Gave lawn its autumn haircut. Laundry is churning. Cabinet pixies are washing dishes. Trixie K's "napping". Time to write. #nanowrimo #
After a productive-but-not-writey day, sat down and knocked out one scene that mugged today's word count. Rawr. #amwriting #nanowrimo #

Pure bowling victory tonight & got half a scene written beforehand. (That's right, writing IN A BOWLING ALLEY.) #nanowrimo #nerdcore #
Me: Guys, can we move things along? / Characters: We are. / Me: But, the outline… / Characters: Shush. Grown-ups are talking. #nanowrimo #
Me: Not fair, *I'm* the writer. / Characters: Whatever lets you sleep. / Me: hate you… / Characters: What? / Me: Nuthin'. #nanowrimo #
The words came hard tonight, but they came, every last one of em, and about seven extra. Now, bed. #nanowrimo #amsleeping #
Holyfuckingooowwwwwwwwwwww. My back, you guys. Seriously. #
Pretty happy with today's #nanowrimo blog post. Less happy with today's actual nanowrimo writing, due to its nonexistingness. #
Got a small cushion on the #nanowrimo stuff. And @daphneun is home. AND my protags are somewhere in the vicinity of my outline. Sleep time. #
Before sleep, a dirty secret: I was in my 30s before I learned you didn't pronounce anathema "ana-THEME-ah". #ilearnedwordsbyreadingstuff #

Tonight's class was the big finale – students each got up and gave talks on their passion – It. was. awesome. So proud right now, you guys. #

Reading @maureenjohnson's excellent Week Two #nanowrimo pep talk email. Chlamydia koalas… now I'm hungry. #
Going to try to do #scifichat today, but I have a NaNo post to write… and… you know… a topic to think up. #
#scifichat I think alien settings are best with subtle differences that unpack into something more profound the more you consider them. #
#scifi I think 'believable' alien settings come back to the 'human' factor: parents loving offspring, for example. #
#scifichat I suppose mixing those two elements is what makes the alien 'alien' – the bits of us we recognize, and the bits that feel WRONG. #
You know, I have a lot of pictures of people being punched in the junk. Another debut in new #nanowrimo post: http://bit.ly/3lEhAX #
Minor thing: I really don't like the Twitter login page, with that dropdown login-box thing. At all. Moving on. #

Hrm. Occurs to me that I may not have a topic for todays #nanowrimo post. Anyone have something they're thinking/worried about? #
Every time I switch to the fairytale inside my #nanowrimo story, I wonder if I'm writing the wrong book – these bits are so EASY. #amwriting #
