Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year? Must admit I've been playing around with an idea for it, wondering if anyone else is. What's the old Garfield expression? "Misery loves company" wink.gif

Oh, and hi everyone!


Burnt !!!!!! Woo Hoo!!! It is so good to see you on here !!!!

** Good luck to @Everyone doing the Nano this year!

A couple of weeks away from the April Camp NaNoWriMo. For those unsure how that differs from the November one, here’s a brief explanation from their website:

“The key differences between Camp NaNoWriMo and our November writing challenge are that during Camp, you can set your own word-count goal (you’re not locked into 50,000 words!), and you can officially tackle any kind of writing project, novel or not.”

On a personal level, my writing (at least consistently) dropped off a cliff several years ago, when I ended up taking my mother in when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Finding time to write during that period was pretty much impossible. After she passed away in 2020, I just couldn’t seem to find the motivation to restart. It’s only over the last few months I’ve come to realise just how much I miss writing. Not just the final creation, but the actual process itself. So, when I hit 50 (no midlife crisis, nope, promise. Although I have caught myself casting admiring glances at zippy red sports cars recently. Fear not though, I’ve impressively resisted the urge!) a week ago, I promised myself that I was going to focus my time and energy back into it.

And there’s a NaNoWriMo conveniently timed just around the corner! Yay to synchronicity!

My personal plan for this isn’t to write a full-size novel/story, but instead is to write several short stories, to reprogram my brain and fingers back into the habit again.

So, if anyone is planning on doing this already, wasn’t aware it existed but is curious, can’t get the image of zippy red spots cars out of their head, then feel free to join me.

This does sound rather neat. Is everything online? Not that I have time to get involved now, but it's something to consider for the future.
