I know I said I'd write something about Terry Prachett's The Light Fantastic, but... eh, fuck that noise. It's a great book, you should go read it, I'm sorry I can't give you more than that. YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO TRUST ME WHEN I SAY IT'S A GREAT FUCKING BOOK GO READ IT. READ IT NOW. And besides the fact that since making my last post I've also read and finished Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw, which is also quite excellent (you will probably hate it if you are a vegan/vegetarian don't like Bourdain yelling at you, however). Instead of talking at length about either, I've decided to tell you all (hahaha, right) some very important news.
In an effort to push myself to actually write shit, I've entered myself in the crazy national contest of legend, NaNoWriMo. Or that fucking contest where you try to plug out a 100k (their official count is 50k, which is a novella, actually) novel in one month, that month being November 1-30th. I haven't been getting on my ass about writing much of anything for my novel as of late, so I figured this would be a good way for me to just put off writing for the next half-month or so, finish my outlines, and prep to PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL and actually write actual words and dialog! HOLY SHIT WHAT A CONCEPT.
I'll try to update my word-count here whenever I update.
