NaNo Count Down
November 1st, 2008
Alright, the NaNo starts in three hours and nine minutes so I better get this all out of my system while I still can.
…
Got distracted now I have 51 minutes until NaNo. I’m so excited and a little nervous. My writing software is all fired up and open just waiting for midnight to roll around. My Hubby bought Kei and I a bunch of candy under the excuse of saying we might get trick or treaters but we’ve never had any before- soooo, I have a really nice sugar high and I only ate maybe a handful of misc. treats. I don’t really like candy but I am liking this hyper buzz that’s causing me to talk a million miles a minute.
Hubby also bought Kei and I our favorite orange cream (non caffeinated of course). He’s such a sweetheart- he may not understand our writerly ways or our desire to channel the people in our heads but he’s still so supportive.
…
Got distracted again. Now I have 30 minutes.
You know- it’s Halloween and instead of going ‘oh, my gosh! it’s Halloween!’ like I used to do when I was a little kid now I go ‘oh, my gosh it’s almost NaNoWriMo!’. :) I feel so grownup.
…
20 minutes.
Special writing/plot oriented play lists created on my fully charged mp3 player. I even have a play list for each main character.
Comfy writers nest all comfy’fied, blanket all fluffy and pillows stolen back from cats.
Headphones located.
Post being written.
Brain running in a frantic circle trying to figure out what to do for the next few minutes.
Wait! I know!
I’ll look at my notebook and drool letting my fingers itch and twitch to type.
*runs away to NaNo land*
Leave a message after the beep.
BEEP!
Good luck! :D
Aww, that was sweet of him and good luck with Nano. I am gathering my playlist still for my writing, trying something new.
Hehe, I felt the exact same way right before NaNo started. It really started getting to me on Thursday and Friday, and by about an hour before NaNo I was having a hard time sitting still. I was thinking that, too, myself… When I was little, I couldn’t sleep on October 30th because I was so excited to be going out trick-or-treating. Now, I can’t sleep on October 30th because NaNo is so close.
I hope that your after-midnight writing went well. It’s so nice to be able to wake up on November 1st and realize that you’ve got a decent head-start on the days word count, don’t you think?
good luck! :-D
over nine hours into day two and i’m still undecided about whether to participate. i hope you enjoy the experience and get what you want from it. :-)
Franc: You too! I hope to see you around and keep in touch throughout November. :D
Terra: Hello, Terra, always wonderful to see a new face around here. :) I wish you the best of luck! I’ll try and stop by your blog just as soon as I’m done catching up on comments.
Chibi: Oh, yeah! This was my sister’s first year and she’s been going nuts all month and the jitteriness was contagious as far as I’m concerned. Lolz, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who traded their Halloween happiness in for NaNoWeen happiness. :D Muchly agreed! I’ll stop by soon. :)
J1M: Thank you! :D Even if you don’t participate I wish you the best via anything writing related you do this month and then on! :D Thankies!
