Week one of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I’ve only written half the word count I’m supposed to have done (aiming for 50,000 words in the month) - who knew that you had to plan your meals and not have any social life whilst you were trying to write your novel?!
On the plus side, the story I started and thought might only be short, has turned into a monster and it feels like I’m waffling, but I’ve been assured that it may feel like that, but what you’re really doing is fleshing out the story. Having only written drabbles and shorts, I’m used to being a bit more concise and even if I do by some miracle finish it (but probably not this month...), it’ll need some hard editing before anyone sees it, but I have my beta reader already lined up (you know who you are!).
So, that’s my update for now - I’ll try and write some each week - inbetween NaNo, finding out what people want for Xmas, ordering Xmas pressies (I managed about half of it before November), wrapping said pressies for people we may not see before Xmas, and the usual work and home life stuff!
Bye for now
Shel
