I’ve got two people presuring me to do NaNoWriMo now. Its starting to really build in my head and more than likely I’m going to do it. I just want to give it a bit more thought before I acutally apply. 50,000 words is a lot to pump out in 30 days. In fact, it’s approximately 1,666 words a day. To keep ahead of the curve, I’d probably have to do 2,000 words a day average so that I could go brain dead on certain days.
It’s a grand coincidence that I dreamt of an intricate plot cross section the other day, and that could be expanded into a 50,000 word “story,” but at the same time, what if it’s an award winning idea and I waste it on literary masturbation. I guess I could always continue to develop and edit after November, but at the same time… Bah, who am I kidding. If I don’t force myself to write, it’s not going to be an award winning anything. I will continue to ponder the possibility and I’ll let you all know if I decide to do it next week. I’m gonna need all your support, encouragement, and constant hounding to do this, but I think I can.
At the very least, I can write 50,000 words of crap.

As I was commenting on my journal elsewhere (in a comment no less), I’ve been remarkably productive today, which lead me to feel that I deserved a donut. Two in fact.
To be honest, I’m still being productive and am taking a short break in my productivity to write this inane text just so you monkeys will know the level of my productivity. I loaded up the web site this morning and started work on a new News Ticker. We had discussed the inclusion of such a thing months ago in pre-production, but it was never implemented. Tired of having a “placeholder” there, I went searching around for such a thing to actually be useful. I found a fairly simple and minute news ticker that serves the purpose about as well as anything could and now am filling it with new for it to tick.
Yesterday, I spent the better part of the morning either working on Mac Laptops or completely reorganizing the desk space that effectively extends my desk space. We live in a cramped office and I am an animal of mass collection, so when I need to work on the afore mentioned laptops or any other number of extra devices, I need a space to put them. I have an El Cheapo desk that sits next-to my regular desk that works as a return that really doesn’t turn at all. But it’s where I hold all the temporary projects so as to not get in the way of my permenant projects. Anyway, I had determined that my space was too small yesterday and decided to clean up, de-clutter and expand. I”m feeling a lot more productive and maybe that’s why I got off my ass so early and started working on this news ticker thing.
Anyway, my scanner, which also found a new home, has scanned the image I need for the current event I’m about to post on the news ticker, so I should get back to being productive. After lunch I’ll maybe talk about some other stuff, or maybe even practice writing. Who knows.

damn I need to do an update… but right now it’s donut time… I’ll try to write something when I get back.
