Since a lot of us are doing it and feeling a bit freaked out (and excited!) right now, I thought I'd bring you some goodies. First off, the icon I'm using. Those of you who don't know the end of the world video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZMwKPmsbWE) probably won't get it, and those who have might not find it amusing as I did, but whatever. We all know that I have a bit of an odd sense of humor. Blame the fandamnly AKA- the family. It was made by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

NaNoWriMo starts in just two days, and if you still have the pre-NaNo delusions that are leading you to believe that NaNo is a wonderland of fun, here is a sobering lecture, to calm you down and remind you that, well, you can't roundhouse kick your wordcount in the teeth.
Chuck Norris threw his typewriter at the wall, not out of frustration, but merely curiosity. Out popped Les Miserables but after reading the manuscript, Chuck decided it was bullshit and threw it in the trash.
After the first two days of NaNoWriMo, Chuck Norris had written and edited a reasonably-sized novel he considered calling War and Peace. But after reading it over on NaNo Day Three, he realized that it was seriously lacking and put it away in a cupboard. In the next few weeks, he worked at his next idea, the result being an action/adventure pupl novel called the Bible.
"Back space" is not in Chuck Norris' extensive vocabulary. He writes his novel by hand. With calligraphy pens.
Chuck Norris found other people's handwriting irritatingly messy. That's why he invented Times New Roman. He himself, of course, simply dictates the story to his writing materials. Font is irrelevant to him.
Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain, Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, Gore Vidal. What do these names all have in common? They are pseudonyms used by Chuck Norris. He's a very modest person, after all.
Chuck Norris ran with scissors, danced with wolves and knew what you did last summer. All in a day's work.
Moll Flanders is Chuck Norris' ex-girlfriend. He became the first ex ever to release private memories to the public out of malice and (perhaps) bad taste. He refuses to acknowlege any similarities between himself and Emily Gould.
And let's not forget...Chuck Norris won NaNoWriMo. In October.

So here's to hoping that this year is way more successful than last! *crosses fingers*
I'm hoping to get a good 10K done this weekend, so that way if I am unable to write another day then I won't be completely behind. That, and I'll already have more words than I got done last year. I'm making small steps for myself: 15 K, then 22 K, and then 45 K, and then 50 K. If any one of those are accomplished, then I will be happy because that's more than I get done in a month normally.
WOOT! Only about 18 hours!
May the muse be with you.
