Well, I decided to sign up for something called last.fm. Some kind of service that you join and it analyzes the music you listen to and projects what else you might enjoy based on statistics like genre and artist and stuff. It's kinda interesting... and I'm always a sucker for statistics... things. So in case you were ever wondering what music I listen to, you can just look my up on my last.fm profile. Yes... it is mostly songs by Japanese artists, but that's solely because most of the music I listen to is video game music... and all the best video games come from Japan anyway, so there you have it!

Although, right now, it's mostly Enya, because it's soft, ambient background music that keeps my mind clear while I'm writing. Yep, I started writing for that National Novel Writing Month. Very interesting, to say the least. I think it'll be good for me... not only do I actually get some writing done, but it forces me to write more and write faster and not letting me rewrite stuff into oblivion and waste time and get bored and stop. It's forcing me to charge through the basic storyline and when I'm done, I'll have a potentially chaotic book, but it'd be a first draft and I'll be able to go back later and edit everything in context! Much better than editing as you go... like, duuuh. But that's how I am... and that's why I've never finished writing any ideas I've had.

You can click the little image counter icon on the right to go straight to my profile (or just look at the image to see how much I've written) or you can go here and see how well I'm writing. Pretty much a progress report with projections and advanced statistics and stuff. Really cool stuff, that. I already said I'm a sucker for statistics, and this is no exception. I always load this up when I update my word count and see what it says!

So far, I've got 3,052 words logged on the first day, which is nearly twice what I need to do every day. I've got to make sure to write 1,666 words a day if I want to get done in 30 days. I was trying to shoot for 5,000 words today, but that was a bit out of my reach, since I had a bunch of odd stuff to do today. I might be able to hit 5,000 words tomorrow. 7,000 words total, bwahaha. We'll see.

Anyway... I'm tired... I'm going to sleep now. Bye!
