Ugh.

[kellan_the_tabby]

I'm sick as a dog. My throat is full of crap and everything aches.

I've written 200 words so far today, and they all suck.

I tore the sleeve on my favourite flannel at work today, so I didn't even have another to change into.

I kept _dropping_ things. And getting pissed off, and then dropping something else.

And frelling Bush got elected again.

I said to meradudd earlier that I felt like half of the country had just voted me off the island, and he pointed out that actually, at least in eleven particular states, it was between 2/3 and 3/4.

I cannot freaking believe that all eleven states voting on measures to ban gay marriage passed them. Apparently overwhelmingly.

Well, fuck y'all, too.

Yeah...those of you who are reading this aren't the people I'm saying that to. Many of you are probably feeling much the same way. And with reason; lots and lots of my dear friends are gay, or bi, or polyamorous, or oddly gendered one way or another, or just prefer sexual practices which aren't mainstream, or indeed several of the above.

And that's only one of my issues with the election, but I'm not going to go on about that; I think elfs said it much better than I could manage, here...

Anyone want to move to Canada with me? We can buy a big ol' chunk of land, build a wall around it, and grow food, and not have to deal with the rest of the stinkin' world.

I'm going back to bed.

Australia has less snow!

And I have to say, I read the part about writing and pictured a piece of paper that looked like:

suck suck suck suck suck suck
suck suck suck suck suck suck
suck suck suck suck suck suck

200 times...

But, then, I have written 0 words myself so far, so who am I to even be talking to a great NaNo participant like you, who is way ahead? :)

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yeah, but I _like_ snow. Also I couldn't leave the cats.

suck suck suck suck suck suck
suck suck suck suck suck suck
suck suck suck suck suck suck

It's tempting, right now...

So write! _Stuff_! Write a story about Bush...oh, I should say any of the rest of that one, the Thought Police would come after me. So write a story about all the rest of us moving to Australia.

Alas, the problem isn't a story to write; I have that. The problem is I am knee-deep in an RPG and just won't be able to properly focus on writing till I am done. :)

[kellan_the_tabby]

_That_, I'm afraid, is another issue entirely...

You'll start soon, though, right? Besides which, really, NaNoWriMo isn't about focusing on it properly, it's about _doing_ it.

So do it!

[mistwolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll start soon. I do have notes and stuff and spend a lot fo time THINKING about where I'm gonna go with it, just haven't done "real" work yet. ;) I missed a lot of prep time deciding three days before Halloween to do this. =)

[kellan_the_tabby]

Good!

Thinking about it, at least for people like me and (I suspect) you, is working on it. Just don't delay too long on the typing or it'll be way too easy to give up.

And, yeah, three days before isn't much for us anal-retentive types. But I think you'll be all right; the key part is being able to type for hours at a time and I _know_ you can do that. :)
