Of Novels and Smartphones

Those of you who have been wondering where my posts have been lately (thanks mom)will take joy in knowing I'm still alive. I've just been a little on the preoccupied side since two huge developments came up in my life.

The first is my cell phone. My friends all used to be annoyed when my little disposable Playskool cell phone would drop calls or misplace texts. They would ask why I'm not on Instagram or Snapchat  more (and seriously, what is the point of Snapchat anyway?).  I have upgraded to an actual smartphone now. The cool thing is this smartphone actually works!!

I have discovered the joy of apps...like looking at the radar when a storm passes by,  or calculating (and not caring about) how many calories are in a Wendy's baconator (not a sponsor yet), and applying filters to my face so I look like a dog or a vomiting tomato on Snapchat (which apparently is  the point of Snapchat).

The next big development in my life had to do with a nice organization called NaNoWriMo. Yes, friends, I'm taking the challenge. In the month of November you will encounter a tired, enthused, and courageous Mark who will be writing a 50,000 word novel in exactly 30 days. Even if my novel writing skills amount to nada, I can say at least I tried.

So to celebrate all of the above I wrote this entire post with my new phone (which was a mistake). But now I have to save my strength so I can write 1667 words everyday of next month.

Someone please have food delivered to my room....
