• Me: Not fair, *I'm* the writer. / Characters: Whatever lets you sleep. / Me: hate you… / Characters: What? / Me: Nuthin'. #nanowrimo #

• 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. #

• 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 #
