Monday Morning Ramblings

I don't have any set topic for today and I've got a lot of things on my mind so I think a rambling post is in order.

I'm up way too early and having an anxiety attack. But the good kind. I'm waiting for tickets for the American Songbook series to go on sale. Technically, they go on sale tomorrow, but not if you like their Facebook page! So I'm just sitting here waiting. I have a hunch they'll go on sale at 10, but since they haven't actually said so, I must stalk the page all morning. I know, I'm a complete spaz. But if I get tickets to this particular show, I get to plan a really awesome trip to New York for my three year muse-iversary! (Since, you know, last year's was so successful and everything). Hey, when the universe tells you to do something, you don't question it.

The great thing about being up early, though, is that I get to watch Buffy.

Speaking of vampires, I guess I'll talk about my NaNo progress. As you can probably tell from my abundant enthusiasm, it's not going very well. I've had trouble focusing lately. Between that and work, I'm about 5,000 words behind of where I should be. If I can get back the same momentum I had on the first day, I should be able to get back on track. Right now it's kind of discouraging, though.

I realized something last night that could potentially be pretty awesome. I'm getting close to my 100th post here (this one is the 85th). And if (and this is a pretty big if) I post on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until I get there, my 100th post would be on Monday, December 16. And well, because I'm a spaz, remember? Why don't I just reschedule that for the day before, December 15, because guess what day that is! Yup, it's Jordan's birthday. If I could have my 100th post on my muse's birthday, well, that would be pretty damn awesome. The only problem is that I actually have to stick to my blogging schedule. I can't miss a single post. It's going to be tricky. It's going to take a lot of ideas and a lot more motivation. Because, that's right, the universe has spoken!

Do you think I can stick to my blogging schedule? Anyone else being a spaz about anything? Falling behind on NaNo? Or just watching Buffy? Crickets?

  1. You can get caught up on NaNo, and blog like crazy. I believe in you! Just ask if you want some terrible ideas from yours truly.

    What is this concert thing of which you speak? Is it like a music festival? In New York?

    1. I only just learned about it this year, what with my reading Broadway.com buzz every single day, but it runs from January through April at Lincoln Center in New York, and there's a different performer(s) for each show. All kinds of singers and songwriters. :)

    2. Interesting... And I'm guessing you live somewhere moderately nearby.

    3. I live close to Boston but I make frequent trips down there. I'm just going to one of the shows but I'd like to stay for a few days. My book takes place in NYC so I kinda want to do things based around it since it'll be exactly three years since I started it. Yeah, I'm a spaz.

  2. I think you can stick to your blogging schedule! *sis-boom-bah*(or whatever a cheerleader would say... =) I've googled book topics to blog about before and gotten some ideas that way- stuff'll come to you on its on too, I'm sure.

  3. Make it so!
    Don't worry - there are several bands and shows that I will stalk the site until tickets open for the fans. (Like TSO.) Hope you scored good ones.

  4. Buffy is awesome, but they all look soooooo young now! I have never waited for tickets for anything - usually because I never realise great tickets are on sale until it's too late :-(

    1. Usually if it's something I really want to see I know about it way before the tickets go on sale, cause, y'know, I'm a spaz and everything...
