November 1 is the start of NaNoWriMo.
November is also the month of American Thanksgiving, which has always been a favorite of mine, not just because it’s Thanksgiving, but because my little sister demands that I reproduce exactly all my amazing grandmother’s recipes, and stands watch over me to make sure that I do just so.
And November is also the month before December, where we feel like we still have plenty of time to spare and time to play around with the making all our presents for all the extended friends and family for which we had grand plans.
As I committed to previously, this is the first year I am trying to win NaNoWriMo (winning simply involving finishing). However, that is going to mean some advanced planning on my part. That also translates to multiple benefits for my dear constant readers.
Since I have made the choice to juggle my own multiple balls in the air, I’m going to have to organize a lot more clearly than I have before. Gifts that can be made in advance need to be. Lists that can be done before hand need to be. Cleaning that can be done must be. And baking and the like that can be done before hand must be.
Which means that if you follow along, there is a darned good chance that you can get a heck of a lot done long before Christmas hits.
There are a lot of my fellow NaNo participants out there reading along now, including a contingent of NaNo virgins. We are going to do fine. This is a lark. If we make it, lovely. If we don’t, lovely too. No pressure. This is for fun, people.
Kattitudes will be fast and frantic through November. I’ll be looking for lots of conversations all throughout. Balancing novel writing and crafting will be fascinating. I’m rather interested to see how I do it myself.
