NaNoWrimo and Death (TOLP)

Hi everyone! I am so sorry I haven't posted in so long. Life has been crazy what with NaNoWriMo (I currently have 30363 words out of my word goal of 32123) and homework and a ton of other stuff, but I will be posting regularly from now on!!!!
So, anyways, in my novel, a character dies. And it got me thinking... What do I want my last moment to be? Because we will all have one. At one point or another, you will take your last breath and be gone.
But if you got to choose, what would be your perfect last moment?
And I think that sometimes death is glorified, especially in TV or in video games, when really, it is just the moment that a living being stops breathing, whether they are killed, whether they kill themselves, whether they die of disease or old age.
The dictionary defines death as: noun

1. the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism.
   "I don't believe in life after death"
   

   synonyms:

   demise, dying, end, passing, loss of life;

   the state of being dead.
   "even in death, she was beautiful"
   the permanent ending of vital processes in a cell or tissue.

So that's it. That is death defined.

Are you scared of death? I am not sure if I am.

Most people are more scared to talk about death, than actually of death itself. When you break it down, its not that scary, but the glorification of it, makes it seem so.

That's all for today. I know it was not a very long or uplifting post, but.... It seemed right for today, a rainy day.

Hello, Hello, Hello

Hello everyone.
I hope so far, you have had a good week.
Today, I had the privilege to visit a farm, which grows all sorts of different rock and alpine plants.
The man who owns, and started it was incredibly nice, and even gave us two plants (Edelweiss, and Western wild ginger) for free!
However, what really stuck out to me was this:
I asked him what inspired him to start this farm and his eyes lit up as he described how much he and his wife enjoyed gardening. You could see he was doing what he loved.
And it started to get me thinking-- we all have something that we love like that. We like it to the point of obsession and there is nothing else we would rather do.
And we can have more than one thing like that.
But are you in touch with that?
I don't know if I am.
I think I want to be.

   Another thing I was thinking about is this:
   When you think you know something is right, is it because it is right, or is it because you believe it is right? And how do you tell the difference? Can you?
   I don't know. We like to think that we do the right thing when we can, but are we doing the right thing? And is there a difference between what we believe is the truth and the truth?

I most certainly don't know the answer.

Have a lovely night!

National Novel Writing Month

This is a Writing Post... From now on, in the post title I will have one of the following:
WP : This stands for Writing Post
FRP: Food Review Post
TOLP: Thoughts or loving post

Anyway, NANOWRIMO! Its National Novel Writing Month, and I, for one, am excited! So what is this NaNoWriMo? It is a month where you set a word goal and try a write a novel with that amount of words... In just a month. For the adults, the goal is 50,000. The youth can set their own.
     Last year, I got to nearly 25,000 words, so this year my goal is 30,000. That would be just 1,000 words a day!
     This is no easy feat! Its fun, but it is definitely hard. If you want to sign up, here is the adult link: https://nanowrimo.org/sign_up
And the youth link:
ywp.nanowrimo.org

Unfortunately, my novel is a surprise, but I will tell you what is about when the month is up.
Right now, I have 3,000 words. I am a bit ahead of the game, word goal wise.

Its a Sunday. I am tired.
More posts later!!!
Thanks for reading
