The Shortest Wednesday Scramble Ever!

November 16, 2011 By: Patricia

I want to announce two more guest authors this week.

The first is Susan Oleksiw whose post will appear tomorrow. Susan is the author of Under the Eye of Kali: an Anita Ray mystery.

Friday’s guest is Joanne Kennedy, author of Tall, Dark, and Cowboy.

Meanwhile, I’m plugging away, staying even with what I need to do for NaNoWriMo. As of last night I was at 25,219 words, just over the halfway mark.

Will I run out of story before I run out of month? Stay tuned….

    NaNoWriMo is an interesting experience for me since I’d never tried it before. I gave up housework and cut back on the number of busywork “errands” I run plus my TV and reading to help make writing time, so I obviously can’t keep up this same pace long term. I’m thinking if I can establish a daily writing habit with a goal of 1,000 words (but no pressure), I might be more productive than I’ve been in the past.

    Meanwhile, I’m now a day behind (as of Thursday morning) — life (as in grocery shopping and errands) got in my way on Wednesday. Back to work…

    I’m amazed that anyone can write that much in a couple of weeks and still manage a website and stay sane. I’ll bet it’s a great story.
