30 Days and 30 Short StoriesThis is my 6th year of participation in the annual frenzy of writing, called NaNoWriMo. And I’ve done pretty well so far.
I’m taking part in Misha and Beth’s Five Year Project and my five-year goal is to write a novel and get it published. To pursue this goal, I really should be continuing my quest to find an agent interested in my historical novel, The Reluctant Scribe. But, in fact, I’ve been doing other things…

In fact, there are 4 unfinished books sitting on my hard drive.
I’m not exactly a completer-finisher.

And then I was catching up.

Should be over 25,000 words by now, but I’m not.
The good news is that I’m feeling somewhat better this afternoon. Managed to stay out of bed for 10 hours and did some frantic tapping and got some serious words down.
Slowly, slowly, creeping up and creeping forward.
I’m getting there. A little behind target. But I’m getting there.
No time to add anything else. Too busy with NaNoWriMo.
I may be a rebel, but I’m going to be a 50,000 word finisher rebel.
