Sorry about the lack of comic yesterday. There was a slight deliriousness moment which I will talk about on tonight’s Saggy Man Breasts strip. At the moment, I’ll just focus the discussion on NaNoWriMo. NaNo is a windmill I always tilt at… and I always fail at.
Always…
But, I usually start the month all fired up and ready to write… but this year… I lack a story. Can’t seem to settle on a single, frickin’ thing to write. It’s more maddening that the writer’s block that usually hits at week two. I clearly just need to pick something and see where it leads me, but yeesh… blank white screen…
Anyone out there having better luck?
Well the actual writing this year from me is as crappy as ever, but it is an interesting experiment this year trying to actually write a novel….instead of 50,000 words of stream of consciousness that may or may not have some story in it.
That is a much tougher thing to be done. How is it going? I fear my own writing is ending up more as a detailed Slightly Off-Topic script…
While as per usual, the majority of it isn’t actually readable, it’s been an interesting process. I’m writing historical fiction about the Beatles so no lack of material. But it is further confirming to me that my best writing, with the possible exception of the bunny stories, is strictly non-fiction.
Hey, hey, hey, none of that now! There is a time and place for everything, and the time for hating your Nano novel is in December. For now, it’s just about the writing!
Is it wrong of me that the first thing I noticed was that “caviar” is misspelled?
And yet, I still can’t get anybody to hire me as a proofreader…go figure!
I actually went to the effort to verify that it was spelled c-a-v-i-a-r… and then I went and typed cavier, anyway… go figure.
Though to be fair, this is NaNoWriMo, and editing is generally reserved for December. 😉
But really, people, you should hire this guy for all your proofreading needs.
“Now get out your arse out here”?
No habla Moonspeak.
I try not to blatantly curse on the web site… what can I say?.. my Mom reads this!
Not 100% sure, but I think he was referring to the sentence structure, not the “curse” word… “get OUT your arse OUT here.” You appear to be a natural moonspeaker who is moonspeak challenged…odd…
Damnit!
Another NaNoNutBurger! Yay! I’ve been writing my fool head off. Normally, I’m pretty complacent during the first week, but since Week 2 will find me recovering from a septoplasty, I’d better get my arse in gear and write like crazy.
Indeed… any concerns that the surgery will affect your lovely voice?
I have requested a pediatric tube during surgery to minimize the risk of chord damage when they intubate me, but other than that, the only effect will be easier breathing and a major resonating chamber opening up more. Most of the time, singers who have this surgery have very positive things to say about the changes. The worst that happens is there’s no discernible difference.
Well, that’s good to hear. Good luck.
