Update On National Novel Writing Month

So what can I say, except that I have done this before and it doesn't scare me anymore. There is some excitement/fear, well, maybe a lot, but I care about getting it done now. Yesterday, I didn't quite meet my goal but I created a table of contents, wrote all the titles in, and edited some - sigh!

Creativity is questionable as I expected to write fiction, or at least I was duh hopeful that it would be fiction. But I started as a pantser, aka flying by the seat of my pants. No pre-planning for me. No character development, no plan for direction or plot, no nothing. Instead, I am writing what I know.

You may have guessed it. About me you see. I have been talking about me, my long-term recovery, and my life in two worlds. That is what I know see, that made sense to me as it was the start and all I had was a title and photo of fall and something I thought would make a good fiction story. No go!

Well, I managed to fit in a reason for the photo and title in case I choose to use it. I have to say that this NaNoWriMo has been great for putting new material together for a fundraiser creation that I can print myself. It has worked before a few times now. I don't have to find a publisher or editor as I am that.

Okay, I do find edits after it is published and up for sale for the fundraiser and the topics are a fit for the crowd and usually sell, just no curtain raiser. Some years I sell the rest or place them in a gallery or gift shop for sale. It is the materials and time involved are mine, and the fundraiser is a big hit.

NaNoWriMo feeds my writing passion

it doesn't matter that I won't cash in

If it was fiction, I may have put it in the

hands of a publisher, and made some uh

money. Back to writing on NaNo. Duh.

Authors Note: Hope this counts as poetry as it is far from 600 words and it is over 100. Is that still a thing? I can't tell anymore.
