You know something is wrong with your life when you get annoyed when people don't understand that you really, really, really need those cardboard boxes on your bed strewn with sharpies for your novel.
And by that I mean I'm doing NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. Basically, people who enjoy writing try to write 1,667 words a day for 30 days. 50,000 words starting at 12:00 am on All Saints Day until November 30th.
This is my first year actually really attempting to do it.
So, a list of things that will happen.
1. I will be cleaner/my dishes will be done more.
Reason: If I shower for a long long time, or take a bath at night, then I think more.
No matter how long or when I do the dishes, I can write more.
2. Musical basis will expand.
Reason: When I'm formulating ideas, I play music. Hard rock. Andean beats. Jazz. Blues. Folk. Country. Christian. Rap. Anything.
3. My friends will hate me.
Reason: I will annoy them into telling me any and all music they enjoy because I always need new music while I'm writing. I will neglect them because as often as possible I will be at the library or Caribou Coffee. [It's my favorite coffee shop to write at. Just is.]
4. My dog will hate me.
Reason: I will not let her sleep in my room because I will have cardboard, markers, and papers strewn across my room until November 30th.
5. My dog will love me.
Reason: I'll be taking her out for long long walks, much ball and critter playing, and generally be more loving. Except at night.
6. YouTube.
Reason: Late at night, when I have that horrid thing that won't be mentioned but I will deem The Clot.
So, I will watch old YouTube videos. Over. And over. And over. And over...
7. Buffy.
Reason: The writing on this show was so spectacular, I will watch all the old episodes again. And take note and marvel in the spectacular beauty that is Joss Whedon, Marti Noxon and Jane Espenson.
And that is NaNo. I will now leave you with this to explain: NANOWRIMO!
