2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!

Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.

The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.

At the stroke of Midnight in my timezone, my NaNoWriMo 2009 quest will begin! However, if you're the people who live in timezones where you already hit midnight, good luck on your quest for NaNoWriMo greatness.

And right now, the NaNoWriMo site is down. XD As expected since this is the start of the madness. People are usually flooding the site and making it crash. From experience of last year, just keep going before the site's back to normal traffic and you can start posting your word count and get word count widgets for your signatures.

I hope to get a good start on my quest for NaNoWriMo greatness. To get to the 50,000 word goal by the end of November, you have to write around 1667 words or more a day. My tactic is to write that and a bit more every night so at the end of the week, I would build up an extra day's worth of writing or more. Just in case I can't write on one day or I fall behind. That's my plan of attack. Also, I don't ned to worry about editing or whatnot. We can do that afterwards.

Also, I plan on updating my progress like I did last time. So, please be on the lookout for REALLY big text from me with NaNoWriMo updates.

So, I am SO READY! Let me loose!

    I've tried it before, but then I abandoned my Blogger account because no one paid attention to it. :[

    Usually, we don't think. We just write and write.

    Fair enough, I suppose. That's the whole point, no?

    That's the whole point. I hope to hit 2000 words by the time I leave here tonight. A good starting point.

    Really? I had my plot and characters all sorted out just an hour before I officially started. It's okay to do planning as long as you're not writing anything.

    Anyway, think of something and see where it leads you.

    Yeah, I've got it going now. I didn't have any planning because I wasn't going to enter, originally. I just signed up and started writing on a whim.

    I'm posting it in FF&W if anyone's curious.

    Well, I added you to my buddy list at the NaNoWriMo site. Okay, I'm off to write some more. I got my first deadline to hit.
