Keeping a brain alive and functioning is just science-fiction.

That's what THEY want you to think.

I fell behind over the weekend, so yesterday was a catch-up day. And I did it! I'm at 9,420 words. So, by the end of today, I'll be a fifth of the way to the goal. Woo-hoo! Go me.

Hey Kuntrey--what's your NaNo name? I'll add you as a buddy. I've added everyone in this thread who indicated their NaNo name. It's fun to see where people are at in their word counts! Keep up the good work, everyone.

Oh and SE--thank you so much for sharing your NaNoWriMo score card. I'm using it and it totally helps me keep track. And I love that it does the math for me. It's awesome! You should patent it or something.  

Yesterday I wrote 1,570. I've written 200 so far today. So I'm still close to being on schedule, if I keep it up. I'm doing it in small increments, since my attention span is like nil.

And I have to keep reminding myself to just write and not worry about whether it's fabulous prose or not. When I do that, I tend to stop and edit and analyze and throw off my writing groove. None of that! I'll edit it in December, when I actually have a novel.

Talk about procrastinating...but I finally signed up. I added Hauf and EJS as my buddies because I know your usernames. I don't know what other people's names are on the site, like SE and Gemm and KB. I'm not sure it matters, since I don't know how much I'll actually be using the site, but it's nice to have friends on there either way!

For my username, since Chimera was taken, I used my livejournal username (which no one seems to have): Zeliot. So that's the name you all can find me under at the NaNoWriMo site.

Good luck everyone! Tommorrow is Day One.  

I agree. I saw this movie on Friday with my parents and we all liked it. Though, it is not a leisure movie. You really have to pay attention and be willing to work your brain a lot. The hardest part for me was all the jumps in time. It took at least 30 minutes into the film, perhaps more, until I could start placing events as either in the "beginning," "middle," or "end" category. After a while, you get used to it, and then the story starts rolling. But, if there was a drawback to the film, I'd definitely say it was the non-linear storytelling. Great acting, great atmosphere, intriguing story. And yes, very sad. The desire for revenge can have devastating consequences.

But very good. I liked it a lot. I'm glad I saw it early on, before somebody could spoil anything for me.

The wierd part is that legally I'm still considered unemployed since the job falls under the category of a public servant (or something like that).

Pfft. Employment is so over-rated.  

Congrats!  

Send one my way. But I make absolutely no promises.

I did read another book by a friend in an entire day. So, you never know. If my mood and the fates allow...you just might get some feedback.
