the wheels are in motion.

So fun. I’ve put together a blog dedicated solely to writing the novel and posting every day.

Stay tuned for its unveiling, and beware that this place may become scarce during November. I broke down word count. I need to bust out roughly 1800 words per day to reach the goal.

I’m spending the next few days spiffing up the November blog and doing as many domestic chores as I can including things like putting together the menu for Thanksgiving (I’m hosting and writing a novel!!!), bringing the car to the shop to replace all the wheels, planning T783’s birthday party at home and the one at school, preparing for all my very fun social events including a tea with my girlfriends and a baby shower for my college roommate, and figuring out when exactly I’m going to write 1800 words in the course of a day!

I’m so excited!

In an act of kindness to myself, I’m reminding me that I am doing this for fun. I’m giving myself permission not to complete the task. False starts are okay. This should be something that is fun, and the moment it starts becoming a chore is the moment it needs to be put out of its misery. I will not measure myself on this accomplishment or potential lack thereof.

    You can do it! I did NaBloPoMo or whatever it’s called last year, and I think it really jumpstarted my writing. Blogging every day became almost a habit, and I continue to do it now! But you’re right about the fun part — even if you have to say what the weather is, just do it.
