buttononthetopHappy Halloween my darlings!
So... just a few more hours to sign up for NaNo and I just can't make up my mind!! It's very (extremely tremendously exceedingly) likely that I won't make the 50,000 words. Not that it really matters, it's not like someone comes to your house an tattoos "I'm a NaNo Loser" on your forehead if you don't make it! It's just that I'm an agonizer – I write a few paragraphs, I read them over, I edit, I look for that perfect word, I fiddle, I research, then I write a few more paragraphs – all the things NaNo doesn't stand for, LOL.
Part of me feels like I should give it another shot (I tried once in the LJ June WriMo and failed spectacularly).
Part of me feels like it would just be a waste of time and add stress to my already cranky-making RL.
Part of me feels like it would be really fun and satisfying to finish.
Part of me feels like it messes with my writing and makes me write badly.
And yet another part of me feels that, even if I fail, it would be a great exercise to loosen up the control freak that lives inside my head…
So… I'm torn…
What do y'all think? Will you laugh and point when I fail? *wink* And just one last question – who's brilliant idea was it to have this thing during November sweeps??? *giggle* Yeah, yeah, my life is ruled by the idiot box, I know, I know… :)
Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!
Enjoy the sugarbuzz!!
