NaNoWriMo – again.

The NaNoWriMo starts at midnight tonight.  That stands for National Novel Writing Month and it occurs every November. 

The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in one month.  You’re not expected to write well or perfectly or maybe even with clear cognitive thought.  Just to force 50,000 words out.

December is National Novel Editing Month.  Haahaha.  Just to save you from doing the math, that’s 1,667 words per day, or using the industry standard of 250 words per page, it’s 6.7 pages per day.

For the last several years the Sisters have participated but never completed the task.  This year, I’m signed-up up and I have every intention of doing my best.  It will be hard since I will be spending 3 days in Disneyland during the middle of it, but I’m gonna try.

Dalton and Olivia are counting on me.

I’m considering putting a word count on the bar to the right under What We’re Reading Now.  Will it push me to write more because you’re all keeping an eye on me or will it just stress me out?  Who knows.  I think I’ll put it up – sometimes the pressure helps – I’m always more productive with a scary deadline.
