What is this "puh-loht" you speak of?"</b></center><br /><br />Expect snippets of writing, character sheets, ideas, random babble and panic related entries, none of which will be remotely worth reading. Also, I'll be trying to remember to post a daily word count. Expect me to forget frequently. You can check the word count meter at the bottom if you're interested.<br /><br />At this point, integrity in terms of knowing I'm doing my best to write something really good has taken a flying leap out the window.

I should have. :(<br /><br />At the time, I was trying to think of a title for my NaNoWriMo blog, and since I'm going for 'psychocreepy' as a theme, this seemed like a good omen. Apparently it was, since I did actually <i>complete</i> Nano that year. For your reading pleasure, the famous (horribly gory) scene from that year: The only part of the novel still viewable to the public, can be found <a href="http://polarishotel.livejournal.com/3361.html" rel="nofollow">here</a></font></td><br /></tr><br /></table><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/widget/graph/440987.png" /><br /><br /><i></i><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=polarishotel&ditemid=16055" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
