Hello everybody! I am back and active in the blog world. I
know I haven’t posted in over a month, but if you have followed me for a long
time, you know that that was not my longest break. It was mostly due to
NaNoWriMo, which was great this year. I wrote 75,000 words (a novel and a
half,) this month, and I’m still about 20,000 words short of the complete
novel. (Before editing and all that stuff.)
A part of me wishes I was one of those people who barely
managed to scrape by through the whole month and during the last week pull it
all together and won despite my constant lagging. A part of me wishes I had no
idea what I was getting into and getting by just on me creativity and wits. A
part of me wishes that I could actually use the dares on the form, and pulled
several all-nighters just to reach my word goal.
But I’m not. I’m one of those people who can whip out 1,500
words in an hour typing at a comfortable pace, not hurried with some minor
editing, and I had the luxury of having a couple hours a day to write. So I was
the smug over achiever who was a bit down that I didn’t finish with twice the
number of words needed to win.
Now we enter December. The holiday month. In honor of this
season, I will be doing...
Yes I know there’s a lot of people doing the same thing, and
much more officially, but I wanted to do my own thing. For twenty-four days,
every other day, I will write a Christmas themed post. There is no general
thing, other than the fact that it is Christmas. I’ll be sharing some of my
favorite Christmas songs, our traditions for this season, random Christmas
trivia, and much more.
