Last year, I unofficially participated in NaNoWriMo to put a fire under my butt and get going on my languishing manuscript. The results were fairly positive. I had a very productive month, and while I was far from finishing said manuscript, at least I made some headway. But as usually, things continued to go up and down since then, and I am still far from finishing.
However, here we are back in November, and once again I am an unofficial NaNoWriMo participant. This time I am not even working full-time, as I am recovering from rather invasive surgery and I have an 8 week leave, so I have no excuses and plenty of time to get some writing done. My goal is lofty – to finish the manuscript. Alarm bells should be ringing: I can barely manage baby steps, so attempting to actually finish something is huge. But I don’t care anymore. If I make it, great. If I don’t, there’s still the hope that I got a lot more done than if I stuck with my little goal.
So here goes nothing! I’ll try and be diligent in posting my progress and word count.
Good luck to all you NaNoWriMo people out there!
