all of my ex-lovers are now critics or reviewers of one kind or another.

//most of them, anyway./

odd symmetry & synchronicity, that.

you can never quarantine the past.

Black Christmas (1974) always makes me remember you.

I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year.

For those of you who are not familiar, NaNoWriMo is when someone commits to the crazy idea of writing a novel from start to finish in one month. The goal is 50,000 words in the thirty days of November.

I’ve attempted this so many times in the past and I have never quite made it through. Years when I was in school, November was a horrible time to attempt to write anything but the 930483048039 papers that were due. Other years (& sometimes those years as well), I would wind up in some horrible, gut-wrenching and heart-crushing fight(s) with my significant (or insignificant, as the case may be) other, leaving me too emotionally drained to even think about writing.

In any case, I look forward to the insanity that it will bring. As though the stress of completing horroctober wasn’t enough, here comes another month-long commitment right on its heels!

& hey, if you want to be novel writing buddies with me, look for jessrawk (of course) on the NaNo site.
