totally here in the kat and vera's room having halloween-y fun. we're watching hocus pocus and i'm quoting along with the movie, as i know it by heart. but even though i'm having so much fun here, i'm still thinking about nano and getting wicked excited. and missing getaway_machine like whoa, because she's my nano partner. i dunno, things aren't the same without rach here to talk with about this.

and dude, i'm trying so hard not to write this novel. i want to so bad, it isn't funny.

i finished my 2003 nano novel like i promised that i would. and i got my nano shirt in the mail on thursday and it was wicked exciting and yes, i say wicked a lot tonight. i'm also slightly intoxicated as i'm typing this on vera's computer. i dunno, i really can't wait. it's literally twenty four hours ago and i'm still having a hard time not starting.

the novel is just so strong in my mind that i don't know how to turn it off at times. i've had to yell at myself fairly often in this past week to not pick up a pen and start it up because she wants her story to be told, and she wants to know about what happens and how he factors in and why she has to go rescue that guy because she doesn't like him and all this stuff that she just needs to know. and he...he wants to admit that he loves her already and see her reaction and just all the things that he doesn't know and wants to know.

basically they want to know. and i'm not letting them. and it's annoying them. and they're annoying me. it's a big annoyance waiting twenty four more hours. i'm trying to organize a chat room write-in for those in my nano_students community.

and i've still got all my homework to do tomorrow night before charmed (chris!) and yeah.

ending now.

please don't hump my neck!

er, yeah. erin is being a dork and making her stuffed doggy hump my neck. and joanna is focusing. just an fyi.

i'm not sure how i feel about the new nano site. it's nano-like, i guess but it's still an adjustment and i guess it'll take some getting used to. it's pretty, i think. but it's the same thing when they changed the LJ site. just something i'm not used to but will eventually, (hopefully) come to adore.

can i be a municipal liason? i really, really want to. cause it'll be work, but i want it so bad. if i decide to do it, i'm gonna need to learn how to get on the bus and get to walmart so that the rest of central illinois can meet up at border's -- which seems like a good meeting place.

AH JESUS CHRIST!

joanna and erin just turned on the computer with the sound and scary and omg, i jumped in the air.

but anyways, i want it to be november. right now. seriously. and i bid you all farewell now. love!

kat says yay love!

we're discussing legal drinking age in the room right now. i'm on kat's new awesome computer, talking with her friend over aim. after this we're going to practice with bokkens -- which are japanese wooden practice swords. and that so counts as possible nano novel research. i'm getting so antsy and i want to write right now.

but i did make progress finishing last year's nano. i wrote about six hundred words last night -- which is definitely a step in the right direction. i think that i'm going to get it finished hopefully before the middle of the october and then i should be able to concentrate on my nano.

but yes, sword fighting today will be research as one of my main characters in either one of the possible nano novels can and does sword fight. i've done it before, enough so that i can devote most of my thinking to recording how a fight takes place and the mechanics and all that. however, our pizza has arrived and therefore i will be updating and leaving.

and i just wanna give credit to getaway_machine for having the idea about bitching/writing about the writing process which i am so ripping off. love ya darling.

update-age!

hi. welcome to the nano of kathryn marie salo. yes, i know this entry is not locked. all entries after this dealing with the novel will be locked. why, you ask?

simply put, i am terrified of "first publication rights." violation of this rule may result in this book never being published. that would make me sad and it would make me cry and nobody wants that, right?

so. therefore, i am asking you to understand and be understanding and if for whatever reason, i choose not to add you -- accept it. it's my journal. it's my novel, it's my creation and i control it.

still confused? www.nanowrimo.org

want that awesome nano desktop? 800x600 or 1024x768

want the awesome pink bikie background on this journal? unless you're ashley it ain't happening.

comment to be added. love!
