break for half an hour. But it’s not over yet. Sprint till you round your count to the next thousand.
Do you hear the word count rise?

Great Grandma
So on Sunday we went to Pueblo and went to the farms (again) and after we went to go see my Great grandmas grave stone, I miss her so, so much and wish that she is still with us, but she have passed and is in a better place now.
I love her so much and will see her again some day.
