!!!!

I was going to post about how today's the first day of NaNo, etc, but then I made the mistake of reading my f-list and NaNo just got trumped.

Via half my f-list: JOSS WHEDON RETURNS TO TELEVISION W/ELIZA DUSHKU (She played Faith on Buffy, for the Firelfy fans on my list who never watched Joss's earlier works.)

Basically,the show will be called Dollhouse, and the first seven eps have already been ordered up by FOX (which, I just have to say, Joss, what are you thinking?? AAAAAGH! I hope Firefly taught these guys something.) The premise is this girl, Echo, who's owned by a corporation that fulfills people's fantasies, and Echo is one of several people who are "models" the company can download any personality and skill set to, per the customer's orders. So Echo could be a highly trained prostitute, or she she could be a lethal assassin, depending on what the customer wants/needs. After each job her memory is wiped, and she waits for the next job, the next download. You see where this is going, right? Yes, Echo starts remembering things. Not perfectly, but enough to make her self aware and start questioning who she is.

For some reason, I keep feeling a Dark Angek vibe, and I'm totally cool with that.

When? We have no idea. The impending writer's strike may effect that. I'm just happy to see Joss doing something new for us.

Oh, yeah, and good luck to everyone doing NaNo. I must be off to work on my own words for today.

NaNo Day One

All right, first day of NaNo down, and I'm ahead on the word count, at least a little.

NaNo total:



70 Days of Sweat (and complete book) total:



As last year, I'll be posting chapters as a complete them under f-lock on the NaNo journal, charityz. If you want to read, friend it and I'll friend you back. I'll also occasionally post snippets here.

I may work a little more tonight, but more than likely I'll relax and watch some Ugly Betty. To complete my goal, I have to do approximately 2800 words/day for every "writing day" (doesn't include weekends, holidays, or the trip to Disneyland) between now and January 13th. At the moment, I'm happy being about 1400 words ahead of the game for tomorrow.

Hope everyone else doing Nano is having a successful start!
