My Own NaNoWriMo

Really fast, cuz I wanna go play Sims 2 with limited free time: I didn't end up finishing... or really doing much of NaNoWriMo due to many many circumstances but largely because of depression. I feel like I am coming out of it now and really want to finish NaNo. SO, I have decided to have my OWN National Novel Writing Month in January! Brandon and I were laughing about how strange it is to have NaNo in November when it seems the holiday season is just picking up and the sickness season is beginning and everyone is busy. And why on earth do they not have it in a more boring month, like, say, January or March or really almost any month in the beginning of the year?!

I was going to do it in December but realized I wanted to relax and enjoy my Christmas without the stress. So January it is. I'll try to keep a running word count on here. A little disappointed... or a lot.... that I didn't get the award screen and possibly even t-shirt from finishing in November.... but oh well. Anywho, hope it works in a month.

Critters

I am thinking it is time for a pet! Bowen is at an age that he knows when to be gentle and listens to my instructions pretty well. Winter is coming and we are going to be cooped up indoors, in need of some extra fun and activity. He has been asking sweetly for a puppy dog for a long time, but we can't get one for many reasons. Most importantly, I don't want to coop up a dog, too. Most need lots of room to move, run, explore, and we can't offer that in a little apartment. Also, as I mentioned, winter is coming, and we would have to walk it outside in the cold alllll the time. Especially to let it go potty. I have heard you can litter box train dogs, but I think with a toddler who I am already trying to potty train I don't want to be doing the same for another living thing!


So, I have read a few articles and thought about solutions and have concluded we may get a guinea pig or a rat! Both are very friendly, become loyal and loving to their owners, like to be held and petted, don't usually bite unless provoked (unlike hamsters and gerbils), and are appropriately small for the size of our living quarters. A few drawbacks: cleaning cages when I have a lot to clean already, buying cages, toys, food, etc., rats are highly social and need other ratty companions which would require buying more than one, need to rat/guinea pig-proof the areas of the house we are going to play in, space needed for cage in already cramped quarters, eventual death of said pet resulting in toddler sadness.


Anywho, thoughts are much appreciated if anyone has anything to add! I really want a pet because they bring so much joy! I know Bowen and I would have fun with some small furry creatures!!! I think, first, though, I might take Bowen to the pet store and see if he can really handle it well.

If...

I would love to be a professional dancer; a serious, multi-style, classically trained dancer... and I may have possibly pursued this dream.......

.....if I did not have boobs the size of Alaska!!!!

LOL!

Ggggggggggggah!

I am wimping out. Big time.

I feel like I have some huge invisible wall standing between me and my ability to just open up my damn word document and write my NaNoWriMo novel. I have 4,000 words. I already started. Why can't I write any more?! Why the crap don't I believe I can do it?!?! I have half the story mapped out! What is wrong with me?!?!?!?!

Is it really that I am tired? Because I am, all the time, all year round. I can't remember the last time I regularly got enough sleep. That shouldn't stop me.

Is it that I am so starved for free time that I view even my recreational writing as work now?! Am I so socially isolated that the few hours of surfing the interwebs makes me feel more connected and when I don't get even that I feel completely locked inside my own head? Especially when my free time in spent in an even more introspective, self-contained, imaginary world???

I think..... yes, yes to some degree to all of this. And so many more stupid things getting in my way. I gotta do it. Even if I don't make the 50,000 word goal.
