This will be a short blog post, as I have been ambushed by The Dreaded Lurgies. Full-on flu. It's filling my head with fluff, so my writing has ground to a halt. I have snuggled down by the fire, lit for the first time this year, today.
I have to get myself in gear though. I have a Halloween birthday and wedding anniversary to hopefully still enjoy - and then on 1st November, I have committed to NanoWrimo. I have been taking part for ten years now. In case you haven't heard of it, NanoWrimo is a special challenge, where participants undertake to write a novel in a month. 50,000 words. It sounds like a lot, but only breaks down into 1,677 words a day. That can be done in one chunk (I do this - getting up early and writing 'til it's done) but can also be shoe-horned into a day's activities - lunch and coffee breaks; in the evening - you get to choose.
Just think - by the time you read my next blog, we could both have a new novel in first draft. Are you with me? See you on the other side!
Cheering you on, Lynn! To take on the flu and Nanowrimo is heroic!
ReplyDeletethanks so much :) My husband has another word for it entirely ;)
ReplyDeleteFeel better and forge ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan :)
ReplyDeleteGood wishes, Hope the flu has left you by the time November arrives, and thanks for boldly rising from your bed to write today's post - a useful reminder that Nanowrimo is approaching.
ReplyDeleteps Loved that comforting fireside picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny :) The fire + copious tea is very comforting indeed :) Just need to get the writing-planning into gear now :)
