Someone go make me a martini! You, go feed the cats. Words. I need more freaking words!
I'm going along with Bootkiller's suggestion. More sex. More violence.
Type type type type!

NaNoWriMo word count: 42,010. I'm going to finish this year or die trying.
The good news: my novel is done.
The bad news: it's not long enough.

I'm staying home to write today. I'm going to drink half a pot of coffee, have a diet coke and take a nap later. I may or may not bathe.
I might eat something. I might not, it will depend upon my stomach.
Tally ho. Pulitzer prize in literature, here I come.

I've spent the last three hours writing and drinking coffee. I've done something strange which is skip the big fight scene and instead have written the ending to the book. I need to get the fight scene correct in my head before I try to type it out. I'm sitting on the fence at 40k words. I know I can hammer out the rest tomorrow and spend Friday and Saturday doing some enhancing and revising. I also need to rework the sex scenes so they are less teenage akward and more Romantic Times sexalicious. My head is full of words that don't exist. I think I'll take a bath and then go for a walk. I've added a link to my Amazon wishlist on the left just in case you love me and want to buy me presents. Or maybe you're just curious about my strange taste in music, books and movies.

It was a very clinical afternoon. I went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned. I was told by the dentist and the hygenist that I have beautiful perfect teeth. Which is true. I have zero cavities and straight teeth without ever needing braces. I'm just a freak of nature.
Then was the eye doctor to pick up some new blue contact lenses and get an eye exam. My eyes look healthy so my whole funky eye infection thing didn't hurt my eye and the eye cream doesn't appear to be irritating the eye tissue.
I even got lovely parting gifts. Normally when you get a new pair of contact lenses you get a little opti-free starter kit full of saline solutions, cleanser and enzyme cleanser. They gave me a grocery bag full of seven kits. Either they're cleaning our their stocks or they were just visited by their sales whore rep.
My bad ass bear hands.

I got a google hit today for "How to Hurt someone seriously with your bear hands." I don't know what's funnier:
1) That google led them to my site.
2) That someone thinks they can learn empty hand techniques on the web.
3) That they spelled bare incorrectly. If I had bear hands I bet I could beat up anyone. Grrr! Grrr! I have bear hands!

Kungfukitten, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.
Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.
You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.
In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."
All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.
You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.
It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.

Writing, holidays and rib cage.

I'm only working a day and half this week but I'm still having a hard time focusing. I work all day today, leave early tomorrow for the dentist and then don't come back to the cube until Monday December 1. That means I'll have five straight days to work on the novel. I'm sitting pretty at 35,000 words and have an outline for how the book should end. It's good, real good. Despite the obvious errors that happen when you write at high speeds, I really like my novel. My main character is an angry spit fire kung fu fighting librarian who slays vampires after hours. What could possibly be more entertaining than that? I'll post the full novel via word document link on December 1.
I think Thanksgiving is cancelled this year. I want to see my family but I'm not up for traveling and have had problems eating. The positive side effect is that I can see my rib cage. Not the individual ribs, but the rib cage. Don't worry people, I still have enough fat to get me through the winter. This is nothing serious. All will be revealed in a couple of weeks.
