1.  Take time off work so I can do the whole weekend.  DONE!

2.  Prepay my membership online to avoid that on-site registration line.  DONE!

3.  Repeat - take time off work so I can attend more classes/panels/etc.  ABSO DONE!

4.  Take bottled water and snacks with me so I don't expire.  GOT MY LIST OF GOODIES READY.

5.  Wear a costume!  I love costumes and this would have been a prime time to do it.  I hesitated since I thought I needed an anime/manga type of costume but I saw steam punk, StarTrek, a little bit of everything.  OMG, THE COSTUME'S ALMOST DONE!  I C ]]> http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/NaNoWriMo-done-a-little-early-271580651 http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/NaNoWriMo-done-a-little-early-271580651 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:52:16 PST NaNoWriMo done - a little early nonadult journals/personal shaharw http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/h/shaharw.jpg?4 Copyright 2011-2013 *shaharw
I ran out of story before I ran out of word count.

I'm okay with it though.  If I'd continued on -Life After- it would have pushed it too much.  I'll probably let it ferment for a few months before I even look at it again.  Then, if it's worth it, I'll edit and polish and add and probably subtr ]]> http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/Suddenly-a-shot-rang-out-269506396 http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/Suddenly-a-shot-rang-out-269506396 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:35:43 PST Suddenly, a shot rang out. nonadult journals/personal shaharw http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/h/shaharw.jpg?4 Copyright 2011-2013 *shaharw
Then I fell back on a trope or cliche (not sure which it would fall under).  A one sentence paragraph - Suddenly, a shot rang out.

And suddenly, I have a lot more to write about!  There are people chasing other people.  People rescuing strangers in the alley.  A big, long scene in an emergency room.  And the introduction of another key character.  Yay!  I'm almost caught up with my word count and I have a whole other character to follow around.  And someone I suspect will be ]]> http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/Personal-NaNoWriMo-tip-267457892 http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/Personal-NaNoWriMo-tip-267457892 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:55:12 PDT Personal NaNoWriMo tip nonadult journals/personal shaharw http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/h/shaharw.jpg?4 Copyright 2011-2013 *shaharw
I don't time myself, just head the section ***Word war*** so I can find it easily later and start typing as fast and furiously as I can.  By marking it as a word war I can easily take a look at it later and stick it in a more appropriate place or take it out altogether.

I'm debating.  I did NaNoWriMo last November and also did the Camp NaNoWriMo in July.  Both times were a lot of fun and I ended up with a 50,000 word manuscript at the end of each month.  I even edited the first one and have a few hard copies so someone besides myself could read it.  I'm letting the second manuscript ferment for a while longer before I start picking it apart.

Now I'm trying to decide if I have the time to write 1667 words a day for the month of November.  There are a lot of things going on at work.  I also have a lot of continuing education I ]]> http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/MonsterKookies-Tornado-Relief-260724653 http://shaharw.deviantart.com/journal/MonsterKookies-Tornado-Relief-260724653 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:26:43 PDT MonsterKookies Tornado Relief nonadult journals/personal shaharw http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/h/shaharw.jpg?4 Copyright 2011-2013 *shaharw

I'm an accountant.  I'll see you in April after the audit.

Actually, I'm producing quite a bit right now, only because my sister gave me a Totally Tangled book and the pens, pencils, paper and other stuff to use with it for Christmas.  It suits my mood and my very short attention span.  Thanks, Sis.

It also scans really well, especially since I don't have to worry about color.  Black, white and gray are fairly definitive of my mood anyway.
