NaNoWriMo - Completed!

[kungfuwaynewho]

I finished about 8pm on the 30th.  What with NaNo, work, and a big freelance project I finished this past weekend, I ended up taking a bit of a computer sabbatical.  (I was starting to have back pain from sitting at a computer for pretty much the entire day for two weeks, heh.)  I'm not even at my act one break point from my outline, so I'm not really sure what the structure of this novel is going to end up being, but I'm just going to keep writing and see where I end up. 

Have started working on a new screenplay idea that I'm very excited about.  Doing some research first because it's a period piece, and I like to let the story itself percolate for a bit before I get started; let my subconscious mind do some of the heavy-lifting.  And then I have two screenplays from last year to revise, and maybe a new TV pilot, if I have the time.  (Hahahaha.) 

Anyway, my life is terribly boring right now.  What with work, second work, and writing, my fandom presence is basically nonexistent these days.  I'm not in any active landcomms anymore, and I haven't written fic in months.  Which means this online social sphere is essentially dead.  This is something I'm very sad about, to be honest, but there's not much to be done about it.  Sometimes I think I'd like to drop the second job, but the money is very useful, especially as it's becoming clear that we're probably going to need to buy a new washing machine.  (Sigh.)  Ah well.

CONGRATS, BB!

Don't worry about not being around; livejournal (or at least my corner of it) has reached its absolute low, so it's not like you're missing anything. Now is the perfect time for not being around. That said, please do come back. :P

Good luck with all the writing! I have absolute faith on you.

Hee, thanks! Yeah, I just miss, like, talking to people? I get along with people at work but no one's really into TV/movies, that kind of thing, so there's only so much we can talk about. Ah well.

I think I'm going to give myself the crazy goal of finishing an outline and the first act of this new screenplay by the end of the year!

That I more than understand. It's part of the reason why I'm packing it in and moving to DW--there's just nothing going on anymore. Except for you and maybe one or two other people, nobody has commented on any of my entries in weeks, perhaps months. And since I don't have anyone irl to talk about fiction of any kind with, I need my blogosphere.

Like... the weather? ;)

Very good goal! All my fingers are crossed.
