Buckbeak, please don't chew on the placemats.

SICK BLOG, BAH DE BAH.
I'm rewatching The Black Cauldron because I'm feeling awful and I can't sleep.

One of the good things about being sick is that between sleeping and general sickly activities, I have a bit of extra time to work on my NaNoWriMo novel. I'm quite behind since I started so late, but I'm making good progress every day and I am absolutely determined to reach the goal of 50,000 words by November 30.

And hey, if I don't reach the goal, I'll have an excellent start on a novel I'd like to finish one day. All it means is that I have a giant step in the right direction. Or should I say the 'write' direction...

Note: Please excuse the horrible pun used above.

In other news, there is a hippogriff on my dining room table. Yes, a hippogriff. My family is hosting a Harry Potter party this weekend, so I have lots of preparations to make. There are pygmy puffs being crocheted, chocolate frogs being made, butterbeer recipes being googled, and plenty of nerdy mail-ordered paraphernalia that needs to be put up.

Not gonna lie, there's a lot of stuff that we own already that's being displayed. I'm just really nervous about my Marauder's Map sitting out... it's a heart attack waiting to happen.

Soooo on that somewhat shameful note, I'm gonna go. I have a lot of writing to do.

P.S. 8 days and 10 hours until HP7 comes out! WOOOO.
