this will go well with my newfound insomnia.

you should all do it, too.

p.s. i wouldn't even know about this shit if it weren't for shannon, so when you go along with my encouragement and suffer for the next month and end up hating writing and also me, just remember. IT'S HER FAULT! <333

That's about seven pages a day. I've always wanted to participate in NANO Wri Month but I've always had to do other things. What is your book about?

[thehighwaycurse]

1667 words per day, minimum. not that hard, really.
but i'm doing something crazy.
i want to give myself a week, at the end, to go back and edit and fine tune.
which puts me at a pace of 2174 words, per.

the purpose and plot of the book is still amorphous, but i've got some time still to bang that out before it starts.
the title is going to be "sisyphus takes a cigarette break," though!

you should participate!

you're an insomniac?
naturally.
no wonder i haven't been sleeping.

i can't tell if it's from excess mental activity, emotional malfunction, lack of sex, disgust at a lack of productivity, nicotine, or the pills.
probably all of the above, en masse.

but it's not a curse :)
i've got so much more time to get reading and writing done, now, which i feel are the only two activities i'm successful at when i'm sleep-deprived.

why aren't you sleeping, love (i already know the answer)?

[janex]

why, it's because an an excess mental activity, emotional malfunction, lack of sex, disgust at a lack of productivity, & the pills! nicotine is the only thing we don't have in common 100% of the time.

i have, however, stopped taking the pills. i may resume different ones, we shall see.

i don't think i can ever express the kind of comfort i get from knowing someone so eerily similar to myself.

[thehighwaycurse]

agreed.
it /is/ comforting.
and calming, calming.

would you believe that i'm losing one of my best and closest friends, partly because i fail at communication?

Yaaay! Let's recruit as many people as we can, and have Nano parties! Then we can have one big party at the end of the month in celebration of whatever we've completed!

I'd really like to do this. I would. But there's no way in hell. After job and rehearsals most days, all I've got left time for is sleep. I would NOT be able to keep up the word count. ;_;

Hey, who got you started last year? CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!
By the way, I'm way ahead of you. So.. bitch.

this doesn't seem to involve food for me...
