So in addition to new, more involved blogs, I've decided to blog a general "State of the Author" type of blog at the beginning of each month only.

Spent a good portion of the day reviewing my writing guides and adding more notes to my story notes.

And damn it, I wish I had more time.

I've written at least 12 more pages of notes for review and planning, and I want to get so much more jotted down before the challenge starts.

I have been looking forward to writing this project for so long, now that it's only a few days away, I'm trembling with anxiety. I'm so excited to be finally starting this project which will be a major step forward in my "writing" career. After this, I only have one more big story that I feel that I "must" write before I can ever move on to bigger things.

Figures.

Two days left and I have to work an 11 hour day and take my car to the shop to get a new battery. I don't even get home until after 9:00.

I've got so much more preparation I want to do for NaNoWriMo! I don't have time to dilly-daddle or do art things!

Well, just FML

Another 10 hour day at work. I come home completely exhausted past 7. And it looks like tomorrow's gonna be another one. At least I got a bunch more notes done and quite a bit of research put in.
