Someone tell me signing up for Camp NaNo on the day it starts, with no idea what to write, and without having managed to crack 2000 words in the last three months, would be a really stupid idea. Doubly so on a month where I plan to make proper moving plans, if not actually move, and where work is going to be super high stress until the 13th.

I'm pretty sure the fact that it seems like a good one at all means I need to go to bed. But my brain is playing the game of "maybe if you just UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY OVERLOAD YOURSELF with things you should be writing, SOMETHING will crack right through and you will actually remember how to fucking write instead of stare blankly and uselessly at a computer!"

My brain needs to remember that this just ends in nothing getting done at actual things I try to do, rather than nothing getting done at the general concept of "being a person who can write words".

Don't overload yourself more than you can help. *hugs*

<3 *many, many hugs* I'm working on it? I just need my brain to stop deciding that overloading will somehow help.

I advise you not to do Camp NaNo this month. That said, if you absolutely must, remember the goal is adjustable: you can shoot for the minimum of 10K rather than for 50K.

This is true. <3 I think waking up in a sour mood managed to redirect my brain from "attempt ALL THE THINGS in the hope of maybe ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING" mode for the moment, though, and I get twitchy enough jumping in more than a day late that I'm unlikely to sign up even if I get the bug in a week. ...I may do this again in July, but I'll cross that bridge then. XD
