NaNo, NaNo

This is Mork, calling Orson.

No wait, that’s not true. (But does anyone else remember loving Mork & Mindy as a kid? Or am I the only dork who wore rainbow suspenders?)

But I’m not talking about that NaNo, NaNo. I’m talking about NaNoWriMo, which I’m going to shorten to NaNo, even though it’s already short for National Novel Writing Month. Which I’m attempting. Badly.

Why would I take on trying to write 50,000 words of a novel at the same time as starting to exercise, both on top of regular life with a toddler and ttc another one?

Besides that I’m crazy, or maybe as proof of it, I got inspired by my monthly horoscope, which says that any seeds I plant by December 17, 2007, will produce amazing results in my life over the course of 2008.

Of course, that could be full of shit. But even if it is, taking action to be responsible for my health and in pursuit of my dream of being a writer is a good thing. Who cares how I got inspired?

Taurus: “Last month was a difficult month because Mercury was retrograde and that probably caused you many delays, postponements, and mix-ups.”

And here I thought it was difficult because my portfolio was due. And because my car was dead the day I had to be at the airport before dawn for a conference. And because the alarm didn’t go off and I almost missed my presentation session. And because my car was still dead when I got home. Hmmmm… maybe I should blame Mercury after all.

If I do, then I can also accept this: “Ok, now let’s turn to your career, which should show some exceptionally happy developments this month.” Excellent. My orals are on the 14th.

Also, have you heard about NaBloPoMo?
