MyNoWriMo - Rowena House

My admiration for people who are undertaking the full 50K of NaNoWriMo this month has increased  exponentially since the start of November as I've tried my own pared-down version of it: a 10,000 new words challenge for the witchy WIP. 

Below is the table of the position at the midway point. Not too far behind target, which is a relief, especially when it is the result of a lot of editing down as well as building up the total. Still, it pales into insignificance when I think what the true competitors are doing. 

What would it take, I wonder, to clear one's desk and shut the door on everyday life sufficiently to be able to attempt this 50K feat and create something even vaguely resembling a story at the end of it? More than planning, it must take ruthless dedication.

For me, it's life's demands that are the enemy of writing, but what is the point of writing without people in one's life? And dogs, natch, who's had her walk pretty much every day. And the birds have been fed. There's even fresh milk in the fridge. 

So, in case I can get a bit further back on track tonight, I'll sign off now, with a warm salute to NaNoWriMowers everywhere. [It needs the 'w' imho.] Very best of luck to you all.
