Welcome to NaNoWriMo! Pass out the coffee hopefully awash with plot bunnies. I’m giving my word count to Portland this year to help beat Vancouver, who’ve challenged us! First, Vancouver; next, Seattle! And then, the world… yes, you know how this is going to end.
It’s already started to be an interesting experience balancing NaNo and college. I haven’t gotten much done on either of the two! Hopefully, though, my Calculus homework will be finished soon and then I can do some work on my Humanities paper (woefully due the 15th of November). I’m not the only one doing this odd balance of course — there are tons and tons of us, and at Reed, I know of a few. In a few days, we might just go genuinely bonkers, ready-for-the-asylum crazy (hopefully after the 15th…).
However, I’ve noticed that Reedies — an especially Reedies who do NaNo — have a better concept of time management than others, at least some of the time. I have managed to get everything done with some time to spare, except for my Humanities papers. I obviously need to plan those better.
