holy cow, i have an idea for a novel and i am excited about it. i've been convinced for a long time that novels are not for me. flash is. short stories, maybe. novel? no way.

no, i'm not doing the nanowrimo this year. after winning last year, i.e. completing the 50k draft in which very little happens, i feel if i do it again, i will have to win... but... i don't have the time. i'm realistic here. but i might get myself tha nano t-shirt. it was sold out too fast last year. haven't checked the design yet.

but the novel idea just came to me, and developed almost by itself in the span of 45 minutes, while i was waiting for my daughter to fall asleep. it might be crap, but there is so much happening in it, i will need to weed stuff out, and i am excited about writing it, and this is the most important thing. so i will doing my own 'nanonano', as in mirconano, but smaller, and it will stretch for a couple of months.

it will be another one of those 'flash novels'. that's the only thing i can write, i think. small, digestable (or not) chunks.

okay, checked the t-shirt and it is so cool, i might even do the nano for real. i mean, i want the t-shirt. but getting it without doing nano will be cheating, of sorts.

i need tranquilizers to fall asleep. i'm hyper. (but not drunk)

and don't miss my totally unrelated, totally short entry at the canadian writers collective. but i will post in at midnight.
