April Fools!

[thewhitelily]

I'd been starting to get a little depressed at the absense of April Fools - when I went to sign up for this year a couple of weeks ago, they were down with a little note saying they'd been hacked and didn't know when they'd be up again.

Can I write a novel without a support framework for write it NOW, I wondered?

Of course I can! I told myself. Yes. Obviously. Particularly since this novel is totally at the stage where I feel like I might burst if I don't get it out of me. Really, I can.

But... would I? I mean, seriously, I've been considering putting off this novel until November - seven months away - because NaNo was such an awesome buzz, and I wouldn't want to risk not making it without the t-shirt and the fake tattoo and the friends to go waaaaaah! to. I've been neurotically checking back every now and then to see if they were up again, watching the approach of April 1st with a wary eye, and now... THEY'RE BACK!

Yayay, April Fools!

So will anyone join me, or must I go off and make a whole new set of friends?

I'll join you. I've been meaning to write for a while now, but it's just not the same when putting down the worst drivel that's ever had the misfortune to cross my brain when I don't have the excuse of meeting a word count deadline.

W00t! Another Brisbanite! I shall look forward to seeing your progress. :)

Nope - too much already.

Plus I'm saving my novelling abilities for proper NaNo. I figure I only need to do the deep diving once a year and out of the two outside people who have read my last one, the gist of the comments are, Wow, you really *are* fucked up.

But I'll gladly read whatever you (and whomever else joins) come up with. After sci oly stuff's run through.

Ah, it is sad, but I know you're very busy m'dear.

And sure, I can understand saving it all for NaNo - I'd be doing the same, I think, and concentrating on making myself edit... if I had something worthwhile to edit. :)

Well, you have oneshots to edit, right? Or you could spend the next... halfyear planning the next NaNo?

*should be studying*

No, sorry. Really: nothing would give me greater pleasure, except perhaps Emma Watdson. But GCSEs are a bitch.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear they're both all right!

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know - it's very much appreciated. All the best to both of them. :)
