NaNoWriMo -- or rather, NaFiFiMo

So. November is nearly here. For some people, that means NaNoWriMo. Best of luck to 'em.

As for me, I don't have any ideas for novels, unfortunately. So - and I think I've mentioned this before - I'm going to make it a goal to turn November into a sort of "National Fiction Finishing Month" for myself. :)a I'll make it a goal to get things done, even if it isn't quite the same thing as what everyone else is doing.

This'll be more difficult than it might otherwise be, since I will be working for most of the month (I start my job on Monday, and I'm pretty excited about it) but I'll still see what I can do.

Off the top of my head, here are some things that I have in-progress that need to be finished:

-That Sweden/Finland love-letter thing that has been drafted forever and nearly finished. The draft is complete. It just needs editing. I should finish it, goddamnit.
-That Denmark/Norway/Sweden thing from around May
-That Norway/Sweden thing with the magic and the sexflipping from like... last year
-The quiet, atmospheric Norway/Sweden based on that roleplay thread from around February

There are other things that I have on the go, or could start, but the above are ones that I have at least a decent bit started (in many cases almost finished, or 2/3rds finished, or...) It's just a matter of sitting down and doing it. Though honestly, if I get even one of them done this month, I'll be happy.

Oh fuck, when did it get to be 1 AM -- I should've been in bed hours ago.

Well that was interesting.

I'm feeling really emotionally drained right now. It's that feeling I get after reading a REALLY SAD or REALLY INTENSE story. (Or sometimes, if it's good, it manages to be both, and then it's like, whoa). ... And as a matter of fact, I did just read a sad and intense story, so there you go.

But enough about that. I've basically spent the entire day reading fanfiction (with long breaks taken in between chapters to do yardwork. MAN, THOSE FUCKING LEAVES, I tell ya') and I'm not sure I want to think about this particular story right now.

Anyway. Man, am I ever getting nervous about that job. The one I start on Monday, I mean. WHAT IF I'M NOT GOOD AT IT. WHAT IF THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE DON'T LIKE ME. WHAT IF I ROYALLY FUCK UP. Whine, whine, whine. I know that when I get there I'll be fine (...probably) but right now I'm biting my nails like a mofo, trying to keep my nerves steady.

Ugh, okay, let's see. Tomorrow will probably be an index update if I can sit myself down and concentrate long enough. And I really need to look through my notebook and writing folder and take stock of 1. What I want to finish in November 2. What is nearly finished 3. What I will probably finish and 4. ... something else. I dunno'. Something.

I kind of want to keep track of my wordcount for that, but I kind of don't. I have several long (ish) fics that I want to finish, but likelihood is small, and -- well, honestly. What is long for me isn't long at all. The longest fanfic I've written was about 18 pages and 11K words; most of my stuff is around 1.5K, haha. So... I don't know. Maybe I'll just pay it no mind and then total it up at the end.

Regardless, this should be interesting. LET'S SEE IF I GET STUFF DONE.

(In before I end up sitting on my ass throughout the entirety of November and don't do a damn thing)
