Bla bla...

I beg pardon for somewhat abandoning this blog, and also from ignoring a few well-meant messages from friends asking if I’ll update soon enough. The past week had been rather eventful, though I believe I shall blog about it when I feel that I should.

I haven’t been purposely ignoring my blog entirely, because I had been somewhat occupied by typing down my Nanowrimo novel; something which I had neglected to inform due to a few circumstances (mostly involving the thing we call laziness). There’s supposedly a participant icon at my sidebar symbolising my, well, participation, but apparently the HTML is screwed. Perhaps I should consider putting it in place of my picture instead.

Progress is extremely slow, in case you’re wondering. I’ve only done 3000 words in 5 days, which I blame it on a strew of things that somehow got in the way (like cleaning out my room… geez, leave me in peace), and there’s also that time when I discovered that I was typing without direction + care and thus causing the damn thing to sound idiotic (it still sounds so, only severely less). So I retyped the whole thing, and now i'm twice slower than the average participant.

Still, I am glad to say that I’ve been having a great deal of fun with it. Nothing beats a good run of uninterrupted, inspired typing/writing (that is if I don’t count in eating, and also a great sleep after a long long day). The novel’s pretty rough, and I am doing it impromptu with barely some planning… only the basic plot’s fleshed out, and no other characters planned apart from my lead and his mother. I read back a few lines earlier and it gave me shudders. No time for editing, by the way.

I’m ‘bout one of 102 people in Malaysia participating in it, and most of them already have great progress. 24 more days and 47000 words left… my future seem doubtful.

I guess I’ll crash in earlier tonight, probably waking up to see if I can make some progress. And I don’t want brother to occupy the whole mattress… our new double-decked bed is coming on Tuesday, so on the meantime we’ll be sleeping on the floor. And we’ll have to share a mattress. Shit.

Goodnight people.
