NaNoWriMo

Is underway! I'm about to die. I think this month will overwhelm me, chew me up and spit me out. BUT I'm thinking positive...positive...positive.

Here are my goals:

-Being ready for each day by 9 am
-Writing 1,660 words a day
-Reading/editing 10 pages a day for CP
-Reading about 20 pages a day for fun

I know it's supposed to be all about writing but this way I'll be sure to get it all done. Plus, I'm working so it's going to be a hard task! Hence, the waking up each morning earlier than I need to. Since it's on my blog, everyone can make sure I'm doing it!

I should say, I'm not being strict with this. For me, I'm working on a novel that I've been working on for months so if I don't finish it, that's ok. I feel like this challenge is making me work on it and not giving me any excuses to not do it. Yes, I'm going to try to get all the words done but if I don't, that's okay too! I'm excited about it.

Add me.

What are you doing for NaNoWriMo?

  1. My husband gave me a voucher for 24 hours of uninterrupted work on my book. No cooking, cleaning, day job, or child rearing.

  2. You sound way more organized than I am.

    My goal for NaNo is to write more than I normally would (50,000 would be nice) and to try not to do anything that would cause my family to hate me ; )

  3. I'm just trying to reach the goal, haha. I've tried to do Nano for the past 5 years, and never made it.

    When it comes to writing, I'm just shooting from the hip, no plans, minimal revisions, and trying to come up with it as I go. Sure, I may come up with a piece of crap. But at least it will be a FINISHED piece of crap, haha, unlike all my other "books"!

    I went ahead and added you as a "buddy." I'm Sadiana on there.
