And NaNoWriMo is a-Go-Go!

[demiurgent]

Two hours and thirty minutes to the start of National Novel Writing Month.

I'm set. I have the story in my head. It's called Trigger Man. I am totally going to kick its Ass.

This is my new, self made (with help of royalty free art) Nanowrimo icon. I hope you like it.

GO YOU, baby! If I wasn't working on a degree and being a wife and a mamacita, I'd write a novel. Something erotic, no doubt. *giggles*

I wrote an RPG last night, but it was only about 5K words. :) (Did it for a MUSH in search of a really rules-light system.)

... [ahems] Aaaaaaanyway. [takes extensive notes before bed, hi5s fellow-NaNo-er] Good luck! ^_^

Wow...can I relate! I was only writing fanfic over the course of the summer and similar experiences were making me stay up 'til "Ohmigod!" in the morning at least once a week! Have you found a good way to shut it all off so you can get to bed "in under 20min"?


Best,

Figure out when the absolute latest you can afford to go to sleep is - in the summertime, this is no problem for me; in the rest of the year, it's usually around midnight, give or take an hour or two. Write down as much as you possibly can before you hit that deadline - either actual story-writing, or just taking notes. (This is why I keep my laptop on at night, and near my bed.) Then go to sleep, and edit/add/write in the morning. ^_^

I won't be doing NaNoWriMo; Sekrit Projekt Bacon wins there.

Good luck. (And don't forget to do NaNoEdiMo!)
