About a month ago, I was up really early, and the sun was just coming over the mountains, so I decided to take some pictures of the sunrise. Now, if you’ve never tried to take photos outside at 7:00, then let me tell you, it is not easy.
It took me awhile to figure out what setting on my camera to use, but once I figured it out, the pictures started looking really nice.
Well, in my opinion, anyway . . .
Whatever. Just enjoy the photos of the sunrise. :)
Misty mountains ♥ (Obviously not the Misty Mountains, you know, from The Hobbit . . .)
Sunrises are so beautiful, but we’re rarely awake to see them. At least, I know that I’m rarely awake to see them. I don’t know about you, but waking up at dawn just to see the sunrise doesn’t exactly fit in my scheduled xD
Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?

P.S. Anyone see my NaNoWriMo 2015 Participant web badge? That’s right, I’m taking on the challenge. Who’s with me?
let's be lost 
The first picture of the misty field and the last one are my favorite. They are breath taking! I love sunrises, if I’m actually awake ;). I’ve seen NaNoWriMo roaming around, what exactly is it?

The photos are really pretty! I usually don’t see either, because I’m usually not awake to see sunrises, and even if I am, my bedroom window is not facing the right side(east). And sunsets are blocked by our pine trees. But sunsets are very pretty! :)

These pictures are so pretty! And I love the Hobbit mention, too ;) over here I have what I call “My Lonely Mountain” cause he looks like he’s making a mad face and I just say it’s because he’s lonely LOL! XD
And I’m totally gonna check out that nanowrimo thingy! I doubt I can write a novel in a month, but it seems cool all the same :)

I like sunsets. They have more vibrant colors in my opinion . I guess i haven’t seen a really good sunrise though.

Sunsets probably are more colorful, but I like that the sunrise symbolizes a new day :)

Yeah. Sunsets mean that you don’t have much longer to stay awake. Unless, the sun goes down at 5:00. ARRGGH! I don’t like when the sun goes down early.

I would love to do the nanowrimo thing. What is involved and how long does the novel have to be? Is it free?

NaNoWriMo is a free program. How long the novel is is up to you — you get to set your own word count goal. Mine is 15,000. Starting on November 1st, you write a book about whatever you want, and if you reach your word count goal by the end of November, then you can get a company to send you five (I think that’s the right number) paperback copies of your book for free. Plus you get to say that you’ve written a novel :) If you decide to join, you could friend me on the site — my username is SecretKeeper001.

Yay! What is your goal going to be? I’m doing 15,000, so I have to write 500 words a day.

I’m not sure what my goal is going to be just yet… I’m thinking maybe 10,000-15,000… I gotta really think about how much time I can put into it ;)
So, NaNoWriMo begins on November 1st – so is that when everyone starts working on their novel? And then when is the deadline exactly to submit? I saw a couple different things so I’m not sure if it’s the 24th or the 30th ;)

November 1st is when you start actually writing your novel — I started on mine already, but only what I right after Nov. 1st counts toward my word goal. I’m pretty sure that the deadline is Nov. 30th. The 24th, I think, is when you can start entering your novel into the word count validator, which tells you how many words are in your story total.
