November is here and with it a very busy time for me. You see, I've signed up for this "competition" called National Nover Writing Month which means that I'll have to crank out a 50000 word novel before the end of the month. I've no idea if that's going to happen, but I sure as heck am going to try. It'll be fun.

Now this might, or might not have a negative effect on my other writings. We'll just have to see about that. I will at least try and finish the ones I've started. But I probably wont start any new ones.

b>101 poems project
My plan is to write one hundred and one poems based on these themes I stole from some guy here on DA (if you recognise this please tell me who you are!). I plan to celebrate when I'm done with the first ten. How that will work out will be a surprise. The two missing themes will be added in later. I figure if I manage to write ninety nine poems, two more wouldn't make such a difference.
