may be a bit less bloggy, temporarily...

 

Am actually editing my novel.

Shocking, I know.

Have no idea why this started back up today,

but it just felt like the thing to do.

Maybe spring, and today's flood of sunshine, are making me

energetic and foolishly optimistic (which really helps). =)

Or, maybe I just miss it.

Either way, I hope you are well, enjoying nature,

and I vow to id the flowers from last week's Mumday

before too scandalously long.

P.S. Probably a needless post. The month I actually wrote the novel, last November, I posted 46 times, so... babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble....

NaNoWriMo... gulp!

  
I signed up.

It's not for 5 months.

I'm already nervous.

In case you've not heard of it, NaNoWriMo, a.k.a. National Novel Writing Month, is an event one can sign up for (at www.nanowrimo.org) and attempt to write a 50,000-word novel in one month. If you accomplish that # of words in a novel-like form by the deadline, it's nothing you've already written (save plot sketching, research, etc.), you did it all by yourself, and it's not one word 50,000 times, you are a winner.

What you win is your draft novel.

Part of their point is that SO many people think that "one day" they will write a novel. For most people, that one day never arrives. You have to MAKE it happen.

So, yeah.

All I'm committed to is receiving their e-mails between now and then, but I have had an idea for a story in my mind for a while now, so this may be what I need to get it done. At least TRY.

I've even planned a trip in October to do research...

=)

So, anyone else wanna join me on this NaNoWriMo adventure?
