OH MY FUCKING GOD!!
Look, look, I'm posting. I'd like to have a good reason for not blogging in so long. Coma, abducted by a pirate who looks just like Johnny Depp, something. But no. I did have computer problems, but I could have still blogged at work, and I could have still blogged at home. I just had to find a 1, q, a, or z to clip and paste every time I needed to type one. Plus if I need a capital letter I had to find one of those, too. Pain in the freaking ass.
Then yesterday The Man proved why is is my God. I was bummed out about trying to gimp 50,000 words without 1s, qs, as, or zs, for a NaNo novel this November, because no way was I going to clip and paste every time I needed one. We tried blowing compressed air into the keyboard, but it didn't help. Then The Man said why don't we just go to the store and get a cordless keyboard to use instead of the one on the laptop.
Works like a charm. It's not spaced out quite the same, so it's taking a little getting used to, but I'm soooo happy. Of course, now I don't feel like really writting anything. Go figure.
The only thing I feel like writing about is NaNo. I'm signed up and ready to go. Have a story all outlined in my brain. The main character is a soldier who gets kicked out because he's gay, and then there's the high school kid who has a crush on him when he moves back home. I tried to get on the NaNo web page, but they were working on it. Getting the kinks out before opening day. That site gets it's ass handed to it on opening day. Whammo, here come the word counts.
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.
But I've got to wait. Can't start writing until midnight November 1st or it's cheating.
Stupid rules.
