It turns out that the only thing I can think to blog about is writing. I have no idea if it's interesting to read about, but it's fun. It's my blog and I'll ramble if I want to, right? Right.
If no one's caught on yet, I am a major geek for my fictional characters. Creating, developing, and then messing with them is my favorite part of writing. But a warning, here. If you don't want to know just how much of an obsessive freak I am, go back now.

NaNo total
NaNoWriMo 2011
Eve of November: Three character introductions, unexpected and fun dialogue, a suddenly stagnant protagonist, and a six-inches-of-mud-stuck plot. 4,644
Hit Me Like You Mean It: Two unplotted fist fights, sexual tension between the wrong characters, pre-written dialogue taking on very different meanings, new character smell, research into motorcycles and some shady subjects, and finally drafting 90% of the beginning. 20,799
Total: 25,443
A few thousand short of my revised goal of 30k, but still an absolute success. Back on the writing track, ladies and gentlemen, thank god.
Next up: redrafting the opening, rewriting the first portion of the second part (the first thing I wrote, back in March 2010), then re-reading and fixing mad continuity errors. Oh yeah, and working in the character who has sudden prominence in a protagonist's life. After that, hopefully writing the third and final part.
I WILL HAVE A NOVEL SO HELP ME GOD. Even if I have no intent to publish it.
