Well, when I put it that way it seems so far away. :(
Anyway, NaNoWriMo is right around the corner. I'm getting pretty excited, and keep catching myself wandering around grinning at one of my ideas. I'm sure this is off-putting for the rest of the population, but I really don't care about them.
I've been participating in the KiwiWriters pre-NaNo challenges(even though I'm not from New Zealand...lots of us migrated from NaNo boards though, so I'm not the only one), and I think they've helped me by forcing me to at least write down a general idea of what's going on, and by getting some backstory straight. As you can see, I've published 3 of the short stories I wrote, and I'll put the other 2 up as well as the longer 5k-word piece in December. Because nobody likes spoilers.
I got a work shift changed to handle some nastiness at school, and I now have a lunch break on Saturdays, so I bet I'll be spending that time writing. Take 5 minutes to shove down a sandwich, then just bang away on the keyboard for 25 more minutes. Only problem would be if I have to kill a character, they I'd be an absolute wreck while I'm trying to work the circulation desk or something. Oh well, writing trumps all.
November 1st is a Thursday this year. My plan for the day is to stay up lateish(maybe 1:30 am, tops), then go to bed, wake up, go to comp sci class, and sit in the back and write for an hour and thirty minutes. Then go to latin class and not be able to write at all, write some during my 30 minute break, then go to lab, and finally get back home and be able to work again! Isn't school so lovely? I'm glad that it's my short day, though.
See you all in November, unless I get bored and find something else to ramble about prior to then!

Yes, November does seem to be fast approaching. (Maybe a little too fast for my taste.) Even though Thursday is quite busy for me, at least it's not a Monday!
