I usually end up writing anything for no money, too. I need to do something about that.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

move out and draw fire
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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.

I like it.
Eta: halfway through my daily allotment of NaNoWriMo words. This is gonna suck, I can tell. But in a good way. Um, not meaning porn. It's possible that this project is already robbing me of my ability to communicate.

Oh my god the utter crap I am writing. But I've written 2000 words! Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming... what do we do? We swim!

Thrive to spite them
I'm not going to do NaNo this year, but I was going to write about 300 words each day (right now I'm writing nothing) but I got distracted.
I'd like writing about the scavenger hunt pictures!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'd love the idea, myself, if the photos speak to people.

That does sound like fun, Deena. Having a picture to start from often offers more than a single prompt for me.
