NaNoWriMo—Training Lean, Mean, Writing Machines
A truly inspirational post about NaNoWriMo and writing in general. I’m going for NaNo again. My first one was in 2007 and I won. I signed up for 2008 and got broadsided by a day job that just demanded too much. In 2012, I completed the November challenge and then the NaNoWriMo camps in April and July of this year, each time signing up for 50K even though I didn’t have to do 50K. And here I go again. My husband asks, “Why?” and I say, “Because NaNo is the only time when I really focus on my writing.” It does that for me. Gives me permission to push everything else aside and write.

God, I…just…don’t…get…it! Life’s too… (fill in the blank –) 😉
Ha ha ha! But it’s only one month a year, if you don’t include the “camps.” And the camps don’t have a 50k challenge; you set your own goals which can include editing. Call me crazy. I’ve been called worse 😉
Okay…You’re crazy! But the truth is I admire you for doing this. I know I couldn’t pull it off!
Oh, you’re so sweet to admire my craziness 😉
This was a great post. Thanks for sharing, Marie! 🙂
My pleasure!
