Hello Earthlings,
It starts tomorrow! Is it sad that I'm this excited? I am so ready to start the mad literary dash!
I've had to restrain myself from doing too much research right now, just because I was going stir crazy being unable to actually write. But I'm planning to go to bed early tonight so that I can wake up at 4am tomorrow and get started. Woohoo!
Loves!

Must... Resist....
Hello Earthlings,
Aaargh... I'm having such a hard time NOT working on my novel. I have been brainstorming for the last two days pretty much straight (work? what's that?) and I really want to put pen to paper! Or... fingers to... keyboard?
Also, I need some inspiration for aliens. Anyone?
Anyone?
Oh, that's right. It's just me.
Le sigh.

NaNoWriMo 2012
Greetings Earthlings (she said as if anyone read this and it wasn't just a place to organize thoughts),
I decided to start this blog because I have made the probably foolish commitment to do NaNoWriMo this year. If you are not familiar, NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month and the goal is to write a 50k word novel during the month of November. Intrigued? Check it out here: nanowrimo.org
I have a story. Sort of. I have... a setting. I have a concept. It all came from a dream. I won't go into details here, because heaven forbid I post spoilers before I've even started, but basically I have a concept and a very vague, nebulous idea of what I want to do with it. We'll see where it goes from there.
My intention is to post my novel progress each evening before I go to bed. I may even post some thoughts, like this, about the writing process. But come on, who's got time for that when you're doing a Nano?
I welcome your thoughts and comments (if anyone ever decides to read this) but be well forewarned that I won't read or respond to any of them until December. Why? Because I need to dive into my story headfirst and if I read your comments (which I'm sure will be insightful and very helpful) I will have the desire to go back and edit. Editing is not part of Nano. Editing is for December.
We'll see you then,
Jessie May
