#NaNoWriMo takes place starting on November first and runs through the month, finishing on November 30. The idea is to write a novel in 30 days. I have done this twice before and have signed up again for 2015. The past two years I found it difficult, but achievable. Here’s hoping that this year works much the same way.  NaNoWriMo is all about word counts, just getting it down on paper, not editing, just writing.  Creating that first rough, sometimes really rough, draft is the starting point for most of us. I am trying to get a handle on editing my current manuscript, a relic from 2013, but may have to put it away to focus on writing come November.

Tonight we watched the new trailer for #TheForceAwakens and my son asked if the movie is ready now, or are they still working on it? Thinking about how long it takes something to go from start to finish made me wonder if they are still refining a few small details or just working on distribution? My work from 2013 is still in progress and looks to remain “in progress” for some time yet. Something like Star Wars takes years to create and that is AFTER they came up with the story.  Makes me editing my little story seem almost fast.
