NaNoWriMo

   As I've done for the past three years, this November I am participating in NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writers Month. A group challenge to write a novel with a minimum of 50,000 words in 30 days. It is tough. And I wish it was not in November because there is just so much going on in this month. Thanksgiving, all the prep for that, and then general holiday stuff. Decorating and things like that. I lost 4 writing days doing family things. That is not a bad thing, the family stuff was important and I enjoyed it (mostly;). But that equals almost 7,000 words behind schedule, and that gets intimidating. So now I am plugging away, trying to meet a challenge I set for myself. There is no other reason. I'm not obligated to finish. But now I've started a story and I want to see how it ends. So, I will plod on.
