My Goals:
The goal of NaNoWriMo is 50,000 words by November 30th. That's 1667 words per day. Take a moment to jot down your other goals. Maybe you need to write a little more to feel a sense of accomplishment. Maybe you need to call your mom, your high school teacher, your agent, and let them know what you're doing. Maybe you owe it to yourself to spend a night in a fancy hotel on November 29th and your husband needs to watch the kids. Whatever your goals for the next month are, share them! Writing them down will make them happen. ... And now, make the commitment:"I, (name), take the Second Life version of the NaNoWriMo challenge, to be my obsessive commitment for the next month, to have and to drive me and my family and my acquaintances completely crazy from this day until December 1st in the afternoon when I wake up from a nap; for better or for worse but hopefully better because I sure don't want a crummy novel after all this work; for richer (ah yeah!), for poorer (no way! I'm the next Sidney Sheldon), in the mental sickness bordering on derangement for undertaking this insane idea, to love and to cherish and to write my little fanny off from this day forward until I write the best novel of my life." You can write better vows than this one. Do it now and go to bed. You have a busy day tomorrow.

What behavior trait of cats makes you crazy? What would your sign say if you needed to beg? Where would you go if you lost everything?

Two poems by Wolfgang Glinka written whilst in hospital recovering from a brain haemorrhage and two brain seizures on the 30th October 2008.
Pain
No longer brain centred,
Now pain focused;
That central throbbing core,
Fractured, nerve exposed, unthinking.
Pain - a golden orb -
Sharp spasm of extremity.
No diagnosis, no exploration,
Just itself - the pure, brutal issuer of challenges.
Dive into it, screaming and punching;
Drug it into obeisance;
Accept it and rise above it;
Face it, discover it, belittle it.
Patience
Every orifice offered up;
Every vein object of vampiric attention;
No internal organ free from scrutiny;
No flesh too private for examination.
All bodily fluids test-tubed and analysed.
The whole body reduced to chemistry -
Biopsied, measured, graphed, discussed.
A case history, an occupied bed, a statistic.
So patiently lie there -
The victim,
The case,
The patient.
Recipient of care, concern, dedication,
No mere anatomy, you..
The passive half of that profound symbol
of man's humanity to man.
Wolfgang Glinka
