a.k.a. NaNoWriMo
a.k.a. National Novel Writing Month
a.k.a. 30 days of insanity as I attempt to write a 50,000 word novel amidst the 'normal' insanity known as school, housework, keeping Husband happy, work, music, etc.
So, yeah. I'm insane. Someone should really institutionalize me now, because even I'm not sure what I'm thinking...
This is my fourth year doing NaNoWriMo. I've met or surpassed the goal twice now, and only once was my novel a complete failure (I was 14 and really had no idea what I was getting myself into...).
This year I have a pretty good plot and for a change it's original fiction. I may post bits of it here for readers to review as I go along.
The only trouble seems to be that I'm not in much of a writing mood this year. It's day 8 and I'm only at 1447 words, when I should be somewhere near the 10K mark. But life has become increasingly more complicated and stressful, and I really don't have the ambition like I've had in the past to dedicate myself to these characters for 30 days. Real life is strange enough at the moment, never mind bouncing around in other people's heads...
I don't know... maybe sticking with it will be good for me. Maybe it'll help me to get some of my pent up emotions out on the page, rather than keeping them locked tightly away.
We'll see...
