nature does not hurry

Went to my regional NaNo kickoff party this afternoon. It was nice to put some faces to usernames, and the games were fun. :D

As for my prep work...well, I almost done with my outline. I'm doing notecard plotting, a tactic I picked up from a friend that's based on Holly Lisle's Notecarding: Plotting Under Pressure article. Very loosely based on, since my cards are blank except for a brief action at the top. I'm at the stage where I'm ordering my notecards. Once I have the order, I'll flesh them out with a bit more information. And then as I'm writing, I'll add word count and other notes. So I guess I better work on my shorthand since the cards little 3x5ers.

(The cats are fascinated by the cards and think I am playing a game with them. So far, they have not attacked the cards I have scattered around me in a semicircle, but I know that look in their eyes. It's only a matter of time. Though I do have to give Cricket credit. Ms. Paper Fiend is showing remarkable self-restraint in the face of so! much! fun! paper!)

(Yes, I will be sharing cat stories. But only the entertaining ones. :p)
