It's that time of year again!

That's right, it's the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), also known as 'The Time Of Year When Xiao Goes Even Crazier'.

It starts in... *checks clock* 1 hour and 46 minutes. In 1 hour and 47 minutes I will proceed to start writing like a maniac and losing sleep.

As per last year, this thread will be a record of my progress and a place to ask questions. So, you know, try to keep the dickery and obscenity to a minimum in this thread, because some of my friends from the NaNo will be visiting and most of them are under 18.

Current Mood: ooooooooooooooooooooooohsmegohsmegohsmeg!!!!

 

Yes, I do hope that you will win this NaNoWriMo competition. Just write, and kick their You-know-what-I-mean. (This is because of the youngsters who may read this.)

 

Yes, that's right. Or perhaps she wants to kick them in their 'jewels'.

 

Knock 'em dead, Xiao!

 

1,112 words in and it's only 2:30am. And... for the first time ever... the first day's work isn't making me gag when I read it... Could it truly be? Have I finally beaten the First Day Curse?

 

You can do it, man.

 

"Man"?

Oh, and goold luck Xiao. Hope you don't get some Writer's Block halfway into the month.

 

AHHHHH! YOU SUCK! Your mother drinks tap water in Adelaide!

 

That isn't all that insulting, you know. Anyone who lives in Adelaide is probably already drugged up, anyway. The tap water wont make them any worse.

Anyway, best of luck!

 

Have you SEEN Adelaide tap water? It's horrific! It's a wonder that anyone's capable of living there at all. Bleck.

 

Um, whoops? Pleasedon'tkillme...

Reasons For Me To Never Write About Food Again: I wrote about my character planning a meal and now I need to go fry some goddamn fish and drink red wine and I HAVE NO FISH OR RED WINE!!!! I don't even fucking drink!

 

Red wine? With fish?! Go get a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio or if salmon a nice bottle of White Zinfandel/any other blush colored wine.

Though, granted, I've never had an Australian Cabernet Sauvignon so maybe you guys know how to ferment a descent red.

 

Wait, you guys were Australian? Can you tell me anything about "Yarra Yering"?

 

Good luck, Xiao_Caity! Enjoy the process!

 

This may explain why you have so much difficulty with dates.
