The last few days have been beautiful and warm. Lots of
golden sunshine this weekend. NaNo or
no, the idea of sitting in my office at the computer has been an anathema to
me. I spend over thirty hours a week sitting at that blasted computer and
that’s just for work. I probably spend another twenty dealing with
blogging—probably more. So, while I have been writing I've chosen to savor the
sunshine this weekend and spent quite a bit of time outside (especially with our first snow in a matter of days, sigh) and took the time
to relax and rest. It’s been grand.
I have been having fun with my NaNo story. It’s been in my
head for sometime. I've researched and gotten the feel of the world. It wasn't my intention to write it as a NaNo entry and given my current schedule, I wasn't even planning on taking part this year. However, many in my writing
group (I've mentioned them before and we've been together for over six years),
do the NaNo every year. Let me say, moaning about my schedule cuts no ice with
them, lol! So, with a strong boot in the ass encouragement from them;
I’m in.
Realistically, I doubt I will get 50k done in November but
I will get a substantial amount done which is what I need to do. It will also get
me back into taking the time to write fiction daily and buying out the
time I have—usually early morning—to add to the story. It does help me stay on track
knowing others are doing the same. It gives incentive to keep going even when I get stuck, like I am right now. I put that section aside and am working on another scene while my mind mulls over the other section. Of course
at the rate I’m going I might hit 50k by Christmas. J
