I'm really beginning to appreciate the purpose of an outline for this bookwriting thing.  That's mostly because I didn't have one when I started writing the novel I'm revising, and it's really beginning to show.  It's causing me a lot more work.  I'm not sure I'm actually capable of maintaining an outline, but it would sure be nice to have one.  If I didn't have a computer to cut and paste on, I think I'd be dead in the water.

I suppose I could work on an outline for the next novel, and I probably will...  But my poor little brain doesn't think that way.

I can't believe it's been that long

I found a roommate, I joined a writers' group.  I'm now three hundred <i>and one</i> pages into the second draft of my novel.

I just spent fifteen minutes trying to remember what my user name was last year for nanowrimo.  I finally thought of it, even though the e-mail address I used for it isn't exactly functional, anymore.  I'm really not sure what I'm writing this year.  It'll finally give me the chance to put last years novel in a drawer somewhere and forget about it for a month.  As it turns out, I'm way too anal to put it down on purpose without some more pressing interest to keep me away.  Although I think the editing that I've been doing has been working out really well.

I started to build my computer.  Now, there are only a few pieces left that I need to put in place in order for the damn thing to function (moderately, at least), and I hope to have them before November 1st so I can write my novel in the peace and quiet of my own home.  New Roommate is a computer geek, and has offered me a Linux distribution on CD, so I might just do that.  Probably a good thing if we were running exactly the same distro, anyway.  After all, I'm willing to pimp out my mid-full tower thing in exchange for the use of laptop.
