Haven’t seen much from me have you?  Nope, why?  I’ve been busy and I decided to do NaNoWriMo this year, my first year ever.  What’s  NaNoWriMo you say?  NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month.  Every November wannabe writers use the month to prove to themselves that they can indeed write a novel.  The goal is to write 50k words in the thirty days.  Now it most likely won’t be your best piece of work and you may need more then 50k to tell the story but it’s a good start.  December (or whenever you finish) is when you can edit the novel and start on your second draft (Just because you wrote 50k doesn’t mean they are good or that anyone wants to read them)  So far I have found the energy around NaNo very helpful and I’m doing something I have always wanted to do.  I’m not a writer, I just do this as a hobby but now I’m proving to myself that if I wanted to write more, I could.  I’m already pretty far ahead which is funny because this may be one of the busiest Novembers ever.

Some people doing this I see are also posting to their blog everyday, I can’t imagine that.  My ML told me she is also participating in BlogMo, national blog writing month, ack, no thanks.

I have also made myself a  NaNoWriMo cheerleader, I want to give a lot of support to everyone working on their novels.  I think it’s a great thing to know you are right there with other people in the struggle and I know when I am cheered on it helps, plus I like being cheery.

See you next month.
