Kill Me Now...

[jackwabbit]

Ok, ok, ok!  I'm in already!  The itch to try NaNoWriMo was bad enough when lfvoy led the way, and when gemsong got in on the act, my temptation level skyrocketed and my competitive drive got kicked into second gear.  Still, I was unsure.  But when PJ Haarsma tells a kid to "KEEP ON WRITING: WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, AND REWRITE", well, I must obey the Peej, even if he wasn't talking to me.

Fifty thousand words in thirty days?

I'm in.  God help us all, but I'm in.

Gee, thanks, PJ.  Thanks a lot.

For the record, though-this video interview of you by your young friend rocks-way cool.  Check it out, people!

Okay: you're officially nutso. But we love you, not in spite of that, but because of that.

Aw, I feel so loved. Of course, this might be just the kick in the pants I need to write that monster Mac fic of mine, so you might get the benefit! (But I have other ideas, too...decisions, decisions...I'll probably go original story, but we'll see.)

Monster Mac? Ooo . . . but you need to write what's right for you, not what might align neatly with my own biases. Whatever you write, it's going to kick ass. And I'm going to be cheering you on. So there. {{{{{wabbit}}}}}

On the other hand, if you're ever going to read my longer pieces, you'd better do it before NaNoWriMo starts, because you're sure as hell not going to have any time to read while it's going on!

Yep, monster Mac. I've had the idea for probably over a year, but because I know it's going to be brutally long, and that's not my style, I've avoided starting it. So, somthing like this might make me do it. But you're right...I'll see what strikes my fancy. I had a brand new idea for original fiction last night in the shower. I'm excited by it, but I'm not sure it will be long enough.

There's my dilemma. I'm not going to write 50K words just to write 50K words. If the story ends at 30K, it ends at 30K, you know?

We'll see.

Thanks so much for the support-and I actually did start reading Up A Long Ladder a while ago...but so very much not done. Fell into a new Clive Cussler novel, see...

But NaNoWriMo is only for a month...course, then it will be December, and I might have to do another advent calendar fic a day for 24 days...it's always something!
