Wriso-ing

Yesterday marked the start of Nanowrimo. I've toyed with the idea for the past few years, but always knew I'd never actually get around to doing anything. So when I heard of Wrisomifu, I thought, HEY! That sounds like something I could actually DO!

Well guess what. Day one has come and gone, with nary a peep from me. I really AM a mifu!

I miss writing though. It was interesting, just sitting in a cafe (usually Starbucks), armed with my coffee, and my writing materials. That's right, folks. I used to write manually. The old-fashioned way. With a pen and my notebook. That was before I got my laptop. OMG. There was a time I didn't have my laptop.

So anyway. Here I am, writing away.

If I write for 20 minutes, does that count as two days, and thus make up for my lack of writing yesterday? In my rule book, it absolutely does.

Hmm. I write slower than I type, so perhaps I should just revert to using pen/paper. That way, I'll hit 10 minutes a lot faster!

Ok, I do have really important things to talk about (important to me, anyway!), but they're topics for another post(s).

I get the feeling I've used a lot of parentheses in this post alone.

These days, every time I hear or the words "I've got a feeling", or something similar, that damned Black Eyed Peas song starts playing in my head.
Sure, it's a fun song, but not when it's set on loop in your head! Head-songs stuck on loop make me loopy!

Seriously. How do people manage to write for 10 minutes at a go? I can't even make it past 5!!! Oh wait. It's taken me 7 so far to write up to this point.

Actually, I'm able to write for much, much longer than 10 minutes, if the mood strikes. Or when I'm not watching the clock.

Oooh, mozzie just flew by. I say 'flew', but it was more like a float-by. Just taking an evening stroll around my room. What's REALLY sad though, is that despite it going so slowly, I STILL missed it when I tried to swat it.

I'm really really tired. Do I have to do this shit? Oh alright, I know I don't really HAVE to...but eh. I signed up for it, I'm going to keep at it.

Hey! Whaddya know? I've managed to make it past 10 minutes! Ok, I'm going to end this mindless ramble in a few more sentences.

I'm going to shower, then perhaps eat, hang out with the family for a bit...and I'll come back to do post for Day 2.
