Wishing I had something interesting to say...
As it happens, the biggest new news of my day is that LJ changed the profile page to something hideous. I wish paid members had choices about this kind of thing. For serious.
The word count widget I use is overloaded and the page won't load. Sad times, so you get this one:
It's back:
Still working my ass off on the NaNoWriMo. I've made it somewhat "easy" on myself by telling a story from one perspective, then retelling the events from another. The perspectives (an erotomaniac and her unknowing victim) are sufficiently different so as to allow for good reading. I'm enjoying writing it, which leads me to think someone will enjoy reading it.
I'm also using Chris Baty's book: No Plot? No Problem! which is all about how to write a novel in 30 days, as you might expect. Chris Baty, if you don't know, is the founder of NaNoWriMo.
I'm curious to know what you all think of New Hampshire's plan to graduate kids after 10th grade if they can pass a test. I can remember reading a book a while ago (I can't remember the title) that asserted the reason we keep kids in school until 18 and after is so they aren't flooding the job market. To me, it sounds like a misguided way to shave some money off the school's budget. I don't really see the benefits other than that.
It's open enrollment at H's work. That happy time of year when we decide to gamble on the hope that neither of us gets seriously ill or needs a hospital for anything. Good insurance is so expensive, but not having it is such a useless gamble. I'm giving up optical this year, but keeping the dental and medical with prescription. Even with the insurance, my scrips are almost $100 a month. Fie and Fie again!!
Okay, I'm off to work. Maybe a Friday Five later if I'm bored!!
