Halfway to Insanity
NaNoWriMo.





What do we think of when it comes to National Novel Writing Month? For me, I think of INSANITY.





I mean, what was I thinking?! Fifty-thousand word in thirty days? With a full-time job, a nine-year-old kid, a four-credit college course and a relationship? I must have been insane to think this was a good idea. Here I am, Day 12, and I haven't been hitting my goals.





But.





I've written under deadline before. I had to hit 30,000 words in three weeks because I was writing for a client. She called it a novel, but 30,000 words is really a novella. Still, it had a beginning, middle, an end, and the characters had backstory and development. One of those weeks, I didn't have time until the weekend, and I wrote 9,400 words IN A DAY. So, it can be done. I know it can. I just have to find the time to do it.





Almost halfway through November, and I am not halfway done, but don't lose faith, dear reader. I may make my goal yet. Just you wait and see.
