Off for November For NaNoWriMo

I know. I've struggled with blog visiting the last few months, and I don't deserve to take November off for that reason. But... I'm going to take it. I've taken November off from blogging for the last several years to participate in NaNoWriMo. And I plan on doing the same again.

I have a story mapped out (since about 10 months ago) and ready to go. We'll see how mapping works for me with this story. I'm curious if it'll keep me on track or if I'll feel restricted. I'm looking forward to getting back in the writing sprint stage again. This is always fun (until I read back through the horror of word blending I was enjoying). I've been working on re-writes for so long I think I forget what this feeling is. So I'm going to get back at it!

The goal is to hit 50k words on Christmas Warmth (working title), my second Christmas Business story. I'm also going to be reading through Christmas Spirit (1st book, working title) to get back into the business world and different characters there.

I'll be starting about a week late though. I'm working on a content editing job, and pay work always comes first (I can't pass up the pay!). But I find there will be no problem catching up with the word count for the month. I usually finish early as it is, so I should easily hit 50k, and then some.

As for reviews and posts... I will have some audiobook reviews going live through the month. Audiobooks help me get through the day at work, so I'll still be listening there. I hope you stop by to check them out even though I won't be around much.

I'm hoping that after November life will calm a bit with kiddo and all that I'll get back on a schedule for blog visiting and writing and editing work. :)

Now, to make words!
