I am going to try it again. I joined Camp Nanowrimo for April to write my novel. I am staying with the 50,000 words even though this challenge one can set any number of word count. I did get me a T-shirt for the challenge hoping it will be my “muse”. Hey anything helps. 🙂 I wonder if I need to wash it everyday…:)
Of course, I won’t wear it everyday.
After I took this picture, I chopped all my hair off. I guess I needed a change to write this novel. Or could it be I was bored with the long hair. Or really wanting that warm weather to show up.
I went back into my novel for the first time since January and ended up scrapping a whole chapter. It sounded really ridiculous. I have been doing research on writing a novel to get me more prepared. At least that is what I tell myself, though I think it is just another way to put off writing. 🙂
I am going to achieve this. It is my dream. I have wanted to write a novel since I was a teenager. I just got side tracked the last 25 years. I feel the timing is right. I just got to get past this block in the story. I know what I want to write, just need to put it all together somehow, some way. 🙂
Yes, I have a good feeling about this. Now if the sunshine and warmth would come out I could go write in other nice places without being trapped at my desk area. I think that would help.
I think the groundhog lied. 😦

The groundhog indeed lied, but don’t let that stop you. You can do it! Good luck.

If you get the secret of it, let me know. I’ve got an elderly manuscript disguised as a door stop that could do with a revisit. 🙂 good luck.

Hello, 2bC! I came here via Mary (comment above this one), and I have enjoyed myself as I’ve read your entire blog!! Don’t let my avatar fool you – that is my book character. I am older than you, and I have a 26-year old son. But we could be sisters!!
I wear my hair as you do, and I, too, recently chopped it off myself. I think the right side is about an inch shorter than the left side, and I have to have my driver’s license renewed this month. What possesses us to take scissors to our hair? I also totally related to your escapade at the Y on your first day. I refuse to take my butt anywhere public, and am trying, trying, trying to use my elliptical here at home to some benefit.
And don’t even get me started on NaNo. 🙂 I did NaNo for the first time last November, and it was a pain in the arse. I did manage to make the 50,000 words, but it was a struggle all month. Good wishes to you for success this month. I’ll be rooting for you, and yes, I would wear that t-shirt every day and only wash it once a week unless I got gravy or something on it.
I know you will reach your goals for your trilogy. It’s amazing what we can do when we enjoy what we are doing. I’m a new writer. I started writing out of the blue last year (silly, pink, fluffy, chick-lit), and didn’t know very much about writing or publishing. That didn’t stop me, and I just published my books anyway. It has been a blast even with so many ups and downs.
I hope you don’t mind I stopped in here and left such a long comment, but I just felt such a connection to you as I read your posts. Right down to the artwork on the envelopes (our son and I used to do this all the time), and the artwork from your boys.
So, in closing … it’s nice to meet you, and good luck with NaNo!!

I am so happy you did leave a nice long comment. Thank you so much. I love reading Mary’s blog. I like that she leaves comments as well. It is those little likes and comments from everyone that keep me writing. Thanks. 🙂
I admit I probably chopped a bit too much off of my hair but it is growing. I figured hot weather is coming so why not, at least I hope it is. 🙂 Congrats on NaNo, it definitely is difficult to do. I must say once I do sit down I do tend to write a lot at once so makes up for not writing every day. I had thought about dropping the word count down, but then its like I might as well go for it.
I did good about going to the Y last week but afraid I dropped out of groove this week, used the excuse of the cold weather again. I did walk on our treadmill a couple times here at home this week. I think because more people were there last week freaked me out a bit, so another excuse. I am determined to continue though. So you get on the elliptical as well! 🙂
I am going to head over to your blog. Thanks again and very nice meeting you. 🙂
