This is the second time writing this post. *grump*

On January 1, 2006, I started a new venture. I joined with several other people in a year long writing adventure called NaNoWriYe. You spend the entire year working towards a goal that you set for yourself. You can choose from as little as 50,000 words up to 3,000,000 words.

Personally, I joined at the 250,000 word level. This is an average of 685 words per day or 4,795 words per week. This, to me, isn't an outrageous idea. It takes focus and discipline and it strengthens the writers abilities.

Normally, I write mostly erotica, but with this I have been doing a series of non-erotic short stories, along with 2 erotica novellas and an erotic-bdsm story collection.

Now, rather than working on my novella's, I have spent far more time working on both short story collections. I have been unable to find my focus and desire to work with my novella characters. Perhaps, I should have waited on the collections.

So far, I am on target for the year, however. Which is good. Perhaps when I get further, I will focus on my novellas.
