I'm not doing so well on the NaNoWriMo novel. I got pretty close to 2000 words on my first day. I haven't written an additional word since. I'm trying to concentrate on not kicking myself too much about it. I'll give up if I do. However, I have been posting a lot (for me) on alt.poly and sfbay-poly. Which I guess is a good thing.

I'm not sure what I'm doing with this Livejournal these days. Any suggestions? Anything anybody want to ask me? Anything anybody wants to never hear about again?

What are you dreaming these days? (Feel free to take that literally or figuratively)

Good luck!

One of the few things I worry about with NaNoWriMo is the potential for disappointment/self-kickitude. Remember that it's supposed to be fun! And if it's not, don't do it.

That said, good luck!

1) NaNoWriMo: Please to bear in mind that 50,000 words for you is a lot more work than 50,000 words for the average AB, and rate yourself accordingly.

2) LiveJournal: There are dozens if not hundreds of things I want to hear from you. I like kightp's question. I'd like to hear you talk about movies and music, since you know so much about both. I'd like to see you make some lists (movies, music, people who influence you, things that matter to you). I'd like you to share some of your insights on disability and disability politics. I'd like to know what you're writing about on alt.poly and sf-bay.poly without having to read those groups .

Oh, and I'd also like you not to feel that you have to do any of those things.

*hugs*

NaNo is by definition a difficult thing to do. I started last year, and didn't finish. For a bit, I felt bad about that, but it's a voluntary thing, and there's no shame in going slowly or not at all. (That said, you and I are going to do our best to finish, so there. :-)

You find this hard to believe, I know you do, but I am interested in everything you have to say. Everything. So post about movies or your day or your activism efforts or whatever. Hell, make this journal into a blog on the latest gossip about gimps and fatchicks having sex. Whatever you write, I'm interested in seeing it.

Love you.

Thanks Greg, I'll take all the good luck I can get.

Except for a few short-lived jobs here and there, I've never really worked for pay. I think that I often put my volunteer work and some of my recreational activities into the "job" box in my head. I wonder if I put too much pressure on myself to complete my job, thus squeezing any entertainment value out of activities that are supposed to be fun? I need to think about that some.

Thanks for the question. I think I will make it an entry in my journal rather than just reply to you.
