NaNoWriMo a head banging good time... NOT!!

Well, maybe it is a bit of fun, but not as much as in past years. I seem to be struggling mightily this year and that generally doesn’t  happen until much later in the month. Wah!! Now I’m about 10,000 words behind, and I’m blogging now to avoid having to do any writing. Isn’t that about as pathetic as it comes.

If I don’t look at the page, it will not seem so blank…

It doesn’t help that I’m finding it hard to get connected with my main character. *sigh* Oh well, nothing makes me so productive as the last minute so hopefully I’ll start kicking it into full gear here in the next few days. Oh well… there’s always tomorrow, no wait, there’s a Packer game tomorrow. There’s always Monday…

NaNoWriMo - The Madness Has Begun!!

Well, here it is another year of NaNoWriMo in full swing and I'm questioning my sanity for taking on the challenge of 50K in the month of November - in addition to holiday madness and a trip to Madison Book Festival. Especially after managing a Camp NaNo in June... and 50K+ then.

I'm crazy but I love it!!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!! What was I thinking???

Just had a great first write in with my buddy Morrigan, and managed to meet my first day goal. We were inspired (or is that threatened) into writing diligence by a Kali finger puppet and a small red Ninja, but we both believe in the "whatever it takes" philosophy. I also owe my success at least in part to meeting at the coffee shop, away from distractions (you know squirrels, tv programs, mountains of yarn, etc.). There were a few distracting ambulance calls but for the most part we were able to focus and get the job done.

Now if I can just keep it up...

Don't worry, Kali will keep us on track...

Bleeaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
