I thought something was different this November.  Here it is the 16th and I didn’t even remember that this is National Novel Writing Month until today.  I participated for four years and this  year I decided early on that I would not do it.

It is a great event.  I’m not knocking it.  Those years I did it, I got completely into it, but that said… it totally took over my life too.  So, here I am rambling through November and I just realized that the tension and the stress of  trying to grab every waking minute to up my word count is missing.  So, I say…. happy writing to all you who are participating.  Hope to see some of your novels published in the near future.  I may be back another year, but this year….. just having a great time sitting around wondering why November is so stress-free this year.
