Awesome, P-C!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Because books.
Good job, you, P-C! Isn't it a great but weird feeling?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know how I wrote a whole book. It doesn't feel real. I mean, it is a not a very good book but it's the first draft so it doesn't need to be, it is mostly book-shaped and that's what matters.

It's an impressive accomplishment.
Every year I think about doing NaNoWriMo, and every year I chicken out.
I don't actually want to write a novel. I just want to have written a novel.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yeah. I want the ideas in my head to fall out and assemble themselves magically.

Like I said, great but weird. :-)

In my experience, the worst thing is to think about writing a novel. But thinking about jotting down notes first, and later about writing a scene, or a set number of pages a day (or even a set number of scenes a week), can help break down what seems monumental into doable.

Wasn't thought-to-text transcription on the BBaBB to-do list?

Two things that have helped forced me to get writing done are external deadlines and writing partners. The former are often set by the latter.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I would love to get back to writing my novel because I actually like it and miss my characters, but I had to back burner it for reasons relating to marital harmony and parental responsibility. sigh. But I've been depressed ever since. I need to find a time when I can write again.

My writing has come back to me. I think the end of worrying allowed me to do "frivolous" stuff again.
