Small updates

We'll be off to Alabama for the weekend to celebrate Grampa's life and mourn his passing with his whole, extended family. Sad trip.

I'll be absent from the debut of Elements at First Friday tonight. I'm really bummed about that; however, I know they are going to be GREAT! If you live around here and read this in time, please go see them in front of Two Broads on Broad tonight at 7PM.

I had blogged previously about NaNoWriMo this year. I had pretty much decided to do it, then all of the sudden, life hit. Being away from my computer for four days is disastrous in NaNoWriMo land, and I'm just too stressed out to concentrate. I would have overcommitted myself with NaNo, so I'll shelve the plotline I have in my head until next year.

Ugh, I'm sort of crappy to be around today, so I'll close and write on a happier day.

To Nano or not to Nano...

That truly is the question. Though I participated in NaNoWriMo last year, and truly enjoyed the writing and comraderie that came along with it, I feel guilty taking up any other fun stuff up when I don't have a job. I want to do it, and I already have a bit of a plotline and character sketch going, along with the requisite research. It seems I can't write a story without fact-checking, symbolism and general not-seen-by-the-reader nerdiness. I just have to know the place I'm coming from completely, even if it doesn't make it into the story.

So, will I or won't I? Hmm.....
