A week in....
NaNo is very much like schoolwork. I know this because I can look around and see that the house is spotless, my toenails are painted, all my songs on i-Tunes have appropriate cover art and my phone's buzzing with unanswered messages because (put on sanctimonious voice) I'm working. Procrastination is a very handy thing for me, everything else in my life ends up running perfectly as I try to avoid one other thing.
Not that I'm failing or anything. I'm past 15,000 words and I'm hoping to crack 20,000 by the end of the weekend, but I don't feel I'm getting much joy out of it. I don't know my characters and, more than that, I don't really want to know them, they're boring and whiney. Still, I am getting to freak myself out occasionally by reading back over something and not remembering having written it, that's always fun.
Righto, back to it then. Solidarity and sisterhood to those also doing NaNo and huge thanks to everyone who's been in touch recently (seriously, the response to the last chapter of LC has gone gangbusters, very cool!).
Cheers, Jess/star123
