Nov. 1st, 2019 07:45 amToday starts the 2019 edition of NaNoWriMo which started 20 years ago. National Novel Writing Month is a challenge to write 50,000 words in the month of November.If you write 1667 words a day then you will have written 50,000 words in 30 days. Many have tried it and some have succeeded. The basic idea is to write and not censor yourself while writing and not to go back and edit anything until December. It may be considered quantity over quality but I think it is more about establishing a writing habit and goals help with that.
I plan to give it a go this year but it may not all be a novel but various projects I have either to do or want to do and most of them are short fiction. I figure that way I have a word goal for the day. If I can do more then great but I want to hit that goal.
I am not counting my web log but see that as my warm up to my fiction work.
Halloween night went well. We had a lot of wind but no rain. Lots of comics and books in the hands of new owners. A few good costumes including a kid who dressed as Albert Einstein but he was actually dressed as Sheldon Cooper in his Einstein outfit. Nice bit of costuming there.
Today I clean up and put away Halloween including what is left of our tombstones. We lost a few this year. I think I am going to put our address on the ones we still have so that they might wander back to us.
Remember this weekend we go back to standard time which I am so looking forward to. My body clock is set for standard time and DLST just doesn’t work for me.
Either there will be some form of entry here for a month or I might vanish for a time. I am going where my whimsey takes me.
I am grateful for the ability to write.
