To Whom It May or May Not Concern:
Nov. 1st, 2006 11:10 amOkay, so this is just a heads up that I will not be the most responsive blogger on the face of the planet (I say as if I didn’t have an average of five posts a month) for the next month because I have decided to risk NaNoWriMo this year:

I wanted to do it last year, but wasn’t sure I would have the time while job hunting. Of course, I’m still job hunting, but since I think my current job is slowly sucking the soul from out my eyes, or possibly my nose, I’m going to risk it. I haven’t written as much recently because my mind has not felt nearly as sharp as it did back when I was in school and enjoyed myself a lot more than I do at my rather dull job. So, while I don’t expect to actually finish 50,000 words, I hope to use this as a jump-start to my creative life.
Now, I know you’re thinking, “Ellie (or possibly not ‘Ellie,’ as none of you call me by the nickname in my head, as you are not, in fact, me), that’s like jumping off a bridge into a raging, river littered with ice shards because your coat sleeve has caught fire.” And you’re probably right. But since I don’t know the real-life equivalent of metaphorically ripping off my coat and stomping on it for a bit, this is what I’m doing.
Love ya,
Eva Noel
PS: I will still be writing the annual Christmas Music Rant when that first foolish person dares to play Christmas music in my presence before the 1st of December.
