Let’s just say- it’s been a month. I jumped into NaNoWriMo not really sure what I was writing. This is the second year in a row where I went in blank. Luckily there was something in the back of my mind that kept nagging at me. It was a piece of non-fiction that I had been meaning to begin writing years ago and without an idea to save me, I jumped in with both feet and wrote. With it being a personal narrative, I wasn’t sure how it would progress and I have to admit it’s quite a mess. It needs a second draft with a little order and it will still need massive amounts of work but I wrote the 50,000 words with a day to spare and I’m pretty darn proud of myself.
Of course the downside to the relief that I won NaNo is that I look around and see a house that needs attention, a blog that needs attention and a family that needs attention. Although the family did a pretty good job of stealing my attention throughout the month of November. Not to mention Christmas on the horizon…
Gosh, what has everyone been up to while I’ve been missing??
Great to be back and hoping to stay here!
