The All-Consuming Nature Of ...

Where Jackals Lie. I was talking to a friend about this last night, and finally came to the conclusion that, in the past two or so weeks, I have spent roughly 75% of my waking life thinking about my NaNo novel. Plots, characters, scenarios, locations, extras ... anything and everything pertaining to the project has simply taken over my life. I find it almost impossible to think about anything else.

So, this begs the question; is this kind of behaviour healthy? Is the obsession a good thing? Or have I gone off the deep end already, with more than a month left to go before NaNoWriMo? Am I simply cocooning myself in this fantasy world because I feel as though my life damn well sucks? I don't think I will ever know. It might just be a mix of all these things. Or it might just be, pure and simple, over-excitement at the prospect of NaNo being so soon, and yet so far away.

Unfortunately, I need to think about other things as much as I do NaNo: sorry, novel, but I do have coursework to submit. Or resubmit. And exam re-takes pending. And a lot of other life things [some more pleasant than others, such as Avenged Sevenfold/Stone Sour in October =D] to contend with. I know you need to grow big and strong before November, but so does my college life, sadly. v_v

Here We Go Again ...

In terms of actually, you know, doing NaNoWriMo. Blogging? Not so sure. Of course, given my timeframe, and the amount I actually plan on writing this year, opportunities to visit this place may become few and far between. However, it is just as likely that I will get frustrated with myself at some point during this month as resort to posting here in avid frustration.


But hey, I've already [forcibly] had to create a blog for Media Studies, not that I'm complaining, because it is rather enjoyable. And I've started up a somewhat unattended general blog, because my Tumblr kind of died. Well, I let it die because I forgot about it. You know how it goes.


So, um ... welcome to this place? I hope you find your stay enjoyable, hot and cold beverages can be found to in the cabinet [wut?] to your left, and ... oh, right, yeah. Well, this will be home to ramblings about characters, about how my plot probably will not be going the way I intended, is this too graphic? Is this not graphic enough? Will I ever be published with this content, or will it be banned upon every single attempt? That kind of thing. Because my brain has a habit of not wanting to tone things down ... gosh darn it.

Basically, hi, hope I don't scare you all too much, enjoy. xD
