I must be.
First, I'm in the middle of editing two manuscripts.
And I'm doing National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) which means 50,000 words in 30 days. It does not include time off for Thanksgiving, my anniversary or my birthday.
After all my prep work--character sketches, outline--I've decided to go with something else. So that means tonight, while son fences for 2 hours, and whatever time I can grab tomorrow with all the Trick-or-Treaters, I'll be doing another outline, more character sketches.
I hope my family still loves me by December 1st.
Check back in; I don't know how much I'll be posting with NaNo, but I'll make an attempt to keep up.
For anyone else doing this insanity, (like Shannon Delany and a few other YA writers I know), good luck! May the word count always be higher than you hoped!

LOL Yeah...you're definitely crazy. LOL Good luck with NaNoWriMo. My guild and I are doing something called MiniWriMo. The goal is to write 250 words (or more) every day. The main focus isn't on word count but on quality. So I'm looking forward to that. All I get is 1 hour of absolute quiet time every day so this is something I can definitely commit to for the entire month of November.
ReplyDeleteI find that it's just making the every day commitment- not getting sidetracked with dumb or more fun things.
