SEPTEMBER!

I woke up September 1st and thought ‘I don’t have to write anything today!’ It was a good feeling, especially since a more accurate thought probably would have been ‘I don’t have to feel guilty about not writing anything today!’

So, CampNaNoWriMo has come to its conclusion, and here are my conclusions about it:

1. Doing a NaNoWriMo over two months didn’t seem that much easier, but it did seem a *lot* longer.

2. Replacing pep talks with requests for donations was… less successful than I’m guessing they were hoping. I wasn’t impressed.

3. I may do NaNoWriMo in November too (it’s kind of a thing now), because I’m hoping I will feel re-inspired after two months have gone by. But I don’t think I’d do another summer novel, at least not because of Camp Nano.

4. On the other hand, this seriously boosted my word count for the year, which is pretty awesome. And random. Maybe I should go back and read my fic so I know what happened.

(PS: Tron and Transformers, the last holdouts on fandom inclusion, did ultimately make it in!)

just emailing myself again…

Hello to September!

Now that camping is over, a welcome back to more balance. Sleep, relax, be present in mind and body ~ a fancy way of saying rest up, don’t eat
junk, and for crying out loud don’t always drop exercise off the to do list at the first hint of an excuse.

Also, a new car — a snow-worthy car by the time the snow flies; that is the goal.

Love, Marci

(Note: It is entirely possible that the reason I have trouble driving in the snow is because I’m a crap driver, and not the fault of my car. On the other hand, my car has reached the ‘pieces falling off’ stage, and I feel it may be a sign.)

Fic:
Magnetic, by boombangbing
Because *yes* this is how awesome the Avengers could be together, with Tony dominating the media, and Thor not even *having* an indoor voice, and Pepper being a bamf, and Steve being confused, and everyone else eyerolling all over the place. Loved it!
