16 days, and counting

I met with the other ML yesterday to plan the NaNoWriMo Kickoff Party. It's going to be simple, but productive and -- oh yeah -- fun! I've hardly given my novel a thought, which is what I did last year as well, and it was difficult to begin, so I'm going to have to try a little harder this time around.

Here's what I have so far: a character. She doesn't have a name, but she's around 30, I think, single and stuck. Her parents come from the old country and want to arrange her marriage, and even though she's not in a relationship, she doesn't want to settle.

This will not, I repeat, will not be a romance!

Anyway, I was working on something similar in last year's novel interruptus, but this will be better. Probably darker. I'm going to spend some time the weekend before character sketching.

I must get to work catching up in college class number two as well as planning the trip we're taking out of state Wed-Sun. I'm really not in the mood to travel but I think it will do me good.
