NaNo Addiction

So despite going on all year about how I definitely was not going to ML again this year and how I quite possibly wasn't going to do NaNo at all, I'm totally doing both (at least as long as no one tried to usurp my ML-ing power before I had a chance to respond; I wasn't able to do so by the you-are-guaranteed-your-spot response date).

I hope this isn't a huge mistake. I'm totally feeling better about NaNo in general this year than I was last year though, so I hope it'll be all right.

Have a big job interview later this month which, if successful, will mean that I'll need to be preparing for a huge move and huge changes, which might make November a bit crazier than usual, but I'll worry about that if it actually happens.

Am thinking about having another go at the first thing I attempted last November. After three days of writing it I decided it was unbelievably terrible and started over with something else (which was really unbelievably terrible). But I just came across the small bit I wrote of it, and it was totally interesting! What was I thinking?! I don't quite remember where I was going with it, so it'll need some thought, but the characters are pretty fantabulous which is the most important thing for me when I'm writing. The plot can generally figure itself out.

So, yeah. Apparently even more addicted to NaNo than I suspected. I tried to give it up, really! But the excitement of it being less than two months away was just too much for me.

Super excited that it starts on a Saturday this year. Yay for a big weekend chunk of writing to start off the festivities!
