And I do not have anything to show for it! I have written of course; for work, writing a letter to my mother for her birthday and doodles. But I have not been productive for NaNoWriMo. I  haven’t given up yet because I have a couple of days off from work next week and I know I will be able to get a chunk of that 50,000 written. I hope I can pull it together soon!

Every year since I’ve graduated from High School I have told myself that I will take part in the National Novel Writing Month. Every year I start out strong and write every day, often times spending a whole day writing. And every year, usually around the middle of the month, I quit. Not deliberately but it always seems to happen. This year I will write 50,000 words.

I always wanted to be a writer but lack of time and determination has really stopped me. I view writing as a hobby and not necessarily as a career. Even if I cannot write everyday, I will reach my goal.

Happy National Novel Writing Month!
