Well, I am awake. I don’t want to be but I am. My pillow stills beckoning, the glow of the laptop casting ethereal blue shadows across the headboard, Val still mostly asleep, tolerant at my side. It is the morning of NaNoWriMo and the beginning of my decent down the rabbit hole.
This year for NaNo, I have set a hefty goal for myself: Complete two (2) books in one (1) month. Yes, you read that right. Yes, I know, I’m a lunatic.
I have two novels, one that has been eating my brain since last year, and one that is on backburner, rearing it’s horror/thriller genre head occasionally for the stray idea and notation.
Looking forward to our Thursday night Word Whimsy meetings.
For those doing the actual, official NaNo meetings from 9am-12noon on Saturdays we are not going to make it today. We have friends coming over, homework, and housework that got neglected this week due to prepping my new breast cancer cards for a charity function…yes, I will post them on Etsy this weekend. hehe I have several canvases to lay out for show entries and donations this weekend as well. We also have more pumpkins to carve, seeds to roast, and sites to design so I am percolating ideas in between and writing my 2,000+ words today…
I have had a few people ask if we were doing our 1pm meetings every Saturday vs once a month for NaNo-sake and I have no problem hooking up with people outside the schedule we set up. You can reach me at renmeleon@gmail.com anytime so let me know! I’ll also post when Laurel (Petalouda) and I get-together for anyone who would like to crash our meetings. hehe
No matter what you are doing today, I wish you all a very productive NaNo and great success in your personal goals, whether new projects or old as I know a lot of us are writing new content on current projects. I hope your days are full of wordy goodness and that your nights are full of dreamy novel-inducing slumber. May your pen never run dry, nor your laptop battery expire.
Pixelated words percolating in my head…
