NaNo

Well, this is it...the first day of NaNoWriMo. I'm sitting here asking myself what I've gotten myself into, but I've been looking forward to this for months. Talk about contradictory. :P

The only thing I'm unsure of is which one to write. I have two kicking around in my head. One a fantastical vision of Georgian pirates, and the other Victorian porn/romance. I don't think I could get any more disparate if I tried.

Writing aside, there's still lots to do today, like look for work (grumble), clean up the Hallowe'en decorations, change over the computer scheme to something less spooky, groceries, and drop off film. Plus any work I want to do on some handmade Christmas gifts (sooner is so much better than later, and far less stressful).

That probably means I should stop updating LJ and get started or risk feeling guilty that nothing got done today (not even a start on my novel).

(no subject)

Well, I've started. I'm about 800 words in, which isn't much, I know, but it's not been easy to write. I find it easier to procrastinate than to force the words out. And maybe that's part of the problem. It feels forced. Ah well. Maybe tomorrow night will be better.
