yep, nanowrimo.

I am sabrinastar on nanowrimo.

YES, i am signing up for this even though the World of Warcraft expansion is coming out in the middle of the month. I wasn't even sure i was going to do this but the idea's been haunting me for a week, and it seems like a suitably impulsive/creative thing to do.

In other news, i heard from the IRS, they finally sorted out the situation involving my name change and will be sending me my refund plus my "economic stimulus" check (which i never received). Just in time to pay for the heating oil, ha ha. Not freezing my tush off for the next two or three months sounds pretty stimulating to me. Hopefully there will be a little left over for a new video card.

Yay - you exist, because the gummint sez so!

Oh, they had no doubt that i exist, because they claimed i owed them taxes for last year. They just doubted i'm me. Their claim was, that i could not claim myself as an exemption, because my name as offered to them didn't match my social security info. Even though the social security office was the first place i went once i had the court papers in hand.

Oh hrmm. I was thinking of signing up this year but you just reminded me about the expansion pack... What to do? LOL

The first week or so is going to be a circus of server crashes, bugged out quests, competing for pulls, and lag-tasticness. I don't think i'm going to be away from WoW competely during all that but i can see myself wanting to take long breaks away from it.

I've entered NaNoWriMo for the first time this year, I'm really quite excited - and of course since I don't play WoW, I don't have that to worry about.

In fact, I've choosen to go all out, no TV, no nights out - this month for me is purely about writing. I've only done 409 words so far though, but that was at midnight to get me started.

I'm lex-a-like on there. Mind if I add you as a buddy?

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

Yes, absolutely, i'll add you back.

Um, i can't figure out where to update my word count. There's a box in the upper right corner but it's greyed out and won't let me enter anything, and i can't find anything else. ::feels like a noob::

[jl-legend.livejournal.com]

That one in the top corner is a new feature, which they haven't finished (supposedly it was coming online last night).

You should be able to update your count here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/154007/edit/novel_info

It put in your User ID - but if that doesn't work, on the main "My NaNoWriMo" screen, go down to edit Novel Info.

Technically I'm no overly impressed with the site, but then it's had a lot of downtime. Hopefully it won't distract from the writing though :)

Whoo, boy - chances of me doing ANYTHING for a month or so once WotLK comes out are effectively zero :)
