It is day 11 of the Nano challenge and holy cow! This has been such an amazing experience for me, really it has, I have found more inspiration in just sitting and writing than in any other writing method I've tried before; that said Nano just might kill me.
You see, I'm a neat freak. I love a clean and orderly house. My dishes are almost always done immediately, toys picked up before bedtime, lunches packed, clothes set out the night before, and laundry folded and put away. Nano writing has cut into a lot of the time I used to spend doing those things. I've done a pretty good job the last 11 days of putting on blinders and pretending like those things don't exist but today as I got out of the shower I got into my drawers and thought, "did the underwear gnomes strike again?" (the underwear gnomes are creatures related to the sock trolls. Sock trolls steal socks in the dryer, that's why there is always one sock and never a pair, whereas the underwear gnomes are particularly fond of well, underwear!) Alas when I looked in my laundry basket I found it wasn't the supernatural conspiring against me, there legitimately wasn't many pairs of under garments that weren't dirty. "Great! Thank you Nano gods for keeping from my stack of laundry!" Ugh, the inability to stay on top of it makes my eyes twitch!!
Now I'm happy to report that I did meet my Nano numbers today however there is a GIANT stack of laundry on the bed waiting to be folded. Wish those dang gnomes would fold once in a while, completely worthless keeping mythical creatures around when they do nothing to contribute. In the meantime I guess it's time for some Netflix and folding but just keep in mind if you see my eye twitching I'm not angry it's the supernatural plotting to take me down!
