    OYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....

    How many days left? 6? At least I've managed to get sick twice in the past month so I should be past all my sickness for the fall, leaving November WIDE open! Only problem is, since I've been so sick, I am behind on my school work! MUST get caught up this week so as to be ready to write for NaNo!!!

    Five! Five more days. This is the first day of NaNo week. I'm clearing my calendar for unbounded output...am doing NaSoAlMo as well. It looks like a friend of mine from a musician's forum will be taking the NaNo plunge for the first time as well, so I'll have a protege. Stoked! Jazzed! More than ready!
    First thing I do when I wake up is write, nowadays. Just greasing the skids. I'm seriously hoping to do more than crap all over the pages to make the wordcount. Don't want to set myself up for a fall, but that's the challenge for me. I don't have much doubt that I can make up 50,000 words in a month as my personal record is 37,000, in longhand, on notebook paper, in a day.

    I like it. Like a neon Max Schreck. Fabulous. I'd like it on a blacklight poster.
    Challenges...to make the story sing and dance, to help my protege craft his first novel, to write an entire cd while doing NaNoWriMo. To refrain from eating six pounds of gummie bears in the first week. To enjoy the process. To still maintain the semblance of a life while doing so.

    AHHHH! The pressure is really starting to get to me! ...... I'm having problems naming characters and places in my story. Everything sounds regergitated and/or stupid. But now the development takes a serious turn as we are so close to go-day. Anyone else going to a kick-off party for NaNo?

    I thought about it as my regional party is just down the street...but I think I shall have a private party instead, combine NaNo/NaSoAlMo kickoff, Halloween, and my birthday. Pitchers of mango margaritas, barbecue, and pumpkin cookies are in order.

    I can't. When I thought I'd be back in the states at the end of October, I'd intended to go to one of the regional ones, but it got pushed back till mid-November.

    Oh well, I'll throw my own party. And invite... uh... my fish. They're good writing company when they're not distracting me.

    Not only a show off, but an overachiever, as well!!!

    Keep it up and I'll throw my pencil (the one Tiamot chewed on) at you!!!
