NaNoWriMo

Well, we’re just short of a week into NaNoWriMo and it’s been a blast.

So far, I have kept up with the word count, but I am normally pretty goo the first week. It’s week 2 where I start getting distracted and getting the “I’ll catch up tomorrow” disease.

I have a few friends joining me this year in the NaNo craze…hopefully we’ll all make it through to the end. There are even some well-known authors doing NaNo this year. Michael Stackpole being one. He’s got a great website…go check it out.

Gearing up with the girls

Today I met with a couple of friends (fellow emerging writers) that I haven’t seen all summer…It’s amazing how getting together with other writers can really amp you up when you need it. It was great seeing them again, and we had a lot to catch up on. Definitely something the three of us need to do more often. When we used to meet up, I always left super-charged with ideas and enthusiasm, something that I’ve been a bit dry on all summer.

But now I’m jazzed and ready to face NaNoWriMo this coming month. I have my outline…err…rather…uhm…scribbled notes that vaguely resemble something that could pass as an outline…and I’m just waiting for that November 1st starting line!
