seventhe#1 -- NaNoWriMo 2008! I am seventhe on the NaNo website -- friend me! I need as many buddies as I can to encourage me, as I'm going for "50,000 words in one month" with a -8 day vacation handicap. Get ready to kick my ass, guys.
I actually finally wrote a novel synopsis, too, for anyone interested...
Overflow
Enna was born with a magic too big for her body, and has spent the last few years of her life learning to wrestle it into submission after the uncontrollable outburts, restless days, and sleepless nights drove her partially mad. Life with the dwarves is slow, but peaceful, and learning to heal saps most of the magic Enna can neither handle nor use. With the help of her doctors, the dwarven healers, and Klima, her half-Nightmare friend, Enna is finally learning to live with the magic she once thought a curse.
But Enna's distant cousin Tirana, a mysterious elementalist called to a dangerous pilgrimage, requests the help of Enna and her uncontrollable skills... for a voyage across a war-torn land which has taken the lives of many. The request from family can't be refused, and Enna agrees to do what she can - as little as it may be - to help Tirana and her group of hired guardians cross the dangerous, Nightmare-frought Civil Lands into the empty unknown of the Nolands beyond.
I'm kind of excited about doing this story. I think it'll be a good break from doing other projects -- they do say that you're supposed to start a new project for NaNo to make it easier on yourself, so we'll see if that's true...

healthbloggers! Jenny and I are having fun trading links and motivating each other with workouts - come join in!
Last week I ran 5 miles, which was a super exciting milestone for me. I made up for that by skipping Sunday's workout and then totally sucking ass on the treadmill last night. Oh, and even though I've lost weight, I don't appear to be any smaller, so I had a totally superficial little crankyfit last night. It was awesome. And by awesome I mean pretty terrible.
#3 - TRICK OR TREAT MEME I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU JUST YET
#4 - GO PLAY FFDQ:capslock_ff
#5 -- Did anybody else watch House last night? WTF was up with that shit?? Thirteen??? OMG???? CAN I USE MORE PUNCTUATION?????
