12 Hours ’til Doomsday


…or maybe I meant to say “NaNoWriMo”.

There’s an unwritten planetary law that goes something like “the amount of work that needs doing prior to NaNoWriMo is inversely proportional to the number of days left until NaNoWriMo starts”.  Kind of like, the closer NaNo gets, the more that needs doing before I’ll be able to write my first word.

Typical.

Instead of spending the next 12 hours doing something Earth-shatteringly critical and super-important, like agonising over my first sentence, I’m instead doing something hugely frivolous and of no importance at all (except, I suppose, that it helps pay the bills).

But, have no fear.  Whether it’s one word, or one sentence, I will start NaNoWriMo 2011 on day one.  I’m sure that’ll help reassure anyone who thought that the Earth might stop spinning on its axis if I didn’t begin NaNo when everyone else does.  (What, no one thought that?  Strange.)
