Well, That Didn’t Work
No site update. Turns out life tends to get in the way of the internet sometimes. I have had ZERO time to work on the site and when I could find minute moments my cable would go out or the modem would get stomped on or . . .well, imagine all the horrible things that could possibly go wrong and they did. Anyway, there are good things ahead.
November is NaNoWriMo as you all very well know. This thing has been a splinter in my pinky (like a thorn in my side, put less deadly) for years now. I have had a novel surging around in me for the last 10 years, and this year I intend to finish it. During NaNoWriMo. I mean, it is practically done already. All I really have to do is take my thousands of notes and collect them all in one place. And in sentences and paragraphs and actual pages.
I'd like to be finished with the first REAL draft by my birthday, on December 4. Since I am going to have to do a massive amount of writing (/typing) anyway, I figure I might as well do a DAILY POST as well. Mind you I've attempted such a thing before, but this year I am SUPER-DUPER determined. I will write, and if I'm writing a few thousand words a day anyway I might as well drop by here and leave a few lines.
The posts will probably be short. They'll probably be mostly about my progress through NaNoWriMo -- word count, story progression and such. Hopefully, the two things will support one another. Needing to write will make me blog and blogging will remind me to write, or vice versa.
As far as any other sort of updating of the site goes, I will refer you to my assertion that I will make no promises. Things happen when they will. This seems truer in my life lately than ever before. We will travel, slowly forward, finally reaching some distant destination, we know not where or when.
So, look forward to daily updates starting November 1 and we'll see how it goes.
So long for now.
Well, Hell!
I'm back. It's been a long few weeks. My internet has been down -- A LOT -- and there have been more hardware problems. I'm barely keeping this thing together. I still need to do more, but my personal life is also a big screaming mess right now -- no details, suffice it to say that my life sucks right now.
I've played some Minecraft along, but lost two of my main saves during a long string of hardware difficulties and haven't felt like staying on long enough to even transfer files. (20 minutes and my computer tends to blow up. Not literally, but I do often smell wire smoke.)
I am trying to do some website -- er, um, composing(?) and I will try to have at least a rough draft of the new main site linked up and ready by mid month. Until then I'll add sporadic posts here and plenty of Random non-reply stuff over at twitter
Goodbye, for now.
