For those who might be wondering, I decided not to do NaNoWriMo this year because I had no inspiration and just have too much stuff going on. But that doesn't mean I'm bumming around for the whole month of November; I decided that I'd only let myself quit NaNo if I did other useful things to make up for it. So! Instead of writing a 50k word novella this month, I am:
- taking up running, 2.2 miles a day, 4 days a week, working on a hodgepodge of training programs online- this is the big one, since I am notoriously bad at keeping to any kind of exercise program.
- taking up taxidermy- I've done one mouse this month and I intend to do at least 3 more and I WILL learn to deglove the god damn tails IF IT KILLS ME
- sewing something- anything- by the end of the month
- learning moar photoshop shit; done lots of manga colouring/iconing lately, already made progress with screened layers and lighting effects and using the smudge brush properly, and I'm also doing some test pages to possibly be a scan cleaner for a group putting out Pandora Hearts scanlations that don't suck
- do 3 clay sculpty things. Seems like a good idea. Still working on that chocolate/soap/candle stuff, though I'm running out of mold putty.
- Make those chocolate covered coffee beans I've been meaning to make since my last bag melted and I couldn't find them for sale around here.
...Oh yeah and I'm still RPing but I don't really set goals for that. Yukimi, stop sucking, Break, try not to run into any walls. There.
