NaNoWriMo

I went back and forth about it until I finally decided a couple of weeks ago that I would go for it. NaNoWriMo that is. National Novel Writing Month.

I'm almost finished with the second version of my outline. It has taken me nearly 2 months. I wrote one outline in September and then I let it breathe. This month, I kept going back and forth. Things didn't feel right until I rearranged my thoughts once more. Come November 1st, I'm gonna stop worrying and start writing, giving it all I've got in the process.

Really, that's what NaNo's all about. This morning, I read what Tom Robbins wrote in his pep talk from last year and this stood out for me: "Writing a novel is not so much a project as a journey, a voyage, an adventure."

Nine more days and the adventure begins!

Election

Is anyone else getting sweaty palms whenever you think of the election in less than 2 weeks?

Must keep busy. Must not worry. Must stay distracted. Must eat.

Walnuts, apple slices, cheese and unsweetened white peach tea. And a good book. Off I go!
