The September Test Run.

[kageotogi]

I'm still working on that to-do list (go to-do list!) today, so that's fun. But in the meantime? Yes. mortenavida posted this up on her journal, and I think it's a fine idea -- especially since I'm so far behind on my writing page counts! This can only help, right?

November is right around the corner, and that means NaNoWriMo is very nearly on its way. However, it's nice to get into that writing groove well before the actual event, so Jay is going to do a test-run in September. I'm joining her. But there's a twist. For the September test-run, all participants have to take one picture (any picture!) off DeviantArt (or iStockPhoto or whatever. She said DeviantArt specifically, but DA and I have unresolved issues) and write their stories around that picture.

I'm in, and I'll be choosing my picture tonight. Does anyone else want to join us? It's like NaNoWriMo: the Prequel.

Edit: I'm so unbelievably pleased with myself today. Do any of you follow You Suck at Craigslist? No? Well, you should. It's awesome. And they just quoted me on a t-shirt. Seriously. It's here (and I made the original comment in this post, if you insist on having context). I half-want to buy myself a coffee mug because of it.

I'm just that easily thrilled.

Edit: The shirts are back up, but they're here now.

There's an AugustWriMo thing, but I found out about it... three days ago? So this was the next best thing :D
