So I know I haven’t written about the NaNoWriMo experience in awhile. I’ve been filling my days pushing forward with my word count and then watching old episodes of House . It’s been pretty much a mixed bag as far as easy/hard goes. Week Two was pretty simple, except on Saturday it got super hard. And then this week has been a little bit of both--it starts out hard, and then I find a flow and go with it. Which reminds me, I’ve been a bit of an overachiever the past few days, with over 2,000 words. I’ve got a buddy on the NaNo website who’s at 44,000. Um… yeah. And ~blue-strawberry is at 35,000 while I’m at 31,000 and I’ve been trying to catch up and beat her she keeps sneaking upwards while I’m sleeping!

I’ve also been thinking about Post NaNo. “I wrote a Novel, now what?” and what I’m thinking is that I’ll read through it without editing but keep a list of things that don’t work (and a list of things that do work, that was a piece of advice I got from looking through the old “I wrote a Novel” archive on the NaNo site). And then I’ll see what happens!

People have been asking to read it. Every time someone asks (two people, to be fair), I wince. I feel like my NaNo novel is like my child who’s misbehaving in a public place and I just want to hide it in the bathroom . I think we’ll get there, though. Children usually grow up, with their parents help. Same with novels, no?

So there’s my update!
