Scriblets.

Just some random bits of dialogue that aren't gonna fit in my novel:

I'm just not sure whether or not I believe in the Agnostica Bunny, but I figure that's a good thing.

and then

So there you have it, I've somehow screwed the whole situation up and I don't know how to fix it. You never seem to get into these problems, so I'm asking you, what would you do if you were me?

If I were you? I'd be standing where you are wishing to hell I was me, because I never get into these sorts of problems.

No, seriously.

Seriously? How the hell should I know how to fix this kinda mess. Like you just said, this shit never happens to me.

Fall down now.

By my calculations I've now been awake for 27 hours. I think its past time that I went to bed. Still, I don't think I've done too terribly bad. I only got about 1600 words written for NaNoWriMo today, so I haven't caught up by any means, but I did manage to get most of the way past one of the major sticking points. It was a scene early on in the novel that I put in specifically to prove to myself that I was up to the challenge I had set myself. If I couldn't get that simple scene to work, the rest of the novel was pointless to write.

It has taken me all day to get half-way through it, but its actually starting to flow. I am now confident that I can finish the thing, and continue with the novel. Yay me.

For my next trick I shall attempt to sleep for 12-14 hours and awake early enough tomorrow to be able to claim that I have rotated my hours, but not so early that going to the NaNoWriMo meetup will be out of the question. At least, that's the plan.

First though, slumber!
