NaNoWriMo 2014?

First off, what is NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. You are allotted the 30 days in November to write a 50,000 word novel. Doesn't sound too difficult, but trust me it is.

If you were around a year ago, you'd know I "participated" in NaNoWriMo 2013. I say "participated" because I believe I only made it four days before giving up because of all the stress.

So I can imagine you are all curious whether I will be participating again this year.

The answer is: Yes.

HOWEVER! I don't expect much of myself. (Who can blame me?)

So last year.... I realize it was the royalist of epic fails. To be honest, most of that month is a total blur so I can't even tell you why I stopped so soon. Probably something to do with endless college work. 

This year.... I expect to fail. I'm not going into this thinking I will win. My college work is getting more intense than ever and it is difficult enough to get work done now. 

However, my novel this year is why I am participating. For the first time, I am attempting a nonfiction novel. Consider it an extension of my blog, or a self help book of sorts. Each day I plan on writing a minimum of 1,667 words on a different topic. 

I won't be upset if I don't finish NaNoWriMo though because whatever I do finish, I can always use as posts for my blog. So really, it's a win win situation, never mind the official losing of NaNoWriMo. 

If anything, I hope to get past day four. But with the amount of book reports and major projects I have, I won't be holding my breath. 

So, it probably isn't a bad idea to expect new blog posts coming your way in the next few weeks. 

(PS: To give you perspective on 1667 words a day, this post up to THIS POINT has been 324 words.... Yeah.)

Nothing special, but still meaningful.

Much love,
Elly
