Would it be Nano-cheating to add the start of a short story that's totally and completely unrelated to the file my NaNovel is in to count the words? Because I've had two short story ideas in the last hour, one the 'filling out' of an idea-without-a-plot that I can't figure out if it's original to me or not (alien traders buy our art. On the way out of the system, they blow up the sun to provide their ship with propulsion) and one that popped into my head while listening to Christmas music. ("Now In Flesh Appearing". Two guys, a time machine, a video camera, and Bethlehem)
I'm the last person to give advice on cheating. ;-) This whole month has been one big cheat. Though...I could have cheated more if I'd included notes in my word count. Mebbe I should add them.
Argh...in other news, UPS still hates me. Had a package to be delivered today, and though they know to take Hair and Ecurbh's stuff to the store, they apparently have no clue what to do with my packages. If I can't find a way to leave a note for them tomorrow in a place where they actually FIND it, they may send that package back.
