NaNoWriMo

[osprey_archer]

Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo? I waffled about it all of yesterday, but I woke up this morning and decided to heck with it, I might as well do it. Naturally this puts me behind, but I should be able to catch up. I already hit 2000 words this morning and I'm hoping to get to 4000 by this evening. Of course the beginning is always the easiest.

It's a Fourth of July romance, which is not really a thing, but I couldn't resist the flags snapping the breeze, the flag-patterned cakes (blueberries and raspberries and Cool Whip), or the possibility of red-white-and-blue Jell-O shots. The heroine is painting a picnic table with red and white stripes (her grandma is big into this holiday decorating thing, okay) when her childhood crush shows up and startles her so much that she smacks her head against the underside of the table and gets a streak of white paint right across her forehead.

I'm using it to force myself to finish the first draft of my Yuletide fic! I just hit 2000 words this morning, so you are well ahead of me.

This sounds excellent--go go go!

I know I can't make the NaNo word counts, but I'd like to try to use it to make myself write each day, at least.

I failed all my previous NaNoWriMos but at least it gave me 20-30k of rambling words that could be re-worked into a novel at some point...Maybe...

This year I'm trying to be less ambitious and simply finish a short story/novella I started working on recently.

Good luck with yours though! :)
