This.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

This is what happens when you land on the first day of NaNoWriMo and you’re still not done the read-through of the novel revision that was due on the 31st AND IT’S YOUR DAY TO BLOG.

*grin*

You’re all participating in National Novel Writing Month, right? Me too. My handle is Princess Alethea.

You will see from my stats that I have participated in NaNo a bunch of years, and I have yet to ever complete it. That’s right, folks, I have failed EVERY SINGLE TIME.

But that doesn’t stop me from trying.  As I learned from Sherrilyn Kenyon & Buzz Lightyear: Never Give Up! Never Surrender!

Based on the fact that I only had a few months to piece together a novel this summer (and then completely revise & partially rewrite it), I believe this year is my best chance of hitting 50K by November 30th.

But I’m not holding my breath.

For instance, I will probably get no new writing done until this weekend because I AM STILL POLISHING THIS REVISION. (And let me assure you, I am chomping at the bit to work on a new project right now. Anything else. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.)

Want to feel more productive than a NYT Bestselling author? Friend me on NaNo. You’ll instantly feel better about yourself, I promise.

So, do you NaNo?

  1. Hey Princess! I’m on NaNo as jkeelythrall. I’ve only attempted a couple of times, but we share the whole nothing ventured, nothing gained spirit! Good luck on a quick end to the revisions and a weekend of makeup writing this weekend!

  2. I didn’t sign up – I’m following it “in spirit” hoping to use the inspiration to get a lot of work done on Highlands book 3. So I’m with you, if informally.

  3. Princess Alethea,
    I’m hearing a bit of stress in your post. Or is that just me? 🙂
    I have finished NaNo before, but I don’t have a book published. So who’s the real winner, huh?
    I’ve already “buddied” you.
    Good luck, Princess. May the NaNo force be with you.

  4. Princess, you are a NYT Bestselling author!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just felt the need to say that with a smile like the total fan girl I am. 🙂 Oh yes, and GO NaNo!

  5. Ha-ha – this made me laugh, Princess A! I have signed up for NaNo quite a few times myself and have never completed it. Why? Because November is a stupid month to do it. Besides T-giving, it’s usually a killer month for me at day job. This year should be a bit better but I’m still revising my WIP so probably won’t get to NaNo. But I will try. I have a new, fun idea that I’d love to start writing. We shall see… 😉
