Been a bit grumpy lately due to all the news surrounding the Penn State sex abuse scandal, and I think it’s adversely affecting my mood and writing output. I’ve been compulsively watching the news and reading the newspapers for the last few days to follow the story, and the more I read about it, the more it makes me sick.
On a brighter note, I think I’ve just discovered a brilliantly stupid idea for my story (which I’m certain I’m not going to get to 50K before November because of how much time I’ve spent cursing at my computer because of the above scandal). Since my NaNo story revolves around playing with RPG clichés and such, I figured I might as well make the battles turn-based, too! (There’ll be an in-story justification for this later, but I have no idea how well it’ll work out.) Right now, I stand at 11.5K, and I probably won’t write much tonight, since it’s a Friday and I’m just now coming home from work.
