A Novel Idea

November is Novel Writing month, so says NaNoWriMo, a website I signed up with that gives prizes for writing 50,000 words in a month. This is my first try and so far I have written 842 words in two days. Writing is usually quite a lonely hobby, profession, but when there are people all over the world writing, it becomes more interesting. You should try it sometime. Even if it just means writing in a journal, or a diary, it still refreshes the soul, gives breath to the psyche. I would be lost without writing. But, of course I procrastinate, get ideas and then don't take the time to write them down. Its all about accountability and tricking myself into taking action. In the case of a writer, it's more like inaction, sitting down long enough to write!
So, I will write every day, not editing, not re-writing, just the bare bones. That in itself is more enjoyable. Wish me luck!
