NaNoWriMo

I've never actively participated in the NaNoWriMo before. This year I think I will. I've had a very busy and productive summer, but I've hit the ground with nowhere to go. I have story ideas -- just no umph to get going.

I'm hoping that by the time November rolls around, I'll be ready to crank another one out.

I'm an Unofficial Participant

I didn't officially enter the contest. Why?, you ask? Well for one thing, I have a full-time job, so unless I want to be writing until midnight or so every evening... And that's not counting all the after school stuff I have to do, like PTO meetings, fall festivals, etc.

Secondly, I've already started a couple of WIPs, and my purpose is to FINISH them. Yeah, it's like cheating, which is why I'm not actually signed up.

Thirdly, I've been in a writing slump. For the first time in a looooong time, I haven't put fingers to keyboard to actually WRITE anything for over a month. Maybe my brain needed the time off. Maybe I'm trying to avoid burn-out. I dunno. But it's time I got my nose back to the grindstone.
