LOSER!


Here it is, ladies and gentlemen. I am here to confess that I am officially a big, big loser.

You'll notice that the NaNoWriMo chart has been taken down. I'm out. I give up. I'm throwing in the towel. I was going strong for a while. I made my daily word count goals for a week straight, but I was a wreck. My time at home with Phoebe and Monkey-Girl was stressed. I Wasn't sleeping enough and my time teaching was suffering.

The founder of NaNoWriMo published a book No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days. Well, low-stress it was not.

My time writing wasn't a total loss. I now have 10,000 words of original fiction generated by myself. That's the most writing I've done in years!I guess I'll have to try again next year when Phoebe isn't such a handful.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Let the jeers begin!

  3. Hey, just giving it a shot is awesome. And maybe you'll finish the novel in your own time.

    Love you guys,
