Guess what time of year it almost is?
NaNoWriMo, that's what!
Okay, last year I demonstated the regrettable lack of persistance noted (with some asperity) by Sister Bernadette Marie at Nolan High School when I settled for just looking at the perch brain while it was still in the perch rather than going whole hog and removing it, but what with visiting Alex, Beth and Hannah in Tennessee, and then Thanksgiving, plus having absolutely no idea what I wanted Maude and Claude to actually do, it simply wasn't meant to be.
This year I still haven't a clue what I'm going to write about, but I've no trips scheduled next month, so consider myself in prime position to Go The Distance and get 50K words written, no matter how idiotic or witless or just plain boring they may be.
The one thing I do know about this year's novel is that Claude and Maude will be conspicuous by their absence. Like ARC yesterday, they had their chance and blew it. This year's offering will be quite different. Somehow. In an as-yet-to-be-determined sort of way.
I've joined the NaNoWriMo Flickr group, updated my NaNoWrimo profile, and came very close to ordering a NaNoWriMo T-shirt, though I balked at the payment screen.
Still, between those activities and posting the participant icon over on the left, I've taken my position at the starting gate.
50,000 words or bust!

Woohooo welcome back to the madness, its addictive. Will I see you at any fw get togethers this year???
I am trying not to think about what i;m writing about ahead of time so I dont overplan. It'll be hard now that my two October bdays have passed (my baby girl is one, can you believe it?!) but fall break holds me off another week at least, gotta have fun with my boys!!!
I saw you there in the forums, and you betcha, I'll be at the 4 Star Coffee Whatever on Monday the 6th, and hopefully some others.
With something cookin' in the crockpot, what with the 6 p.m. start time. Mercy Maud! How are we supposed to feed our families?
No, I cannot believe your little princess is almost a whole year old. Where does the time go?
Hey, just getting to the starting line is half the battle. After I get that far, I go take a nap.
Ooooh...naps!
What a good idea.
It's always time for a nap.
