jon_chaisson | Weekend Update Is Full of Writing in This House

A shout-out to anyone who's doing NaNoWriMo this year! Against my better judgement, I am kinda-sorta working on a project for the hell of it, just to keep my writing juices flowing while I continue to be bogged down in Revision Hell. I'm not aiming to hit the 50k mark, nor am I aiming to write every single day, as I need to keep my main focus on revising In My Blue World. My NaNo project happens to be an experiment in writing dystopia; in particular, I'm taking a crack at my "Noah and the Schoolyard" story idea and crossing it with horror anime style (such as Assassination Classroom and the like) to push my boundaries...I'm curious to see how far I can take this. I doubt it'll be worth publishing, but what the hell, right?

Speaking of NaNo, A is also taking part this year! She's in the living room writing a mystery novel. I am absolutely convinced that she'll write a best-seller in her first try while I continue to struggle and write crap, because that's the kind of person she is. :p Seriously, though...it's kind of strange for the house to be this quiet. Usually I'll have music on and she'll be watching TV, but there's no TV tonight. Welcome to the dark side! Heh.

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend!
