In which I make no appologies
Yes, well, I didn't manage to squeeze in my 15 minutes yesterday. No worries, Mate. I've officially signed up for the NaNoWriMo (though I think I said that Friday, didn't I?) And I'm wondering if I should hang out in the YA forum or not. Posted a few things there, but it's full of very young writers. Not that I mind that, but their concerns will probably be slightly different from mine. Of course, won't have much time to "hang out" but if I do try to connect, I might also try the SF/F forum.
Did some coding-type stuff today. Did I mention I want to be independently wealthy so I could quite my job (and still buy a house)? Yeah, well, that's the plan. Getting the lottery ticket tomorrow. It's not as much of a non-sequitor as it looks, since one of the reasons I want to not have a job is to do more coding-type stuff. And writing, of course. But that's pretty much a given.
Ok, I need to make a mental note to go look up more names for some of my characters. Spent yesterday bouncing from one event to another, so I really didn't think much about the story. Also needed to ponder some writing for work, which is not going as well as I would like. Trying to get a "plot" of sorts for non-fiction-type writing is damned hard. But even factual stuff needs threads of some sort to hang onto. Try finding a plot thread for a simplified statistics story... I dare you....
So, turns out I didn't make up all the HGH stuff. Sundays is apparently "sell HGH Day" on the radio. Woke up to some guy telling us how wonderful the stuff is. I doubt it could be as wonderful as it was in the dream I built around the chatter, though. Honestly, I have no idea what it is really for as a supplement... Just know the infomercial types claim it's wonderful. But then, infomercial types always claim that sort of thing, so that's not really anything special.
I'm doing ok with the blog thing. If the day gets totally crazy (like yesterday) then I don't fare so well, but I've been more consistent than I thought I would be when I start this. I guess if I just don't skip two days in a row, I can really develop the habit. And I'm finding it helpful in terms of learning to put down stuff without thinking too hard. And not worrying about it after it's down- just move on to the next thing. Unlike the book, though, I don't plan to go back and fix it later. That's not the point of this. This is just pure first draft crap you are reading. You want polished, buy my first novel ;) ;)
Just do it. Like Nike says... That's the idea. Even if I toss half of it, I'll have more than I started with. But the key is going to be a little bit every day...
Welp, need to get back to the coding, so I'm not planning to run over my time tonight.
