Holy moly!

That's a lot of writing. Dang, I don't know how that happened. 

I'm ahead (right now) for NaNoWriMo but I'm not sure how long that's going to last. I've got my NaNoWriMo project going, and a second project in the wings, as well as a fanfiction that I'm being pestered to finish by a friend. So, needless to say, I've got my fingers in quite a few pies. And priorities are shifting somewhat.

I guess the good news is I'm writing every day. And I'm writing quite a bit every day. This isn't just a few piddly pages. This is pretty decent in volume and relatively good quality (says my second glances I'm taking every night). 

The whole point of NaNoWriMo is to punch out a (really) rough draft of a novel. It's a good motivator to be able to get 50k words down in 30 days. It gives your whole mindset a good boost. A writer can use that every so often, especially when it feels like you're making little to no progress in the authoring department. 

I know I always feel much more invigorated after the madcap dash that is November. I'm hoping to keep that momentum going a little longer than I did last year. I think the momentum died out sometime in March last year. So, I'm hoping to keep up the productivity all year round this year. 

We'll see...

In other news, this election is giving me an ulcer. CNN is going off now.
