So the first 48 hours of so of nano have been just fine. Meg and I toasted each other with our sparkling grape juice and got to work right at midnight. We wrote together for about a half hour, and we each got around 800 words. I wrote a little more after she left, and by the time I went to bed, I had already reached my word count. I continued to write after I slept and went to class, but now, two days into it, I'm afraid there's been a change of plans. I think I've decided to do nonfiction -- I had wanted to do it over the summer, and had planned on it. But that's before I had to write my autobio for class; I thought fiction would be good in addition. But come to think of it, I really do feel that at this point in my life, right now, the best thing for me, is to write nonfiction. I want to write a full-length autobio. I look at it this way: chances are, I'll never be motivated to write a book length autobio again (unlesss I do it in another year's nano, but why not do it when it's fresh in my mind?), and I can always write fiction another time. So, as soon as I convince myself fully, I will switch over to nonfiction. I wrote almost 5k of my autobio last night and this morning, so I won't even be behind. We'll see.

In other news: Nano (aka Schizo) and Ace are the best, smartest hamsters ever!! I just adore them already.
