October 31 - Warm Up

[age.livejournal.com]

Well, it's been one heck of a ride, let me tell you. And this is just the beginning.

I want to thank everyone who's stuck with me over the last month. You guys have been truly awesome and some of the stuff you've come up with blows me away. I am truly not worthy when compared to your sheer brilliance. But now we move hand-in-hand from Warm-Ups into NaNo, and I hope that we'll keep this comradeship going. It's the only way to survive the next 30 days, as we veterans know.

So, without further ado, and mostly so you can get going with the final prep work for midnight tonight in whatever time zone you're in (and to those of our literary compatriots who are currently living Day 1 of NaNo, I salute you!), I give you our absolutely final Warm Up of 2007.

• The Protagonist: Iris, the psychoanalyst (write for 3 minutes before moving on to...)


• His/Her Goal: to be king of the heap (write for 4minutes before moving on to...)


• The Obstacle:the bartender from Seattle (write for 5 minutes before moving on to...)


• The Action: loses weight (write for 4 minutes.)

No natural conclusion? Take an extra 3 minutes today to wrap things up.



Now, I mentioned iconses a while back, and I have decided that instead of making icons for those who've done all the warm-ups, I'm just going to let everyone who tried their hand at these pick one and wear it proudly for the next 24 hours or however long you wish.


If you're taking one, adding a note that you are in your Warm Up rep would be lovely, but is not required. Credit, however, is required and the credit goes to forestgraphics. Thanks goes to my friend Cat for making these for us!

Thanks again, everyone! Catch you on the other side of November 1st!
