Only 43 days until November 1. I still haven't outlined my story. What is wrong with me? I've simply been very busy. It's been a crazy summer. Have summers always been like that and I just have enough time in the 9 months between them to recover and forget (kind of like labor)? I don't think so. I think this was just a delightfully busy summer.
I've been getting up early several days a week now to walk with a friend (eventually jog, when my back is less achy). I get to bed late after a full day of work and kids functions. What am I going to have to give up to squeeze in some time to write? I'm not yet sure when I'll squeeze it in. But I would really like to win Nanowrimo this year. It will be a simple personal victory.
I'm so glad I have cheerleaders this year. I always wondered what Nano participants were thinking when they all go out for pizza together, or go to the library for an all nighter with company. I think maybe that is important just to be together and know you have support. Maybe it's someone to bounce your ideas off of. Sometimes when your stuck all it takes is talking out a scene to someone who will listen and you become "unstuck". And usually,when you get unstuck the words can flow like water. I'm looking forward to that part as much as the writing part now...
I'm back to 4 people writing with me! Wahoo!! Bring on November!!
