Discuss Amongst Yourselves - Monday, November 7th

How far behind do I have to be to finally give up on this whole NaNoWriMo nonsense? (I'm currently running a 3,500 word deficit.)

You gave it a good college try!

Let it go! and get back to:

A) blogging (aka the avenue to true fulfillment for writers everywhere),

B) drinking adult beverages,

C) explaining to outsiders why it is that you and Jorge aren't married, but will be when it's finally legal,

D) watching old-timey movies and writing about them on wednesdays,

E) posing for solo pictures and passing them off as "mistakes."

That's why we love you. Not because of any contest or payment (which should be made in American currency and which is LATE, by the way).

Meh. I'm about 6000 words behind, but I'm not calling it quits just yet. I need to know what's going to happen next!

Re: (C) -- are we legalizing polygamy in Canada now? You & Jorge (and Sarah & Tanya) should consider moving to Bountiful, BC!

3500 is only a good day worth of writing. You just need to pull an all-nighter and a few cans of redbull. Wait, you're not too old for that now, are you?

Give up and I will hunt you down and throw rotten bananas at you.

I can't stop this thing, and I'm running a way larger deficit than you are.

I just miss your comments on my blog. That's all. It's a selfish thing.

Never give up! You never know, you might have a burst of words at the last second. If you're like me, you work best under pressure. This is the time when you will write your best stuff!

Always give up as soon as it occurs to you to do so. This is the key to spiritual integration and fiscal EXPLOSION!

Wow.
Kris misses you commenting on her blog.

After all this time of dissing you the truth comes out.

You really ARE loved by everyone.

But..
DON'T GIVE UP.

Bastard.

What was I saying about not giving up? For the love of God, I am writing about a conversation in a pub now.

Jesus H...
This is not going well...
BAH!

Still 3500 words in the hole...

Kris: Thanks for pointing out the important things in life. I will get back to all these soon enough. Outstanding new picture, by the way. But why are you drinking wine in a boardroom?

Rebecca: You a rock star. As long as you're keeping on, I'm keeping on.

Beth: What kind of ploy is this? We move out there are you come over to McGill? You no likey?

Jay: You've been burning my ass for days now. Why so mean?

Jorge: If you quit now, it makes it all the more easier for me to quit. Be a good man and do the right thing.

Everyone else: Word.

Dave, of course me likey! I was just kidding about you moving to Bountiful... while they'd be in favour of your & Jorge's polygamy, I don't think that gay polygamy would go over too well =)

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.
