Shoved to Them
It’s the beginning of November which means it’s time for NaNoWriMo! What? You didn’t know? You’ve never heard of it? It’s National Novel Writing Month!
It’s an annual writing challenge, a marathon for those of us who love to see our own words in print and wish that others would want to read them. The challenge is simple, write 50,000 words of a novel in the next 30 days. That breaks down to slightly more than 1600 words a day.
I must have lost my mind to undertake such a huge undertaking in the same month I’m having a baby, have houseguests coming for several weeks, cooking Thanksgiving dinner….oh yeah and have 3 family birthdays. So why am I doing it this year? LarryD from Acts of the Apostasy double dog dared me. There you have it…..my mature reason for working like a crazed woman this month. I’m still 12 years old and can’t turn down a dare.
I have an idea. I own a computer. I said I’d give it a shot. All that’s left is to actually write the thing. Ready…Set….Go!
