NaNoWriDo or NaNoWriDon't?

Wed Oct 29, 2008, 5:49 PM
So, a few weeks ago, I got one of those form e-mails from Chris Baty (the NaNoWriMo dude) titled 'Don't Make Us Come After You'. In it, he urges folks to register on the site and go for that thirty days of literary madness known as National Novel Writing Month.

I'm... uncertain.

I first tried it in 2006, and surprisingly managed to pull over 50k words of backstory out of my City of Heroes main, Parzifal. Of course, it still sits, unfinished and unedited, on my HD (as well as other places), but hey, I did it, got my little certificate and such. It was a pretty good feeling.

Then I tried last year. Cripes, what a crash and burn. I won't go into the gory details, but there were several medical emergencies involving my husband that pretty much sucked away all the time, energy, and creativity I had. I was hoping to be able to to Tarosvan's backstory (that's Trey, he's my other CoH main), but all I got was maybe 10k of crap that I more or less shitcanned.

So, I'm looking at this year and thinking... should I try? It's been a long time since I've been able to produce much of anything, and the prospect of facing a month of writing 1667 words a night is filling me with something approaching dread.

And yet... gawds, I miss writing. I miss waking up in the middle of the night, hands shaking, -needing- to write. I haven't had that feeling in a very long time.

  • Listening to: Gathering of Nations internet radio
  • Playing: City of Heroes, once I get home.
  • Eating: Waiting for vegan eats. Oddly, I'm not a vegan.
  • Drinking: Wishing I had that blood orange soda.

  • Favourite band or musician: Again, too many to list. Been listening to a lot of Darren Geffre and Blackfire lately.
  • Favourite genre of music: Ibid.
  • Favourite artist: They're like Doritos. Can't pick just one, and they come in so many different flav... wait
  • Favourite poet or writer: Again, can't choose a single favorite. I'll throw names out. Jack London. Mercedes Lackey.
  • Favourite style of art: Oh, gosh. I just lurves me some pencils. And woodblocks.
  • Operating System: Moo. WinXP.
  • MP3 player of choice: I <3 my iPod Classic.
  • Shell of choice: Conchs are nice. I generally prefer univalve shells to bivalves. Or am I thinking the wrong kind?

  • Skin of choice: Mine, and I like it right where it is, too. :-P
  • Favourite game: City of Heroes. Finally, an easy one.
