November is writing month for me, as well as many other bloggers and writers. In addition to my other writing and editing work, the next thirty days will find 13,000+ people participating in National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo. Bloggers who sign up vow to post at least thirty times between now and December. Believe me, it sounds easier than the reality, especially as the holiday season kicks into gear in the latter half of the month!The supercrazy writers not only sign up for NaBloPoMo but also the 50,000-word novel writing extravaganza known as NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. Close to 200,000 (!) word-mad people with stories to tell have started the writing marathon today. I've completed over 2500 words so far this afternoon and am feeling quite pleased with myself---just another 47, 452 words to go!
So there will be entries here every day of the week this month, not just the usual Monday through Friday postings, and I'll keep a tally of my NaNoWriMo word count here as well so you can track my progess---and reprimand me should I fall behind! :-)
Before I get back to my characters and their adventures, I have a superuseful and easy project for anyone who lives in a cold-weather climate and could benefit from some extra insulation around their windows. A friend just sent me this link with instructions for window quilts. What a fabulous idea! Several years ago we hung a heavy floor-length curtain inside our front door, which has helped tremendously with our energy efficiency, but until now I had not found a practical solution for our windows. Window quilts are the answer! I love when history repeats itself this way. :-D
