I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year and THIS YEAR I plan on actually going all the way with it. (I’ve started about 3 times before but never made it past week 2.) The only problem is that, unlike other years, I don’t even have a premise and am pretty sure I’m going to sit down and ramble for 50,000 words, which won’t really make me feel like I’ve actually accomplished the goal. I mean, I ramble for 50,000 words every month as is; shouldn’t I at least try to make it into some sort of story arc? But then, there’s a reason I’ve never made plans to write a novel and that’s because I don’t really want to write a novel because I don’t think I’m the Novel-Writer-type so much as the Essay-and-Short-Story-Writer-type. Could be interesting. Maybe I’ll take a couple spoonfuls of NyQuil and let a premise come to me…

Anyway, yes. That’s happening. (The NaNoWriMo thing. Not the NyQuil thing.) And I’m trying to drum up business. And I’m halfway through my first book from my 15 Months of Canon Project. And I’m jumping back on the Weight Watchers Wagon, ’cause that’s been shot all to hell this month.

And that’s what’s up.
