EYEHEARTZOMBIES

So, as Elaine pointed out and Max noted I finished my NaNoWriMo novel.

Wow, I think that’s the most links I’ve ever put in one paragraph.

Yes, I finished it around 11:30 p.m. on the night of November 30th. In other words, the last fucking minute. I didn’t think I could do it. I really didn’t. But Max and Elaine both thought I wasn’t insane when I suggested “Maybe I’ll try and write 24,000 words in two days.”

I know who’s fault it was. It was mine. I had told Elaine about the people that decided to do NaNoWriMo in a weekend. Max and I had both seen the people who did NaNo in a week. We all thought it was crazy. It was. It is. But I did it, too.

Max and I aren’t alone, though. 6,000 other crazy people sat down and wrote their short novels, too. I think that the 6,000 winners this year is more people than even entered the first year it was an organized event (1999). That’s amazing for a free-to-participate activity like this. There were thousands of people all over the world working on NaNo this year.

But I don’t want to spend the whole post talking about the past. This weekend is John’s birthday. We’re gonna go rollerskating and eat Japanese food. Can’t beat a combination like that!

I think I’m going to finally finish this update of eyeheartzombies. I never finished all of the sections, and I want to integrate del.icio.us into the site somehow, maybe attaching a day’s links to a post somehow. I dunno, I’ll have to look into it.

Speaking of redesign, though. I could use some help. If you have any interesting pictures of notecards or notepaper, send ‘em to me. Like notepads with cartoons and sayings on them, or old checkout cards from a library. Something like that. Even if it has writing on it/it’s used.

Oh, and one last link. This web site is oddly addictive. It’s worse than clientcopia (which I’d have you note I had linked before all the “cool people” did. I’m followed, I tell ya). So be careful. Here’s group hug
