Day -3

So it's the 29th, meaning WriMo begins in about 3 days. The panic I've heard so much about is just now hitting me. I've recently cleared out my iPod of any music that could be distracting, and left it with 3 songs (two by the lovely live2tivo on YouTube and then the Nanowrimo Song by All Caps) about WriMo and a bunch of classical music. I have a notebook and folder with WriMo flyers stapled onto them, and a binder filled with the incredibly useful NaNo for the New and the Insane by Lazette Gifford (http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/3699440) which ate up 3/4 of my black ink.

And I have a basic plot (though I've been told that plots go out the window November 1st anyway, so the last 29 days of my frantic planning may have been in vain...) that I rather like. I think I'm rather ready.

I'm also having an argument with myself over which font to use for the site. I live of of Arial on just about everything I do, but I kind of like Courier as well. It has that typewriter kind of look to it, I guess, which really matches the whole theme of writing. If anyone has opinions, I'd love to hear them.

Anyway, thanks for reading this blog, and if you've done NaNoWriMo in previous years, I'm all ears for any tips.
