It’s #NaNoWriMo Eve – are you ready?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"#NaNoWriMo\"<\/a>
If you’re this frazzled now and #NaNo hasn’t started, what will you be like at the end of the month?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

T’is the day before #NaNoWriMo and all through the house…
\nNo one is awake – not even your spouse.<\/p>\n

Okay, so that’s a bit over the top but it is the last day before National Novel Writing Month<\/a> (aka #NaNoWriMo) begins.<\/p>\n

Have you girded your loins (perhaps an exaggeration), got your ducks in a row, an idea outlined, characters created and the like?<\/p>\n

50,000 words in 30 days? I hear you gasp and quake with dread. But don’t think of it that way. With a mere 1667 words every day, you’ll reach that goal.<\/p>\n

My goal for #NaNoWriMo is to write every day. I have two projects on the go – one which will only be about 15,000 words at the very most but with it and the other project (which is outlined to death), I could possibly come up with 50,000 words.\u00a0 I figure when I get bored or run into a wall, or the voices in my head quit talking to me (yes, I hear voices),\u00a0 I can switch off to the other.<\/p>\n

Are you taking part in #NaNoWriMo? If so, I’d love to hear what you’re working on. Let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n

Good luck everyone at reaching your writing goals!<\/p>\n
