NaNoWriMo.
I'm at 4135 words.
I wrote 3385 of those tonight.

ghettopeach, orelle_peredhil, whoever else is local to me: we should meet up and write and have shenanigans. I want to get a whole lot written this weekend, so. Yes. Good times. I know an awesome froyo place around here.
I'm Kiaxet on the NaNo website. Friend me.
And I still need to 1. sleep off this cold and 2. go to work tomorrow, so I am going to bed. Further bulletins - about Halloween, aboutuniversejuice's visit, about everything - as events and time warrant.
Favorite lines of the night:
There was something wild, poetic, and utterly stupid about fighting in the rain. He’d heard people talk about stormy battles as though they were some great romantic thing, like the lightening crackling across the sky and the thunder rolling all around was some great majestic wonder and that it made the battle that much better. In truth, rainy fighting was wet and cold and completely miserable. If Terra summoned his armor, his visibility would be all but shot and he’d be heavier, making it that much more difficult to move over the soggy ground, so for now, he was without that extra layer of protection. The lightening arcing across the sky only made him even more aware of the fact that his Keyblade was long and made of metal and that he was inordinately fond of the overhead strike, which left it pointing up at the sky – if only for a split second – more often than not. The thunder was distracting every time it boomed and made listening for his opponent, which blended well into the high grasses and overcast gloom, that much more difficult. The rain was cold and made his clothes chafe and his weapon slippery, and it was only by the grace of God and a good pair of gauntlets that it hadn’t gone flying out of his grasp already. In short, no matter how much poets and swooning girls seemed to love it, fighting in the rain sucked.

Ugh, NaNo is being like pulling TEETH this year. I'm at the goal so far, but only just barely, and only because I broke down and added author rants early this year. My novel may wind up being, like, 85% author rants.
But yes, we should get together to write. Friday's completely open for me, as is most of Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. I'm also out closer to you on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Let me know what works.

...actually, it might be hilarious if your novel was author rants - a very meta novel about the process of writing a novel. Either way, a word count is a word count, right?
We should! I'm trying not to go out too much until I get over this cold - the last thing I want to do is be Typhoid Mary for everyone, especially this month - but once I'm over that, I'd love to do write-ins. I'm thinking of scheduling a public one at a froyo place around here on Wednesday nights, if you're interested.

XD I keep finding myself writing bits that I know I'll probably just cut if I ever come to post it.
Also it's been raining here all day and I couldn't agree with Terra more. Not that there's been all that many battles, but yeah.

I'm debating posting the first part of mine on FFN already, just to say, THIS IS WHAT I'M WORKING ON AND YOU MAY SEE MORE LATER IF THE WRITING AND EDITING PROCESS DOESN'T KILL ME, HUZZAH, BYE NOW. I kind of let my FFN account idle, so it might be a good idea to let people know I'm still somewhat functional.
Well, if you ever do get the opportunity to fight someone in the rain with a Keyblade, do let me know. It sounds interesting. :Db

Oh god, editing. I'm not sure if I even want to think about that now. But yeah, letting people know you're alive is always a good thing. Is yours AU or normal-verse? (Is there a word for the opposite of AU? Non-AU? U? Something like that.)
I'm not sure the opportunity will come up, but who knows? I'll let you know if it ever does! XD

Are you having trouble thinking of plot things or just putting them into action? Because I will gladly bounce ideas around with you whenever you're free. I will see what I can do about coming after work - usually I need time to decompress before I get going, and that tends to involve a shower and keeling over on the futon like a lazy person. As it is, I'm trying not to go out too much until I get over this cold, since I'd rather not get everyone doing NaNo sick too.
Are you interested in doing any write-ins? Because I know someone's hosting one near me, and I'm going to try to host one on (possibly) Wednesday nights at this nice little froyo place near the apartment.
Also! I'm doing an AIM chat that's probably going to be nightly with other NaNo people. The chat name is oshinano, and we tend to word war and commiserate by turns. You and Matt are both welcome to pop in - I think I'll start it at around 8 tonight.
