^ Ah damn it, that's so hard. But I remember this part of my NaNo '09 -or actually what I've written in December, since I failed terribly that year. I've read it this winter and the dialogues were actually really, really funny! Just wished the entire thing was like that > I so need a new laptop so I can start writing again in the train, on my way to uni. Used to be my best writing time! v How far and how do you travel to school/uni/work?

^ 20 minutes by car to get to my college, where I also work, as a tutor. The public system here isn't even terrible, because in order for something to be terrible, it has to exist. XD > I still haven't started plotting today. I've spent all my time on the forums. I bet you're sick of hearing about this. Promise to self: I will NOT witch about spending all my time on the forums again until AFTER I've put in a good bit of plotting! v Where/how do you usually write? That is, how do you fit writing into your schedule?

^ Well, I write at school, just not my NaNo. And I try to get all my homework done there. So I come home and type all night (And procrastinate...)
> I have nothing else interesting to say. Procrastinating by ranting to my friend. That's all I got.
V Do you have any friends who write? Or ones you let read your writing? Or something? I'm no good at this...

^ I love Jane Austen! So far Pride & Prejudice is my favorite, but I'm reading Persuasion for the first time at the moment and I'm really liking it as well.

^Nope >I don't watch TV anymore. No time. People are often shocked when I tell them I never have the television on all day... v What sort of things do you tell people to shock them? -Seriously, I've started telling people about the television just to freak them out. Doesn't anyone in the USA NOT watch TV every second of the day? Just wondering.

^ Yes, but usually I get discouraged because the author(s) write so much better than I do. > I have mixed feelings about that^. I read because I love reading. However, I am tired of reading badly written books or, worse, perfectly written books. The one (badly written) makes me feel like I just wasted my time. The other (wonderful book) makes me feel like all my writing is a waste of everyone's time! *sigh* v What genre do you enjoy the most - aside from what you enjoy writing?
