Well, it starts in less than a week. My goal this year: to finish the short story I started here and never got the tiem to finish.  I know that you are supposed to try for a novel length manuscipt - but I would be very happy to come out of this with a decent short story (or maybe two).

NaNo again? Good grief. No chance. I couldn't even scrape up an entry for the anthology this year.  --A |

My older daughter (aka Batsutousai on the Watch) pestered me into signing up for NaNo this year. I spent last weekend in Roanoke with the girls. I got about 20 min. of writing in on Saturday, 0 min. on Sunday (had to drive home), 0 min. on Monday (had to get caught up on the stuff I didn't get done all weekend while I was out of town), and 0 min. on Tuesday (glued to the election returns!). Consequently, I am about 5000 words behind right now. And I will be driving back down to Roanoke for Thanksgiving -- just down Thursday and back Friday, but still, that kills at least one more day. I will *never* get caught up.  Batty, needless to say, is well ahead of where her word count needs to be right now. And her girlfriend is right on target. I hate them both.  (Not really, of course. But it *is* annoying.)Truth to tell, I don't really care about the certificate. I signed up only because I needed a kick in the butt to actually write this novella. When I pulled out my research for it, I realized I've had the idea since at least January.... Duchess, what's your NaNo username? Mine is aliantha.

I would actually have to go there and find out. I signed up for it one year, and have never had time to actually do much writing so have not signed up for it since (though I have finished another scene for my short story).

Well, best of luck, you two. This has never been my sort of thing. |

Me either. Don't have the patience. Poetry is short. --A |
