It’s Now or NaNo Never

I have shed tears over this NANOWRIMO project.  Never before have I had so little time and so many things I really want to do.  Setting ourselves back up in America and catching up with friends and family has taken every spare minute of my time.

When I say that, I don’t mean it in the way of I spent two hours watching tv that I could have dedicated to writing.  I seriously mean I haven’t had any time.  Not a minute.  If I could only figure out how to do without sleep… but I actually need my regular 5 hours.

Now that it’s the end of November and I have a mere 5 days left to finish the 50,000 word novel I suddenly find myself with more time.  Mr. Smith’s visa situation has been all taken care of and all that’s left is to mail all the test results and immunization proofs back to immigration.  All the running around associated with my jobs to get drug tests, orientation training and documentation is also finished.  Here, when it’s just about too late, I finally have the time I’ve needed.

I have been told I’m insanely stubborn.  When I set my mind to do something it pretty much always gets done.  Not everything always goes to plan and it may take longer than I wanted, but it gets done.  I really wanted to finish this NANO project.  I want to find out what happens when you do finish it on time.  I’m planning on doing this every November now and I don’t want my first try to be a wash out.  I want the damn T-shirt.

I really think I can carve a novel out of my flesh and work two jobs in a week.  From now until December I’ll probably just be posting progress updates here on Dandilyon Fluff.  If I fail, and that’s probable to be honest, we can all have a good laugh.  Until then I am determined.

Can I write a 50,000 word novel in 5 days?  Let’s find out ;D
