SHAZAAM!

Ok, so I have fantastic news. Like über fantastic amazing epic news. But first. I spilled juice on my keyboard so some of my keys are sticking - but it's doing a lot better now - so yay laptop! Ok here's my news that my whole blogging audience will soon know.

That blogging audience being myself.

But hey, beggars can't be choosers - and frankly I've always been satisfied with my non-existatnt audience. I have no one to please or disappoint - except myself but really for me to do that I'll have to like blow up my laptop or something. I think this is the first string of blog posts that mean something - ish. Like that go together and have a common theme throughout.

NaNo madness. November is national novel writing month just in case anyone forgot - and it's where you write a 50k word novel in 30 days. So thats... 16,667 words a day (about).

Yeah - I'll give you some time to admire my non-calculator skills.

Ok, now that you're done. I'll give you the good news, since I know

that you're all on the edge of your seat wanting to hear my awesome news. But I have to run soon so I really can't keep building up like that. Ok. But seriously.

I have my plot - and I have my title.

SO EXCITED.

Plotting

So the past day or so I've been plotting in my cave. Crouching in a corner hunched over a single flickering flame, pouring endlessly over papers and notebooks plotting, plotting, plotting...

I need a plot for my NaNo novel. I seriously have come up with nothing, which is strange cause usually I can pull shit out of anything - a toaster if I have to. But damn. I'm in such a rut it's insane. So I plowed through adoption thread after adoption thread at the forums and found some abandoned plots that got my wheels turning. Buuuut I'm still at a loss cause now instead of zero plots I have three.

Back to the bat cave....

NaNo

When I hear the word NaNo, a bunch of things pop into my mind. The first being ipod nanos - have you seen the new ones? They're awesome! The second thing being those little pocket nano pet things I used to be obsessed with in third grade - now those were cool. Mine always lived pretty, but then the day would come when they would be hungry and I was in class and they were banned from my grade school, so my poor thing ended up starving to death on multiple occasions. Good thing they were tech and real.

The past two years, it has come to my attention that NaNo stands for something else as well, something that I'm surprised I've never known. Well, NaNOWriMo - National Novel Writing Month. It's November - did you know? So the whole thing about NaNo is you write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It's just pure non-stop, first thing that comes to your mind writing and it sure all hell sounds like fun.

So here's my author's page - come check me out or sign up yourself and we can become buddies (BIGGRIN)

Where am I?

Good question. I am definitely not sitting in an ominous leather wingback chair, pulled in front of a raging fire in a ginormous marble fireplace. No, that's not me. I'm sitting in the dark, not by choice, the sun is setting and the lights are controlled by being far superior to myself. If I turn to my left I see a room full of people. There are fluorescent lights in that room. I'm jealous of their ability to control their on lights.

I can hear a party going on by the bell tower, there were drums earlier. Now I just hear techno music blasting and a lot of cheering. I feel like its a parade and I'm missing out.

What should I be doing? You ask.
Well, cause I'm just so damn interesting I'll respond.

I should be reading my chem book, cause I have a midterm tomorrow, but I've always worked best when cramming is involved so I probably won't open the book till after my last class around 8.

What have I been doing instead?
I've been debating whether or not to join NANOWRIMO this year.
I think I will.
