NaNoWriMo

[farla]

So my laptop has been rendered a paperweight due to the power cord breaking and my not having a sharp enough knife to cut it open (this is probably for the best, really).

I tend to see the word count of NaNo as the main point, so I'd already written the opening to the story I intended to do...safely stored away on the laptop.

My idea of posting a story during NaNo will have to wait a few days.

Of course, since sane priorities are for crazy people, I'll start typing the next segment anyway, rather than do real work.

Snap delenda est.

I took Latin in high school. My teacher would tell us all kinds of stories, and the phrase is from that. Snap must be destroyed!

(Rome was rivals with Carthage, and one senator really, really hated Carthage and wanted it gone so he would end everything he said - everything - with Carthage must be destroyed. "So in conclusion, we should lower the taxes on in the southwest this season. Carthage must be destroyed." And then they destroyed Carthage. I think the point he was making was about tense, but I was busy thinking about how I suddenly wanted to become a senator just to do that. Awesome.)
