It's the most wonderful time of the year...

[wednes]

As it happens, I have a stellar idea for this years NaNoWriMo, so I'm going to do it. I didn't think I'd bother trying this year since I finally have a job, but then I perused my idea file and saw something great. Then I decided to bring back a character I wrote a few NaNo's ago, Raymond. Raymond is a 32 year old pothead who lives with his mother and encounters a monster in a local park. He's juxtaposed by a 30-something chubby chick with severe emotional problems. I love writing people with severe emotional problems. And now I can even write people who are sane, since my meds give me insight on that very thing. So get ready to see a bunch of those little widgets that tell you how I'm doing, fot I am indeed NaNo ing this year.

Sadly, my NaNo interview is no longer availible on the site. But I saved a copy, so let me know if you missed it and want to hear it. It was posted over the summer, when basically no one is thinking about NaNo.

I was toying with the idea of going on a short vacation this weekend. But is it the birthday of two of my favorite guys who aren't H, uterdic and lickingtoad. I think they are both turning 12. ;-] I also have a novel to write, and absolutely MUST get back on Sunday in time for Halloween Simpsons. I don't know if I want to risk it.

Tomorrow I'm going to the sec of state to change my name on my drivers license. Yes, I have a drivers license even though I don't drive. People find that shocking sometimes, I dunno why.

Okay, I'm going to eat some Jimmy Johns, and then get to writing.

I will TRY NaNo as well. Is the word counter still available?

We are not going up this weekend. We're basically broke. We are going next week with N's folks to work. Pam wants me to help paint bedrooms. If she pays me, I don't care.

The link to the word meter is here but I don't think it's working:

I'm not working all weekend. Let me know if you want to get together (if you're not too busy writing).

Yeah, JJ's is the bomb.
Duff is my hero, and Geoff is so cute.
