Wow! November sure went fast didn't it?
About a week before the start of November I signed up for NaNoWriMo.
National (though it's actually international) Novel Writing Month.
Setting myself the goal of writing a 50 000 word novel in 30 days.
What was I thinking?
Certainly not that I'd get called in to work in the library for 12 of those days.
Certainly not that I'd discover that working 9 am to 5 pm, even only 3 days a week, is hard work when you have a husband, two kids, a dog, a household to run and a part time job running a business from home!
Certainly not that my daughter would have end-of-year ballet concerts to get to, with all the extra rehearsals that entails.
Certainly not that the closer and closer we got to December, the busier and busier life would get.
Now that I think about it, what was I thinking!?!
The idea of NaNoWriMo is to write a novel quick and dirty.
Just get the words down on the page.
No deleting.
Just do it!
As of today, I have written 4 609 words.
So you could call my NaNoWriMo attempt an epic fail!
Or you could say that I gave it a go, made a great start, and can continue writing whenever I want to.
I don't have to limit myself to a November deadline.
Let's think positive, shall we?
