The printer ran out of paper today. I printed out two stories I’ve written in order to conduct an experiment. I asked Sarge to read both, and whichever one he wanted to read more of would become my NaNoWriMo novel this year.
He finished both, held one up and said: This one’s bleak as hell. While I think that ‘bleak’ has its place, I don’t want to sit with bleak for a month. Because I’m not feeling it. And so, I’m flying with the other one.
In the spirit of things, my weekend played out like a NaNo dare.
It included:
A broken filling (yes, one of the ones from the sadistic dentist)
An anniversary
A bonfire
A curry on the floor
You can use those, if you wish. All stories are different.

NaNoWriMo has begun! *sings* I’m at 6.6k and counting, having so much fun!
Good luck over there, m’dear =) (Sorry, that was weird. I don’t even know you. I’ll just shut up now, ‘kay?)
Not weird at all, luv. But 6K? Good for a first day! We may have to Word War!
I’ve never heard for this NaNoWriMo before today. Sounds like an interesting concept, but I certainly won’t have the time or mental capacity to participate this year. Perhaps sometime in the future. Or I’ll just hold my own NaNoWriMo when I want to. Cuz I’m a rebel like that, you know…
You have moving stuff to do. 🙂 Pick a month, any month. Also, thinking good thoughts for you!
I will NaNo with you next year baby 🙂 You me and Lauren can be NaNo buddies!
You know, that would be rather wonderful!
Good luck and enjoy! 😉
