Drama and Literature, But Not Really in the English Major Way, Exactly

Apologies to Garrison Keillor.

So in today's drama, Andrew's started the first round of separation. Basically he and Beastwife have been in "counselling" the last month or so, and today she threw a fit, stormed out of the room, and the counsellor was like, "Let's just stop this, it's too fucked up, here's some paperwork for separation." To which Andrew, in a rare moment of sensibility, said "Okay."

In other news, Scott has a cold, which I feel bad about as I think it's the one I avoided this weekend through copious amounts of orange juice, and Paula got a new job at NARA which I think is just awesome.

Last but not least, November is approaching, and with it, NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to, um, write a novel in a month. Quanitity over quality, obviously, but still. It's something I've always wanted to do but have always had, y'know, homework and research papers to do instead. But this year is different. So, I'm gonna try. This means loyal readers will hopefully inundated with great gobs of postmodern fantastical genius. Or gibberish, whichever happens first. (Obviously the latter, but I can always just say I'm doing an homage to Joyce, right? Right!)

It's official!

I'm all signed up for NaNoWriMo! I've even downloaded the Participant Icon for use in November. I'm still trying to figure out what genre to write in though. Anyone have any requests? ;)

My preferred genres are:

Literary Fiction
Science Fiction
Fantasy
Chick Lit. and Women's Fiction
Historical

I can even try to do these ALL AT THE SAME TIME. (I do have an ambition of one day doing a Philip K. Dick-type story in the style of Meg Cabot, e.g. Are There Electronic Princesses?)

If anyone wants to post dares, I'll consider those also. :)
