The desk is getting messier and instead of cleaning it, I took time out last Sunday to watch the Seattle Seahawks play against the New York Giants. It was worth the time away from NaNo just to see Marshawn Lynch at his finest and I can always clean my desk later.
For those that don't know, Marshawn is the star Running Back for the Seattle Seahawks football franchise. He doesn't like to talk to the media. He actually doesn't like to talk much, period. His focus: getting the job done.*
Something us NaNo folks understand.
Here he is in his own words:
"Beast Mode, it's part of the lifestyle," Lynch said, via SBNation. "It's pretty much self-explanatory. It gets thrown around loosely, I mean, all over. It's not set to one specific thing like we're football players or basketball players. Just if you are in your everyday life and you feel like you just accomplished something big that you had going on, then that's Beast Mode. It's an accomplishment, that you put yourself through something to get something better out of it. I feel that that's Beast Mode."
In summary, finishing NaNo = Beast Mode. Go me! Go Hawks!
