I can't even believe this. In FORTY EIGHT HOURS we will be embarking on that wonderful, booze-fueled, and straight-up utterly macabre month of noveling. I want to start now.
As long as I can remember, I have only really known one thing: how to snack. Yes, I am planning on following Indigo's footsteps and pursuing post-graduate studies in the prestigious snacking school at McGill. Since I have so much wisdom to bestow on the uninitiated, I feel that it is my duty to share with you my NaNoWriMo-specific snacking guidelines. First, avoid sticky foods. including anything that is sugar-coated. A sticky keyboard means fewer words per minute, which is definitely not what we are going for here. Second, embrace your new friend: the spoon. As I have discovered, almost anything can be eaten with a spoon. My most pleasant surprise was Smartfood. No more cheese powder hands for me! And finally, I have two words for you: tiny tongs.
To conclude, I would like to make a suggestion to all of you. Technically, we are not participating in National Novel Writing Month, since that month is actually November. I think that we should change the name to EzNoWriMo, or Esmonde Novel Writing Month. And yes, I am aware that some people who weren't lucky to be born Esmonde participate, but come on, they're all wannabes anyway. What do we think?
Tomorrow I will be making my playlist, and on Wednesday I will be picking up the snackskies that follow my three golden rules. Eeee!!!!!

Eeeeee! I wonder which snacks you'll choose! (said while jumpy clapping)
ReplyDeleteAaaah! I want to do EzNoWriMo but I don't know that I can (I'm thinking about it today). Otherwise, if I don't start a new novel, I'll edit/rewrite last summer's novel so that it can actually be readable. I have so many ideas, since I've been thinking how I wanted to rewrite it for the past year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will follow your snacking rules--no one likes a sticky keyboard!
I am all about EsNoWriMo or EzNoWriMo (I've seen a few alternative spellings).
ReplyDeleteManta you can do it!!!!
