I’ve not vanished, however my words have been occupied elsewhere this month as any regular readers will know. This month has been the glorious and annual event that is NanoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I have attempted once again the challenge that is 50000 words in a month. As I sit here now I am at precisely 36,272 (what can I say, I started a little late this year, the 7th to be exact) and I will not be allowing myself to partake of sleep until I have comfortably surpassed 40000. This allows me a few here and there tomorrow, although he best part of the day will be spent celebrating a belated Thanks Giving (US pals). And thusly I shall be left with a reasonable days work on Saturday with which to limp over the finish line.
I am of course today experiencing my favourite part of the creative process. The part where you think, this is a big pile of shitty shit shit that no one in their right mind would ever enjoy much past the first page should they even deem to pick it up in the first place. And therefore it is with that terrifying thought that I fling myself back the word count tool upon my dear little MacBook Air (thank goodness for the exceptional battery life)… Goodbye! See you at 50000
