Finding serenity in #17
November is nanowrimo. That's National Novel Writing Month. It's only mid-October, but I've decided once and for all, I'm going to try it. One hour a day, every single day of November. Because I have always found such joy in writing, true writing, not just letters and memos and emails and crap that junk up my day. I have no idea what the story is, although I've had a couple of thoughts along the way. It might be crap. In fact, it has a pretty good possibility of being total crap. And I'm certain it won't be done by December 1st. But I think if I can commit to 30 days, I'll be 30 hours into crossing off #17. The sweater will just have to wait.

I'm totally excited for you!!!! It's completely do-able at one hour a day. I divided out the 50,000 words into 30 days and then I aimed for that word count as my daily goal. Here's a tip: BACK THAT SUCKER UP!! And then MAKE A COPY OF IT! Email it to yourself so you have a third copy too. Three chapters can be gone with a chewed up power cord when your laptop dies because you didn't realize it was not plugged in. I'm just saying. Take many, many, many precautions.
Wahoo! What an exciting leap! I hope you'll share some of what you write.
