Look! NaNoWriMo approacheth!
Oct. 28th, 2007 10:20 pmBut first: miscellanea.
Right now my cheeks are tingling unpleasantly. This would alarm me, except that I know it's a side effect of a medication I started taking a few weeks ago -- skin sensations, like pins-and-needles or tingling, that don't have any actual explanation (in case you ever need to know, this effect is called paresthesia; also, it is really annoying). I've almost exclusively gotten pins-and-needles feelings in my fingertips. The cheeks-tingling is new. In short: shut up, medication.
I started working at an after-school tutoring center; did I mention that? On Thursday I got to tutor Batman in math. (He was so much better-behaved than usual that I thought about sending a note home to his parents. "Dear Parents: Please send [kid] in his Batman costume every day.")
The other night I had an elaborately staged dream in which I appeared in Pride & Prejudice: The Musical Extravaganza (mostly recognizable as Pride and Prejudice, although for added excitement Mrs. Bennett had been accused of murder). I was mildly disappointed, when I woke up and thought about it a little more clear-headedly, to realize that I had been playing Mary.
Um... I seem to have run out of miscellanea.
I'm trying to convince my mom that she should do NaNoWriMo this year. She should really do Script Frenzy -- her interest lies more toward writing screenplays -- but that isn't until June, and I like the idea of doing NaNoWriMo as a Group Activity with her. (And I'm thinking about doing Script Frenzy myself, too.)
It's taken me a while sorting out the various Ooh, Hey, That Would Be A Neat Story business floating about in my head, but I've figured out where my NaNo novel is actually going this year. I am hesitant to give too much away, not least because then people might ask detail-oriented questions and I'll be woefully unable to answer them, but in general: Boys' Adventure Story! Accidental Time Travel! Pirate Who Has Sold His Soul To Satan! &c.!
