One hour.

NaNoWriMo starts at midnight. That's 55 minutes from the moment that I write these words. I plan at least 1,667 words each day.

Not much else. Check in tomorrow. I promise a longer post. And a MMORPGamer.

Cheers!

One day more.

I don't have much to say today, as I've been slumped over the computer working on a presentation on Tibet and being distracted in general for a while.

Just a few exclamations:

-Just one more day until NaNo!

-Electricity is back!

-Working on a podcast!

Two days and no electricity.

As in the title, there are only two days left until NaNoWriMo. I haven't plotted anything or written an outline. I haven't named any characters or even settled on anything more than a premise. I'm doing this because I outlined a novel this summer that I'm still working on - but I can't find the passion in writing it because it's already done in my mind. I need to let this novel take me where it may without editing it. After the month is over I can take the stack of paper and decide what I'm going to do with it, but until then it will be a purely creative experience where I throw myself at my imagination and see where I ricochet.

Secondly, I have no power. I thought it was a blessing when I hadn't received bills for the past four months, but I was still being charged - of course. Still with no written notice from The Company, I woke up from my nap today with no electricity. Armed with a splitting headache and an scratchy throat, it was a fun time, indeed. Everything is settled now, and I should have power sometime before 5PM tomorrow. Oy.

My first big project that this blog will serve to reflect on is yet to begin, so I'm stuck with those reflections and quivering anticipation. I've got some homework to do, so I've got to go.

Intro.

National Novel Writing Month will be here in only four days. I've been intending to set up a blog to track my progress in life and writing for a while, and NaNoWriMo is the best springboard to jump off of. So here we are.

I intend to keep a log of all of my intended and actual progress in making my life and writing better. In all, I'm hoping this blog to become half-personal blog and half-writing blog. Since a lot of my life stems from my writing and my urges to write, this shouldn't be too difficult.

Well, I'm off to figure out how to customize this thing. I've only got four days until NaNo swallows my life.
