(no subject)
I can't believe I'm actually thinking about this, but I might attempt a novel for NaNoWriMo this year. I don't like to read, so it seems weird for me to do something involving novels. I think I'm going to attempt it just to say that I did. I guess part of this comes from my propensity to just go off on stream-of-consciousness rants. I do it in IRC all the time. I don't do 50,000 words worth of ranting, but I might see what I can come up with.
The other reason to do this is that I've been feeling pretty bored lately. The lovely wife and I have been playing EverQuest II again, and that's been a lot of fun, but I want to devote at least a couple of hours to it once I get started. It's not something that I tend to do for 15 minutes at a time. I do find myself just sitting at the computer wanting to burn 15-30 minutes, and I don't know what to do with that time. Well, for November, I may have found my answer.
The only obstacle is that I don't know if I can make myself start. I have a few projects that I intend to do, but I haven't even begun. I want to make a voiceover demo tape and send it to an agency. I want to make a cheesy music video of Smudgey, the family cat. I want to do some more photo editing. I want to make a mock podcast. I want to invite Catherine Zeta-Jones over for dinner. I want to watch the episodes of Scrubs on DVD that I haven't seen yet. There's a lot that I want to do, but I haven't done it yet. Why should this be any different? I don't know. I guess we'll see if I get home from work tomorrow and just start typing. Once I start, I'll probably go through with the whole attempt, even if I don't get to 50,000 words by November 30. I just need to get the ball rolling.
