Well it's a week away. Fingers are itching to print off my lastest POS or WIP whatever you want to call it. :D I can't wait to see how it turned out. My nice little inner editor has been busily hacking away at it, and I'm mostly trying to find out what happened. I'll reread for the good stuff, I'll reread for the bad stuff, I'll reread for the enjoyment of rediscovering my story.
I honestly can't wait. Fingers itching. Fingers itching.
I love working tech support. I"m collecting people. Not just the people that call in, but the people that work here. I might actually write a story where I include such people. It's only a matter of time, there.

Continuing with NaNoPubYe
So many times they talk about opening their novels and going over them in the NaNo forums. That's why I haven't been there recently. I still have that day knocked off on my calendar. January First. I'll break out the leftover Arbor Myst, and do what I've been trying to do for the entire night. Forget that I have a massive hangover and rereading my novel.
Pen in hand for obvious crap that I'll notice. Oh and a list of what my characters look like. Because they change several times in the time of the story.
I've been feeiling a little uninspired. My rats aren't helping as much as I though thtey would for the Pirats story. And I called in sick today because I did feel like crap when I woke up this morning. And oh, what a run-on. I think that's why I went back to try to work on WolfKin. Because I'm tired of writing on the computer.
I was happy to find my journal again. I thought I lost it and no, it was sitting on my desk burried. The Pirvate stickers on the front, still there, and the 3D picture of Snakes on a Plane on the back still intact. That sticky stuff on the back picture are still there. Yes yes.
I tried going back to working on FOBHS like I had a few months before but even my own psuedo-secret society isn't helping. I've been reading a lot more lately. And that's helped a bit. But the inspiration isn't there. I keep digging, 1 hr. at a time even so. But it's like slogging through water.
I'm thinking I'm going to start handwriting things. Because I do a lot of typing at work and computer work at work and I just need something that says "now is not the time to defrag, now is the time of writing. That's what my computer used to represent. Sitting down and falling into my own world of fantasy. I miss it. But work as it is, has changed that. And so going back to writing by hand will help.
I've thought about getting an honest to god typewriter. A really nice one, with buttons and knobs and doohickeys. Yes. a word processor. Or an Alphasmart. BUt at the same time, same principle. There's no novelty in it. (no pun intended).

Beta Testing
This is actually my blog for my writing experiences with Nanopubye. Their site keeps crashing so I've decided to make it onto my own. This is my extention of the NaNoPubYe blog. And probably i'll end up disbanding that blog to link to this one instead.
TGIO- the only thing I have there that deals with the NaNoPubYe, I'm definately not used to talking about my story, or getting people to know my story and what it's about. I can't even easily describe it. that's something that I must overcome within the first draft. Explaining what my story is and what it's about. Why did I spend 14 days on this novel and what I want to do about it.
definately.
More later when I'm not in training.
