Nano Perspective

Okay, change of pace. I went and read back through my journal, and you know what? That feeling Neil Gaiman was talking about, and that I have been having the past few days-- the discontent, I can't write anything worthwhile and what the hell was I thinking that I could for anyway-- I've had it before. A Lot. Like, every time I have written anything over the past year.

So, here I am at Bruegger's Bagels in the quaint neighborhood of Clifton, by the University of Cincinnati, and I am getting ready to bang out the last little bit I need to win nano. I have a thermos of coffee that's hot, and when the line goes down I will get snacks. I have good music. I have a wee hobgoblinn here doing "research". I have my nano07 icon by ishtaritu to inspire me. I have a fellow nano-er writing pr0n or something at the next table over (but wee hob can't see that, as her laptop is faced discreetly away from him.) I have others joining me at 2pm. I have 3 hours before I have to leave for mass. I can so do this.

So I will get to it.

ETA: You know, part of my problem may indeed be caffeine poisoning. Today's about the day to check for that, according to the nano boards....

Day 25 Word count =1720

Yeah, I think caffeine poisoning and insano hormones may explain the last several whinging posts. I am this close to getting the word count now. None of the stories are "done" but they are getting somewhere. Perhaps not a very good somewhere, but somewhere nonetheless. And I still have 5 days.

antennapedia's cool word count widget says:

49,664 / 50,000
(99.3%)

I have spent the last hour reading the nano boards and seeing what interesting questions people are asking for help on. A couple of the threads actually pertain to something I was doing (and it was cool that I guessed right about one of them.) I may break down and ask my stupid question directly, after I sort through the already posted ones...

That is all.
