NaNoWriMusic 2008

theorangemonkey Nov 06, 2008 18:58

I don't believe I've actually mentioned anything about this yet, but I'm on a CD! Along with several other Toronto novel writing month people, I've been working on a CD of songs about writing and the creative process. Everyone appearing on it is a NaNoWriMo participant, and we're selling copies of it as a fundraiser for the organization that ( Read more... )

Obama

theorangemonkey Nov 05, 2008 21:33

This is an amazing speech. There are some things about Obama I'm not entirely thrilled about, but I'm enough of a pragmatist to know that he's the best possible president the US could have at the moment. I just hope he can carry through with the promise that his campaign has brought forward. For the record, THIS is what a leader sounds like:

Nano!

So, today's been a Nano-filled day, but not necessarily one that's been filled with writing.

first day of nano update

theorangemonkey Nov 01, 2008 23:02

Wrote a smidge over 2500 words, which I believe makes it the most productive first day for me in Nano history. The story's going fairly well so far, as well. Someone should find a way to make sure that November 1st always falls on a Saturday.

Halloween is almost here! I'm sure you didn't need me to tell you that, though - by now I'm sure most people have their Halloween trees decorated, are visiting their neighbours to sing the traditional Halloween carols, and have their wishlists all ready for Sandy Claws.
