NaNoWriMo has opened.
I'm scared.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

What is even happening?
But it's not No yet. It's still just O. They should call it NaOWriMo, for the nonce.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It doesn't stand for November. It stands for Novel.

Oh, that's right. It's so linked with November in my mind, I'd forgotten that.
sheesh, can't even be truthy around here

Yes, I thought the Mo was always No.
At any rate, I think that I'm going to fail to do it again this year!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It starts Nov 1, but you can sign up now (I'm looking at doing it with my class)

Hey, new and exciting failure options! This year I have absolutely no chance of getting it done, because I'm going to be traveling three out of the four available weeks. So I should try it! No pressure, right? And who knows, maybe I'll get a ton of writing done sitting at my convention booth.

That's how I feel: I'm almost certain to fail, so: no pressure! Also, it's impossible to write anything good that fast, so: I can suck!
Except I can't convince myself that it's okay to (a) fail, (b) suck, and (c) do both at the same time.
Perfectionism is the reason I don't write, and the reason I should do NaNoWriMo, and the reason I probably won't.
I suck.

Seventeen worlds of this.

Ha. I am not a perfectionist. I have bins and bins full of notebooks with really genuinely lousy writing in them. I enjoy it, though.
