I guess most people don't even know that I write in the first place, other than this blog. I've always loved reading because I can immerse myself in a different place or time, but it's really fun to be able to create all the details myself! I've started a couple of novels (or what I hope will be novels someday) but never finished one. Kind of like every other artsy thing I do, I start it and then it sits, ignored, for months. Years. My pile of unfinished crochet projects will attest to my lack of finishing power!
I'm hoping NaNoWriMo will be the motivation and inspiration I need to actually put a whole story together and not just write a few scenes. Creating expectation for myself is a hard thing for me to deal with. Every time I tell someone about a project I'm working on, I feel obligated to work on it and finish it. I don't like feeling obligated to anything…so it doesn't get done.
I know….right? Totally contradictory. I'm not sure why I think telling the whole world that I'm writing AND have a 30 day deadline is going to help me write, but I might as well give it a shot!
So here I go….50,000 words from November 1st to November 30th.
