how to tell if your nanoing

[cornerofmadness]

1) you're spending even MORE time online pissing around and not writing than normal

2) you won't use a hyphen because then it will count as one word. You can always put those in later

3) at least one character will have two first names

4) ditto place names, and occasionally three just to pad that word count


Dear Placid

Really? You have a tattoo on your ass? Since when? Why was it necessary to wake me up at 330AM to tell me this? Fine, an air corps tatt it is. Don't blame me if Melantha laughs at you the first time she see it.

Btw, you're supposed to be the good guy in this so stop acting like such a dick.



I didn't go to the Nano meet up.It's raining hard. It's hard to park in Athens and I didn't like my chances of not killing myself hobbling around with a cane. I wish I didn't have to miss the meetings all the time. ah well.

still nauseous today but at least i got a few more bits of my meal in me before my entire GI tract went into a spasm. bah.

34576 / 50000 words. 69% done!

Placid, she's going to laugh herself sick. You'd better hope you have a good reason for it.

tell me about it. That's why my office looks like it barfed paper. I'm too busy playing bejeweled blitz than organizing.

Ouch at that last bit but LOLZ! at the rest.

I don't leave the hyphens out, I just add a space between the hyphen and the second word. Life has been much easier since I figured out that the NaNo 'bot counter counted hyphenated words as one word. I figure I wrote two words, and I want credit for both those words, dammit.
