		<description><![CDATA[Well, it's Day 2 of NaNo, and so far I'm going strong. I didn't make it to my area's write-in Sunday. I went home to WI instead, but I still managed to meet my 2,500 word goal for Sunday. I'm thinking maybe the write-ins wouldn't actually help my writing that much. I tend to need to just park in front of the computer with the novel's playlist on loop and ignore the outside world. Yes, I make a tailored playlist for each novel I write. I've had the one for NaNo 09 since mid-October.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd still like to go to a meet-up or write-in this year. Just to meet other writers in my area. "Make a Friend" is on this year's to-do list and time is a-runnin' out.<br /><br />In writing news, I already had an I-Hate-My-Writing-Style relapse, but it passed. I'm trying really hard not to backtrack for any reason, because once I start reading back what I've written, I get sucked into editing mode and my creative side flounces off in a huff.<br /><br />I say "trying" because I sort of already did. But with good reason. I needed to change a scene's setting to make sense with something new I was writing. And it ended up netting me more words and clearing up a block. So. Doesn't count.<br /><br />I've been lurking over at <span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_nanowrimo'><a href='http://community.livejournal.com/nanowrimo/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif' alt='[info]' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;padding-right: 1px' /></a><a href='http://community.livejournal.com/nanowrimo/'><b>nanowrimo</b></a></span> and they have these daily excerpt posts where you can add what you've written for the day. I'm thinking of posting Chapter 1 of my novel. Just for the lulz. Or I guess I could just post it here. <br /><br />I don't know. I'm oscillating between "Hate it!" and "Eh, it's not so bad...." so it all depends on what mood I'm in.<br /><br />Oh, and I'm dusting off the ol' Writing Progress box. Good to have you back, buddy:<br /><div><font size="4"><b>Writing Progress:</b></font><br /><b>Title: </b>Unintended Necromancy (Still not sure if I hate that title or not....)<br /><b>Words: </b>5,908 of 50,000<br /><b>Progress Today: </b>3,060 of 2,000</div>]]></description>
