Writerly thoughts, a blur of a weekend

I'm exhausted. This weekend was wonderful, but very, very full. I'm almost a little excited to go back to the monotony of the work week.

Went to the state fair today. Ate many glorious foods that are horrible for my health. Glad I went for a run this morning - felt less guilty about the foods. Now I'm in a sun-soaked food coma.

But I really came here because I finally opened the NaNoWriMo newsletter, and saw the teaser for the theme. And ohhhhh my. HRNGH. I really want to win this year because the theme is awesome. If the August Writing Challenge is any indicator, this year's NaNo will be incredibly difficult for me to finish. But that's ok. I guess that's what happens when you have a job.

Anyway, here's the teaser image:



The theme is "The Boundless Novel," and draws on a lot of steampunk imagery. I know it's kind of silly to get really excited about writing because of the theme of an arbitrary month's writing challenge, but ... y'know, I don't care. I think that if something makes you excited to follow a passion - particularly something that doesn't hurt others or yourself - why the hell not get excited?

That's about all. Time to veg out.
