1. And now a perspective from a NaSkeWriMo Slacker

    Hi guys! Guess who’s only written 2 sketches for NaSkeWriMo. IT’S ME!

    I wrote my first sketch mid-month, and quickly followed it up the next day with my second. And then I stopped!

    In August, I had big plans to get my shit together and follow the mission of NaSkeWriMo - a sketch a day! Then I went on vacation during the first week of September. And then I came back. And then NOTHING HAPPENED. Except for new TV. Can we discuss the fact that Eddie Cibrian in “The Playboy Club” sounds exactly the same, cadence-wise, as Don Draper? Oh, am I the only one watching “The Playboy Club” while the rest of you are busy writing your daily sketches? Oh, okay. No big deal.

    Now it’s the end of September, and I am making my own small goal to write one more today. I already have 2 sketches with which I’m very happy. If I complete my own tiny goal, I’ll have 3 new sketches that I wouldn’t have written this month. And because I am hardly a perfectionist, I feel like, hey, that’s pretty good.

    One thing I have done this month is keep a list of sketch ideas. I’ve numbered a list 1 through 30, and I’ve filled in 16 ideas. I spend a lot of time during the year waiting to have interesting, original ideas. I spend even more time trying to remember the interesting, original ideas I’ve had and then immediately forgotten. In addition to my goal of writing one more complete sketch, I’m also going to work on filling out my list of 30 ideas.

    So that’s my assignment to all you other NaSkeWriMo Slackers! So you haven’t written 30 sketches? Make a list of titles/ideas for the remaining number. Then take your time and get them written. You’ll have already done the hard part!

    My other assignment to you is to watch the season finale of Doctor Who on BBC America this Saturday, because I’m going to need to discuss it with you and I mean, Jesus, what on earth is going to happen to River Song?
