So November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The point is to write an entire novel within 30 days. It is very ambitious and I'm not going to attempt it. There is not way I could accomplish that feat while working, trying to make Christmas presents and doing all the other stuff that I do. Which isn't a whole lot. I just like to try to lead a slow and simple life. But what I will be attempting is writing for 1 hour each day in November.
About three years ago I had a few extremely vivid dreams that I could not get out of my head. I can still remember them very clearly, and just like the cliche, I decided that these dreams would be a wonderful book. I began writing and have about 60 pages worth of book finished. But I got stuck and haven't worked on it for about two years. I kind of just put the story on the back burner. So for the the month of November I am moving it to the front burner again and will concentrate on writing something for just an hour a day. It doesn't seem so hard. We'll have to see how I do! Wish me luck!
This sounds like a great goal. I'm sending you lots of good wishes as you concentrate on your writing! Woo hoo. And thanks for your recent comments on my blog about "not rushing." Ah, this is still a daily practice for me. I appreciate you taking the time to share.
ReplyDeleteDid you finish the 50,000? I was able to do it last year and this year. It's fun.
