You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm NaNoWriMo-ing too -- I figured, I've had an idea floating that I've researched and sketched and outlined and never actually written any of, so this might be the only thing to actually get me moving.

(And, erika, as I understand it, the point isn't so much to have something coherent and finished, but to get those words down. Coherent comes later, with NaNoEdMo....)

If I only had a brain...

I am thoroughly stuck on the WIP. Maybe I should NaNoWriMo something else.

I've got no idea what I'm gonna say, especially for 50,000 words, but it never stopped anybody on talk radio, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm. But I'm busy in November.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Wow, okay, I'll do it too then.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

See how handily I started with the whining and excuse-making, before even deciding to take on such an endeavor? Now I can fail, and I already explained why! No pressure!

Liese, do it, do it! It can be crap. They tell you to read Bird by Bird and that's all about the shitty first drafts.

And we'll egg you on, cheer for you, and, um, t frantically casting around for better reasons, I want you to.

I'm so embarrassed. I already feel I have nothing to say, but I'm committing myself to a long nothing.

Erika, you've got it in you. You couldn't write those amazing fics if you didn't.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I'm going to have a go. No idea what I'll write, but there can't be any harm in trying.
