NaNoWriMo

So, NaNoWriMo has officially started today and I think I started with a bang.  2000 words. It helps that so much of this story is already defined in my head and that I feel I know these characters so well.  I wonder if I'm overextending myself this month, giving myself so many projects to work on (some writing-related, most not!).  But I guess I will do it as long as I can and I have the energy. I always did work better when I was 1. under deadline and 2. super busy--because then I had to organized my time no matter what and make priorities. I tend to waste so much time doing nothing when I do have time. 

Anyway, I did have to break my writing time into two today to write out that first scene--half before D. was up and half after he went to bed. But it was all worth it. And in between and later too, I kept revising and coming up with more things to revise for the novel! 

And I'm so wound up with energy, I'm surprising myself!  Actually, I love having all this going on! It's making me motivated too to keep going and actually following through on the goals I wrote out for myself this year.  Just had to share.
