Bad Decision Making (Again)

soc_puppetWell, it's happened again: I've opened my account at NaNoWriMo. This year, I completely and totally blame ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
irisflower81 for giving me the (admittedly gentle) push I apparently needed to do so. I'm sure that, as the month wears on, there will be much fist shaking in her direction. In any case, I can be found over there as Socchan, if anyone wants to be writing buddies or whatever.
I'm also going to be attending my local meetings this year, it looks like. I've got okay-ish hopes for this, as working in a group has been known to bolster my productivity. Hopefully we'll be able to pick a meeting date that doesn't conflict horribly with anything else I might be doing.
As for what I'll be working on, I'll be picking up where I left off in last year's novel. I barely got started in the main story, so I'm definitely not worried about having enough to do. If I get burnt out on that, or just need a break from it, I'll get back to work on my failed Kinked story. If I don't want to touch either of them, there's still that 500~ words I need to write to finish the next installment of Communications 6_6; (It's closer to two years than one since I last updated, and I am so full of writers' guilt >_< But that's for another entry entirely.)
I'm not actually sure if I'm going to go the "by hand" route this year. I'm leaning towards not, since I seemed to have better luck writing on my laptop than by hand for my aforementioned Kinked attempt. This may end up in a complete reboot of the story, but again, it's not like I got much done of that part of it last year ^^a
And now I think I'll give sleep another try. I really should invest in more calcium chews sometime...
