Hm.

It's probably too late for me to start NaNoWriMo.  But I was bitten by an idea, and may (if I am lucky) be spending the next two weeks bored to tears in a pharmaceutical study (this is lucky because there's a $3600 paycheck involved).

We're only 6 days in, it's not too late to try and catch up!

*waffles*

Seconding the above comment: it _is_ only six days in. (And I'm trying to catch up already. ;-)

Good luck with the study!

[matt_doyle]

... I've got 500 words already. Sigh. :-)

I'm starting to think that NaNo is a dangerous thing.

I've got 1600 words--8400 more would catch me up to today. Realistically speaking, I'm hoping I'll manage to get it up to 3k tonight.

It's looking like Firefly, only with FTL, anthropomorphic cats and marsupials, and no Mandarin cos mine is even worse than theirs. ;-)

[matt_doyle]

Oooh. Sounds intriguing.

[ap-aelfwine.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'd love to hear more about yours, when you feel it's at that point.

I, uh, am giving it a shot. And I'm not a writer. I just thought that I needed to try something different.

Anyway, I also say, it's six days in!

[matt_doyle]

I've already started, lol! At least if I spend two weeks in a pharmaceutical study it'll keep me busy.

You do realize that at some point I'll be exerting peer pressure to read what you've written.

[matt_doyle]

Thinking about posting the first two pages, which contain the concept in a nutshell.

[pixxiyestyx.livejournal.com]

Heh, I keep scrapping things and my word count is off from what's posted. I'm actually closer to about 6k instead of 9.

But I might let you at some point. XD

[ap-aelfwine.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to seeing it, when/if you decide to. I'll probably post up a chunk of mine sometime in the not-too-distant.

[sharaith.livejournal.com]

Crazy person! (Go for it!)

I'm trying it symbolically this year - meaning I'll probably end up with about 5k. Don't exactly have time for more than that. Sigh.

Would getting a $3600 paycheck mean you could finally start paying me back?

[matt_doyle]

Yes. But I got alted out of the study, so no. :-(
