454: I'm spazzing all over the place again

Oct 19, 2008 13:09

No, I did not just think it would be a good idea to write something in the Nights Journey to Dreams universe. I don’t even have a plot, but Bellbridge was playing and I went “Ah, it would be cool to write Nights fic… NO. No it would not, stop that right now.”

Anyway, so, I think I’m genuinely nervous for nanowrimo this year. I don’t recall ever having butterflies in my stomach this bad before. I’m taking it as a sign that I will actually write something this year. Bizarre, I know.

The last two years, there was always something dooming me from the start. The first year I tried, I tried to write something with my own characters, but they weren’t interesting or deep enough so I never felt compelled to write for them. The second year, I moved to fanfic, but I didn’t even get as far because of obvious distractions that I am very mad about right now. But this year, I’ve cut both of those main problems out, and have been trying to add to my arsenal of motivation. This year, it’s just Roxas and I, and we will both be writing like crazy the whole month. This year I’m writing the same kind of fanfic that I write on a regular basis, so there’s no unknown genre that I’m trying to dive into. This year I’m going to tape signs on my walls so that whenever I look away from my screen in a distracted fashion, I’ll have reminders to keep me working. This year I’m going to try to cover my desk with post-it notes of ideas so I’m thinking of my novel no matter where I’m looking. I’ve got plans to for this year that don’t include write ins or meet ups, but have me excited and nervous and confident that I will get somewhere in this novel, even if it’s not to 50k.

…AND IT’S FREAKING ME OUT.

On a different note, it’s two weeks to Halloween, and I still don’t know what I’m doing for it.




They’re blue because everything at the Apiture Science center is so white, it seems to glow blue, but in general, the entire costume should be white.

There have been slight tweaks made to the design so far.
-The Turret gun rigging has been moved to the lower arm.
-GaDOS’ purple morality core is at the center back of the choker.
-A large, grey, Apiture Science logo will be on GlaDOS’ upper back
-All the cords may attach to her waist rather than her neck
-Added black anklets that match the wrist braces.
-Currently searching for a way to involve neurotoxin emitters into the GlaDOS design.

I dunno, I really want to make the GlaDOS costume, but I wanted to be Sakura for Halloween. So I am torn and don’t have enough time to go shopping for decent fabric.

And I am kicking myself every day after work, but I just get SO NERVOUS. *fail*
