Panic Time! How are you guys doing?

[jupitersings.livejournal.com]

Regardless of where you are we now have less than 48 hours until the official start of NaNoWriMo.

It is officially panic crunch time.

Are you ready? What type of last minute preparations are you doing? (if any)

Better yet, what type of shiny things have you found to help you procrastinate getting ready? Have you spent hours that were meant to be for plotting cruising tvtropes? Get online intending to research and plot but instead went on omegle to troll strangers? Or have you just sat down to start planning when... oh man... you suddenly feel so hungry and snackish that you have the odd desire to bake a cake!

So glad you caught them both. ♥

Scrivener (http://literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html) is a writing software that was previously only available for Mac. They've released a public beta for Windows just in time for NaNoWriMo, so I thought I'd try it out. It's gotten rave reviews for being one of the best writing softwares out there.

O.O Looks complicated just from the picture. Also, I am a Taurus and a creatue of habit, change does not come easily. It sounds interesting, but I panic on the inside when I consider moving from Word to anything else. ::flailflail:: So I will consider, and probably try it in five years or so. >.>

Haha, that's understandable.

I'm always interested in trying new things (is that an Aries quality? I have no idea), but I know I have Word to fall back on should the beta explode on me. (*knock on wood*)

also, *gigglesnort* at your icon. I love that fanart. You're in the fandom aren't you? I recognize your LJ name.

This icon has inspired crack!fic the world over. :D

I'm not sure it's so much of a "yay, new things!" for Aries as it is more of a "try everything and if it explodes I still have the old things" ... er... thing. ^_^

I might be in the fandom. Depends on who wants to know. >.> <.< I didn't do nothin'! Except perhaps commit the sin of fic, but I have it on good authority that this is a sin easily forgiven.

That is a perfect description of how things work in my brain. Yay!

And you ARE in the fandom. *shines giant spotlight on you* I've read some of your fic! I'm just a lowly lurker who has nothing to contribute (yet). >_>

[celestinenox]

Why, hello, Arthur. :D You're looking angry and dapper this morning.

GAH! ::flees spotlight:: I knew I should have remained a lurker!

But, uh, yay for reading my fic! :D

Hehe, you're welcome.

Also, mind if I add you? I could always use more writing buddies.

[celestinenox]

I do not mind at all. I'll probably add you back, too. :D
