Happy Halloween people. I’d write more but I’m currently thinking of ways I can get out of my novel writing obligations. I think I might throw myself in front of a moving bus.
Last night I dreamt that I owned a car here in New York and had to drive it through downtown Manhattan. It was the most terrifying dream I’ve ever had.
If you own an XBox 360, you know what the tag to the left means. Everyone else please ignore this shameless display of video game dorkiness.
Sometimes I’m not sure whether or not I actually slept the night before. Last night, every time I looked at the clock, an hour had passed. I don’t know if that means I kept falling asleep and waking up at one hour intervals or if I just didn’t sleep at all. The only thing I know for sure is that I’m exhausted. Stupid sleep.
So peep this.
I volunteered at the BARC animal shelter in Brooklyn yesterday and walked the coolest dog ever. Even though
I was seriously considering taking him home with me. Anyone out there need a beagle? Someone needs to bust my homey out of lockdown is all I’m saying.
I see that one amongst you has the courage to join me in my fool’s crusade. My friend Joel has snatched up the writing gauntlet cast down by the Gods of lengthy prose and is preparing himself for our Herculean task even as I blog. Are there any other brave souls out there willing to accompany us as we march forward on the path towards literary immortality?
The month of November is almost upon us once again which means that it’s time for my annual display of masochism. Yes, it’s time once again for me to participate in National Novel Writing Month.
For those of you who might be wondering, National Novel Writing Month (“NaNoWriMo†for short) is an endeavor meant for the truly insane: it involves writing a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days that comprise November (or fewer if you’re that good). If you break it down, that comes down to roughly 1667 words per day which is a completely feasible goal if you aim for quantity, not quality. Thankfully, pure quantity is exactly what I’m aiming for.
This will be the third year I’ve attempted this. My previous attempts have ended far short of the 50,000 word mark but this year, I foresee nothing but victory. Keep tabs on my official NaNoWriMo profile and watch me hurt myself.
At 8:00pm next Thursday, October 26th, I’ll be doing my standup thing at the Laila Lounge in Brooklyn (the Williamsburg part). Come by and check it out. I guarantee I will say at least one thing that makes you laugh. Not being in the geographic area is no excuse to not show up.
