Well, I’ve realized again why NaNoWriMo is so difficult. Its schedule during the same month as Thanksgiving. How in the world is someone supposed to finish a novel in a month when you have to break up that month with 4 days of family, kids, and a 20lb turkey????

:)

All of those things are good, but they definitely make for a distracting writing environment, not to mention make it even harder to find time (unlike writing a complaint about it on a social network or blog!)

I’ve got 2 days to go and 40,222 words written with the goal of 50,000 words by midnight on 11-30.

Writing another 9,800 words is not really a big deal, but if it hadn’t been for Thanksgiving and other holiday month activities, I think I could have probably hit 80k. (quit whining Brett and get back to work)

So that’s my beef and I’m sticking to it. I will probably finish this thing today, but I’m just saying, why not some other month???

NaNoWriMo

This year I'm writing a book, currently title, Infected with Time as part of the National Novel Writing Month event. I'm utilizing two of my favorite software tools to write the book, Dragon Naturally Speaking and MindManager. Wish Me Luck, as the novel gets more organized (writing and editing as I go) I'll start publishing chapters so that you can follow along.

Cooooool!
