Five days into NaNoWriMo and I'm actually ahead of schedule. The goal for the end of today is supposed to be 8,333 (give or take a few) and I'm at just over 10,000 already. I hope I can keep up the rest of the month. Or even keep writing more than the daily goal so I have a day or two I can skip when things get crazy at work as we get closer to Thankgiving.
I've also started on a new project this month and I'm pretty excited about it. More to come on that soon!

NaNoWriMo 2013
In just a month I will be participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). If you've never heard of this it is a month long writing event. In which participants attempt to write 50,000 words in the 30 days of November! Yes it is VERY hectic. And takes a lot of patience and perseverance.
I've participated since 2008 but haven't finished once. Something always seems to come up and keep my from writing. Other times I just get discouraged and can't write. But this year I am determined to finish!
I'm also participating in NaNoWarmUp. I literally just learned about this event! Its similar to NaNoWriMo except you try to write only 25,000 words in the 31 days of October. Hence the Warm Up part of the name. It's meant to get you ready for November. To get in the writing groove.
I plan on working on the book I started years ago and have repeatedly set aside and picked back up. I plan on starting today and working on it daily until the end of November. So, by December 1st, I hope to have 75,000 words written in it!
NaNoWriMo is tough since I work in a grocery store and have a varying schedule. And with Thanksgiving being in November work gets VERY busy and wears me out and that cuts into my writing.
I'll be posting updates as often as I can!

More Nanowrimo
I still have no idea what I'm doing for Nanowrimo yet. I still have 12 days or so before it starts. I've written stuff in science fiction, fantasy, horror, action. I have no idea what do write in. If I should just wait until November 1st and start writing the first thing that comes to my head. Or I could just pick one at random. I've thought about just working on one that I already have started. I know you're supposed to start a new story I think. But if Nanowrimo gets me writing on the book I started 4 years ago then I'm going to jump on it. I already have a bunch of scenes worked out. So it'd be easy to get going on the rest of the story. Maybe I'll be able to hit 50,000 words this year!

Nanowrimo
National Novel Writing Month or Nanowrimo is about 3 weeks away. For a change I am actually preparing a month early. So by the time November 1st I'll have everything from my idea to my supplies to my motivation built up.
This is my 4th year attempting Nanowrimo and I hope I will actually be able to finish it this year! The best of done is about 20% of the goal.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Nanowrimo it's a month long (November) challenge where the participants attempt to write 50,000 words. That's an average of 1,667 words a day! Which may not seem like a lot but it is. Mix in everything else you go through on a day to day basis and it can get hectic.
Sadly I'll be moving around the end of this month/early November so that's really going to add some craziness to the mix. Plus Thanksgiving will make work even crazier. I suppose I could try to write a bit more than the daily goal at the beginning of the month in case I don't get much of a chance to write around the holiday.
I'll try to make frequent updates on here. Perhaps my daily word count. As another way to keep myself motivated.
If anyone reading is also participating in Nanowrimo please feel free to comment or email. We could support each other! Good luck!

Wanna Be My Nano Buddy?
If you've read my previous two posts you'll know all about me doing NaNoWriMo. I even added a little word count tracker gadget thing in my sidebar. Over there ------>
That way you can see my progress! Another way is to be Nano Buddies on the Nano site. I'll post a link to my profile if anyone who is Nanoing wants to be buddies and encourage each other along!

I Be Writing
Short post tonight. I'm working on my story from last years Nanowrimo. I guess you could say it would be classified in the action/adventure "genre". I won't go into the details of the story quite yet but I'll leave you with this: 7718.
That is all. Good night!
