Scroll down to read about the personality test that had me gaping about its accuracy...


But first: NANOWRIMO 2009 OMMMMGGG
That's right - National Novel Writing Month has arrived.
The month in which I, and all those other NaNoers out there sit down revving with ideas (or not), drink enough coffee to kill a goat, and spew out 50,000 words of vaguely decent yarn which will eventually be a novel, published for free in paperback form by some awesome people.
IS ANYONE OUT THERE AS EXCITED AS ME ABOUT THIS?!

Quick outline of my crazy voyage-about-to-begin:
Name:The Shadow King
Main characters: Fynnigan Felix, charming teenage thief, handsome and a bit of a player, no sense of duty. Evelyn Whitehart, not as pretty as her name, selfish, awkward and uptight. Hates Fynn, Fynn can't get rid of her, they have to save the city. Happy times.
Vague plot outline?: Ohh I dunno. Lots of magic, explosions, discovered secrets and some humour if I'm lucky. (Not a chance).

My ideal career is to be a writer, and my brain is often flooded with squillions of ideas which more often than not end up stretching into the beginning of a 30-odd page... thing... and then I let go of it. I've started 25. Finished 3.

NaNo suits me perfectly - the drive, the deadline, and the utter stupidity of it all. Stupid things suit me. Several personality tests have told me that a) I love a crisis because I like to fight my way out of it b) I can take criticism but don't like being told what to do and c) my personality matches that of Spike in Cowboy Bebop. OMG. Enough said.

The scarily accurate personality test is: [link] - and I mean it, they were spot on with me. My type is ESTP - it'll only make sense if you read about the types. You have to sign up, but it's free and safe, and well worth it! You really find out about yourself.

So what are you guys like?
