I thought I would turn my webcam on while I wrote this afternoon. As you may, or may not, know, the daily average, to reach 50,000 by November 30th is 1667 words.
Wil got up early and did 1741 words. I’m very proud of him. His story is all about how cute I am and how much he loves me. No, it’s not. Although, I am sure it would be trés facile to write 50 thousand words on my cuteness. (Jodi is very very very very very very cute. I love her very very very very much. Because she is cute like the following: a butterfly, a kitten, a puppy, a swan, a dolphin, a baby, a baby bunny, a baby deer, a baby duck, a baby baby, oh did I mention baby already?)
I’m feeling apprehensive about my story because I do not have one yet. I have a feeling that the first 8,000 words might be my main character talking to herself. I might feel more positive had my 2007 NaNoWriMo shirt arrived. It shipped weeks ago. I don’t understand why it has to take SO LONG for items to ship from the States to Canada. We are like thisclose to each other.
Ah, well. I’m stalling. I’ve done dishes, I’ve read every blog known to webkind, I’ve read all my emails, including the junk mail. I turned on the webcam. I guess I’d better just get start.
Jodi, you kill me. It shouldn’t be very hard for you to come up with something. You have a singular sense of humor and a sharp wit. You say things like “we’re like thisclose together,” which is clever and funny without being offensive and base (which describes so much humor these days). And I think you’ll do great. So, good luck.
I haven’t even started. I’ve been moving and unpacking and buying a bed and moving the box spring up a narrow narrow stairwell an inch at a time (my wrist KILLS me today) because my parents will be here TONIGHT. So, I will have to start on Sunday. Or Monday.
Wil’s story sounds awesome (the one about how cute Jodie is).
