Wow...a lot has changed since last year's ill-fated attempt at NaNoWriMo.
I think I have a shot this time.
No more vultures circling the computer.
No more being anywhere but home...because home really *is* home now.
Boyfriend is a writer too...
Now to figure out what to write, and get myself geared up for success!
November, here I come!

Well, that didn't go very well.
We need another computer. That's all there is to it. With 3 adults vying for computer time, it's just not feasible to get anything significant done.
And I can't really write at work without distraction. And they (gasp!) actually expect me to work from time to time. So becoming engrossed in the writing headspace, though highly tempting, would not improve my productivity in relation to my job.
Sigh.
Of course, I've been presented with another option, one I truly should have thought of on my own. What about using actual pen and paper, at least during the creation stages? I do that for journaling. I've found that when I'm deeply troubled about something, or need to really open up my heart and dig through my psyche, it has to be on paper. And I can remember having notebooks scattered all over my room as a kid, with bits of stories and poems everywhere.
Who would have thought I'd become such a technophile? Good gods, I've been assimilated!
Methinks Euphrates is going to downgrade, and try this again. She's obviously too late for NaNoWriMo this year, but still worth doing anyway.
(But if the gods of yule are listening...a laptop would still be a LOVELY addition to the family...)
:D

I've created this as a writing blog
We'll see how this goes. I just joined nanowrimo - National Novel Writing Month, where the goal is to write a 175 page 50,000 word novel between November 1 and November 30. I'm probably nuts to try this, but since I want to write, this is a good motivator. Now to do some planning!
