Radio Silence

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been pretty exhausted. The first week of November was killer. So much crap went down. I felt like I was barely keeping afloat for a while there, but I already said that in my last (mini) post. I'm WAY behind in my word count for NaNoWriMo (which is why I'll be keeping this short), but I think I can catch up still. I've got school work to worry about, and work-work taking up time, not to mention World of Warcraft...

Gotta prioritize, though.

(As an aside, my tauren druid is now level 42. I'm so excited! That's the highest I've ever gotten! ...uh-oh. I'm gonna have to shell out for Wrath of the Lich King soon, at this rate. And Cataclysm is on the way...gee, I wish I had more money.)

Back to more pressing matters. I.E. NaNo. Oh, it was a rocky start, but now that the boulder is rolling, it's really picking up speed. I think I might just make it this year. Last year, a family crisis destroyed me about half-way through the month and effectively ended NaNoWriMo for me. This year, the same sort of thing threatened, but it's blown over (for the most part). Week One is a wash (4100 out of 11669 words), but all is not yet lost. I'm back on track and my characters are clamoring to be heard. All I need to do now is get out of the way and let the story out.

Well, don't expect much noise outta me for the rest of the month. Between all of my responsibilities and obligations, I barely have time to catch a couple hours of sleep, much less update my blog. But there is a saying that comes to mind at times like this...

(Never mind that I sorta just made it up.)

If you have time to breathe, you have time to write.

Happy noveling, Wrimos.
