NaNooNaNoo

Here at the station we have turned NaNoWriMo into the more manageable (and funnier) NaWriAssMo. Last year I did the novel half-marathon because I needed time to have sex. This year I have school instead, so I have set the manageable but still satisfying goal of 10,000 words. Perhaps that reflects a mature if slightly depressing change in my priorities.

I'm meaning to set the work in the World (since having a pre-setting was useful last year.) [livejournal.com profile] inlandsea can tell about her project.

November, since it is such an uninspiring time of year in this region, is the perfect time for a medium-difficult writing assigment. This is just the sort of time they mean when they say you have to write even when you don't feel like it.

For a wonder, I more or less do feel like it, but first I have to finish reading A Winter's Tale.

Frac crosses the finish line (half-marathon)

25,087 words.

With three and a half hours and almost a paragraph to spare.

I set a goal and met it. It feels so weird to... succeed.

And the decadence of stopping at 8:30. Like I was gettiing away with something.

I even learned some things.
