Blue Andrea needs sleep… badly (NaBloPoMo #6)

For serious.  I made a wicked mad dash this morning to remedy the fact that I am sorely behind in my NaNoWriMo word count, and while I didn’t catch up with my daily backlog, I did break 5,000, so I feel like my novel still has meaning.  I now have that Jamaican bobsled team push I need to overcome what I feel is impossible.  I mean, who really needs snow to learn how to bobsled, right?  I can button-mash a novel in 30 days, even if it kills a few brain cells.

However, the day has taken it’s toll, so I’m going to bed in lieu of a “more real” post.  Besides, with my daily output, I’m sure you’re all two steps from an unsubscription, so consider this a skimmer.

I think the moral of the story is a work-life balance makeover I’ve been working on lately.  To that effect, I am keeping up with my NaBloPoMo commitment, it’s just not as fancy today.  Consider it beta, with improvements to follow. :)

P.S. Bonus points to anyone who gets the subject joke.

    I used to pour so much money into that game. We’d go to the arcade and plan on being there for a half-day or whatever, but we’d only play the one game and never got bored. Nowadays, a game like that would hold my interest for about 15-20 minutes.

    Gold star for Greg! All of my creativity is going directly into my happily crappy novel (”button mashing for authors” is my new mantra), so I can’t think of a more creative prize.

    I love me some Gauntlet. It was one of the first arcade games I really got into as a kid, back when Chuck E. Cheese wasn’t just for minors, and most things were taller than 4 feet high. ;D
