It's here again. Last year was my first year participating, and I actually won. "A" for effort right? Of course, there are no prizes or anything, just the satisfaction of writing a whole freakin' novel in a month. Of course, I scoured over it and made changes, did a massive overhaul, did a lot of editing and turned it into my first novel, Stress Test. I'm planning on participating again this year, though I have no illusions about winning. I feel like I'll make a good go of it though, I'll make some massive progress, and at least I'll be able to say that.
Besides, November here in the Mitten is generally a good month for writing. The weather is crappy, it's dark most of the day and it's something to do to keep from being overly depressed. You can't be depressed if your mind of working on something creative right?
Though, on the other hand, I've got the guilt that I'm not spending enough time with my family. That family being, J, and the fur/feather babies. So mostly I think, oh, there will be another day/time to write, I'm going to hang out with J before he goes to work. Or, the dog needs someone to play with him, because the cat is just sitting on the back of the couch like a bump on a log. Other times I think... just give me an hour to write something down, and then I can feel a little accomplishment.
