I just got back from "Substance Abuse Training" which is an annual requirement at my particular workplace. It's three hours of boredom. The first presentation was called, "How to Get High" and was about all the natural "highs" you can pursue instead of chemical dependancies. So, with their encouragement, I spent the three hours writing out character sketches and outline ideas for Nano. I'm feeling pretty happy.

Oh, and I learned a new word: Actshiality
This is the Bal'more/DC urban dialect version of the word "actuality".

I need to figure out what to write for NaNo. With the class I’m taking this semester it might be hard to squeeze in. I dunno. At least I’m not changing jobs in the middle of the month this time.

I have resolved to at the least start NaNo, we’ll see if I can keep up. Maybe I will make my character be a graduate student and have her write a term paper on computer security. Since it has to be at least 5000 words, well, there’s a start....

*Takes more notes* Hey wait... you did not tell us anything about 'how'!

So what do you normally put in a character sketch anyway? I have been noticing that weak character differentiation is a problem for me.
