For some insane reason, I'm still awake! ;p

I made the mistake of playing more WCIII, and I was playing through the last couple Undead missions, which are rather beastly. I wish I hadn't left my old save file on C's laptop, so I wouldn't have to play through all of the really nasty missions again.

I also tossed up some new LJ icons, because, hey, I had 5 spaces that I wasn't using, and that's just no good at all.

I just realized that I'm almost 35,000 words into my Nano novel, and I haven't even revealed the uber-plot point yet. I thought I'd have done so by now, so I guess I had more material than I thought. Well, even though I definitely *won't* be magically producing 15,000 words between now and midnight tomorrow night tonight, I'll definitely finish this thing off in the coming weeks. I've had "write a novel" on my mental list of Resolutions for the past year or two, so it'd be cool if I actually did it, thanks to Nano. (even if the novel turns out completely awful and never sees the light of day after I finish it ::laughs::)

I have to be at least semi-productive tomorrow: homework, laundry, and attempting to write a perl script. (the latter of which I haven't done in a while) I think I'm just going to run away now while the getting's good.

i have an insane amount of things to do today- so I am debating if I should do them at all

What is this nano novel? In other words, what's the book about?

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Well, in oversimplified terms, it's mainly about the characters involved learning to deal with each other after some fairly unusual stuff happens between them.

Truth is, I started a small outline of different things that I eventually wanted to happen in the story. There's quite a bit of material in between those few landmarks, though, and I just kind of let the story go where it wanted in those areas, so it's going a few places that I didn't expect. Sometimes it seems more like the story's controlling me. ^^;;;

Maybe I'll have a better answer when I'm done?

Hopefully. Not that your answer wasn't sufficient, but I still have no idea what the book is about. :D Keep making updates about it so I can know when it is completed. In return, I will tell you when my book is completed. *note: it hasn't started yet, so don't wait on the edge of your seat.

Heh, maybe I'll tell you about it sometime--I have this habit of being really overprotective of my written work before I'm done with it, hence why I haven't discussed the plot in any real depth yet, in any forum. ^^;
