By the time you are reading this, I will be up to my hips in Nanowrimo…again. I think this is the fifteenth time I’ve done this, but this will be the third time I’ve won (God willing). Of course, the only thing I get for winning is bags under my eyes and a manuscript that needs some love and doctoring. But, hey – I don’t do these things because they are easy. I do them because they are hard.

Do I recommend Nanowrimo to everyone? Only if you want to see what it takes to be a dedicated writer now. I’m crazy and driven to do this. I’m one of those people that says ‘do it’ to anyone who says they wanted to be a writer. Go for it. Take this November to fire up your word processor and write 1700 words a day – about maybe two hours of time. You can miss a couple of shows. You don’t have to speak to your spouse all the time. Your pets can take care of themselves. Write to soothe the muse.

This blog is going to be a little short because I do have to get in my word count for the day, and I wanted to touch base a little. I didn’t want anyone to think I’d abandoned the blog again. Updates will come, but there won’t be a lot to it, sadly.

So – bear with me this month, keep writing and I will look forward to a more substantial update / after action report come December.
