oh, they're coming

well that's it then. i've done it now. i've signed up to do nanowrimo again. me oh my: 50,000 words in 30 days. i don't want to think about it too much yet; i don't want to overplan. i have 3 characters starting to walk around in my head. one of them is featured in a short thing i started the other day; she will be a relatively minor character (i think) in the november thing. she's an arnp who recently survived a brutal attack and, in the thing i'm writing now, she's about to steal a book. that's all i'm giving away right now.

jury duty starts 2 days before, and while at the moment i'm hoping i am selected, i don't know what the experience will do to my writing. i don't know if it will give me more or less time - well, actually, more time in the mornings because i don't think i'll have to be there before 8:30 and these days i start working at 7. depending on the type of case and perhaps on my co-jurors, the content of the story could be affected. which is, of course, okay.

heck, i might not even get selected. it might be a one-day thing, over before november even starts.

busy times between now and then. this saturday we're going to seattle to hang out a while on our own and then visit with janeane garofalo and friends. a week from today e o wilson is in seattle. in a couple weeks we'll probably head back to seattle to see these dead athletes. toward the end of the month, on the 26th, my sister is coming to town for a conference and i'll spend a night and a day with her, yes, again in seattle. and on 11/1/2006, the first day of nanowrimo and my presumptive third day on the jury, we're going to see stephen king - i'll give you 3 guesses where.
