The time. It has flown past.

I have about... fifteen days to figure out if I'm doing NaNo or not? I wanted to. Was really gung-ho-guns about it. Then. I dunno. A whole month slipped by without me thinking about it at all and I got a NaNo e-mail about a meeting at Capital Ale. I know I can pump out an outline, maybe do a few personality sections for characters that I have no standard profile on, but... I feel like I need a bit more complexity in my writing, in my plotting, and something more complicated than my original plot.

Goddamnit Dresden Files. Your connecting logic I can't ever truly follow until it's spelled out for me -yet when a mysterious person from previous volumes shows up nameless I can almost always snap my fingers and go 'Oooh, probably that guy/girl from that time' and be right- makes me want to try it myself. But I'm bad at it. :[

Very bad.

*crosses fingers* Either way. The five W's and H will help me \o/ Just gotta get my notebook that I started all of this in during high summer... I actually had a launching point from there.



And I need to back up all my stuff to my external HD sooner rather than later so I can reformat. I told myself I would do it before my new job started, and that's been pushed back to at least mid-November. No telling what's up with that, but if I start NaNo, I won't have time for that shit. B| Like. At all.

And Renee's profile is looming over me. I think I have more trepidation about doing her back story than anyone else. The school keeps changing as I mold my ideas about how everyone meets and making things more realistic. Or as realistic as they can get when you have Mercenary schools that are accredited. >_> Meh.

Holy crap. I might not see you at all in that case. B| I was hoping you'd get there... BEFORE the rally and leave a few hours after. Mostly since I thought your friend was driving. *disgruntled sound* Maybe the Washington Monument. Or the reflection pool nearer to where the rally is going to be held.

The basics of the world. Like how I was rambling to you about if it was government or illegal organization. Those are big things that change a lot about the story depending on which point of view it is. Determines how the characters are received by other people, how they act, their motives, ect. And then, since this is technically a sequel to a story I never finished, I have to determine events from the past. How they met, how that shaped relationships in the 'present'. Yadda. So I'm doing all of that in snippets and as I tweak one thing, others fall in place or I have to jiggle others around to fit or take them out all together.

Well we can hang out during the rally. And meeting close to the rally would be good, because I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET TO THINGS. Also, I can leave later if you're offering a ride home~ 8D

She was driving, but then she heard about the bus. :/

I get you. Would doing NaNo help that?

If you pay for my gas money. =| To and back. B|

XD;; Weellll. I'd opt for the bus, if I knew I'd actually make it. When do they actually LEAVE for DC? I'd hope not at the last damn minute or anything.

It helped me last time. But I think it'd do a lot more this time around, even if I'm only doing a side story.

How much?

Oh wait, I can't read. We're getting in DC at 11 am, not 12.

She didn't want to have to deal with parking or finding a place to sleep. I don't know when they leave, probably at 4:30 or something. I know the trip to DC is from 6 am to 11 am, and they want us to be in Queens by 5:30, so probs a half hour. Either way 5 hours sounds RECOCKULOUSLY long to me.

Go go go for it.
