and I say again:
!!
I am thinking of trying this NaNoWriMo thing--been reading about it and jotting ideas for a few days now. My mother (bless her little soul) sent me an article about it saying "wouldn't this be fun??!!"
I immediately wrote back telling her, with very specific excuses, "No way!" (Lol!! Here I am worrying about punctuation in this post--what makes me think I . . . nevermind . . .
)
It stuck. The thought stuck. The gosh-darned thing crept into my brain and latched on.
I will be attempting to write 50,000 words in something vaguely resembling novel form during the month of November.

P.S. I have approximately 3 billion books on how to write, several binders with notes and handy labels (characters, places, research) untouched for years, a dusty degree in Literature and nothing to show for my ambitions except a few pieces written under classroom deadlines.
P.P.S. My husband keeps reminding me that Raymond Chandler didn't start writing until he was in his mid-fifties.
