But it's not No yet. It's still just O. They should call it NaOWriMo, for the nonce.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It doesn't stand for November. It stands for Novel.

Oh, that's right. It's so linked with November in my mind, I'd forgotten that.
sheesh, can't even be truthy around here

Yes, I thought the Mo was always No.
At any rate, I think that I'm going to fail to do it again this year!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It starts Nov 1, but you can sign up now (I'm looking at doing it with my class)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, new and exciting failure options! This year I have absolutely no chance of getting it done, because I'm going to be traveling three out of the four available weeks. So I should try it! No pressure, right? And who knows, maybe I'll get a ton of writing done sitting at my convention booth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's how I feel: I'm almost certain to fail, so: no pressure! Also, it's impossible to write anything good that fast, so: I can suck!
Except I can't convince myself that it's okay to (a) fail, (b) suck, and (c) do both at the same time.
Perfectionism is the reason I don't write, and the reason I should do NaNoWriMo, and the reason I probably won't.
I suck.

Seventeen worlds of this.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. I am not a perfectionist. I have bins and bins full of notebooks with really genuinely lousy writing in them. I enjoy it, though.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
So two authors were visiting my school this week: Justine Larbalestier and her husband Scott Westerfeld. They turned out to be amazingly funny and snarky, and after hanging out with them today at lunch, we discovered a mutual passion...for Buffy, of course. Justine in particular has written several essays about the show.
In any case, the reason I'm posting this here is that I talked up Allyson's book, and Justine is really interested in reading it when it comes out. So yay! Free publicity if they like it, Allyson...which of course they will.
Also, Scott's Midnighters series is evidently an homage to Buffy. Tres cool.
