Yes, that’s right. The insanity of NaNoWriMo is coming and I’m PUMPED! Now that I’ve settled on what story I’m writing, I can’t wait to dive in. Watching my daily word count creep up will do my little OCD heart good.
I love to challenge myself. I think that’s why I’m always looked for something else, something exciting to do. And in a way, writing is the perfect profession for me.
Everytime I sit down in front of my computer to start a new project, I get excited. I dream about my character (especially my heroes 
), work on their scenes, hear what they are going to say. It’s a huge challenge to try and create not only characters that are going to interest people, but stories and worlds that will stick with people.
It’s a never ending challenge – and I love it.
I hear you!
I’m pumped about NaNo, too, and ever since Seventy Days of Sweat catapulted my butt out of the worst writing slump I’ve ever experienced, I’ve been a Writing Challenge Addict!
Best of luck with your NaNo novel — I’ll be right there with you, churning out those words!
I’m not doing NaNo this year. I have enough stress in my life to last me for a while now. Adding something else will just simply cause me health problems.
Happy Halloween!
I’m excited to get started. Hope I feel the same way next week.
