NaNoWriMo starts on Thursday. That's the National Novel Writing Month, held in November, when folks try to write a novel, approximately 50,000 words, in one month. I've attempted it 2, maybe 3 times, but I don't think I've never gotten passed about 6,000 words.
Last April I participated in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, which I managed to keep up with within a day or two of the actual alphabet letter and day postings. I focused on my bucket list, and I enjoyed writing about my possible excursions, endeavors and life dreams.
I've attempted to read 100 Books in 2012 and 2011 and 2010 with a group of mommy friends, but I've fallen short there, getting only half way there one year, and barely keeping up with my blogging and posting in Goodreads.
Once again I'm hoping to start some sort of writing schedule. I was overcome with topics just the other day, pulling out my notebook and jotting down the ideas, while driving on a fairly busy highway no less. Probably not the best time to write, but I had to get those ideas on paper.
I've been trying to figure out what's not right with my psyche for the past few years, and I've decided that it's because I'm not journaling, blogging, writing on a regular basis.
So here's to November and carving out some time to get back to writing!

Huzzah!! Good for you.
Even fifteen minutes a day can make a huge sanity difference (at least, that's what I've found).
I think I'm joining you with NaNo this year again...thought I didn't have time, but what the heck! ;)
