kageotogiI feel as though I'm going to be horribly busy terribly soon, but I'm really not. What I'm probably doing, really, is combining all my weekend plans for, like, ever into one weekend, which will only confuse me in the long run. (In other words, I need a better method of organization. Oooh, tricky.)
September is going by so quickly! I can hardly believe that it will be October next week... and that registration for NaNoWriMo will be starting on Monday! (Am I pimping? Oh yes I am.) I guess I should start thinking about my novel topic, maybe do some plotting... All that good stuff, for whatever help it ever gives me. Considering I have a very bad habit of quitting my projects in favor of new ideas sometime during the first week of the month, plotting might actually slow me down... but whatever. It'll be good to force myself into the write-like-a-maniac routine again. I've let that slide. Um. A lot.
End of September and the weather is up in the nineties. Argh. Summer is officially over, and I would like some end-of-summer weather, thank you very much. Cool breezes, early-morning frosts, and all that jazz. That would be lovely. (Make it happen, would you?)
I'm having a love affair with the parenthesis lately, can you tell? It's probably similar to my previous love affair with the em dash and will eventually die off over the course of several years, but this parenthetical love affair bothers me more than my fling with the em dash -- probably because I've always given the parenthesis considerable more interruptive credit than the dash. (Whoa, that did make sense to anyone? Where my English peeps? Can I get a holla'? [I should never be allowed to do that again.])
I have a sudden urge to title all my journal entries in a manner akin to the old-time chapter-title style. You know, the sort of title that essentially summed up everything you ever wanted to know about the chapter? Things like "In which Candide sees monkeys tormenting small children and winds up a captive" or whatever. (Actually, I don't think Voltaire did those. Who am I misrepresenting, then? Victor Hugo? Jane Austen? He or she is a classic(ish) author who I rather like. I just can't remember who it is. Sad.) In any case, I want to do descriptive and unnecessary wordy chapter titles for everything from now on. It might save me some trouble in thinking up catchy subjects (although that might cause me more grief in that the subject line for LiveJournal has a character limit, as I've just discovered...).
...I can't concentrate worth a fig today. Also, I'm wanting for a piece of gum.
Ah, well. One problem at a time. ^_~
