I think I'm generally going in blind, I have some plotting done but nothing specific, I've found when I lay down the specific movements of my story I begin to have difficulty writing it. So I have a basic principal, a list of names and four years of backlogged ideas that I've never used.

They look better than mine would....

We also have a new addition to the NaNo affair in our household. Our oldest daughter has joined NaNoWriMo's Young Writers Program! Her word count goal will be probably around 5k...being that she's only 10. Second generation NaNo's...weird.

Well! Now I'm going to have to make the pre-start party. No way I can miss out on her auspicious startup. Personally... I think she can make 10K.
Give her my best (and everyone else too).

I think she can, too, but we don't want to overwhelm her in her inaugural attempt. Her suggestion was a mere 500! She's probably going to be handwriting, too--her typing is only slightly slower than Cliff's.
If you're coming, it'll have to be beforehand 'cause I work evening shift on Hallowe'en. Aren't I the lucky one.
GPalmer, I've done it blind, and it does work for some. Let us know if you come up with anything before the 31st, though!

Val: Hallowe'en isn't a viable day. I'm thinking earlier than that. A week or more. I'll throw some details your way if I'm able.

You should be more specific about the type of whistle. There are sooooo many kinds of whistles!!
For example:
1. Avoiding suspicion.
2. Letting someone know they are attractive.
3. Whistling a song of some sort. (Occassionally, this applies to #1)
4. Just whistling.

I don't know why, but I'm getting this vibe that crazy dude is...excited or something.
In case anyone is interested, this year donations will fund children's libraries in Viet Nam. Last year's goal of $160,000 was met and libraries were built in Laos. This year's goal is $200,000! Creative insanity for a good cause--what could be better? |
