I can't work, I can't achieve

Oh no, NaNo!

Sun, 31 Oct 2010 17:55:53 GMT

Greetings, fellow NaNo bots. I can't believe it is already time for this business again.

This year, I'll be kinda doing NaNo, insofar as I will still be using the month to force myself to write at least 1,667 words a day, but I will not be working on a single 50,000 word work. I suppose that means I won't be eligible for prizes, but I think just making myself get back into writing a little will be prize enough.

That said, what I will be doing is a mix of behind the scenes work on current open projects (mostly the Starvation 'verse and the Keith and Jake in the 80s thing) and shorter new pieces that I will post as I write them. aliya suggested I do a sort of genderfuck theme, and I think I'll see how that goes.

Hopefully NaNo this year will be awesome for everyone taking it on. I'm looking forward to doing some reading! ;)

[And, yes, the ugly layout stands. So ugly!]
