    <content type="html">OK.  So, as I said, I'm not really &lt;i&gt;doing&lt;/i&gt; NaNo because a) who has time? and b) I'm still afraid of burnout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I think I am going to try something anyway.  Lately I keep coming up with all these ideas for LM stories and, much like I once had going for Hair, I have sprawled out into a bunch of WIPs.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...which is highly inconvenient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They're distracting and I don't have time for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO.  I think what I shall do is, in place of "doing" NaNo, I will do my best to finish off these WIPs I have sprawled everywhere.  At the very least, I will write every day.  Maybe a little.  Maybe a lot.  But I will write SOMETHING.  And hopefully in the middle of all that, I will actually get my exchange stories done.  I mean... it's not like one of them isn't due in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.  O_o;;;  (But I've got a decent start on that one, at least, which is more than I can say for the other two.  -.-;;;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, (though I'll probably cave on this one and start counting anyway) I think I'm going to say "Fuck the word count."  This isn't about number of words -- I KNOW I can rack that up if I want -- this is about FINISHING THINGS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, instead of posting word counts, I will borrow a trick from one of my favorite WIP memes and every day I will post a sentence from whatever writing I did that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that sounds like more fun.  ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... here's to FiWriThiMo (Finish Writing Things Month)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eirenical&amp;ditemid=240885" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
