NaNo 2007: Pre-production October 31, 2007
Le sigh.
After I made my little pro/con list last week, I thought in my mind that I’d settled the matter - that I’d sit this year out and come back next year. It felt good to make that decision, and I went about my merry way.
Then I got an idea for a story.
No, no, no. I can’t do it. I absolutely have no time for this.
But it’s a good idea! And it will let you write both a story and free-form parts, for those times when the plot just isn’t there.
No! Three of the four weekends in November, I have either one or no free days. I have work/committee commitments almost every week.
You can write it using Google Docs, so you can steal a few moments here and there at work. Chipping away at the word count all day is better than trying to bang it out in the evenings.
I’m not even finished the work writing I mentioned! It needs to be done first!
You know you wanna…
Oh, fine. I’ll do it. Damn you, mind!
Brave you are. Hard times ahead for you will there be.
(Sorry, I have a Yoda mask sitting in front of me on the desk.)
Good luck. Godspeed. I will not join you.
Whee! I love your NaNoWriMo posts! And you think you got it bad - Randal’s doing it this year, and we just moved in to a brand-new place! (’Course, he’s not working yet, tho…)
