I'm not sure why, but I've just signed up for NaNoWriMo.
I'm not even sure I fully understand what it's about. I mean, I understand the point is to write 50,000 words before midnight on the 30th November. I get that. But why oh why did I just decided that such a venture would apply to me?
Gulp.
What the effing hell have I just done?
I've always proclaimed that despite loving to write, I don't have a novel in me.
I don't even have a frigging idea for a plot. I can't actually remember what the last novel I read was (woah, I just typed wrote instead of read there....maybe that was a sign?)
But I've been reading over some of my old posts lately and they're not that bad...they read quite well. So I know I can actually, erm, you know, write (in the loosest sense of the word).
So hard can it be right? It just 1,666 words per day. It doesn't have to be a work of genius. It's just a bit of fun...right?
Oh lordy lordy.
Ramblings, musings, insights and general hullabaloo about life with 2 small boys, our quest to move back to Scotland and the joy of cake.
They say the more you write, the more you write! Good luck. Never been brave enough myself
ReplyDeleteOh, well done. I signed up last year but didn't finish it. Thought about doing it this year but I really would like to finish the novel I am working on...
ReplyDeleteWould be good to have a writing buddy though. Will give it some thought.
I am looking forward to reading how you get on.
Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't signed up before either but it looks tempting. No time for it this year but I definitely intend to have a go.
Good luck :o)
