I did it! I blogged for 30 straight days. If you read my stuff, thanks. Your prize, apparently, is this phoned-in post. But listen: I did learn some things this month. First and foremost: you have time for the things that are top priority. If you don’t have time to write (or exercise or whatever)Continue reading “30 Days of Blogging”

The Wrimo Is Here
So I’m about 3000 words behind already, which isn’t great, but what can you do. I have a million excuses, but they’re either boring and entirely made-up, or real and worth a post down the line, so I’ll save them. (Because I’m greedy about my material like that.) All I’ll say in the meantime isContinue reading “The Wrimo Is Here”
In Which I Post Every Day, Yes Every Day, for a Whole ENtire Month
I’m doing NaBloPoMo. This is in place of NaNoWriMo, which I did last year, but is too much work for my lazy ass this year. In order to be fully in the spirit of the thing, I waited til Sunday to commit to this proposition, and am backdating this entry. After the James Frey thing,Continue reading “In Which I Post Every Day, Yes Every Day, for a Whole ENtire Month”
The Naked Neighbor
My neighbor across the way doesn’t believe in curtains, but she does believe in ginormous cotton underpants, and sitting in front of her window in the mostly-nude. So that’s three things we have in common. My feeling about drapes has always been, well hell, if people are nice enough to do weird things in theirContinue reading “The Naked Neighbor”
Human Behavior
One of the most interesting things about doing NaNoWriMo is that it’s given me a rare view into how effing crazy we human types all are – crazy and jealous. Here’s the thing: Anything you write in a month’s time probably won’t be winning the National Book Award. At best, you’ll wind up with aContinue reading “Human Behavior”
I Am a Terrible Person
Family Guy quote left for Coworker Dennis (a fellow WriMo): “How you uh, how you comin’ on that novel you’re working on? Huh? Got a a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Got a, got a nice little story you’re working on there? Your big novel you’ve been working on for three years? Huh?Continue reading “I Am a Terrible Person”
NaNoWriMo Is Turning Me Into a Crank
The neighbors are cooking something that smells for all the world like parakeet droppings. I’m starting to really hope that I’m having a stroke instead, because otherwise, those poor souls really shouldn’t be allowed to cook for themselves. I did see other humans today, you’ll be happy to hear. (Do these posts seem at allContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Is Turning Me Into a Crank”
Boring-est
I have 3478 words of NaNoWriMo fun in my bank of wordy goodness. This might not sound like much to you, but my sore wrist says otherwise. Other things I have, besides 3478 words and a sore wrist: 1) Two candles that don’t smell.2) A statue of Ganesha. This is because I went to theContinue reading “Boring-est”
NaNoWriMo!
Hello, my neglected lovelies. I come bearing apologies and news. Also, possibly carpal tunnel syndrome, as you will soon see: 1) I am doing NaNoWriMo.2) This means that I have to write about 1667 words per day for the next 30 days.3) I broke up with my boyfriend. See how I tucked that last oneContinue reading “NaNoWriMo!”
