  • NaNo has been an interesting experience so far.  We're into write in number 2 and I just keep getting wierd surprises beyond every turn.

    Kickoff was RSVPd for over 50 people, which would have filled the restaurant.  Only 40 came, but it's still a 50% increase over last year.

    Write in #1 at Midnight was a disaster almost.  Got to the first write in location and they claimed to not have any plugs.  Bullshit.  So we moved our group to somewhere else.  Which I called ahead of time, to see if they had room for a group of 16ish people.  By the time we drove the 10 minutes to get there and went in the restaurant, our 16ish people were now up to 30.  Which was more like 40 by the time the write in ended.

    Write in #2 was awesome.  We ended up back in the bar at the cafe, which was totally empty.  We had a great space to spread out in, and it workd out perfectly.

     

    Plus, over $50 in the donation bucket.  Woot.

    Oh, and I'm over 4k and there's another write in in 2 1/2 hrs.

    Just got Alix back from the vet.  Poor baby got his fuzzy little scrotum cut out.  :(

  • So much stuff to do.

    Here's my schedule for the next week and a half..

    07-Dr Apt
    08-

    10-Zoo Meeting for Ghouls
    11-
    12-

    This does NOT include editing four stories, writing and sending the first batch of rejection letters (I have two batches that will have to go out.. stuff I have outright rejected and stuff that will get rejected due to lack of space), getting the NaNo packets finished, finishing the NaNo schedule so I can get it to Tracy, etc.  Plus, mom wants to take a jewelry making class that would be this month, and we're supposed to go to Disney, but I don't think that's going to happen even though I planned it SIX MONTHS AGO for my birthday and I'm getting screwed out of it.  Plus, there's a couple other things I have to do that aren't in this huge ass list either.

     

    Just.  I'd maybe give an arm for a 30 hr day this week?

  • Please help me.  I'm trying to plan my NaNo novel, and I realized that my knowledge about one very important thing is seriously lacking. Please answer the following three questions for me as in depth as you can!

    1. What constitutes a date?
    2. What would be the perfect first date?
    3. How has this belief changed as you've grown up?

    Anything else you'd like to add, please do! I've got a lot of dates going on in my novel.
