Nanowrimo Almost Killed Me

So I didn't finish my novel. Not even close. But I did write 11,000 words, and that has to count for something. An intro. A start. I'll get back to it someday. Maybe even this month.

But first thing's first. This blog. It's been sorely neglected. So much so that I thought about going into the bowels of blogger.com to read the legalities of abandoned blogs. If you're inactive for a long period of time do they cut you off? That's how I lost my yahoo account a few years back. Not that I miss it too much, but I can never read those emails ever again now, and it's mildly irritating.

Life piles up. Things need to get done that must be done, and other times nothing needs to get done. I usually identified with the later.

TV shows I've been watching:

LOST (when it's actually on)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (from the beginning again)
Studio 60 (again, when it was on)
Seinfeld
