wordwhackerAhoy! It's been a while. School came upon me, not unlike a storm of, um, books, but I have returned at long last.
NaNoWriMo is underway, and can you guess what I'm writing?
If you said, the sequel to that thing you wrote last year about 12-year-olds and aliens, you'd be correct! Well, sort of. It's a sequel in the sense that it takes place in the same town (to start with, anyway), but it involves different characters and an entirely different plot (12-year-olds and wizards.)
I might start posting here, though I'll probably disable comments because this is gonna be some baaaad stuff. Seriously. I don't want critiques, but that means I have to be willing to go without mindless praise, too. It's an ethical code of conduct that I came up with, oh, about ten seconds ago. Anyway, in case inquiring minds actually want to see it (and as an alternate means of backing it up), I'll probably stick some of it up here.
And because all the cool kids are using them, here's my wordcount expressed via a little slider thingie:
I'm actually a little ahead of the game. Creepy! Let's hope I can keep this trend up as the month goes on. I'd originally thought I'd try to sprint and finish really early - I'm starting to think that just disciplining myself in order to reach a reasonable daily wordcount goal might be the better course of action. Besides, it can't hurt to insinuate that attitude into my system, both for NaNo and school projects in general.
But anyway. No more posting for now - I'll muse a bit more later. Time to get back to writing. And procrastinating - well, well earned procrastination.
