Hello! Just checking in with anyone else who may be participating in this year’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).
Phew – I’m half-way through my 50,000 word goal and having a lot of fun, but I’ll admit that, despite staying on pace with the 1,667 words per day, the first week or so was a bit of a mess. I’ve finally found a plot and I’m working on some characters!
I don’t expect the results to resemble anything worth publishing, but it’s a great way to escape and to exercise my mind.
So, who else has taken on the NaNoWriMo challenge and how’s it going for you? Leave a comment and tell me how you’re doing!
Glad you are staying on goal, Barbara.

Thanks, John. First day was great, then I hit some walls, and by the 11th day I was able to climb over them. 🙂

I’m so happy to hear this, Barbara. Keep going! As you now, I got a late start when I got hit with edits from my editor. I’m playing catch up which isn’t the best strategy for NaNo.

Hi Jill and thank you – I’m under much less pressure than you – you have a lot to do and at least you have a plot mapped out. Mine is a mess!

Hi Everyone, just sharing this NaNoWriMo update – I’ve been busy tapping away on my keyboard and haven’t had as much time to read other bloggers’ posts. I’m easing back in now so I’ll be seeing you soon!
