Well, I got back from visiting my sisterling. Her birthday was over the weekend, so she had a 'thanksgiving' party and we all ate turkey and cornbread pudding and tatters and peas. Yum. Yum. Yum.

So. As you may already know, I am doing this thing called nanowrimo. You can check it out at www.nanowrimo.org. I hit 9,000 words and, being rather proud of myself for doing all that in 3 days, I was getting lazy. So I went on the forums to search out some steam. That came in the form of "word wars". Word wars are these pretty cool things where you and one of your writing buddies IM each other up and say, "Hey, let's write for 10 minute" (or longer) "and race see to how much we write!" I thought, "Cool. I'll probably get pwned hardcore, but at least I'll have a reason to actually sit and write for 10 minutes" you know, like a freewrite kind of thing.

Well, turns out I'm better than I thought! I am WIN! Of course, then again I have this lovely blog to thank for that. Writing begets more writing, as they say, and writing more or less regularily here really builds up what you can think of in a 10 minute word war. Also! Now I'm sporting 13800 words!

It's not too late to start Nanoing! The goal is 50,000 words in a month which is about 1,667 words a day for 30 days. Just go to the site, sign up and start writing! Just think, at the end you can say that you, too, have written a novel.

if u ever need some stress release... try reading one of my posts about my rpg story created on the spot within one hour.
