The Madness Begins (Again)
In a little under two hours, I'll begin Year Four of my participation in National Novel Writing Month. The plan, right now, is that I'll get a couple of hours of novel writing in before collapsing in bed for a few hours, then get back to work tomorrow. The other part of the plan for this weekend is to get out as far ahead as I can, since my social calendar is starting to fill out (why does everyone plan these great parties and show openings during NaNoWriMo???).
A couple of weeks ago I read through last year's novel, trying to figure out where I was going to go with this year's. As usual, I'd read a few pages and think, "It's not as bad as I thought it was!" and then I'd read further and think, "Oh my GAWD! It's even worse than I thought!" Good or bad, I did discover that I wrote myself a good jumping-off point for this year's novel, so I have some idea of what Jade Oolong's adventure is going to be.
So, I have 1:45 left to take care of a few other things before I get stuck in on my 50,000-word brick novel. And, just to make it more challenging, Simon has volunteered to drape himself over my right shoulder while I try to type. Oy vey.
