There ... all signed up for NaNoWriMo. Well, that's one less thing I've got to do. (Except, you know, for the actual writing. ;))

Getting strangled at the gas pump -- Giving up healthy food and doctors because of the stupid gas prices? *sigh* You know, the gas prices are most of the reason my mother keeps trying to get me to get a job at the factory I used to work at that I left mostly because the place was making me physically ill on a regular basis. But, hey, it's only ten miles away, right? *eye roll*

Teacher clings to mother in life and death -- EWWWWWW.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go mail my resume to everybody on the planet. *headdesk*

I signed up too! I've never done it, I haven't done any serious writing since high school, I don't know what I'm writing, I don't think I'm much good and I'm terrified - but damn it, I signed up and I'll do it!!

Oh, you'll love it. It's stressful and crazy and you spend the entire month tearing your hair out and it's just generally a good time. :)

This year, I'm going to try not to do what I did last year when I stayed home by myself on Thanksgiving and pounded out ten thousand words in a day. *sigh*

I still keep thinking to myself that I'm insane to do this, but that's ok. I warned my boyfriend that I'll be bitchy and to keep me well-supplied with booze and cupcakes.

50,000 words, right? Oh my God, I'm doomed. *lol*

Oh, yes, booze and cupcakes will help. I know I had my share of Smirnoff and chocolate last year. ;)

And yup, 50,000 words. It's not as bad as it seems, really. It averages out to a little less than two thousand words a day, and if you get bigger chunks done on the weekends -- which was my best trick last year -- it evens out nicely. It really helps that you can spend the rest of November figuring out the plot, making story notes and planning everything out.
