Okay, so I have to make this fast cause it will be Tuesday in just over an hour.
So NaNoWriMo began on Saturday and I've been working on a new novel. I'm working hard on it, or at the very least, I did over the weekend. Today, not so much. I really need to work on schoolwork too.
I did pass my HTML project and the test classes. So that's good, right? Now I just have to pass my A+ certs.
In other news, Music Man will be beginning a new job on the 17th. It means he'll have to drive down the mountain but hey, employment is a good thing.
Okay so my daily word count will be in the sidebar. I'm keeping track of it and plan to every day.
If you're not familiar with what NaNoWriMo is, it's National Novel Writing Month. You spend 30 days working to write a 50,000 word novel. It's a lot of work. There's days where you question whether it's something you can do. There's days where you're sure you can't do it. There's days where you'd rather beat your head on the wall than write another word.
That's where catching little phrases like, "The world needs your novel" run through the mind. I first attempted NaNoWriMo in 2012. I'd wanted to do it for years but that was the first year, I actually remembered in time.
It was one of the most difficult, challenging yet rewarding goals of my life. It was a lot of work. I was occasionally (okay, often) cranky. I didn't want to stop in the middle of a thought so dinner was late, Music Man went to bed alone, the cat meowed cause he hadn't had nummies and the dog danced cause he really needed a walk.
I drank a lot of coffee and Mt. Dew. I snacked more than I should have.
I also wrote more than 50,000 words.
Then I did it again in 2013.
So my plan for November of 2014? I'm going for the threepeat!
So what are you doing for November?
