Just a quick note or two today, before I trudge off to the word mines to deal with the mess I’ve made during post-NaNo craziness.

NEWS: ~Touched~ is being featured Tuesday, November 19 at The Fussy Librarian, a new website that offers personalized eBook recommendations. It’s pretty cool, easy to use, and filters out the books you won’t enjoy, focusing on the books you’ll love to read. You choose from 40 genres and indicate preferences about content and then the computers work their magic. I signed up — check it out! www.TheFussyLibrarian.com

In NaNo NEWS: So far, my NaNoWriMo count is ~64k, and my knuckles are feelin’ it. I’m really glad NaNo is only once a year. Maybe I’ll only do this every other year. We’re halfway through November and I’m feeling rather burnt out. It’s funny how many people encouraged me to quit, most of whom became especially vocal when I was at the 40k word mark. It makes no sense to quit when you’re so close to rocking your personal challenge, even if you are exhausted. Who stops when they hit the wall? I’ll tell you who doesn’t: Writerghoulie, that’s who. Nope, nope.  I’ve let a few things slip: laundry, cooking, social obligations…I’m very behind on my TV watching… but a wise man once told me, “In five years, which will you remember? What TV shows you watched, or that novel you wrote?” So, yeah, good point! Fuck that quitting shit. I will ease up after Nov 30.
