NaNoWriMo – Day 5
November 5, 2011
Like many in the writing world, I practically fell from the face of the Earth at midnight on November 1st. That marked the start of NaNo 2011, and I’m so exited to be participating again. This year, my writers group is participating as a whole, which provides a level of support and accountability that I can’t even begin to describe. Thanks to my girls I’m hitting my daily goals, and I’m even a few hundred words ahead of the game.
Now, it’s only day five, so I’ve still got a long way to go, but I’m incredibly optimistic about it all. I’m especially looking forward to the next NaNo session where we all gather together and just write, for hours at a time. These sessions have been keeping me afloat, otherwise–between work, family and planning a baby shower–I would have sunk right out the gate. Hopefully, on my days off, I’ll be able to put a nice sized dent in my word count. I’ll need it as a cushion for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, after which I’ll be surprised if I can manage speaking words, let alone writing them.
How’s everyone else’s NaNoing coming along? On schedule? Ahead of the game? A little behind? No worries if you are, there’s still plenty of time to catch up. And I’d better get to writing so I can bump my count before work. Back into the fray!

Hooray for write-ins! Sounds like you’re setting yourself up to meet the challenge.

Here’s hoping! My group is a fabulous support network.
I really don’t know what I’d do, or where I’d be, without them.

Falling behind a little, but on the way to re-covery.
Great luck with your muse!

I think we’ll all have days like that to come in the weeks ahead, but we’ll wind up getting there together. ^_^

Hey there! Haven’t been around in a while. I dropped off the earth a few months ago to finish my degree. How’s your nano going?
