Vegan Vic

I'm Victoria and I've recently gone vegan (8/20/16). I'm just losing weight, getting healthy, and putting my lupus in remission, dude. And that's how that story goes! HW: 116.8 kg (257lbs) CW: 88 kg (194 lbs) GW: 65.9 kg (145 lbs) (for now)

NaNo Prep: The Official NaNoWriMo Character Questionnaire

Want more preparation exercises? Check out National Novel Writing Month’s Young Writers Program’s Novelist Workbooks, which our nonprofit provides free-of-charge to more than 2,000 educators and 8,000 young writers around the world! 

"Most people think that an intriguing plot is what makes a story good, but the truth is that exciting plots are made up of original and well-developed characters. Not only are characters with hidden depths and secrets more fun to read about, they’re also more fun to write about.

It’s a great idea for you, the author, to try and get to know your characters before you begin writing. We asked a team of scientists, mathematicians, and creative writing gurus from around the world: “What’s the easiest way for writers to get to know their characters?” Hands down, the experts all agreed the single best way is to fill out our 46-Question Character Questionnaire”:

Gaining my life back. Do you care to donate to my cause?

Hi everyone! I have Lupus and the collage above just reflects a few of many hospitalizations that I have had because of it. In 2012, I went into respiratory failure due to pulmary embolisms in both lungs that caused my lungs to bleed. I was on the ventilator for a few months and when I got out of the hospital, I was unable to walk and bound to a wheelchair. At this point, I felt as if my disease was taking my life away from me and it angered me. Being 23 years old, I didn't want to have to depend on others to take care of me and I wanted a better quality of life. It's been about a year since I've been walking now, and I'm slowly trying to get my life back into a "normal" setting as best as I can while having Lupus. I refuse to let lung surgery, kidney failure/dialysis, and Lupus hinder my life. So now that I am gaining my independence back, I want to take a job training program so that I can get a job to support myself. I want to feel like an asset to my society, not a burden to my family. Unfortunately, because this job training program does not apply credits towards a degree, it does not qualify to be covered by financial aid. So I am coming to you as humble as I know and am asking if you could donate something towards the program tuition. I would greatly appreciate it! I would like my life back, and I feel like this will be the first step! Do whatever you need to do: share, reblog, tweet, Facebook, email, anything that will help me to reach my goal. Thank you in advance!

Please go to http://www.gofundme.com/8p30wg to donate if you'd like!

xoxo,

Victoria <3

Breathing was a little funny today, so I had to use oxygen for this workout. After being out for a week from horrific knee pain, I'm super happy to have completed my fastest mile today! Progress! Sweet victory!!

Transformation photos always lift my spirits, a reminder of the progress I’ve made. I remember my life in the before picture. I had just gotten out of a tumultuous relationship and I had become my heaviest. My before pose has no confidence at all. I wish I could go back and pick her up and tell her “Everything’s going to be okay. You’re going to finally get it.”

Four years later after losing my twin girls to TTTS and realizing the purpose of life I finally found myself. I’ve become the confident gorgeous woman I envied. I’ve also realized that I can recover from anything, which has made me unbreakable. I’m not afraid to fail anymore and I’m certainly not afraid of life.That was my problem I was afraid to live and I bottled my emotions and everything into my body. I can just see the unbelievable difference in my spirit from the before to the after picture.
