Had a dream last night with a plot bunny. A hit woman is close friends with a woman, and is hired to kill that woman's husband. She is too professional to consider not taking the job. As an act of kindness she does persuade to couple to take out a large life insurance policy. She murder the husband a few weeks after the policy goes into effect. And of course that act of kindness eventually leads to her being caught, because the wife eventually grows suspicious, wondering why her friend was so insistent on their taking out that policy.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I decided not to do NaNo after all--I've almost finished the first "act" of my WIP, and I'm in a place where I want to go back and do some rewrites rather than push forward.

The place my head is in, I could probably use NaNo to write this short story I promised. But deadlines and I are unmixy things, I get stubborn and think I'm proving something to the universe by saying, "I'm not going to get it done, and you can't make me!"
It is not helpful when you have authority issues with the inside of your own head.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hee hee! I love the email I got from NaNoWriMo, especially this part:
leave ugly prose and poorly written passages on the page to be cleaned up later. Your inner editor will be very grumpy about this, but your inner editor is a nitpicky jerk who foolishly believes that it is possible to write a brilliant first draft if you write it slowly enough.

I *have* written brilliant first drafts. But that is more like something working through me than my great efforts. You can't predict that.

I can imagine writing a brilliant first draft of a poem, maybe a short story, but cranking out a perfect 175 page novel in one go is incomprehensible to me.

No, probably not likely. I was just talking about reviews and such.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm toying with the idea of attempting NaNoWriMo. Or maybe it's toying with me. I have an idea for a story, anyway. Except now I'm invested in it, so I don't know if I can write it without caring if it's good or not.

Go for it! Join us! One of us! One of us!
You really do have to turn off the little squeaky mice and just concentrate on typing or you'll never win. Not that I have won. I think I got to 100 pages last time I tried. 100 very crappy pages iirc.
