NaNo status
NaNo is going pretty well so far. I'm a smidge behind (3062 words), but not too far, so I should be able to catch up. It'll be my first time doing NaNo while I working full-time since 2007, so it should be interesting. But the nice thing is that my school gives Veteran's Day off and two days for Thanksgiving, so those holidays should help.
There are some new people doing NaNo this year, and some repeat offenders (you know who you are :D). Exciting! I am thinking of maybe attending one of the regional write-ins sometime this year. I did a bit of writing in a cafe yesterday (a real one, not a Starbucks) while I was waiting for Alix's voice recital to start. It made me feel like a "serious writer," which is pretty difficult if the novel you're writing is called The Time-Traveling Adventures of the Amazing Punching Space Nun. It's such a long title that the NaNoWriMo site shortens it on my Novel Info page to The Time-Traveling Adventures of the Amazing Punching Spa... I guess that's like a crossover between Hot Tub Time Machine and Fight Club?
