Anyway, I can’t believe November is almost here. Where has this year gone? It feels like five minutes ago that we were celebrating New Year’s and we’re almost back to Thanksgiving again. What?!
November is also home to another holiday-ish thing — NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. The gist is that you write a novel in a month! Well, 50,000 words of one, anyway. I’ve never participated, but, this year, I think I might. Generally, you’re supposed to plan out your novel before November and then spend the month writing it. Since I don’t plan my novels, this should be interesting! I’m definitely not an outliner. At any rate, I’m pretty excited for the motivation to really get cruising on this next book.
Last year I sort of took December “off” to hang out and be a mom and make cookies and do crafts and try to generally be fun and not a wreck. So getting this new novel (well, really, it’s about half of a novel…) behind me before then would be great. Because I definitely want December off again!
Have you ever wanted to write a novel? If so, this is the month to try it! Let me know if you do, so we can cheer each other on!
But we can worry about writing our novels tomorrow… For now, I’m off to eat yet a little more Halloween candy. Whether you’re dressing up or no, wishing a wonderful night!
So funny! The thought of writing a novel makes me more than wild! I can hardly write this blog! Hope you get everything done so you can enjoy December.
ps….I never went nuts over Halloween. Adults didn’t back in the “olden” days, just the little kiddies.
