I'm slowly, but surely getting the things I want accomplished by Friday evening done. The schedule is going to be a bit of a problem, only in that it's possible that I could be called in to substitute at the last minute, or my dad could call me in to get odd jobs done around his business. My goal is to get 10 pages written every day. This is only because I figure the more I can get done in the beginning, the more leeway time I'm going to have when Thanksgiving rolls around. We'll see if that happens.

Gearing Up

I've spent the last few days, and will spend the next few days gearing up for Nano. What does this mean? It means, creating the basic plot and outline or characters for the novel, doing insane amounts of laundry, cleaning up the living and working spaces, updating the writing and professional websites, and other odd bits of things so that I can, in all conciousness, let about 65% of my life fall by the wayside during November. Luckily this year, I don't have a family wedding in another state to attend. One other thing I plan on doing is drawing up daily and weekly schedules so that I can get what I can't let fall by the wayside as well as the writing done.

The Chicago-area branch of Nanos is having a kick-off party on Saturday at 6p at the Ten Cat which is on the far North Side. I do plan on attending barring any unforseen circumstances which I am not naming in fear of them actually happening. Hope to see you there if you're in the area.

Hot damn, I'm back in business. This blog will take over from my previous one, until I feel motivated to work out the coding problems that resulted from my webhost switching servers back in May. The old blog is still at http://www.dunneback.com/musings.

The reason why I restarted this blog is because I will be participating in NaNoWriMo during November. This is to record how I'm doing, so keep an eye out for daily or so posts once November begins.
