Nothing happens except I suppose your own sense of utter failure and self-loathing. XD Just kidding. But you're right, it would look really impressive on a resume. Also, once you write that much I think it's a lot easier to get an editor if you so desire to print the thing.

You know, I've always meant to do this. And I know a shit load of people who do it.

I signed up, anyway. The idea I have isn't fleshed out enough...but I'll work on it and keep it in mind for next year ^__^

Oh man, last time I thought about posting in my LJ, I totally thought about posting about this.

But write now I have like ZERO free time and I don't think I'll do it.
Actually, I was considering doing NaNoMango (which stands for nothing, but sounds good and is basically 30 comic pages in 30 days) instead, and I think I'm gonna stick with that, since I can just half-ass stick-figure comic pages when I don't have much time and maybe end up with a few nice ones by the time it's all over.

Some comic things that I do in like, two minutes end up being really funny anyway.

Hey, do you work on Thursday, and what time are you guys planning on heading to Everett?

OH SHIT SON, DO YOU SEE THAT WEIRD SUBCONSCIOUS TYPO THAT I MADE THERE????

You can tell what's on my nasty nasty mind.

WRITING.

Gawd, Jennifer your mind is so nasty. I do work on Thursday, but we're leaving right after Steph gets off work for Everett. We were thinking about possibly calling ahead to the hotel so you could check in sooner. The earliest you can check in is 4. So...I will call you.

Cool bean-ez.
What time does Steph get off work?

My class gets out at 1, but I don't know if I'll be ready to pick up and go right then, I'll probably have to go home and get my shit together first. Plus I don't think I wanna end up there around 5pm, traffic will probably clear up more if I wait a bit later.

But yeah, if you guys can arrange it so I'm allowed to check in if I get there earlier, that'd be extremely convenient. :D

so i've come to the sad conclusion that most likely I wont be able 50,000 words by the end of the month. It's only 90 pages but it took me 3 months to write 70pages...

However i just lost my job so i have some extra free time... =/
i'll just keep working at it
