NaNoWriMo

Yay! I have my story idea!

And not too soon either. Just a couple of days till the "fun" begins.

Good grief! I'm starting to get nervous. How the hell will I keep up the pace of around 2,000 words a day for the best part of a month??

Well at least I'm starting with a terrific idea that can easily grow to a novel I think.

I actually came up with this one a few years ago and dutifully jotted it down. I'm glad I haven't written it into a story earlier because I've thought of a few nice additions to it that should make for an interesting story... I hope. [gulp]

Anybody else who reads my journal doing NaNoWriMo this year?

Sounds like a cool idea. I'm all for no car chases in stories myself :-)

For me it's not so much the ideas thing is that I'd have a physical problem managing it, thanks to my bloody day job where I'm regularly required to knock off between 10,000 and usually about 13,000 transcribed words. With the recent overtime, I don't write at all some days. Pity it's not January when the courts are in recess but November is no good because they're all trying to get their work done before Christmas.

It is obscene that you must work at stuff that obstructs your creative writing. You are a damn fine writer.

Oh, for the future when we can all pursue our abilities! Not far off I hope.
