nano nono

[lobelia321]

I'm not doing nano after all. Some serious talking-to from t'h and a previous session with t'counsellor convinced me that I must concentrate on my academic book. This must be my priority, and I must not be sidetracked by compensatory activities! This makes me a bit sad. Where is the fun in my life?

On the other hand! Chris Baty in his wonderful book expressly says that you can do nanowrimo in any month at all. It doesn't have to be November! And last year I had fabulous fun doing nano all by myself in April/May. More, in fact, than I had when I did in November with thousands of others.

So I will give this to myself as a reward. When I finish this damned academic book, I will do nano!!! And buy myself an Alphasmart!

Incentive!!

I've pretty much decided not to do nanowrimo in November either: what with move and fic deadline, I don't have time to do the research I'd like to do, and I will be doing at least two -- maybe three -- Xmasy challenges. And I suspect post-move there will be a slump ...

But it might be fun to be doing a nanowrimo at the same time as you, and comparing wordcounts and plot arcs and stuff.

Yay academic book though!

Oh, that would be fun! What a great idea. To be mutual cheerleaders. Does that mean I will now have to tell you a deadline for my academic book so that we can start on time and all that...??
