Nano-what-now?

[garnigal]

I haven't signed up yet. I've been functioning on the assumption that I was going to do it, but I haven't really... done anything to facilitate the process. I haven't signed up, hell, I haven't even been on the site to check out what's going on locally. One of last year's locals is on my flist - apparently the kick off was last weekend. :)

Work has been insane. I even missed book club (for the first time since I started it about three? years ago) because of it. I'm not feeling motivated to do anything - not write, not read, not even watch TV, and I love TV.

AJ has been acting weird lately. At first we thought he was just an asshole :) He started peeing in weird places, including on me while I was in bed. Unpleasant to say the least. But in the past couple of weeks he's gotten worse and then he got really quiet and withdrawn. So I took him to the vet and he's got crystals, so now we've got to do the expensive food. I've been bragging for years about how our cats are so healthy and prefer the cheap food, so I suppose this is Karma. He should be better soon, though, and that's all that matters.

So that's a brief update on my life. Still haven't decided about Nano, still burnt out, still worried about my cat. Life can only get better, right?

I usually get the Purina indoor cat kibble for about $5.50 for a small bag (which feed the three cats for just under a week). This new stuff is 32$ a case for wet and 16$ for a small bag of kibble.

As for Nano... I'll probably sign up. Maybe I'll use the Taming the Muse prompts to lead my story in unusual directions. :)

Hey! That's the dry cat food I use!! And come to think of it the cats have been peeing in places they shouldn't be. Why kind of dry food should I give them?

I have a couple or ten thoughts flying around my head for NaNo. Nothing concrete. This'll be VERY interesting.

My friend minor_ramblings suggested the Purina low pH food (one of the comments above). She had problems with one of her cats, and that's what she uses as maintenence. She says she can get it at her grocery store here in Guelph. She did have Max on the prescription diet until his crystals cleared up though.

I'll take a look - and no, I didn't read comments. I'm lazy that way *g*

Hey, good news. I have an idea for my nano.

Sign up!

Sign up!!

I have an idea as well.

The 'novel' I wrote last year I finished, but it needs rewrites up the wazoo. I'm not sure where to start or what to do, so I've done nada.

I'm all signed up and ready to write. I'm going to go to bed early tonight and try and get up early tomorrow to put in a couple hours before work.

Good luck!

I'm here if you need me.
