I’m pleased that I’ve made all the weekly updates so far with Polu Texni. Some of the things I thought I’d run have been delayed, but I’ve always found something to take their place, for a smooth schedule so far. I’ve got the next few weeks queued up and ready to go, so I should be on schedule for quite some time.
It’s going to be challenging this month… my daughter asked me if I would do NanoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, with her. It’s a challenge to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I haven’t been writing much myself lately, but I had all those old outlines and story ideas that I’ve been living with for years. I picked one, and it’s been pouring out of me… wow, in the ten years since I started plotting this one, I guess I’ve done a lot of work on it.
So far I’m pwning Alice. HA! But she doesn’t have the advantage of stories which have been stuck for decades. It’s a real thrill to do something like this with your daughter — I knew it was dumb to try to write 50K words in 30 days on top of everything else I’ve committed to do (committed is the operative word here) but I just couldn’t say no to her if she wanted to try it. The Queen of Biting Off More Than I Can Chew strikes again!
