Plans

It was about this time last year that I started training for NaNoWriMo. 2,000 words every day, except Sundays. Day of rest ya know.

Anyway, I've been thinking that it's about time I started with that again. Maybe I should plan for JulNoWriMo like I know people do... Anyway, all sorts of things got turned upside down in my head. I've been plotting on Crystal Glare so I can rewrite it, but now I'm thinking that if I wanted to do my other idea for NaNo, I would want to wait until afterwards to write on CG, since I excell at setting stories down and never picking them back up again, or when I do, not remembering what to do, despite my plots.

My brain hasn't been working lately. Usually I'd see the solution instantly. Since Crystal Glare is so long, why don't I do it for NaNo, and this other shorter piece as prep? I don't know what's up with me. My habits ran away, and apparently so did my brain. Anyway, I've set myself a challenge: Even with Sundays off, if I write 2k every day starting the 25th, I should be able to write 116k of story. That should be plenty for what plot I've got right now. So I'm plotting until that day, and then I set off on another insane pre-NaNo journey!
