I haven’t visited the site yet to make it official, but I do plan to participate in NaNo this year. However, I’m already behind, and I don’t have the surplus of vacation from the Evil Day Job as in other years. The only days I’m currently scheduled to take in Nov. are the week of Thanksgiving.
I like to stay up until midnight after Halloween and get the first day’s words, but it just didn’t work out this year. Having the first days on the weekend are difficult for me. That’s when we do all the errands and stuff that we don’t have time to do in the week because of work. Plus, yesterday we drove to Papa’s for a bonfire. I did manage to get 519 words in the car on the way, but that’s it. Today’s laundry and Princess had a party and football, which can make it hard to concentrate.
If I finish the night with a total of 2K for the first 2 days, I’ll be happy.
Then I plan to get up D&E starting tomorrow and keep pushing forward.
Oh, and the story I’m working on? I guess I’m technically a rebel because this project was already started. I intend to finish the first draft of Charlie’s story this month. I already have 40k+ on it, and I think I’ll need another 40K at least. It’s a long, detailed story with lots of snaky twists and turns. I already have it thoroughly plotted out, so hopefully it won’t be too bad.
That’s my plan for NaNoWriMo. Are you participating this year?
I’m doing Nano again this year too. I’m so excited you are too.
I never follow the rules completely. I usually write several stories, because I don’t usually write something that’s 50k. I’m more a novella girl. I figure as long as I get the right number of words down during the allotted period, I’m working within the spirit of Nano even if it isn’t within the rules.
