Stuff and things...

1. sgamadison wrote me a gorgeous birthday story - Woodstoves and Fireplaces. Thank you! *hugs*

2.

If you haven't yet voted in the McShep awards, it's time to do so! There are so many excellent stories that I wish I could vote for them all!

2,5. Thank you again for the nominations!

3. NaNoWriMo starts in a week! I have a bunch of characters and a very very vague plot which mostly consists of turning my main character into a cat. Much fun to be had! Also, I'll probably spend most of November in my NaNo-LJ: zinnith_nano so if you're interested in my life during NaNo, come over there and join the fun!

4. How nerdy is it that I now automatically code all my stories while I'm writing them? And speaking of code... how do you do the little hearts? I haven't been able to figure it out.

Okay...*looks around nervously*

I'm not really sure how the whole thing works, you know. Guess I can figure it out...

Is there anything in particular you have questions about? It's pretty straightforward really - midnight, November 1:st you can start writing. Midnight, November 30:th you stop. If you have 50 000 words by that time, you have won.

If you want to know what's happening in your area you can affiliate with the region of your choice - that way you should get messages from your local ML:s with information about kick-off and TGIO parties, write-ins and such things. (That is, if your ML:s are doing their jobs... I've yet to inform my poor non-forum going WriMos about the kick-off on Saturday... bad ML, no cookie!)

I guess I was expecting some kind of email before now. As it is, I've barely had time to think about what I want to do. Yikes. I am a little worried about this. I wanted to try my hand at some original characters but now I'm not so sure. And I really don't have time to play around on the forums and such. (I did add you as a buddy though!)

You guys probably won't see or hear from me much this coming month--which might not be a bad thing!

I don't think you have anything to worry about, I know you can do it *hugs*. The trick is to give your inner editor the sack for the month and just concentrate on getting those 1667 words a day down on paper. It doesn't even have to be good words, they just need to be written. You don't have to show them to anyone if you don't want to!

Now see, 1667 sounds *doable* to me. :-)

That's the beauty of it! 50k is a whole lot of words. 1667 a day, not so much *g*
