two hours until it all begins

I've been meaning to write this for a while, but somehow just never got around to it. Really I've been meaning to write something--anything--on this blog for quite some time now, but yet again I've been living up to my least favorite part of the title. I think it started a while back with a post I started to write, but couldn't finish for various reasons. Somehow that created a mental block--I told myself I couldn't blog until I finished that post. Silly really.

So anyway, I left it right until the wire, but here's my NaNo pre-blog:

My goal this year is 150k. I fully recognize how crazy that is, especially with how badly I've been dealing with stress lately. I'm still going to try for it, but definitely not beat myself up if I don't make it. The thing is, every year that I do NaNo I further amaze myself with just how much I can do if I'm committed and believe in myself. So I don't want to slow down, or set a more reasonable goal, because what's the fun in reason after you've seen at least one crazy goal through to the end?

Anyway, I'm not staying up through midnight to get a head start on writing like I usually do; I want a good night's sleep, and the opportunity to wake up early and knock out a few thousand words before class. So good night, and sleep well: I'll most likely sprint with you in the morning. :)
