no na no ~

[lookingland]

just me blithering here ~ i keep saying i am not NaNoing, and yet i filled out my profile over there and i am writing (a wee over 4k this morn), so i am not sure how long this denial will continue. i picked as the subject, what ought to be a novella called After Shiloh, which is one of those stories that's not really critical in the scheme of all things (or maybe it is, who knows anymore), but i thought it would be interesting to tell. i also think it will give me an opportunity to explores certain aspects of James's personality that i tend to forget about ~ particularly regarding his post-operative mood swings.

there's also a ton of detail work i have never really figgered out on this one, like what's James doing at Shiloh in the first place? dunno if i can answer that, but this exercise will give me a chance to explore.

Yes! Yesyesyes! Just a little! 50,001 words worth of little!

You must do it....

You cannot resist...

Nano is in your mind, compelling your actions! You shall do Nano! Shall! Shall, I say!

Ahem. Sugar high? What sugar high? :blinks innocently:

Actually, yes! :bounces: I have almost 4000 words now, which means I'm ahead of where I need to be (although waaayyyyy behind where i would normally be by now...but what can I say?! I have so much other stuff to do this year, it's not even funny. )

Yay for Nano! :bounces more: :is hyper:

4k is nothing to sneeze at for just getting out of the gate, even so!

hope the "high" lasts for you ~ don't wear yourself down!

and i know what you mean about having so much to do ~ november is always the worst month for me, busy-wise. but oh well ~ makes the challenge all the more daring, right?
