nano: day-oh crap, it's already the third day?

Embarrassing truth: I've yet to complete a Nano.

I usually start strong (except for last year when Jen had to go to the hospital and get her gallbladder taken out). I'll be writing, getting further into a story (except for the year before that, when I fought off a cold), and then something will happen (like the time I got food poisoning). One might almost think I was cursed.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to try again, though ;)

This year, I've decided to do something a little different. Maybe it'll kill the curse, maybe it'll just make for an interesting month. We'll find out in a few weeks.

What's so different about this WIP? The protagonist... is a girl.

It's something I've kicked around from time to time. It's not usually my kind of thing but I've read a few stories where the women are shrews who are just there to get in the way of the m/m romance and I'd like to see if I can write something more positive. It's more of a fantasy than romance but it'll be fun. Or at least interesting.

Sooo... current word count:


46 / 50000 words. 0% done!

Yup, totally off to a good start :)

Discussion from this morning:

Jen: are you going to do nano again?

me: yes.

Jen: okay. I'll pick up some Nyquil, vitamin C, orange juice, your favorite tea, chicken soup, and aspirin on my way home.

me: I might not get sick!

Darian: meow.

Jen: oh, you're right. I need to add tissue to the list.
