If you’ve been here for a minute, you know that I have participated in NaNoWriMo for two decades. I have posters from past years on my walls, I have merch from past years. It’s a program that I’ve loved and supported for a long time.
I’m doing it this year. I have my reasons, some of which are probably pretty obvious. At the same time, some are practical — I have so many things that I’m working on that I should be giving attention to, not trying to start something new (not that I have a burning idea for something new this year anyway, but that’s neither here nor there).
This said, that doesn’t mean that I don’t intend to drill down on something and track it. I’d like to get the current draft of When All’s Said and Done knocked out (it’s over 55,000 words and there is a bunch more story to tell in some very good and fun ways), so that may well be my November project. That would kind of be a fun full-circle moment for me, since it was my original NaNo project all those years ago, eventually coming in at something like 80000+ words by the time it was done.
This one is going to be bigger, the story a bit different, but every bit of the same level of vibes that I had going back then.
So stay tuned for hopefully a fragment of something a day coming in November — and maybe beyond.
Also stay tuned for promised cat pictures coming later today.
