I’ve been crazily busy these last few weeks. That opera I posted about a few months back? It turns out I got in after all. And consequently I’m spending every waking hour either at work or at the CDU theatre. It’s all great fun, but there are just a few more sopranos per square metre than I can generally handle without tucking my head inside my jacket and crouching down in the corner.
The point is (sort of) that due to this slight over commitment of time on my part, my efforts towards getting sponsored for Nanowrimo kind of became a non-event. Also, apparently the poll I posted on the subject was getting blocked by certain versions of Firefox, so now I’m left pondering who the hell has been voting if it wasn’t my family. I’m looking squarely at you, K.Kim, although I will confess that the one who voted for ‘it is cheese’ was me, purely because I was absolutely determined that someone had to.
So yes… “Nanowrimo against global poverty” was a bit of a flop. However, due my being an attention seeking knob and a glutton for punishment to go with it, I’ve decided to go ahead and try it for free.
Consequently my usual semi-regular dispensing of inane drivel may have to take a slight hiatus here for November, while I concentrate the nonsense generation faculties on a slightly larger goal. But I will try to update the running word total (over on the right) so you can see my glorious progress, or calamitous lack thereof, depending.
Breath and wind. It is cheese!

moi!? don't know what you're talking about. and you totally can't count these words because i know for a blogging fact you wrote at least a good portion of them several days ago, contemplated posting, then took them down. (blame my blog. it's been showing a void page for days now.)
Oh shut up. I meant to hit "save" and hit "publish" instead. It's an easy mistake.
I have no intention of counting anything written here towards anything. Unlike certain travel journal writing imposters I won't name, I'm going for novel, full novel and nothing but novel.
3200 words and counting, btw.
4085.
