Instead of doing my Spanish homework, I signed up for NaNoWrimo because I am evidently BATSHIT INSANE. I spend November writing 50,000 words? Sure! Sounds great to me! Oh, by the way, did I mention that my essays are all in for November and that chances are I won't even be around a computer for a good week in November?

...

I am, evidently, batshit insane. Sorry all.

eta: I knew I had something to update about, spurred on my writing thing. I had the most fucked-up dream ever last night. For some reason, I was at Woodstock, (ums, the festival, not the shop in Quiggins, obviously) which is weird enough on its own merits. I was there with my housemates - as you do - and I was introduced to this long and lanky long with sort of shaggy hair and dark glasses. We talk, he flirts with me and invites me back to his tent. I quietly tell him that I'm taken and really not interested.

Housemates and I go and see a band or something and I bump into this guy again. "By the way," he says. "My name's Neil Gaiman."

"Really?" I say with a shrug. "I've only really read Good Omens."

And off I floated.

In my dream, a teenage Neil Gaiman propositioned me in Woodstock. As happens in my daily life, obviously. *shakes head at weird subconscious*

Yippee! I'm signed up too. We'll see if I can top the oh, 500 words or so that I got written during last year's NaNo. It'll be fun! And batshit insane!

I just want to write. I haven't written original stuff for a long time, so it should be a challenge. Hopefully a fun one...

I signed up because I tried to write something yesterday and it was utter crap. I've been editing so long I forgot how to write.

Woo! I just signed up. My first ever NaNo! Actually, my first ever original project - this is a very scary thing.

I, too, signed up for NaNoWriMo in a moment of madness last night. WHY. I can't write. I have a shitload of work to do. I can't write, and do not even actually enjoy writing. Procrastination has reached a whole new level.

well done.

But it's Neil Gaiman, dude! I mean... bzuh!

NaNoWriMo wis National Novel Writing Month. 30 days. 50,000 words. It's like a really long original fiction challenge.

It's going to kill me.
