So I failed to make real progress in the 1000 word challenge, and didn't even end up doing JulNo or AugNo due to Matters which required Attending To. HOWEVER! I am, as they say, 'raring to go' for this years NaNo. I have spent some time, including most of today, in preparation for the journey on which I will embark come November.
The 21st century is incredible. You can embark on a journey without moving from your chair save but to prepare warm beverages.
Now, on to business. If you have never read this journal before - which you likely haven't, as no one ever does - you probably assume that I will continue to possess the same skillful syntax and immaculate grammar that you bask in now. However, one who has not done NaNo cannot possibly understand the havoc it wreaks on a normally composed person's mental facilities. Grammar tends to be the last thing I think about.
For example, during the month of November, rather than 'mental facilities' I am likely to choose the words,
mined I mean mind (lol that word looks fnny xDDD ^___^) did I mention im aty 32566 words!!
When this inevitably occurs, as it will many times, fear not. I will emerge into December barely less composed, and by March I will be should be completely cured.
Yours,
Sorcha
