Good morning, World!
It is now 6:20am here in Mountain Standard Time. I've been up for a little over a half hour. My alarm went off at 5:00am and my brain promptly told it to go away. So I slept until 5:45am until my furry, 19-pound Corgi decided enough was enough and got me up.
Thank you, Canine Alarm Clock!
Today is the last day before NaNoWriMo starts. To be precise, I have 17 hours and 39 minutes. Before everything gets really busy for awhile. Working my jobs and writing about 1700 words a day (50,000/30=1666.666667) makes for a tough 30 days.
But, I am determined. I won it last year (while working full-time and working on classes) so I can do it this year. This year I'm prepared with an 8-page outline, multiple responses to my informal synopsis of "hmmm, that sounds interesting", and a Keurig. Huzzah for Keurig!
It's wonderful to be able to get up before the sun, pop a little cup into a machine, and get coffee/tea/hot cocoa (pick your poison) in under a minute. Best invention since sliced bread!
So, in an attempt to keep you all up to date on what is going on, I will be blogging in the mornings about my process during NaNoWriMo, updates on word counts, problems I encounter, etc and so forth. Mornings are when I need to do my bi-daily brain dump anyway, and well, this is as good a format as ever since most of my posts are random ramblings anyway.
Stay tuned to hear about my adventure through the land of National Novel Writing Month!
