Wow - not enjoyed my writing this much in a good long while. For those of you who have never heard of NaNo, I will give you a brief summary of what it is. Basically you write a novel in a month - yes a month! Roughly 2000 words a day will take you up to around 50,000 words by the end of November. Impossible? No. The key is to just write (or type in my case) no editing just go with the flow. Its great fun. I'm up to just over 6,500 words and I am loving it.
Ok so eventually I will have one massive tasks editing a whole novel but - I would have written it. Such a brilliant idea. Over the years I think I may have become a little OTT with editing as I am finding it so very hard not to edit along the way or after I've finished for the day. As I say I've not has so much fun writing in a long time.
Other than that things on a day to basis are much the same and my health is much improved. I apologise, once again, for not blogging in so long but I hope you can understand why.
It was nice to sign in today and find a message waiting for me. Thank you for that it cheered me up and made me feel I really am not alone.
About Me

- A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.
