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.

Crank it out and edit and polish later, Zenkitty. I'm using it as a way to get the plot all worked out, almost a really really detailed outline.
That's exactly what my problem is - this would have to be a training exercise in It's Good Enough Dummy Stop Editing Now And Just Write. I can't stop editing long enough to write anything.
It was AmyLiz who had something to do with Big, Spankable Asses, right? Have y'all seen this? [link]
I remember AmyLiz not sure whether to laugh or cry (or just get drunk) when she was writing cover copy for it.
That was me, yup.
I'll write anything for money, baby.
I usually end up writing anything for no money, too. I need to do something about that.
There's a great line in William Gibson's new book, about how the protagonist's mother viewed her (the prot's) musical talent as something like an unfortunate but not debilitating condition, and the money that she made from her musical career as disability pay.
The protagonist says that echoes her own sentiments about the relationship of art and money, but unlike her mother knows that you can have the condition without getting the pay.
I've done 1300 words already but I can't see where to log my progress on the NaNoWriMo page. Maybe they don't know it's November 1st yet.
edit: nebbermind, found it.
I had an idea I was wondering if you guys might like. We like drabbles, but it seems the structure kind of lost its gloss. I was wondering if, perhaps, we could base upcoming drabbles on one of the pictures posted in the scavenger click LJ. (http://community.livejournal.com/scavenger_click/profile)
For instance, the people who choose to participate in the scavenger hunt post their pictures on Sunday, then one of us chooses one of the pictures posted and that's the inspiration for the week, and do it each Sunday until we get tired of it and want to do something different.
