I've made the plunge and registered for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month - this takes place every November). Although I had already written about 24-25,000 words, I'm supposed to write 50,000 words during the month of November. In spite of my work schedule and the Thanksgiving holiday, I hope to make it to a full first draft of the novel and successfully complete the challenge. Here's to hoping I can find the time and mental strength to do it!
Right now, I have a little over 4,000 words towards the challenge...but I'm supposed to be at about 10,000 by this point (if I go by the schedule of goals that NaNoWriMo.org sets up). I've got some writtin' to do. I'm almost done drafting chapter 8, and I just need to keep telling myself that my first draft is going to be absolutely horrible and be okay with that - silence the perfectionist deep within.
