Nov. 7th, 2017 11:28 amThe maniacal shrieking and cackling as I fling myself headlong and further into this Nanowrimo novel is not diminishing, let me tell you. The nervousness is increasing somewhat, but the shrieking and cackling isn't going away. I feel a bit like I'm on a permanent sugar high despite having decreased my Halloween candy consumption. Unfortunately this sugar high only works for writing. The rest of the time I'm so hyper I want a nap.
I'm also giggling quietly in a corner at the braintwin staring at me as I write on 4 The Words. There's a measurable difference in my output as far as quantity, I don't think much of a drop in quantity, and it's ... well, she's the one most exposed to it.
Another good side effect utterly unrelated to vomiting forth huge quantities of words, though, is that I get done with the drafting faster, leaving much more time for edits and housework. Even if it's not necessarily housework I want to do, last night I got everything done in good time to do everything else plus wipe down the bed (there was a cat vomit incident, we're still on food trials. endless food trials. we're pretty sure it's the dry food but have yet to find a less expensive brand that works, and we're taking him in for an ultrasound later in the week.) and take off the sheets and find new ones that were the right size, as we have a pile of leftover sheets from other family members and no clue which ones fit our bed, and then put them and the comforter on the bed in case of further cat vomit incidents. SO. Nanowrimo might not be as destructive on my house as I thought, I just have to remember not to do a full tear down and house cleaning and just do bits and pieces at once.
Starting with the office. Heh. Yes, still. The garden is less my fault as it's been raining off and on for a few days now.
I'm not sure there's that much else to tell. I've been getting better about morning exercises and doing them consistently, slowly but more so since the show ended. I'm considering submitting more short stories and things for publication because YOLO. Because I can have much more of a YOLO attitude about that than my novels right now. I'm... I don't know. I'm starting to feel more rested. That's a good thing, right?
