I have no idea how busy I’ll be during November, and people are probably fed up me talking about this, but I know for a fact that I’m gunna try and spend every minute I can on writing this darned novel. This means I won’t be coming on here as often as I usually do, and when I do, I won’t be participating in anything.

• Anyone here from Exposure forums, you should already know that production on my tcg will be put on hold until December, hopefully keeping with the January 2009 opening. See this thread if you wanna help me out in any way.
• Anyone here from So Magical or The Institute, there is a note on my tradepost saying that I won’t be playing or answering any trades during Nov. I’ve sent Icera a hiatus form for So Magical, and probably will do the same for The Institute.
• Anyone here from the Q*Bee, I obviously won’t be answering any trades. Really I should quit, as I haven’t actually done anything on there in ages. But the bee*bee*s is like, an amazing place. =[ Hopefully when I come back I'll try and sort my quilt out. Did you know my server is messed up? I've been planning a radical quilt rebuild for ages, but I have no motivation whatsoever. Meh.
• Any teachers from my school; I'VE FINISHED MY IT. I'VE FINISHED MY RE. Please don't give me anything else. And I hate you for giving me an English exam on the first day back. =[ Suck.

Good luck to Michelle and all those others who added me as a friend on NaNo. Possibly expect buggings and rants from me. =]

I’m off to play Neopets now until 6 o’clock. haha. Oh and, I don’t care about the fact that he was already in one DW episode, or the fact that he’s already playing Merlin, or the fact that no ones even considered him before, but hell, COLIN MORGAN FOR ELEVENTH DOCTOR. =]

How many days til NaNoWriMo? 3.

So what usually happens to silly people who don’t remember to make backups of their novel preparations? THE COMPUTER BREAKS. yeah. You heard me. My computer won’t start - some problem with my hard drive, the hard drive with my beloved storyline spreadsheet on. God fucking help me, I’m screwed.

Is this a sign? A warning? Is this NaNo punishing me for being too prepared and using a storyline I’d already began working on?

Hopefully though, we can take my hard drive out and put it into my dad’s computer in attempt to retrieve some of my files. But I just know that the one folder I won’t be able to get back will be my NaNo folder, which, as well as having my spreadsheet in, had all my character building excercises and stuff in. All I’ve got left guaranteed is all the crap from past versions of the story which I could use that unfortunately has great big nooby holes in from where I hadn’t done enough plot thinking or character building.

Meh. I can remember roughly most of the plot, but it’s still nice to have something complete to work with. I was getting all excited at the fact that because I was fully prepared, I was actually going to finish this novel once and for all. If I fail NaNo these characters are gonna bug me for the rest of my life. Seriously, they’re annoying little buggers.

Help me? What I need is for someone to say they had a copy of everything on my hard disk that I can have. I mean, I may even have lost my music!!@!11@1!! Stressed. =[

Edit: IT’S FINE. We managed to get the drives into my dad’s computer and I went mad and saved everything I could onto his hard drive. I now has my stuff back. I’M SOO HAPPY. You shoulda seen me before; I was pacing the room, cursing everything, annoyed out of my mind. I even started screaming when Cedric Diggory died in Harry Potter (typical that I had to be reading that chapter, haha) I take things way too seriously. =P

• When Avril Lavigne’s songs were all summery and nice.
• When Benji Madden had spiky hair.
• When Bob The Builder released a single.
• When Atomic Kitten were my favourite band because of this song.
• When Frankie Sandford and Rochelle Wiseman from The Saturdays were still 12 and singing amazing kiddy songs.

I WANT 2001/02 BACK. =[

(People not living in Britain might not have a clue about some of the things I’m on about. xD)
