My NaNoWriMo project is going poorly. I’ve started and quit about three stories so far. I’ve got about 3700 words of crap. Give or take. But I am completely uninspired. Which lead to some random, free form typing. Which is how we got the story of Princess Pancake. In which our heroine goes off in search of a lost library book, her real parents, and breakfast. Princess Gwendolyn, who is told, by her evil eldest brother Prince Assclown, that she is adopted, and not a real princess. The whole thing is fairly surreal, because I was having such a hard time sticking to any one story. I just thought that if I let Princess Gwendolyn do whatever she wanted, I could probably make 50 thousand words. I don’t want to fail, just because I seem I can’t stick to my original idea. Which was a mystery, and something I still want to work on. Especially since I’ve learned so much about poisons. (Although, I had to quit reading about all the evil snake bites, because they were freaking me out. I’m not afraid of snakes, but if I kept reading that section, I’d probably never leave the house. Certainly never go to Africa or the Amazon. eeek.) However, poisons are pretty cool. And just so you know, everything is poisonous. Everything. So don’t eat anything, touch anything, breath in anything, or drink anything. Or let anything bite you, for god’s sake!
My word count is 4,000. I’m woefully behind. I should have at least three times that.

Now from what I hear, you’re usng your paper not for writing but for rollin’ doobies! You’re gonna be doing alot of doobie rolling when you’re living in a van down by the river!
bonjour petits chatons de l’Internet!! what’s up for today, eh? well, many chores. that’s what. some laundry. some kitchen cleaning. some removal of garbage. setting up a forum for fee. she wants a political discussion board. i’m not good at the political discussion, unless you make me angry. so i think i’ll be one of those people who just goes in and gets people riled up. and then sits back and laughs. shhhhh… don’t tell fee. and maybe i’ll do some design updates on the ‘brain while i’m at it.
but mostly, i’m going to outline today. we have three weeks until wrimo and i am so excited i’m about to burst. so i’m going to outline. and i am going to create a graphic for the elitest writers group i have formed with loon. i’ll reveal the name when the graphic is done. so far, there are three of us. loon, blue and me.
but yes, outlining. when i’m done with the outline, fee is going to check it out for me. fee is my editor. although, she shouldn’t expect to edit anything until december. i need to be able to write like no one is reading. i need to not think so much. the thinking comes in december.
re: the search strings. one string that came up, on another log, that probably won’t make it into october’s top 20 is “jodi is an easy fuck.” i kid you not. just yesterday someone searched on that. i’m so proud.
