Greetings and salutations, fellow Gooch.

I see that this site got posted on the Nanowrimo homepage at last. Visitors from there are very welcome, obviously, seeing as how I'm an attention whore. My idea was to let the story take me somewhere, so my working title of Computer Dating is for Losers may not be appropriate. I think it attracts attention, though, so maybe I should keep it until I have a good reason to change. A friend communicated that maybe not everyone would understand this title is facetious, and "I'm not a loser!" but not in those words exactly. So...it's facetious. I don't believe the sentiment.

I bought a desk and chair at IKEA today so now there's no excuse. I'm going to read what #1 Sox Fan Stephen has to say to me tonight while the kids are ringing the doorbell, and then tomorrow it's ON. Problem is, tomorrow I'm mostly booked. Same with Tuesday because of this, whaddya callit, election.

Practicality rears its ugly head.

Q: Would you say you have a plethora of good ideas?
A: I don't think so. My really good idea isn't substantial enough to carry any sort of plot, and while I think plot is overrated, probably I might want to have one in my first attempt at a novel, haphazard as it may be.

Q: So, what's the problem?
A: There are a lot of good stories to tell about online dating misadventures, but they don't really go anywhere, unless it leads to meeting the right person who you commit to, but I don't see that as very interesting, and it certainly doesn't seem easy to write about. So I'm going to combine some other elements and decrease the importance of that aspect. So I guess overall it's progress, although it seems like I have less than I did yesterday, it's just that yesterday's substance to my idea was an ILLUSION.

"nothing left for me to do but dance!"

The Nebulous Concept that is my novel...

My ideas, and myriad they are, are going to be tied together by the story of a dude not not not unlike me describing excruciating experiences with internet dating. See, it writes itself!
