Well, it’s October, and among other things, that means it’s time to get ready for National Novel Writing Month! The forums have been swept clear in the annual autumn cleaning and the new website rolled out. I’m still not sure what I’m going to write this year, but I found a delivery slip on my doorknob this evening when I got home, so hopefully I’ll be able to pick up ‘Goal, Motivation, Conflict’ and another great book from Gryphon press to help fire up my imagination. I also snapped up Holly Lisle’s ‘Create a Character’ workshop book from Amazon, since the big sale was held over for a day and a bit. 🙂
Still really excited about being an ML for this year, and a little nervous. It’ll be a fun ride, that’s for sure.
So let’s see, what else has been going on? I did quite well with my September goals, all except for posting a full polished story up on fanfiction.net, which just took too much time. And I haven’t settled on my October to-do list just yet, but I put in more time this evening on lesson 18 for ‘How to Revise your Novel.’
I’m excited. Did I say that already? Are you excited?
I’ve not done NaNo yet–perhaps someday when I have a convenient gap in projects. Or when I can conveniently hide in a small corner of the world with chocolate and tea until December1. 😉
And yay for getting new writing books!!

Oh my gosh. I attempted NaNo last year but school got in the way. This is the first year I’m going to take it seriously. I’ve signed up for my account and everything.
I just have to get through OctPoWriMo first.

Good luck!
Yes, excited, but nervous too as I’m an ML this year *gulp* 😉
