I signed up for NaNoWriMo.

I'm insane. But then again, I used to work well with deadlines, back when I believed myself capable of Doing Things.

So, maybe this will help. I'm also thinking about getting a livejournal for my NaNoWriMo novel, after seeing others do that. It seems like a smart idea.

NaNoWriMo journal

So, I started one. The name is very, very... well, easy to remember.

Because I feel like sharing.

These are my icons for diana_nanowrimo.



I'll probably only be using 'planning' until November 1st, when 'writing' will probably take over. And 'revising' probably won't make any appearances until later in November.

But it's nice to have it all sorted out.

Shakespeare Sonnet LXXXV

My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still,
While comments of your praise, richly compiled,
Reserve their character with golden quill
And precious phrase by all the Muses filed.
I think good thoughts whilst other write good words,
And like unletter'd clerk still cry 'Amen'
To every hymn that able spirit affords
In polish'd form of well-refined pen.
Hearing you praised, I say ''Tis so, 'tis true,'
And to the most of praise add something more;
But that is in my thought, whose love to you,
Though words come hindmost, holds his rank before.
Then others for the breath of words respect,
Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.

So. Andromeda starts at 8.

Two hours, roughly.

I really don't expect much. I want some Harper/Dylan interaction, but let's face it, when it comes to my pairings, I'll take five seconds in an episode and call it quality time.

Buffy has really been giving me way more Buffy/Xander than I'm used to. If they're not careful, I'll die of happiness before the season ends.

I think it was Fox who once said, "Buffy could kill Xander and you'd talk about how it proves their love." Which, for the record, I actually have done, based on Wishworld. They had a lot of passion killing in that episode. Oz offs Willow. Willow and Xander do Cordelia. Xander gets Angel. And Buffy kills Xander. It's intimate.

GLP (gratuitous lyrics post)

I'm going to ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call,
Well, it's only then
I might pull in the reins

Whee!

( If the Wheel is Fixed (Andromeda, Season Three premiere )

All in all, I was very pleased.

Ooo. In other news, my mom got me a shiny dark green shirt. It's purdy.

(no subject)

On occasion, I wonder if the episode I'm watching is somehow a different one than the one everyone else saw. Right now, I'm having that feeling about If the Wheel is Fixed, which was enjoyable and made sense to me. But apparently not to anyone else. Very odd.
