It's like a disease...

I tend to make way too much of most things.  I'm doing that with this NaNoWriMo thing.  Two days into it, and I'm supposed to be...3334 words into it?

Ha!

I have nothing.  Well, I have three words.  The name of my character.  But I don't even have a vague idea of what this person is going to do with her "life" which I hold in my hands.  *muahaha*  It sounds so evil.

I'm trying to remind myself that it's just a challenge.  That's all!  But nothing gives me writer's block like a goal.  Especially a 50,000 word goal!  That's about twice as long as anything I've ever written.  But, hey, even if I don't make that goal, I'll be further along in a story than I would be otherwise!  Still, I put too much pressure on myself in this.  I need to just make myself write.

But first I need a good night's sleep.  So good night!

I googled the name of my character and came up with this painting.  Maybe I'll just write a book based off of it! :)

Let's hear it for insanity

Most people haven't really heard of NaNoWriMo.  It stands for National Novel Writing Month and goes on during the month of November.  The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel over the thirty days of November.  So, I decided to do it.

I know, I know...

I'm INSANE!!!

I have a very vague idea of what I'm going to write about, but I have a pretty cool name for the main character!  That's got to count for something.  And, keep in mind, I write a lot as it is, but nobody's seen any of my work other than poetry and articles in the past five years, so don't expect to read this!  I highly doubt I'll finish, but it's all for the challenge, eh?

To God be the glory!
