Ten and November
It gets asked quite a bit when you're a known writer with known writer friends, "Are you doing NaNo?"
And it always feels weird - at least for me - to say, "No." Though I guess I have the secondary excuse of, "And if I did, it'd be dissertation related."
(We don't talk about my dissertation, though.)
But I always do feel I need to do something for November, some sort of daily, goal-oriented thing; the month just calls for it, after many years of doing that daily, goal-oriented writing in the past. I'm going to try for two of them this year, in fact: a daily music post on other sources, and a daily bit of writing here, just to flex the blog writing muscles. After all, this journal is, mm, 11 years or or so, and it's nice to occasionally visit that schedule once more, once again.
So that's the plan: no word count, just random words, as the day or the night or the shower thoughts take me. And if I can remember exactly what those shower thoughts are to go with them, in fact...
