Instead of Writing

I have 2K to write this evening. 2000 words. I've already written 433, but that was this morning and I'm trying to make up for not writing at all on Saturday.

Well, not exactly trying, since I haven't even opened any of my novel-related doc. files.

Mostly, i've been not trying. And it's amazing what you come up with to do when you're not trying to write.

     Blog entries
     Artist Trading Cards
     Tapping out rhythms on the keyboard with your fingertips as you look around the room
     Suck haiku

Suck Haiku are one of my very favorite parts of NaNo. I'd forgotten then and I ADORE the Suck Haiku. They're what you write when things aren't going well.

This is my favorite of all the Suck Haiku I wrote today:

     Type Think Type Think Type
     Wrong. Delete Delete Delete
     Gah Gah Gah Gah Gah

And that pretty much sums it up.

I wonder what would happen if actually tried to write?
