NaNoWriMo

So, everyone wants to write a novel, right? I guess I do, too, although I have no idea how. But I'm signed up for NaNoWriMo 2008, the National Novel Writing Month. This is thousands of people who sign up to write a 50,000 word novel, starting November 1, in 30 days. No problem, right? That's only 1,666 words a day. Never mind that the last time I wrote several thousand words at once was in college, and those definitely weren't novels, and they weren't anywhere near 50k words.

Anyone got a good plot I can borrow? Because I've got nothing.

I'm off to ponder what to write about.

Not a lot going on right now. I went to the doctor for my three month checkup, and everything was fine. I should feel less stressed now, knowing that, but somehow I'm still worried. But then, I seem to be worried a lot lately, so what's new? Anyway, it's been 15 months that I've been cancer free, so I'm happy about that.

I'm trying to get everything ready to be able to work from home some, but between me procrastinating about it and the fact that I need Dad to come put in my extra phone jack, and then I need to get cable or satellite service, and then I need a TV to put in here next to the computer, it's a little slow. He'll be doing the phone line this weekend, and at least once that's done, I can do some work from home, the shows I don't need to see or wouldn't be able to see anyway.

I'm thinking that next year, I need to take a real vacation, one where I actually go somewhere, and I'm kind of leaning toward a trip to London. I've never been and always wanted to go, and there's no time like the present, right? (Well, not the present right now, but the very near future, anyway.) I don't know anyone who'd be able to go with me, but there's a tour offered by Rick Steves (the travel guy on PBS) that looks intriguing. If I'm going to do that, though, I really need to get back to exercising regularly or I'll never make it through the whole week.

Anyway, it's 1 am and I should really get some sleep, so that's all for now.
