NaNoWriMo - Update



I will be able to think of little else this month.
NaNoWriMo is taking over my life.
I had such a complicated set of dreams last night which today ended up in my novel and took the book on a completely different track.
That's what I love about writing.
The way it consumes you.
The way your characters take on a life of their own.
And the way you can immerse yourself in a completely different world.
A world you help shape.
Nothing like real life at all.
I reached 3,600 words today.
I am aiming for slow and steady.

Last night I went out for a meal with my husband and two of his sisters and wore the dress with tights instead of jeans and today I am influenced by the red and gold leaves in my garden.
This scarf was just £2.50 from a little shop in the Albert Dock, Liverpool.

  6. love the scarf and the boots and you just look so lovely in that picture :)

    I'm not writing today, just too tired, will probably not be able to go on before thursday afternoon, but can set aside the whole of thursday afternoon for it, so I guess I'll be able to catch up since I'm a pretty fast writer.

    I know excactly what you talking about with charakters taking on their own life, and I love this energy they have.
    Writing is an awesome thing, I'm happy I started NaNo again afer not participating last year.

  11. I love the scarf and your tights with those beautiful dresses.

    May I also say that your hair is looking fantastic!

    I'm glad to hear that NaNo is going well. I was thinking about participating this year, but unfortunately with life taking over and my computer out of commission for now, I think word-tracking may be beyond me. I may try pulling out a notebook to scribble while commuting on the bus, though.
