Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Can you make a profile without signing up for those "encouraging" e-mails because those make me a little bit homicidal.

Because books.
Can't you just unsubscribe from them, like anything?
The one year I did NaNo, I don't remember emails.

I don't get emails. So, yes, at some point I killed them all.

I've found myself a new writing/critique group! Local authors who all write YA -- most of them were at the signing last week, and they seem like a really fun group.
Wish me luck! I need some f2f people here, and a writing group makes it even better.

Good deal, Amy! I hope it's a good group, with helpful insights and No Drama.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Amy, that sounds excellent so far!
I don't get NaNo e-mails either, and I think I just created the account (and didn't mess with any settings) this year, so maybe that's the default. I completely forgot to write on Saturday, and I am not hitting the daily target to make the magic 50,000 by the end of the month, but other than the one day I have written SOMETHING every day and that was really my goal. So, yay for that.

Yeah, I haven't worked on the story, but I've written more non-fiction, and I am perfectly happy with that, since I gotta pay the bills, yo.
NaNoWriMo, I subvert your word count to fit my own needs! Suck it!!!

Heh, spoke to soon, perky e-mail in my inbox. But there are settings to change to not get any more...
