« For a hundred years I offered ugly death to everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart. | Main | 50 Word Fiction Fridays Vol. 35 »

If the snow on the roof is too heavy, you see, the ceiling will cave in. His brains are in terrible danger.

As you might have guessed, I did not complete NaNoWriMo this year. That made me sad. The first two years I participated, I completed it. And it felt great! But whatever it is that I need, in order to finish, I didn't have this time. That's why I was so delighted when Lara made this:

A NaNoWriMo losing badge! Now those of us who couldn't quite make it across the finish line and stick it to the running dude with his pencil! Right in the guts! Don't get me wrong, I love the NaNo, I donated money and bought t-shirts, same as every year. And I'll be back next year, raring to go. It really can be the most fun.

Also, it should be noted that Lara has started a new site called FreeWiFiCafes which you should all check out. She has a really good excuse for being a loser. A NaNo loser! Not a general overall loser. Which she's not. She climbs mountains for pete's sake. Big ones. In Africa and shit.

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Christine, for finishing her novel. Way to go, xtine! You rule! Whoop! Whoop!

And finally, let it be known that it is SNOWING at my house! Hooray! It became more and more difficult not to watch the traffic cams, as the snow started to fall this afternoon. It was not sticking in Seattle, where I work. But it's sticking at my house. I might be working from home tomorrow. In my jammies. If so, you can all watch me do it on my webcam! Oh my god, how exciting would that be? So exciting. I look like this, while I work. A lot. Over and over. All day.

Well, I first heard about NaNoWriMo from your blog, so thank you thank you, I had an amazing month and just about finished! I'm so happy! And it's all thanks to you (ish)...

Thank you Jodi! I personally could not have finished without you around to cheer me on. Maybe your role in Nano this year was more of a support team/enabler sort of thing. :-)

oooh! i was going to make a loser badge just like that! (though i'm sure mine wouldn't have looked nearly as good.) can i steal it? i promise to display it with pride! because i'm a big fat loser this year. but at least i tried. and that's the other half of the battle that GI Joe never talks about. :)

Are you saying you had some bay-effect snow bands at your place? Poor old spiders.

fuck the spiders!!
