Nobody, darnit

Finished my required short story for this week. It's definitely a plotless literary one. There's a story, to be sure, but I can tell I've written something I don't possess all the tools to evaluate.
Maybe I'll write full on plotted stories later with the characters from my literary ramblings. The Tangoing Psychiatrist Versus the Aliens!

Anyway...Nano stats:

Finished:
Winecask Bellies and owl Wings- 1600 words
Dead Angel Diana: 400 words
It Takes One to Flamenco: 2200 words.

Total words written:
8217 words on 13 different stories.
Average: 747 words a day.
(I'm aiming for Half-Nano: 833 words a day)

I hit 50,000 words in Nanowrimo today. (Still have 30,000 or to go to novel's end). This means I get to do my favorite Nano thing -- encoding my novel to be uploaded and verified. I don't have to do this; I trust the Nano website. But it's fun! Ever since I accidentally replaced all the "o"s in The Starfever with the character's name, "Oxana," I've been using that every year. I just like having my manuscript look like this:

Mayboxana shoxana'd boxanaoxanan in Vitali's way. But why had hoxana boxanaoxanan sparoxanad? Had hoxana simply failoxanad toxana noxanaticoxana in timoxana?

(All o's and e's replaced with "oxana".)

Books which I am currently reading en masse:
(Feel free to add suggestions)

Heaven and Hell --Emmanuel Swedenborg
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell --William Blake
(And now I realize I should get The Great Divorce , by CS Lewis)

The Western Lands -- William Burroughs (I had to go buy this one, because the library copy smells like a moldy tent)
Naked Lunch --William Burroughs

Dhalgren --Samuel Delany

Diary of a Genius --Salvador Dalí
50 Secrets of Master Craftsmanship --Salvador Dalí
Selected Poems of Lorca and Jimenez
Poems of Saint John of the Cross

Alchemical texts from here.

Some book on the Mongols

I also got The Book of Thoth and a book of Thelemic rituals, and though I didn't get them specifically for Nano-inspiration, I'm sure they'll be helpful.

And I'm still reading Space Magic , David Levine's short story collection. I read one story every morning, since madness and mysticism isn't a good thing to pummel myself with right before a long stressful day at work.
