The Mandelbear's Musings

I never do NaNoWriMo; between Loscon and a full pre-holiday schedule November is just too full to attempt any such thing. Besides, I have a lot of trouble with plot.

Instead, my plan is to carve out at least an hour a day for either music or writing, preferably an hour of each. I'll be blogging about my progress, if any, under the nono tag.

I can't say that I've been entirely successful so far: Saturday was the household party and yesterday was Lamplighters. But I did do at least an hour's worth of singing and noodling on Saturday, and yesterday I tracked down a couple of songs and got chords, lyrics and rips into the filesystem in preparation for the Tres Gique practice session this coming weekend.

I'm not going to count ordinary blogging (e.g. links, memes, fluff, and so on), only the kind of one-subject post that merits a tag in the subject line (e.g. "River:" or "Travels with Plink and Cthulhu"). I will count work on drafts, software, web pages, and so on. Hopefully I can clear out some of my River backlog in the process. The probability that I will get 50K words done is low, however.
