After

Unlike some of my much more focused and dedicated friends,  I did not finish a novel for NaNoWriMo.(Congrats Jon) It was not just because I was an idiot and decided to tack on NaBloPoMo and NoJoMo at the same time. I actually finished the latter and was very close to finishing NaBloPoMo, at least I tried. It just was not the right time for me to try to complete the NaNoWriMo project.

My mind wanted to write something else after the first few days, and I just was not ready to do that yet. I did not stop writing entirely, so the project will be completed sooner than if I had not endeavored to dust off the idea and pursue it, but it happens to the best of us.

Minus the bits where I was clearly writing an entirely different story, I enjoyed getting back into the swing of producing something everyday. The NoJoMo entries were the part I actually looked forward to, simply because they were more personal. It was perfect timing for that, which may be the reason I did finish it.

While all this was happening, I was privileged enough to help gut a commercial building. Even though that endeavor had been behind schedule for some time, with the quick demo we have it back on track. Now we just have to wait on certain professionals to bring the building up to code.

November was packed with me trying to write as if my life depended on it and breaking things with power tools.  Fun times indeed.
