NaNoWriMo has begun.

Spent 7 hours at a Nano meeting with 8 other Wrimos (or Rhinos, as we now seem to call ourselves - don’t ask!) which was absolutely awesome, even if I after midnight didn’t get much done. I’m now at 717 words and before this day is over I’m supposed to have 1667 words. At this moment that doesn’t feel like a possibility, but I’m gonna try. If I could do it last year, I can do it again now, and also, this time I know that there are 8 other people around here suffering as much as I do. AWESOME!

The problem is Shane and Miranda. In Gemini (my L Word/Three Rivers crossover fic) they’re two twins who haven’t really talked to each other for 20 years and now I’m supposed to make them have some type of conversation, and it’s not only awkward for them, but for ME! I just wanna yell at them to grow up and get over it at this point, that that may be a sign that I actually need to get some sleep.

I’ve also noticed that tonight when I was writing, I had a tendency to write dialogue, write what they’re doing… But I couldn’t seem to put what they were thinking or feeling on the page. It bugs me, that’s usually the easiest part of writing for me, and now it’s just not there. I’m gonna have to do some serious editing on this.

I still have a couple of chapters left in the first Salander book so I’ll probably have to read tonight, because I know I won’t have much time to read this month. I’m procrastinating enough by posting in this damn thing.

Oh, and one last thing… If you can’t hear anything, it’s probably because your walls are full of lesbians.

Current Mood: Exhausted
