Man, I had a post all ready to write. It was about how much I hate the Chinese government, and just about everything that comes out of China (except the people). Seriously.<\/p>\n

When they’re not arresting people for no reason, or being slipshod in their quality control and health standards, they’re taking over other countries and telling them how to worship.<\/p>\n

But then the site went down for two days and I lost the will.<\/p>\n

Now, all I want to do is gear up for NaNoWriMo<\/a>. It’s funny how I keep having the same conversations about it. Mainly, people don’t understand why. They assume that it must be to eventually publish the story.<\/p>\n

But it isn’t. It isn’t about publishing the story. It’s about WRITING the story. Either you’re the kind of person who has often thought about writing a long story or you’re not. If you are, then I guess you’re either the kind of person who can be happy and proud to have written it, regardless of whether it’s published, or you’re not. I am.<\/p>\n

The extremely hard thing is to let people see it as it comes. Most people doing nano are NOT letting people see it. I may change my mind partway through, because I’m going to concentrate on not editing it or fixing problems, and it’s hard to do that when I know that people are going to read it. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I imagine that weeklyrob will seem sort of vacant starting Thursday, as I focus all my writing on my job (got to get paid) and the story. So if I don’t post anything until December, please forgive me and come back then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
