I feel vaguely as though I'm letting the side down by not attempting Nano this year, but I've seldom in my life felt less fictive than I do right now. I'm not even using my idle-time braincycles to tell myself stories very much any more; they seem to be going into beading and the current wardrobe-renewal exercise instead.

I do have a plan, though. I have nearly enough un-blogged books read this year to do a mini-bookpost every day in November, and by the end of the month there should be even more. So I'll try to do that, if the travel mid-month doesn't interfere too much.

At this point, I'm accepting that I'm not going to finish my 50,000 words in 30 days. On my showing so far, I can average a bit over 1000 words a day over normal life, but that's a strain and includes weekend days when I do little else useful. So I'm at about 27K now, and even though I'm on vacation there are too many other things I need to do. I'm not giving up entirely on the story, but I don't expect to be a Nanowrimo winner this year unless something unprecedented happens.

So I went to bed at a semi-reasonable hour last night, and this morning my right eyelid isn't twitching, for the first time this month. Next up; wash my hair and head out to the mall to see about my glasses and watch battery.

but I've signed up (under the same username). And cleaned the apartment in preparation.
