Lying liar:
I know what you're probably thinking - "Sweet Jesus on a stick! Kat is posting more than three times in a week! Clearly we are in Bizarroworld." However, I can assure you that not only are we still in the regular world, that there is a reason for the extra post.
You see, while I have been very verbose lately telling you all about how much people annoy me and all the celebrity nipple sightings and my weird bout of lovesickness (which has passed, thank you baby Jesus!) and my intimate familiarity with my own labia, I have been battling a severe case of writers' block with my NaNoWriMo novel.
I have a super kickass plot and have completed my character sketches. My characters are awesome and include several midgets and a monkey that understands English. I've even written like 12,000 words already. But I just can't for the life of me get past this one part of the story. I'm totally behind on word count, but as it is I can barely force myself to squeeze out a couple of hundred words before it all devolves into a rather dejected-looking me staring blankly at a monitor. Of course, I have no problems writing lengthy diatribes about STORM WATCH 2003!!!!11!!1one, but as we all know, weather is much more exciting than circus freaks.
To top it off, I am going to Phoenix tonight to visit my grandma for the weekend. I am pretty sure that hanging out with my grandmother and her friends will put the kibosh on any word count increases. Also, even though I tell myself I am going to be good and stay in my hotel room writing instead of drinking heavily, going out with my friends and perhaps exchanging a little saliva with one in particular, I will probably do just that because I break promises to myself all the time.
Maybe I should just write at length about one of my characters taking a trip to Phoenix, hanging out with cool old people, drinking heavily, and making out with someone with an abnormally large tongue piercing, even though the novel is supposed to be completely fictional.
Shh.
It'll be our little secret, okay?
