Gah! (NaNoWriMo)

[mousme]

Yes, I have kidded myself for a while now that I won't stress out about NaNoWriMo. However, the fact that I wanted to have an hour's nap before the official start of NaNo, combined with the obvious fact that I am too psyched to sleep even though I'm really tired, pretty much puts the lie to any claims of zenification on my part.

Okay, so I was never really calm about this, I'll admit. However, I refuse to make an Issue out of it. I will do my best, and hopefully that will be enough. If not, well, I'll chalk it up to experience (again) and move on.

I am very, very tired. I want to just write my opening scene (hopefully 1,666 words' worth of opening scene, anyway) and go to bed. The rest of the wordcount will come tomorrow.

Right. So, I have music, I have my computer, and the NaNo forums are actually up and running. I'm debating moving the computer into the bedroom, thus avoiding the distraction of the internet during writing. However, the forums are also a source of motivation, so I haven't made up my mind yet.

I am contemplating tea, but I think I may skip that tonight, as I eventually want to get some sleep. :P

I did a bunch of writing for Bluebook with joane this evening, so my writing muscles are all nice and warmed up. Hopefully the scene that has been trying to unfold in my mind will work more or less the way I want it to. I have the beginning and a few possible "ends" to the scene, but the middle is nebulous at best. I guess I'll find out in forty minutes. Thirty-five, if my computer clock is to be believed (which it isn't: it's five minutes fast).


:::ETA:::

Okay, I'm going to brush my teeth a second time. Maybe the mundanity of that will calm me down. I haven't been this wired since... okay, since the gig, so it hasn't been that long. Still! Ack!

If you ever want to vent or flail madly while gibbering at someone about NaNo, my ears are here and undistracted by my own writing. Talking to someone who's done it but isn't directly involved this year might be a good thing.

I may take you up on that later this month, when I'm really gibbering about the project.
