Licorice Lasso
A lot of people say, "I'd do NaNoWriMo if it wasn't in November. November is such a bad month. February would be better."
Today, I will pull out my licorice rope, but instead of using it as a whip, I will fashion into a lasso and pull in as many words as I can. I have four hours today. Four hours to spend at The Vault. Four hours to write as much as possible.
You know what? I completely agree. And that's why I think it's great to have it happen in November. Even if I don't get to 50,000 words, I know I will have written so many more words than I would have if I wasn't playing along.
November's so full of family situations: school conferences, music concerts, half days at school, and two kids with strep throat. And that's just been in the last two days. But I will find time to write where I can.
I'll let you know how many words I'm able to capture in my licorice lasso. And feel free to join in.
