To do today:

-- Make sure I get my NaNoWriMo account squared away.
-- Pay my phone bill.
-- Buy this.
-- And this.
-- And possibly this.

Yay, shopping!

EDIT: Court Asserts Man's Right to Procreate -- I'll be over in the corner being disgusted with people, if anyone's looking for me.

SLACKER CO-WORKER OF EDIT: I think I may call in sick the last day of November so that I can cheat and have a little extra writing time. Considering I never call in sick, I could so totally get away with it, too. *cackles maniacally*

*stops screaming and waving my arms and rests for a few minutes before realizing I still have no idea what I am going to write...*

Well, you've got a whole month to prepare. Look on the bright side -- at least you don't have to finish a novel this month so that you can work on the NaNoWriMo novel next month, like I do. ;)

Very true. However I have every faith that you will suceed and will have written an excellent story when you ar done!

**cautiously raises her hand**

I told myself I can't ML unless I finish last year's NaNo novel so I can start revising it. And I seem destined to ML. So... you have company.

Hey, hey, relax. This is NaNoWriMo. Remember the motto? "No Plot, No Problem!" Many of the most consistently successful NaNoers I know start out with no idea of what they're doing. Granted, a novel where the main character dies in chapter four, monkeys attempt to take over the earth for no apparent reason in chapter 8, and the entire last chapter is nothing more than a stream-of-consciousness POV from a minor character to nip things over the 50K mark at the last section.... Well, such a novel isn't exactly good, but we're all about quantity, not quality, and you get the same initial win thrill from a 50K thing of crud as you do from a 50K thing you can work on to publish.

(Long-term, of course, the latter tends to make you happier. Last year one (in)famous NaNoite wrote her entire 50K in two days. We were thereafter forbidden to ever speak to her again about it, it was such utter crap. But she did do it, astoundingly enough, which completely surpassed my string of 5-8K days.)

And if it is a problem you'll always find sympathy and commiseration in the "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" forums, home of desperate NaNoers everywhere.
