Slightly behind schedule, but eh. Can't close the gap tonight (bookstore 'till 11:30 PM, sigh), but maybe I'll make more progress tomorrow. We'll see.

Why did I ever sign on to do this?!?!?!?

And now, what you've all been waiting for -- that excerpt from my NaNoWriMo project! I came really close to just calling it quits on this this weekend. I mean, it sounds kinda silly -- why bother writing something one knows is crap, just so one can say, "HeY, I wRoTe A fItTy-gEe WoRd NoVeL iN oNe MoNtH, yO!!!!" STUPID! Especially when I could be sitting down, actually taking my time, and trying to write something good. I've also noticed that it's much more difficult for me to write here (that is, in my room), as opposed to at work. This is like my master workshop, so it's really difficult for me (I guess) to write crap while at my esteemed machine.

Hey all -- haven't really gotten any work done on the novel yet today, but I did come home and sleep for a few hours, so hopefully I'll have the energy to buckle down and make some gains on it right now. Shooting for 8K+ before I sleep, but I'll be thrilled if I break 9K. We'll see. I did update the word count and post an excerpt in my user profile, though, so feel free to have a look at that. I'll post a much longer excerpt RIGHT HERE IN THE BLOG this weekend! Or maybe I'll post it on Scary-Crayon. I dunno. In any case, I will be posting that somewhere. Soon. So stay tuned!

And do feel free to comment on my "political" ramblings below -- I'd like to know that at least something in there made sense. 🙂
