NaNoWriMo and my scarcity

Posted on by

It looks like I may be scarce in posting around LJ-land while this NaNoWriMo thing is going on. I’m up to 3,020 words, and have even (FINALLY) got a writing space that I like in my office at home.

I am having a blast, and I think that’s going to last for this entire month.

If you are interested, you can check my progress here:

Also, we’re gearing up for WindyCon, getting teasers ready, ordering ribbons… it really is an exciting time, Neo.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Courage is not the abnormal,” wrote poet Jack Gilbert. “Not the marvelous act. Not Macbeth with fine speeches. It is the thing steady and clear. The marriage, not the month’s rapture. The beauty that is of many days. The normal excellence, of long accomplishment. Not the Prodigal Son, but Penelope.” Gilbert’s words are my gift to you, brave Taurus. Of all the signs, you best express the virtue of steady devotion to the demanding challenges of beauty and truth. In the coming week, I predict that you will dramatically prove how miraculous that quality can be.

October 31, 2006 – Captain’s Log

Today, and I celebrated a small, but fun anniversary. I surprised her with a trip out to Horrock’s to get some seeds to plan her garden for the spring. Unfortunately, the plant-for-Fall ones are gone, and the plant-for-Spring ones are not in yet. We decided on a replacement trip to Game Hits to pick up a used video game for her to play. She picked Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for our N64.

It’s the exact cart that I sold back to them when I sold my old N64. Still had mine and ‘s savegames on it. At least I can pick up where I left off. :)

We also had breakfast at Fleetwood, and enjoyed the hell out of some Hippie Hash. I know you’re jealous, .

We went home and spent some time with the puppy, which was good, and she fully hooked herself on Ocarina.

Work is over in an hour and a half, and I’m still a bit sick, so it’s not as fun as it could be.

We’re going to head to Beal Gardens after our shift, and, like I always do, I wonder if I’ll run into anyone I know there.

After midnight, it’s ON. That’s right. IT’S ON! National Novel Writing Month. I’m going to start The Glass Crown tonight, and use the fancy notebook that gave me. I’ve been saving it for a special occasion, and this certainly qualifies. :)

Like I told earlier, today is my day.

[Excerpt] Adam’s Name

Adam contemplates tripping over a girl who wasn’t there…

Of all of his foggy memories, running into and tripping over Susan was the most clear. It was like he’d been completely sober for just a couple of seconds, and then the drunk had come back. She had been thinking about her friend, and about some kind of life-changing decision. He remembered her dark brown eyes, as clearly as if he were looking at them. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that these details were all that he remembered. He had no idea what her hair was like, her skin, her clothes, or anything about this friend of hers.
