Some things:
- National Novel Writing Month is speeding right around the corner. I’m pretty excited, because I have the first full week of November off from work, and then plenty of days around Thanksgiving off, so hopefully I’ll be focused enough to buckle down and get good chunks written on those days. I’ve been lurking around the forums since OLL wiped them and put them back up. I keep telling myself to get off the boards and plot, but Bee says she knows me better and I’ll just keep lurking and bitching about the stupid people.
- I recently had a new hard drive put in my laptop, and I lost everything (pictures, music, word documents) so I have about 20 days to rebuild by music database to make appropriate playlists. I know people make playlists that somehow pertain to their novel, but I find it best to make playlists that encourage writing.
- I’m stuck on Module 8 in this TEFL course. I thoroughly dislike grammar, but I feel like I know more than my 10th grade English teacher knew, or ever bothered to teach us. However, I do know that when you learn a foreign language, you need to know the grammar in order to understand reading and to write coherently. I have until Dec. 21 to get it all done, and then I’ll be certified, but man, the grammar is kicking my ass.
- PopCap is offering Bejeweled2 for free until 10:10 PST, so go get it while it lasts. It’s my new favorite thing.
Also, hey to all the new NaNo friends who have stumbled to my blog!
