Bidgette's Month of November



Yes, aside from Thanksgiving and Christmas preparations, I've decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month - NaNoWriMo for short. I am super excited! I've been wanting something for awhile that would help kick-start my writing and get me motivated to simply...write. And this is it! The basic idea is that you write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. This is an average of 1,667 words per day - whoa! I know it sounds nuts, but I'm totally into it and think it's just what I need right now. There's no editing or proofing (which will be hard for me) of what you write, you just write.

You can check out the website via the link to the right. You may be able to access my novel, but I'm not sure how that goes. Maybe I have to give permission? Well, if you are interested in reading along as I write and offering moral support, let me know and I'll see what I need to do.

As an aside, I totally realize that it's been two and a half months since my last post :0( (this seems to be a pattern), but I offer no excuses - even though I can list a bunch. I figure the photo blog is the more important one to keep up with since everyone wants to see pictures. But I'm going to try harder throughout this month...in between my 50,000 words. :0)
