Do you think you'll do Nanowrimo again this year? I've been trying to get some of my co-workers to do it with me this year so I don't have to go through mid-November agony alone.

Actually, I am very jealous. Your life sounds rich and full and wonderful right now. Plus you totally averted those crisies, not hid them until such a time when they become null like I seem to have to do all the time.

I AM doing Nanowrimo this year, even if my output the first week of November is limited by other circumstances (see entry: Death of a Salesman Performance Dates). I had too, too much fun last year, and it's such a great community and energy that I am fully committed to participating again. Hell, I've already got a title and a concept and a couple of ideas for scenes, though I'm not big on lots of early prep.

You are more than welcome to go through mid-November agony with me. My nano username is also Sallyacious, nanomail me and we can add each other as friends.

Desiree - Sometimes the best way to deal with a crisis is to duck your head and hope you're not hit with stray bullets. You can only avert the crises over which you have control. It just so happens that I have a great deal of control *at the moment.* There are other crises I am coping with through avoidance because certain other humans and I will never get along. So I simply choose to stay out of their way.

As far as having a full life, yes I do. Because I keep announcing to the universe that I have nothing to do. So it gives me things to do. My problem is that I scream that loudly and vehemently enough that the universe fills my time completely. And then I start announcing to the universe that I have too much and need a break. It's a vicious cycle.

And the universe is laughing at me because I have not yet learned to ask for balance.

Universe: MONEY. Thank you.

Hee.
