What a weekend and what a month! This one has been exhausting to be sure, but that is not too unusual I suppose. The tricky thing with this month has been that it was a tease. It felt like this was supposed to be the month where things leveled off, but that was so not the case. The further along the month went the more chaotic it all became.

It occurred to me today that it is October. While this by itself is nothing all that special, I realized that November is less than a month away and a severe hit of anxiety pumled me about the head. why anxiety? Well as any self respecting, self loathing, self abusing...okay...any writer, might tell you, November is National Novel Writing Month. That's right: NaNoWriMo! Last year's NaNoWriMo is what got sme started on my writing again. I flailed about inefectually for a few weeks, okay months, and never did finish my NaNoWriMo novel. I swore that next year would be different. So far this year is not looking all that promising either. I have a bit more of a heads up this time, but I still have nothing prepared for it. No outline, no characters, nothing. I haven't even started brainstorming an idea. I want to go from fresh and hit that 50,000 word mark by the end of November. So, instead of focusing my energies on the project preparation I am blogging here. Are you planning on participating? Will you be my NaNoWriMo friend? What do you do for preparation? Are you ready to start writing? Have you already started (you cheater you!)?
