I Might Be Nuts.
I did something crazy yesterday. Before you jump to conclusions (and I know some of you who will!), I did not get Dumbledore's face tramp stamped to my back. Instead, in a sleep-deprived, study-crazy, crack-addled(jk) fit of madness, I signed up for NaNoWriMo. November is National Novel Writing Month...and as of last night, I'm doing it!
I realize it's a big commitment, but hey, they don't even judge me (though you guys probably will) if I don't finish the 50,000 words (yeah, that's 1667/day...about 3 pages)! I've always got weird stories going on in my head anyway, so I figured, to hell with college biology classes and midterms! I'm going to write fiction! They also don't expect it to be any kind of quality work. You know what that means? I could almost literally ramble 50,000 words, and few would judge me! Well, I would judge me...which is exactly why I have a plot developing (slowly...) in my head. It was all I could do to pay attention to the exams in front of me today.
If my writing space looked half as nice as this, I probably wouldn't get anything remotely productive done in it.
I will, hopefully, keep you guys updated on my progress, but I'm sort of shy about my stories. I'll be trying to fix that. Wish me luck!

Holy crap, you're crazy. And good luck.
