Emotional Stress on Day 11 of NaNo 2009
My big brother's coming to visit on Friday and will be here for two weeks. Also, on that same day, I have ANOTHER doctor's appointment, complete with getting my blood drawn a second time. *faints*
On top of all that, some things happened, and my heart is feeling a wee bit tattered. D: Emotionally speaking, I'm a little down and out: NaNoWriMo speaking, I'm up and in the lead with 29, 640 words at the time of this post.
So yeah, despite my heart feeling worn out and tenderized from all the shit I go through with other people, I'm doing just fine.
I had shared my excerpt on the NaNoWriMo.org site, and this is what I got as the first review:
from caroldq --
Actually, I love it. It's so nicely random and crazy. I love the asides to the reader, something that I tend to do a lot as well. And you're halfway+ done. Really kewl. Very funny. Love the offbeat characters.
If you get a chance to read mine, what's posted is something like the first 4 or 5 chapters, I'd love to know what you think. IT doesn't have the violence but it's a little off center.

chuckling at the spandex guy with the thingy
Just so you know, the Thingy is actually a part of the story, and Walt likes running around in spandex for asthetic purposes.
Right.
Gonna go listen to happy music, cry my eyes out, and write more of my novel --
Soupy.
