You may follow my progress, as outlined here, by clicking the pretty picture (to the right).
Why the hell is this in November again? Why not… April or something? I’m off to a slow start, but it’ll get better as the month wears on, I hope.
Having to type in the “total word count” every day is irritating, though, because each of my chapters is in a new document. I don’t think linearly, so I work on each piece as it comes to me, which means I could very well write in three or four sections per day.
*sigh* That’s just the way it is.
It’s… NaNoWriMo TIME

Yes, it is indeedy that time of year again; a time when we all come together and…
WRITE OUR ASSES OFF FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH
…in an effort to get down on paper an entire novel (50,000 words or more).
It’s NaNoWriMo: November 1st-30th “thirty days and nights of literary abandon!”
I will be doing things a little differently this year.
Here’s the thing. I’m working on an MFA… finishing it up (in theory) this semester. I’m writing book reviews and working on my manuscript like a crazy woman. I will be using NaNoWriMo this year to FINISH once and for all my manuscript and top off my book reviews and what not. That said, I will be keeping track of my word count (reviews + manuscript) and will consider it a success if I write 50,000 words all told.
Not technically participating, I guess, but I think it’s for a good cause, and if I tried to do NaNoWriMo the old fashioned way—writing 50,000 words on top of what I already have to do—I’d just keel over and die half way through, probably.
